Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Regional Sustainability Assessment Under Risk and Uncertainty: A Water–Energy–Food Based Framework

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regional sustainability assessment requires integrated structures that can examine the interactions between Water–Energy–Food (WEF) systems, socio‐economic risk conditions, and performance outcomes under uncertainty. This study proposes a multidimensional framework that combines a suitability index, composite sustainability indicators ...

Acid Resistant and Highly Silver Selective Membranes Based on Charged Nanoporous 2D‐Materials

Small, EarlyView.
In this work, new membranes based on charged & nanoporous nanosheets with unprecedented selectivity to silver versus a wide range of other metallic ions are reported. Furthermore, a demonstrated and lead specific intralamellar lead pathway is demonstrated. A potential applicability for ubiquitous silver in WEEE is validated.

Self‐Assembled Conjugated Hollow Fibers for Spongy Monoliths Toward Solar‐Driven Desalination and Hydrovoltaic Electricity Generation

Small, EarlyView.
A self‐assembled conjugated hollow fiber monolith enables simultaneous solar‐driven desalination and hydrovoltaic electricity generation. Metal‐free polymerization produces cross‐linked hollow fibers that entangle into a porous monolith, followed by gradient polypyrrole coating for efficient light absorption and directional water transport.

Sulfonated, Disulfide‐Bridged Polymer Networks for Atmospheric Water Harvesting

Small, EarlyView.
Atmospheric water harvesting is a promising solution to the water crisis. Here, disulfide‐containing hyper‐crosslinked‐style polymers are prepared by combined Friedel–Crafts alkylation and thiol self‐condensation. Exhibiting exceptional uptake capacities, the polymers demonstrate dynamic bonding behavior.

Biomass Polymer‐Stabilized Hygroscopic Salts in Cellulose Foams for Durable Atmospheric Water Harvesting

Small Methods, EarlyView.
We fabricate a LiCl+CMC@cellulose composite foam via a scalable impregnation process, enabling excellent AWH water capture‐release cycling stability. The CMC acts as a “molecular glue,” effectively mitigating salt aggregation and leakage. The composite foam delivers a high water uptake of 16.04 ± 0.82 g g−1 with >80% retention over 10 cycles, while a ...
