Surface engineering to manipulate solar energy for thermal management by Fei, Jipeng

“…It was found that high relative humidity (averagely ~65% at sunny daytime and higher on cloudy days) leads to an apparently narrowed atmospheric window, which strongly hinders the long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) radiation. Meanwhile, daytime solar intensity in Singapore can reach more than 1200 W/m2, which is much higher than that in other regions. …”

In-situ infrared spectroscopy studies of surface reactions over irradiated photocatalysts by Gong, Dangguo

“…DRIFTS studies were made initially on P25 TiO2 and its platinized form to establish any changes in state under illumination and its relation with the ambient gas environment, water vapour and O2 in particular. Earlier reports of long-lived and reversible photochromism due to free carriers (electrons) were confirmed, and a detailed study made of the conditions that optimize the effect. …”
