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 ...

Modular Interfacial Engineering via Nanofiber‐Reinforced Hydrogels for Stabilizing Zn Anodes Toward High‐Performance Zn‐Based Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Inspired by reinforced concrete casting, a modular interfacial engineering strategy was developed by integrating a rigid polyacrylonitrile fiber skeleton with an ion‐regulating hydrogel matrix. This composite interface homogenizes Zn2+ flux, accelerates ion transport, and stabilizes Zn deposition while suppressing hydrogen evolution and corrosion ...
