Toward Nanostructured Conducting Polymers: Synthesis, Synergies, Applications, and Sustainability
Nanostructured conducting polymers (CPs) have emerged as promising materials due to their facile synthesis and remarkable mechanical, optical, and electrochemical properties, alongside superior environmental stability. This review provides an in‐depth analysis of prominent CPs, including polyaniline, polycarbazole, polypyrrole, polythiophene, and poly ...

Oxychlorine Species on Mars: A Review
Abstract Oxychlorine species (mainly perchlorate and chlorate) have been identified at multiple locations on the surface of Mars by both orbiter and in situ rovers. They have also been found in martian meteorites. Cl‐isotopes in meteoritic minerals suggest that an oxychlorine cycle has been operating on the martian surface for the last ∼4 billion years.
