Security Shaping Sustainability: The Difference Between Securitized and Community‐Based Conservation in Benin

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As global conservation efforts intensify, balancing environmental protection with social sustainability has become increasingly urgent. This study employs a comparative case study approach to examine two natural resource management interventions in northern Benin: one led by African Parks in an insecure zone, and another by TMG Research in a ...

Enhancing Zn Deposition Reversibility on MXene Current Collectors by Forming ZnF2‐Containing Solid‐Electrolyte Interphase for Anode‐Free Zinc Metal Batteries

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This study investigates the influence of electrolyte additives on Zn plating behavior on intercalative‐type 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene current collectors in anode‐free AZMBs. The co‐addition of Li‐salt and PC generates a ZnF2‐containing hybrid SEI layer that promotes homogeneous Zn deposition, achieving an average Coulombic efficiency of 96.8% for Zn plating ...

Surface Engineering of Ti3C2Tx MXenes via Silanol Functionalization for Improved Electrochemical Performance

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This study explores the covalent functionalization of Ti3C2Tx using 5,5′‐bis(triisopropoxysilyl)‐2,2′‐bipyridine in different solvents, revealing that only m‐xylene enables effective covalent bonding, ensuring structural stability and preventing layer swelling.

Scale‐Specific Viscoelastic Characterization of Hydrogels: Integrated AFM and Finite Element Modeling

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
An integrated multiscale approach reveals distinct viscoelastic responses of hydrogels across length scales. Combining AFM‐based nanoindentation, finite element modeling, and a novel analytical framework, this study enables accurate, scale‐specific mechanical characterization to guide the design of advanced biomaterials. Abstract Viscoelastic hydrogels

Lewis Acid‐Base Effects on Molecular Structure and Charge Density in Solid Polymer Electrolytes for Solid‐State Batteries

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Solid polymer electrolytes incorporating LiFSI, LiTFSI, and their binary mixture are investigated to reveal how salt polarity and Lewis basicity regulate dehydrofluorination, crystallinity, and charge density in PVDF‐HFP. The binary‐salt formulation achieves a balanced improvement in ionic conductivity, mechanical robustness, and electrochemical ...

A novel sulfur‐containing photoinitiator based on benzophenone derivatives for rapid photopolymerization

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
This study develops a series of unimolecular photoinitiators, BP‐S1‐5, by incorporating hydrogen‐donating groups into a benzophenone framework. This method reduces the reliance on co‐initiators, and enables BP‐S1‐5 with efficient photoinitiation and excellent molding capability.

Early use of the reinforced concrete in the architecture of the Historicism in Austria–Hungary

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The study examines the early incorporation of reinforced concrete in the architecture of Historicism in Austria–Hungary. Spanning the late 19th to early 20th centuries, the research illuminates the period's stylistic pluralism and the transformative impact of reinforced concrete.
