Passively Ultra Cooling Patch Enabling High‐Efficiency Power‐Water Cogeneration (Adv. Mater. 2/2026)
Sustainable Water-Power Cogeneration In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202505002), Zhengyi Mao, Hongxing Yang, Qiliang Wang, Jian Lu, and colleagues report a flexible, adhesive patch that boosts PV panel performance with ultra cooling. By engineering a three-layer structure, this patch ingeniously regulates latent heat from vapor in the air and waste heat from PV panels, achieving sustainable water-power cogeneration.
