Chlorine‐Functionalized Silane‐Modified Copper Electrocatalyst for Enhanced CO2 Reduction to Multi‐Carbon Products

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A chlorine‐functionalized silane modifier (CPTMS) is introduced to cooperatively regulate CO2 reduction to C2+ products on Cu‐based catalysts. Dual‐functional interface sequentially enhances CO2 activation, intermediates protonation and C─C coupling, delivering a 5‐fold increase in C2+ faradaic efficiency (FE, 75% vs.

Land‐use affects pollinator‐specific resource availability and pollinator foraging behaviour

Ecology and Evolution
Land‐use management is a key factor causing pollinator declines in agricultural grasslands. This decline can not only be directly driven by land‐use (e.g., habitat loss) but also be indirectly mediated through a reduction in floral resource abundance and

The Plant‐to‐Plant Circular Strategy: Coupling Photodegradation and Phytoremediation With Plant‐Based Nanomaterials for Plastic Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐based nanomaterials derived from alfalfa serve as dual‐function catalysts, coupling photodegradation and phytoremediation to degrade polyethylene under UV‐A light and in soil. The nanomaterials work synergistically with alfalfa and soil microbes, achieving efficient plastic breakdown without trophic transfer.

Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...

Rainfall Shapes the Diversity of Soil Nitrogen‐Fixing Microorganisms Worldwide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the distinctive pattern and mechanism of rainfall driving the global biodiversity and biogeography of soil potential N‐fixing microorganisms, and constructs the theoretical framework. The results guide us on how to maintain ecosystem productivity under future climate changes (e.g., whether a specific region needs more N fertilizers ...

Attribution of extreme precipitation in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during May 2016

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
May 2016 was the third wettest May on record since 1961 over central eastern China based on station observations, with total monthly rainfall 40% more than the climatological mean for 1961–2013. Accompanying disasters such as waterlogging, landslides and

Tuning Interfacial Water Dynamics via Gd‐Doped Cu2O for High‐Rate Selective CO2‐to‐Ethanol Conversion

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A Gd‐doped Cu2O electrocatalyst disrupts rigid interfacial hydrogen‐bonding networks, creating a free‐water‐rich microenvironment. This accelerates proton‐coupled electron transfer, enabling selective high‐rate CO2‐to‐ethanol conversion with 48.5% Faradaic efficiency at industrially relevant current densities.

Integrated Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis and Electrolysis for CO2 Capture and Conversion

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates an integrated BMEED platform that couples CO2 capture and conversion within a single modular system. By combining BMED with CO2E, high‐purity CO is produced while avoiding intermediate stripping, excessive capital and O&M costs, and external gas feeds.
