Selective Modification of the Product Profile of Biocatalytic Hydrolyzed PET via Product‐Specific Medium Engineering

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The product profile of enzymatically hydrolyzed PET can be modified by medium engineering and thereby adapted to a desired product. TPA, MHET or BHET can be forced as the predominant product using a basic pH (blue), 25 % ethylene glycol (EG) and IsPETasewt (green) or ≥25 % EG and LCCICCG (pink), respectively.

High atmospheric pressure rescues plant growth under humidity stress: A model for climate‐resilient deep underground agriculture

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
High atmospheric pressure (120 kPa) in deep underground counteracts humidity‐induced physiological stress in plants, stabilizing water balance and enhancing antioxidative defenses. This synergy boosts biomass despite elevated humidity, demonstrating sustainable deep underground agriculture potential under climate uncertainty.

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 ...

Uniaxial compressive strength prediction and ratio parameter optimization of titanium tailings composite backfill materials using intelligent hybrid models

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on the 90 datasets, ERT and four optimization algorithms were used to build four hybrid models to predict the UCS of the backfill body. The SMA‐ERT model was the most effective model, and it can reliably guide the design of the backfill ratio parameters. Abstract This study analyzed the feasibility of using titanium (Ti) tailings as a backfilling

Toward Safer and Sustainable Lithium Metal Batteries: Fluorine‐Free Solid Polymer Electrolytes

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
An analysis to assess the impact of fluorine in polymer electrolyte‐based lithium metal batteries has been conducted. It has been demonstrated that fluorine‐free LiTIM salt delivers a electrochemical performance similar to that of its fluorinated analogue salts, given the complete lithium dissociation in coordination with PEO and the restricted anion ...
