Summary: The experimental investigation on the viscosity of nanofluids with Fe3O4 nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) showed new empirical formulas for accurate viscosity predictions. Surfactants like TMAH, SDS, and SLS were found to improve stability, reduce viscosity, and enhance thermal conductivity in Fe3O4-water, CNT-water, and Fe3O4-CNT-water nanofluids. The CNT-water and Fe3O4-CNT-water nanofluids exhibited shear-thinning behavior, while water-based Colace-Fe3O4, TMAH-Fe3O4, and TSC-Fe3O4 nanofluids displayed linear rheological behavior.

Summary: The main goal of this paper is to develop a new solar hybrid nanofluid with improved thermo-physical properties for solar applications in order to enhance solar efficiency. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was synthesized using the modified Hummers' method, while silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized through liquid-phase reduction. Characterization of the Ag-rGO/water hybrid nanofluid was done using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Stability of the prepared hybrid nanofluid was investigated through measurements of Zeta potential and PI index. The results showed enhanced thermal conductivity and viscosity, as well as a slight increase in density, with increasing concentration of Ag-rGO nanofluid.

Summary: In this study, nickel cobalt phosphate (NiCoP) was optimized as a positive electrode material for electrochromic energy storage applications using response surface methodology and central composite design (RSM/CCD). The NiCoP composite was prepared through electrodeposition, and four input variables (concentration of precursors, number of CV cycles, and scan rate) were simultaneously optimized for specific capacity. Statistical analysis showed that all four factors significantly influenced the specific capacity of NiCoP. The resulting quadratic model accurately predicted the specific capacity of NiCoP up to 97% with a residual standard error of 3%. The novel NiCoP electrode materials exhibited remarkable electrochromic properties and supercapacitive performance due to the synergistic effect of bimetallic oxides (NiCo) and high surface area phosphate.

Summary: The energy consumption of buildings, particularly HVAC systems, is higher than that of transportation and industry combined. Current research on smart windows has failed to meet consumer demands by focusing on individual functionalities. Therefore, researchers must exploit material properties to develop multifunctional smart windows. Integrating applications like electrochromic, thermochromic, photochromic, and supercapacitor technologies into one device can achieve this. Evaluating the feasibility of combining electrochromic and energy conversion devices, this review discusses smart window technology, commercialization limitations, and potential materials. Multifunctional smart windows can significantly reduce energy consumption and enhance human comfort in more buildings and retrofits.

Summary: As the global population grows, the demand for food, energy, and water will increase significantly. However, limited land availability and competition for solar resources pose challenges to resource generation technologies. In the United States, both agriculture and solar energy production have adopted densification schemes to improve yields and energy output per unit of land. This research proposes an Agrivoltaic food and energy coproduction architecture that optimizes power generation while maintaining crop productivity by implementing ideal anti-tracking during critical growth periods. This technology offers a viable pathway for widespread solar implementation throughout the contiguous United States.
