Ionically Counter‐Programmable Phase‐Separation of Superstable Star‐Biopolyamide Coacervates for Electrothermally‐Responsive Pseudosolid Smart Windows

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We develop bio‐based, star‐branched polyamides from itaconic acid and cadaverine with tunable lower critical solution temperature (LCST) transitions for dynamic solar modulation. Specific metal ion coordination with pyrrolidone moieties drives precise phase transitions via calcium‐induced salting‐in and sodium‐induced salting‐out mechanisms. Formulated

Electric Double Layer Engineering Induces O‐Down Interfacial Water Reorientation for Efficient and Long‐Term Seawater Electrolysis

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
The additive EDTMPS inhibits hydroxides deposition by chelating with Ca2+/Mg2+. It also disrupts the hydrogen bond network of interfacial water and expands the thickness of electric double layer, promoting more free water to flip into adsorbable O‐down configuration.

Water-energy-food nexus perspective: Pathway for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to country action in India

APN Science Bulletin, 2020
Water, energy and food securities lie at the heart of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Since these securities are interconnected, the business-as-usual approach (sectoral approach) cannot achieve them and need to apply the ...

How Video‐Based Information Affects Farmers' Willingness to Pay for Drone Services

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Professional service for digital technology like agricultural drones lowers transaction costs and scope thresholds for smallholders. Meanwhile, perceptual adoption barriers remain underexplored. We conduct a two‐stage choice experiment with a randomized video‐based information treatment among 384 Chinese crop farmers to measure its effect on ...
