Single‐Atom Photocatalyst as Floatable Artificial Leaf for Upcycling Oceanic Plastic Waste

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
To resolve the catastrophic disaster of oceanic plastic pollution, the novel Ru single atom loaded ZnIn2S4 photocatalysts, in the forms of powder or floatable artificial leaf, were prepared for direct conversion of raw polypropylene plastic into valuable chemicals. The optimized catalyst exhibits exceptional performance, with a total formic/acetic acid

Converting environmental wastes into valuable resources [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
This concept employs a viable energy saving method that uses a solvent to separate oil from particle matter; it can be used in metal forming industries to deoil sludges, oxides, and particle matter that is presently committed to landfill.

Ga‐on‐In Substitution with Zn Vacancies in Zn3In2S6 Induces Electron–Hole Asymmetry and In─O Bond Weakening for Coupled Two‐Electron Oxygen Reduction and H2O2 Stabilization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ga‐on‐In substitution coupled with Zn vacancies in Zn3In2S6 creates a dopantdefect synergy that weakens InO bonding and induces electronhole asymmetry. The resulting spatial charge separation directs the two‐electron oxygen reduction pathway, enabling efficient artificial photosynthesis of H2O2 with a production rate of 187.8 µmol g−1 min−1 ...

The Potential of Deconstruction in Buffalo, New York [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Building deconstruction is not a novel idea but represents an ancient practice reinvented for our modern era. Deconstruction is an environmentally friendly (yet fiscally remunerative) alternative to traditional building demolition.

Decoding High‐voltage LiCoO2: From Degradation to Stabilization Toward Durable Li‐ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review systematically addresses the degradation mechanisms and stabilization strategies for high‐voltage LiCoO2 cathodes. Key enhancement approaches including foreign‐ion doping, surface modifications, structural design, and electrolyte optimization are critically assessed.

On the Recycle of Waste Plastics Materials

open access: yesKobunshi, 1974
都市生活から排出される一般廃棄物の処理問題が深刻化するにつれて, その中に混入する廃プラスチックの回収,処理,有効利用に対する要望が高まってきた.現在プラスチック業界としても回収の促進,有効利用の技術開発が進められているが,これらの対策だけで清掃責任をもつ地方自治体の要求に答えることができるであろうか.今後の廃プラスチックの問題を考えるにあたっては資源有限性の観点と,プラスチック製品のライフサイクルに基づく廃棄率の時間おくれなどの要因を考えに入れなければならない.そのためには生産から廃棄に至るまでのトータルなプロセスを考えに入れた上で,発想を新たにして問題に取り組む必要がある.今後の廃プラスチックの回収システムをデザインする上で工夫を要するいくつかの点を指摘する.

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

The Cost of Reducing Municipal Solid Waste [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper explores public policies for reduction of municipal solid waste. We parameterize a simple model of waste disposal using supply and demand elasticities from the economics literature and 1990 prices and quantities of recyclable and recycled ...
