High‐Efficiency Precipitate Recycling Strategy Paves the Way for Efficient Sb2S3 Solar Cells Fabricated by CBD Method

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel PR strategy was proposed to improve CBD‐derived Sb2S3 film quality. It synergistically optimized the CBO of CdS/Sb2S3 interface and the back‐contact barrier, while the VS2 donor defect was converted into SSb2 acceptor defect with lower concentration.

Sputtering Mechanism of an Unsintered Organic–Inorganic Sputtering Target for Perovskite Solar Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
An unsintered MAPbI3 sputtering target fabricated via a mechanochemical route enables large‐area vacuum deposition of perovskite absorber layers, while revealing an ion–photon coupled decomposition mechanism that governs target erosion and film composition under RF plasma exposure.

Environmental Identification of Novel Enzymes for Polyurethane and Polyamide Degradation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Heteroatom‐containing plastics such as polyurethanes and nylons are produced at scale yet remain largely unrecycled. Biocatalysts offer a promising route to depolymerization under mild conditions. Here, we present a screening platform for the discovery of novel polyurethane‐ and nylon‐degrading enzymes from environmental samples and demonstrate ...

Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Isosteric Engineering of Enzymes: Overcoming Activity–Stability Trade‐Offs by Site‐Selective CH → N Substitutions

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Coupling biosynthetic noncanonical amino acid production with genetic code expansion enables site‐specific incorporation of azatryptophans into PET‐degrading enzymes (PETases). By isosteric single‐atom editing of a conserved tryptophan, AzaPETases break the activity–stability trade‐off, delivering higher catalytic efficiency at elevated temperature and

Accelerating Biosensor Discovery: A Computationally‐Driven Pipeline for Microplastics Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A computationally guided pipeline unites molecular simulation, synthetic biology, electrochemical engineering, and machine learning to accelerate biosensor discovery. A Bacillus anthracis carbohydrate‐binding module is used to develop a high‐performance micro‐ and nanoplastics sensor with greatly reduced error and variability.
