Electrophoretic deposition of reduced graphene oxide thin films for reduction of cross-sectional heat diffusion in glass windows by Yeo, Loo Pin, Nguyen, Tam Duy, Ling, Han, Lee, Ying, Mandler, Daniel, Magdassi, Shlomo, Tok, Alfred Iing Yoong

“…The sample thicknesses increase with increasing number of deposition cycles (5, 10, 20 cycles). It is hypothesized that such rGO thin films, which are well-known for their high thermal conductivities, can conduct heat away laterally towards heat sinks and reduce near-infrared (NIR) transmittance through them, thus effectively slowing down the temperature increment indoors. …”

Assessing the impact of anthropogenic pollution on isoprene-derived secondary organic aerosol formation in PM2.5 collected from the Birmingham, Alabama, ground site during the 2013 Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study by Guo, Hongyu, Rattanavaraha, Weruka, Stone, Elizabeth A., Offenberg, John H., Zhang, Zhenfa, Gold, Avram, Surratt, Jason D., Chu, Kevin, Riva, Matthieu, Lin, Ying-Hsuan, Baumann, Karsten, Shaw, Stephanie L., Budisulistiorini, Sri Hapsari, Edgerton, Eric S., King, Laura, Weber, Rodney J., Neff, Miranda E.

“…In the southeastern US, substantial emissions of isoprene from deciduous trees undergo atmospheric oxidation to form secondary organic aerosol (SOA) that contributes to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Laboratory studies have revealed that anthropogenic pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and aerosol acidity, can enhance SOA formation from the hydroxyl radical (OH)-initiated oxidation of isoprene; however, the mechanisms by which specific pollutants enhance isoprene SOA in ambient PM2.5 remain unclear. …”
