Life Cycle Assessment of Magnesium‐Impregnated Biochar Production and its Application for Nutrient Removal and Soil Improvement in Rice Cultivation

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the environmental trade‐offs of different rice husk management strategies using a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. It compares biochar production for water treatment and soil improvement with direct incineration for energy generation.

Realization of Aqueous Processed LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 through the pH Optimization of Polyacrylate Binders

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Partly neutralized polyacrylate binders enable aqueous processing of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) cathodes by buffering the slurry pH within the aluminum current collector's passivation region. Optimal performance is achieved at binder pH 5, matching polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF)‐based systems in LNMO‖Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) full cells, while higher pH leads to ...

Application of a Dynamic Semitransparent Agrivoltaic Panel for Controlling Sunlight Allocation to Solar Cells and Crops

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Effects of dynamic agrivoltaic semitransparency controls on cucumber seedling growth are assessed for this study using a micro‐cell photovoltaic panel. Seedling growth with 9:30–14:30 agrivoltaic shading is comparable to that without shading. The dynamic shading regulates the electrical energy and crop production allocation.

Fluorescent Chitosan Hydrogels Based on Biomass‐Derived Carbon Dots for Toxic Aromatic Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Carbon dots made from food waste via a microwave–ultrasound method show strong, pH‐stable fluorescence. Thermal pretreatment enhances their optical properties. Incorporated into chitosan hydrogels, these dots form reusable sensors for detecting aromatic pollutants in water.

Enhanced Brain‐Heart Connectivity as a Precursor of Reduced State Anxiety after Therapeutic Virtual Reality Immersion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that enhanced brain‐to‐heart coupling is a precursor of anxiety reduction following a virtual reality‐based non‐pharmacological intervention. Driven by midline beta rhythms, this effect suggests the involvement of central‐autonomic interactions.
