Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

Modulating Electronic Structure of Atomic Iron Catalyst by Metallic Cobalt Cooperation for Boosting Oxygen Reduction/Evolution Reactions in Rechargeable and Flexible Zinc‐Air Battery

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Porous Co,Fe@NCNF‐900 catalyst has been innovatively synthesized as enhanced bifunctional catalysts by modulating the electronic structure of the atomic Fe catalyst through metallic Co cooperation. DFT analysis indicates that metallic Co as an electron donor can induce electron redistribution of the atomic Fe catalyst, thereby reducing the rate ...
