A parametric study on the performance characteristics of an evacuated flat-plate photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) collector (2020)
Journal Article
Hu, M., Guo, C., Zhao, B., Ao, X., Suhendri, Cao, J., …Pei, G. (2021). A parametric study on the performance characteristics of an evacuated flat-plate photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) collector. Renewable Energy, 167, 884-898. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2020.12.008

An evacuated flat-plate photovoltaic/thermal (E-PV/T) collector was proposed. The inner space of the E-PV/T collector is vacuumed to suppress non-radiative heat losses, thus increasing thermal efficiency of the collector. Therefore, the E-PV/T collec...

Implementation of Passive Radiative Cooling Technology in Buildings: A Review (2020)
Journal Article
Suhendri, S., Hu, M., Su, Y., Darkwa, J., & Riffat, S. (2020). Implementation of Passive Radiative Cooling Technology in Buildings: A Review. Buildings, 10(12), 1-28. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings10120215

Radiative cooling (RC) is attracting more interest from building engineers and architects. Using the sky as the heat sink, a radiative cooling material can be passively cooled by emitting heat to the sky. As a result of the development of material te...

Radiative cooling (RC) shows good potential for building energy saving by throwing waste heat to the cosmos in a passive and sustainable manner. However, most available radiative coolers suffer from low cooling flux. The situation becomes even deteri...
