Policies to Encourage Recycling and "Design for Environment": What to Do When Markets are Missing [PDF]

open access: yes
Several studies have shown the efficiency of both a Pigovian tax on waste disposal and a deposit-refund instrument, that is a combined output tax and recycling subsidy.

Reversible Phase Transitions Enable Cyclic Isothermal CO2 Capture in Redox‐Activated Perovskite‐Structured Sorbents

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Perovskite‐structured SrMnO3 can cyclically and reversibly capture and release CO2 via redox‐enabled phase transitions at constant temperature. The efficacy of this novel redox‐activated CO2 sorbent is demonstrated via sorption‐enhanced steam methane reforming.

A Sustainable Biotechnology Approach for Mineral Separation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Silver‑binding peptides are first identified through phage‐display screening, and then engineered into multifunctional and responsive peptides or proteins. These tailored biomolecules can selectively capture and aggregate silver particles or ions from complex mixtures, enabling rapid and efficient silver separation and recovery.

Defect‐Free Block Copolymer‐Based Distributed Bragg Reflector for Optimized Light Harvesting in BiVO4 Photoanodes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A solution‐processed distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) film, integrated via block copolymer (BCP) self‐assembly, enhances photon recycling in BiVO4 photoanodes for improved photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance. By tuning lamellar structures using lactic acid and cross‐linking density, the DBR film optimally shifts working wavelengths, boosting ...
