Over three‐quarters of earthworm species lack protection in China, a crisis exacerbated by climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Earthworms, as ‘ecosystem engineers', play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem functions and shaping community structures. Due to climate change, earthworms face severe survival pressures and extinction risks. However, whether conservation efforts targeting aboveground biodiversity can cover the long‐neglected earthworm diversity remains unknown. To

Shoshonitic enclaves in the high Sr/Y Nyemo pluton, southern Tibet: Implications for Oligocene magma mixing and the onset of extension of the southern Lhasa terrane [PDF]

, 2020
Post-collisional potassic and high Sr/Y magmatism in the Lhasa terrane provides critical constraints on the timing and mechanism of subduction of Indian lithosphere and its role in the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau.

Ultra‐High Strength and Environmentally Stable Fluorinated Solid‐State Ion‐Conductive Elastomers with Folding‐Paper‐Structured Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Wave Energy Harvesting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
In this work, a polyurethane‐based fluorinated SICEs with excellent mechanical properties (7.35 MPa and 61.4 MJ m−3), conductivity (4.2 × 10−4 S cm−1), and harsh environmental resistance were prepared by a “three birds with one stone” strategy that combines multiple interactions with fluorine effects. The paper‐folding TENG is capable of harvesting not

A synergistic approach to enhanced oil recovery by combining in-situ surfactant production and wettability alteration in carbonate reservoirs

Scientific Reports
A strong alkali was hydrolyzed in the presence of acidic oil to produce an anionic surfactant to prevent the decline in surfactant value. Also, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was considered the surfactant, and sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate were the

Recycling Ni‐Rich NCM Cathode Materials From Spent Li‐Ion Batteries as Efficient Electrocatalyst for Urea Oxidation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Mounting battery waste demands sustainable solutions. We recycle spent NCM cathodes into high‐performance urea oxidation catalysts, enabling sustainable hydrogen production and simultaneous urea waste treatment. The burgeoning electric vehicle industry has intensified the demand for high‐energy Ni‐Co‐Mn (NCM) cathodes, yet their end‐of‐life management ...

Nanocubes and Cuboctahedra: Entropic Stabilization Versus Thermal Segregation in Rock Salt‐ and Spinel‐Type Multinary Oxides from Spray‐Flame Synthesis

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Spray‐flame synthesis enables highly flexible and scalable production of multinary and high‐entropy oxide nanoparticles due to high synthesis temperatures with subsequent quenching. Temperature‐dependent in situ diffraction of as‐synthesized materials clearly reveals entropy stabilization in rock salt lattices, while spinels—featuring tetrahedral and ...

Metal‐Free Halogen‐Engineered Carbon Nanotubes for Highly Efficient Oxygen Reduction Reaction

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
In work employs density functional theory screening to guide the halogen engineering of metal‐free, Cl‐mediated carbon nanotubes for a highly efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Cl‐mediation optimally tunes the electronic structure and binding energies of oxygen intermediates, delivering an ORR activity rivaling that of commercial Pt/C, high 4e−
