Structural Order of the Molecular Adlayer Impacts the Stability of Nanoparticle-on-Mirror Plasmonic Cavities

Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Sachin Suresh Verlekar, Fernando Pablo Cometto, Karla Banjac, Aqeel Ahmed

Immense field enhancement and nanoscale confinement of light are possible within nanoparticle-on-mirror (NPoM) plasmonic resonators, which enable novel optically activated physical and chemical phenomena and render these nanocavities greatly sensitive to m ...

Solar cooking potential in Switzerland: Nodal modelling and optimization

Dasaraden Mauree, Josef Andreas Schuler, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard, Luc Burnier, Jérémy Jacques Antonin Fleury, Timothée Chatelain, Samson Taylor

Solar cooking is one possible solution to reduce the domination of fossil fuel in the domestic sector and to benefit from renewable energy. This study assesses the solar cooking potential in Switzerland. A nodal model, based on energy balance equations of ...

High-flux optical systems for solar thermochemistry

Sophia Haussener, Gaël Jean Clément Levêque

High-flux optical systems (HFOSs) are optical concentrators used to increase the radiative flux of the natural terrestrial solar irradiation. High radiative flux concentration leads to high energy density in solar receivers which allow to obtain high tempe ...

Pore-level engineering of macroporous media for increased performance of solar-driven thermochemical fuel processing

Sophia Haussener, Silvan Suter, Aldo Steinfeld

The performance of high-temperature solar reactors incorporating porous ceramic materials that serve as radiative absorbers and chemical reaction sites can be improved significantly by tailoring their pore structure. We investigated the changes in their ef ...

Multi-Scale Modelling of a Solar Reactor for the High-Temperature Step of a Sulphur-Iodine-Based Water Splitting Cycle

Sophia Haussener, Aldo Steinfeld

The 3-step sulphur-iodine-based thermochemical cycle for splitting water is considered. The high-temperature step consists of the evaporation, decomposition, and reduction of H2SO4 to SO2 using concentrated solar process heat. This step is followed by the ...

Sol-gel deposition and optical characterization of multilayered SiO2/Ti1-xSixO2 coatings on solar collector glasses

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Andreas Schueler, Christian Roecker, Estelle De Chambrier

Thin films of silicon oxide and silicon titanium mixed oxides are deposited on solar collector glazing in a sol–gel dip-coating process based on alcoxide precursors. Spectrophotometry is used to characterize the relation of film thickness and withdrawal sp ...

Angle-dependent spectrophotometry of Sol-Gel deposited multilayered oxide coatings on solar collector glasses

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Andreas Schueler, Christian Roecker, Dipanwita Dutta

Multilayered thin oxide films have been deposited on solar collector glazing by sol-gel dip coating in a dust-free environment provided by a laminar flux chapel. A superior film quality and a satisfying film homogeneity have been achieved for the produced ...
