TL;DR: In this paper, an open-circuit voltage measure is performed during the pseudonormal operation of the interfacing power electronic converter. And the proposed MPPT technique is supported by theoretical analysis and used to control a synchronous Buck-Boost converter.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of mismatched operating temperatures on the power output of an array of thermoelectric generators is examined. But the experimental results clearly illustrate the issue and a theoretical model is presented to quantify the impact.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the transparency and performance of DSSCs is studied by changing the TiO2 electrode thickness, which shows a power conversion efficiency of 5.93% and a Jsc of 12.75% with 37% transparency in the visible range.

TL;DR: In this paper, a computer-aided model is presented to accurately simulate the non-linear electro-thermal coupled effects which occur during changes in the operating conditions, e.g. temperature or load changes.

TL;DR: The surfactant‐free solution methodology, simply using water as a solvent, has been developed for the straightforward synthesis of single‐phase orthorhombic SnSe nanoplates in gram quantities, and offers an energy‐efficient, rapid route to p‐type Sn Se nanostructures.
