Nanofiber PVA‐Based Membranes Incorporating Functionalized Spanish Broom Derivatives for Sustainable Water Purification

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 6, November 2026.
This study investigates Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) as a renewable source for electrospun composite membranes in sustainable water purification. MCC and biochar were functionalized with eco‐friendly precursors and nanomaterials (i.e., HNT, β‐CDs) to develop hybrid PVA nanofiber composites.

Ultra-strong bamboo macrofibers via selective delignification and microwave drying for lightweight structural composites

Industrial Crops and Products
Natural fibers offer a sustainable alternative to synthetic reinforcements, but their mechanical properties often lag behind those of synthetic fibers. Herein, we report a novel strategy combining selective delignification and microwave-assisted drying ...

Electrospun Biomass‐Derived Flexible Anodes With Hierarchical Structure via Cobalt MOF Integration for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 6, November 2026.
Hierarchically porous, N‐doped freestanding anode enables reversible Na+ insertion/desorption and Na–Co alloying, delivering fast kinetics, structural robustness, and durable sodium‐storage performance even under bending/folding. To develop a green, sustainable, and high‐performance anode for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs), flexible biomass‐based carbon ...

Sustainable and Seismically Resilient Confined Masonry: Global Progress in Research and Design Practice

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Biochar‐Driven Microbial Shifts Enhance Feed Digestibility and Mitigate Methane Emissions in Hybrid Pennisetum Silage

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2026.
This study investigated the effects of cellulase, propionate, and cow dung biochar as additives on the silage quality of hybrid Pennisetum. The results indicated that the incorporation of biochar not only improved fermentation quality but also reduced methane production and enhanced in vitro dry matter digestibility.

Desert Plant Inspired Hierarchical Nanofibrous Membranes for Integrated Solar Desalination and Heavy Metal Remediation

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 84, 19 October 2026.
An Alhagi maurorum inspired hierarchical composite membrane (NFCu) was developed by integrating heavy metal remediation and solar‐driven interfacial evaporation in a single platform. Beyond the photothermal effect, a localized photocatalytic process is realized on the CuO surface, deepening the mechanistic understanding of light–matter–water ...
