Dynamic Electrophoretic Assembly Coupled With Water‐Splitting‐Induced pH Control Enables Precision Ion Sieving Membranes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A green, external‐catalyst‐free route grows defect‐free covalent organic framework membranes directly on ion‐exchange supports using an alternating electric field and in situ‐generated acid. Through a self‐regulating, self‐healing mechanism, the membranes achieve near‐complete, ultra‐fast separation of monovalent ions such as Li+, Na+, and K+, offering

Dump or Recycle? The Effect of Social Crowding on Consumer Recycling Behavior

Sustainability
This study reveals that a primarily ignored but crucial environmental situation—social crowding—can affect consumers’ sustainable behavior. The present research proposes a causal relationship between social crowding and consumer recycling behavior. Drawing on resource depletion theory and self-affirmation theory, three experiments were conducted across

Reduce, Reuse, and Organize: Recycling and Participation in the Environmental Movement

Journal of Public and Professional Sociology, 2017
This paper examines the relationship between the frequency of participation in recycling programs and participation in the environmental movement. Although many studies exist on the factors affecting recycling behavior, few examine its relationship with ...

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

Advanced 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 ...

The Effect of Introducing a Curbside Recycling System on the Recycling Behavior of Households

, 2022
This research investigates whether the implementation of a curbside recycling system has an effect on the behavior of households with regard to the recycling of packaging material in Sweden. Previous research presented in the literature points out that the decision to engage in recycling behavior, rather than free-riding on the contributions of others,
