DOI: 10.1002/adfm.202520135
Abstract: Buildings account for 40% of global energy consumption, with half expended on thermal management. While reversible zinc electrodeposition devices (Zn‐ECDs) offer promising broad‐spectrum modulation for smart windows, conventional designs require complex Zn‐anodes and exhibit heat‐absorbing… read more here.
