Innovative Approach to Recycle Lithium‐Ion Battery Electrolytes via Sequential Chemical Processes

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A chemical separation method is developed to recycle and purify nonaqueous electrolytes from spent lithium‐ion batteries. The new process consists of a sequence of precipitation in tandem with each distillation and solvent‐assisted vacuum extraction to obtain high‐quality electrolyte precursors.

Form Factor–Free Magneto‐Triboelectric Generator for Standalone Power Line IoT Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
These limitations are addressed by employing iron, one of the most abundant materials on Earth, and the flexible ferroelectric polymer P(VDF‐TrFE). The composite film of P(VDF‐TrFE) and iron exhibits mechanical deformation under magnetic fields, combined with excellent flexibility, cost‐effective fabrication, and straightforward processing.

Stringency and dissimilarity of Maximum Residue Levels affect bilateral agri‐food trade stability

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Food standards are rising in both prevalence and stringency. They protect consumers and may enhance demand stability but also pose compliance challenges to producers, with ambiguous effects on the stability of trade relationships. We analyze the impact of importers' Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) along with bilateral MRL dissimilarity between ...

The Role and Impact of Rooftop Photovoltaics in the Norwegian Energy System under Different Energy Transition Pathways

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact and cost‐competitiveness of rooftop solar power in a highly hydropower‐driven northern energy system toward 2050. The role of rooftop photovoltaics (PV) is assessed under different energy transition pathways and through a sensitivity analysis aiming to disclose important barriers to PV investments in the energy system.
