High Fatigue‐Resistant Photoswitches Based on iridium(III)‐DTE Systems

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Coordination to iridium(III) enhances fatigue resistance over multiple photoswitching cycles in diarylethenes. This metal coordination modulates photoresponse relative to the free ligands under identical irradiation conditions, opening new avenues for practical applications.'' ABSTRACT A series of four differently substituted nonsymmetrical ...

Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study develops a lifecycle carbon accounting framework for tunnel infrastructures, covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling. Applied to a subsea tunnel case, the framework reveals the carbon emission distribution among four typical tunnel types and highlights potential carbon offset methods for low‐carbon tunnel ...

Transition Metal Compounds as Thermochromic Materials: Classification, Properties, Limitations, and Applications

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines how different transition metal compounds—such as binary and multinary metal oxides, halides, sulfides, and salts—exhibit thermochromism based on the d‐electron configurations of their transition metal cations. It focuses on three main mechanisms of thermochromism: phase transition, charge transfer, and bandgap change.
