Journal ArticleDOI
A salt-rejecting floating solar still for low-cost desalination
George Ni,Seyed Hadi Zandavi,Seyyed Morteza Javid,Svetlana V. Boriskina,Thomas Cooper,Gang Chen +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a salt-rejecting evaporation structure that can operate continuously under sunlight to generate clean vapor while floating in a saline body of water such as an ocean is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring Conversion Efficiency of Solar Vapor Generation
Xiuqiang Li,George Ni,Thomas Cooper,Ning Xu,Jinlei Li,Lin Zhou,Xiaozhen Hu,Bin Zhu,Pengcheng Yao,Jia Zhu +9 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors focused on solar energy conversion and nanoscale heat transfer and obtained their PhD and MSc from ETH Zurich in 2014 and 2010, respectively, and their BASc from the University of Toronto in 2008, all in mechanical engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contactless steam generation and superheating under one sun illumination.
Thomas Cooper,Seyed Hadi Zandavi,George Ni,Yoichiro Tsurimaki,Yi Huang,Svetlana V. Boriskina,Gang Chen +6 more
TL;DR: Solar steam generation is limited by fouling of solar converters, and the steam temperature is usually pinned to 100 °C, but both limitations are overcome in a system utilizing a solar absorber and light down-converter to achieve radiative heating, which does not require physical contact between absorbers and water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thomas Cooper,Jonathan R. Scheffe,Maria Elena Galvez,Roger Jacot,Greta R. Patzke,Aldo Steinfeld +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic experimental screening of doped lanthanum manganites within the composition space La1−x(Ca,Sr)xMn1−yAlyO3 and La0.6Sr0.4Mn 0.6Al0.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen nonstoichiometry, defect equilibria, and thermodynamic characterization of LaMnO3 perovskites with Ca/Sr A-site and Al B-site doping
TL;DR: In this article, the thermodynamic properties of four doped lanthanum manganites, namely La0.6A 0.6Ca 0.1−yAlyO3 (A, Ca, Sr and y = 0, 0.4MnO3 by the divalent Ca but also increases significantly when additionally doping 40%% Al to the Mn-site.
