Strong, Recyclable, Bio‐Based Vitrimers by Tailored Rigid‐Flexible Structures for Advanced Carbon Fiber‐Reinforced Polymers

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A sustainable high‐performance epoxy vitrimer (F9T1) was developed via a rigid‐flexible integrated design using rigid and flexible bio‐based epoxy monomers. F9T1 features superior mechanical property, char‐forming ability, fire safety, chemical degradability and recyclability due to its rigid‐flexible network with abundant dynamic disulfide and ester ...

Solar‐Powered Electrokinetic Filtration using Hierarchical Porous Membranes for the Off‐Grid Removal of Ultrafine Contaminants

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A solar‐powered nanoelectrokinetic filtration system enables high‐flux removal of ultrafine contaminants without relying on nanoscale pores or pressure‐driven membranes, offering a sustainable solution for the off‐grid water purification. Abstract The removal of ultrafine suspended solids from water remains a critical challenge due to the tradeoffs ...

Iron‐Based Catalysts for the Removal of Microplastics

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Microplastics (MPs) are some of the newer environmental dangers and are still in need of optimal treatment. Iron‐based compounds can be used as catalysts for the removal of MPs due to the iron abundance, sustainability, and catalytic versatility. This review presents the current status of iron‐based materials for the photocatalytic, Fenton process, and

MXene‐Enhanced Electromembrane Systems for Advanced Water Applications: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
MXenes, synthesized via etching, intercalation, and delamination, exhibit hydrophilicity, conductivity, tunability, and strength, enabling roles as membranes, electrodes, and hybrids in electrical‐driven membrane technologies. These systems leverage adsorption, catalysis, separation, and self‐cleaning but face challenges in stability, scalability ...
