ABSTRACT Hard carbon (HC) is currently the predominant anode material for sodium‐ion batteries; however, its practical application is still limited by insufficient initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and plateau capacity. Meanwhile, conventional HC production relies on energy‐intensive carbonization processes with considerable carbon emissions. Here, an

Microwave‐driven Ru@α‐Fe2O3 selectively upgrades real‐world post‐consumer mixed polyolefin waste into light olefins with high gas yields and olefin selectivity at markedly reduced temperatures compared with conventional thermal pyrolysis. Strong tolerance of additives and feed heterogeneity highlights an energy‐efficient and scalable route for circular

Potential Analysis of On‐Site Oxygen and Ozone Production for Wastewater Treatment Plants
The potential of a power‐to‐gas process focusing on the oxygen stream to cover an upcoming demand of ozone at German wastewater treatment plants is analyzed. Economic and ecological parameters are compared to the conventional production of hydrogen and oxygen. Powered by on‐site produced wind energy, the process is deemed beneficial.

Prospective LCA of E‐Methanol Along the Transformation of Steel Industry
The environmental effects of change in steel production route on e‐methanol production are analyzed as they shift from blast furnace route to direct reduction route. Specific hydrogen demand reduces, as do the avoided CO2 emissions. E‐methanol's overall carbon footprint stays in a narrow range of −1 to −1.1 kg‐CO2‐eq./kg‐methanol.
