Exploiting CO2‐Derived Carbon in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
In this work, a carbon nanomaterial (CNM) extracted from CO2 reduction treatment is used as the conductive additive in lithium‐ion battery graphite anodes and LiFePO4 cathodes. The electrodes are produced by casting, using both sodium alginate as a green, water‐soluble, alternative binder.

Low‐Cost, High‐Efficiency Organic Solar Cells Based on Ecofriendly Processing Solvent

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
A low‐complexity, cost‐effective donor material, PTQ10, combined with the high‐efficiency acceptor materials, BTP‐eC9 and Y6, demonstrates excellent performance with the ecofriendly solvent o‐xylene (XY) instead of the traditional chloroform (CF) for the spin‐coating method.

Harnessing γ‐Valerolactone: Green and Low‐Toxic Solvent for Enhanced Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells Performance Under Indoor Lighting

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This research explores the use of γ‐valerolactone (γ‐VL), a sustainable and low‐toxic solvent, as an alternative for dye‐sensitized solar cell electrolytes. Results indicate that while γ‐VL is less suitable for outdoor applications, it significantly outperforms traditional solvents like acetonitrile and 3‐methoxypropionitrile under indoor lighting ...

Suppressed Thermal Conductivity in van der Waals Semiconductor SnS2 by Stacking Engineering

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Achieving low thermal conductivity is crucial for materials used for thermoelectric energy conversion. It is demonstrated that the lattice thermal conductivity of van der Waals semiconductor SnS2 can be significantly reduced by introducing 2H and 4H structures stacked along the c‐axis.

The Bitter Taste of Brazil's Temporary Import Ban on Robusta Coffee

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brazil, a leading Robusta coffee producer and exporter, faced a significant drought in 2016–2017, which drastically reduced production and depleted stocks. Consequently, Brazil temporarily permitted the import of one million 60‐kg bags of Robusta coffee in the spring 2017. An import ban was imposed shortly afterward due to lobbying by domestic

AIEgen‐Based and Smartphone‐Assisted On‐Site Quantitation of Cystatin C for Monitoring of Chronic Kidney Disease

Aggregate, EarlyView.
By employing new protein‐templated AIEgen Ir@BSA as the phosphorescence signal indicator and papain as the biomolecular recognition element, a straightforward protocol for Cys C quantitation has been developed. On‐site quantitation of Cys C in clinical serum samples has been successfully demonstrated using a smartphone‐based portable phosphorescence ...
