Road taxes, road user charges and earmarking [PDF]

open access: yes
The UK Road Fund was set up in 1921 and financed by earmarked taxes, but was unsuccessful as a form of road finance and abandoned in 1937. The paper examines why earmarking failed and what problems arise for replacing road taxes by hypothecated road ...

Decoding Synergistic Pathways in Bimetallic MOFs for Advanced Oxidation Processes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents a unified framework linking metal pairing and framework design with electronic structure, redox cycling, oxidant activation, reactive‐species generation, and catalytic performance across photocatalytic and oxidant‐based BMOF‐AOPs. The resulting design principles guide the development of hydrolytically stable and efficient BMOFs for

Spatial‐Compatibility‐Assisted Molecular Intercalation in MXenes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates a solvent–free NH4F–mediated route for simultaneous Al removal and molecular intercalation in MXenes. Intercalants are selected by comparing their crystallographic X, Y, and Z dimensions with the MXene interlayer spacing, establishing a spatial‐compatibility criterion that rationalizes guest–host matching and enables predictive ...

How “Green” is Your Functional Material? Assessing Environmental Impacts of Multi‐Step Synthetic Protocols in Material Sciences at Various Technology Levels

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Environmental Synthesis Radar (ESR) evaluates the environmental impact of (early‐stage) multi‐step chemical syntheses, providing a holistic view by using 18 midpoint impact categories. Unlike conventional life‐cycle assessment (LCA) approaches, ESR reveals three complementary metrics: overall impact Vtotal, environmental hotspots VEF, and critical ...

Light‐Programmed Localized Supersaturation Enables Ambient Aqueous Synthesis of Highly Crystalline Metal–Organic Frameworks

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
In the proposed model, a photoinduced nanoreactor uses Cu2O self‐photooxidation to generate localized supersaturation. A metastable supersaturation state first forms a shell, creating a spatially confined environment that restricts reactant exchange; continued Cu release then drives the local environment toward a labile regime that favors predominantly

Soft and Transient Bioelectronics Enabled by Polymer‐Free Ti3C2Tx MXene Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present Ti3C2Tx MXene hydrogel (MXgel) bioelectronics, a soft, flexible, and fully transient platform for high‐fidelity neural recording and stimulation. MXgel bioelectronics exhibit exceptional electrical conductivities, low electrochemical impedances, and high charge injection capacities.

Charge‐Reversed Lipid Nanoparticles Enable Encapsulation of Pt2L4 Nanocages for In vivo Anti‐Cancer Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Charge‐reversed lipid nanoparticles (revLNPs) enable efficient encapsulation and delivery of cationic Pt2L4 nanocages. Encapsulation preserves potent anticancer activity while improving circulation, reducing vascular leakage, and promoting favorable biodistribution in vivo.
