Circular Potential of Lithium‐Ion Battery Recycling Slags: Quantifying Microstructure and Elemental Distribution for a Holistic Valorization

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A lithium‐bearing slag is investigated with the goal of holistic valorization. The present β‐eucryptite (LiAlSiO4) exhibits a high lithium content and low levels of impurities. The spinel contains most of the chromium and vanadium, representing additional valorization opportunities.

Consequences of BSE disease outbreaks in the Canadian beef industry [PDF]

open access: yes
This study examines farm to wholesale prices spreads to measure the impact of the BSE disease outbreak on the Canadian beef industry. The study uses structure break tests developed by Gregory and Hansen (1996) and Hansen (1992) examine possible breaks ...

Balancing Effective Mass and Carrier Mobility via Ga‐Induced Multi‐Band Valley Engineering in GeTe Thermoelectrics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ga doping drives simultaneous convergence of three valence bands and formation of a midgap band in Ge0.94Bi0.06Te, enhancing the Seebeck coefficient without sacrificing carrier mobility. Lattice vibration disorder and multi‐scale defect engineering suppress lattice thermal conductivity, delivering a ZT exceeding 2.1 and enabling efficient lead‐free ...

Controlled Moderate Interfacial Reaction Facilitates High‐Strength Low‐Resistivity Barrier Layer for Half‐Heusler Thermoelectrics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The barrier layer is designed comprehensively by thermal expansion coefficient and interfacial reaction energy to yield a controlled interfacial reaction. Ultimately, the Co25Fe50Ni25/half‐Heusler joint simultaneously achieves low contact resistivity and high bonding strength.

Theoretical optical and x-ray spectra of liquid and solid H_2O

open access: yes, 2011
Theoretical optical and x-ray spectra of model structures of water and ice are calculated using a many-body perturbation theory, Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) approach implemented in the valence- and core-excitation codes AI2NBSE and OCEAN.

Thin Reinforced Sulfonated Poly(phenylene sulfone) Membranes for Durable Water Electrolysis: Suppressed Swelling and Enhanced Stability Over 2000 Hours

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrocarbon membranes have the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency of water electrolyzers. However, their application is often limited by insufficient stability resulting from excessive swelling. This work presents a strategy to achieve efficient, safe and stable operation of a 24 µm thin hydrocarbon membrane by combining a modified ...

Consumers' Short- and Long-Term Response to "Mad Cow": Beef Consumption and Willingness-to-Pay for Organic Beef in Italy [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper aims at assessing: 1) consumers' habits concerning beef consumption and their responses to the BSE both immediately and at a longer term; 2) consumers' attitudes and willingness to pay for organic beef, an obvious alternative to regular beef ...

Harnessing Digital Microstructure for Simulation‐Guided Optimization of Permanent Magnets

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
An experimental‐to‐computational workflow is presented that transforms experimental 3D focused ion beam‐scanning electron microscopy data into a simulation‐ready digital microstructure for multiphase functional materials. Using heavy‐rare‐earth‐free Nd–Fe–B magnets as a model system, the approach quantifies grain connectivity across complex secondary ...

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of
