Nature‐Positive Materials Engineering: Carbon Electrodes from Satoyama Biomass

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Nature‐positive materials engineering can link satoyama forest stewardship with the design of carbon electrodes for batteries, supercapacitors, and electrocatalysis. By turning underused firewood and charcoal resources into functional carbons, this approach reduces mining footprints while supporting biodiversity, landscape resilience, and regional ...

Development of Glazing Systems with Silica Aerogel

Energy Procedia, 2015
AbstractThe implementation of innovative materials for energy saving is among the most compelling topics in the building sector worldwide. In this regard, silica aerogels have received an increasing interest in the last years thanks to their exceptionally low thermal conductivity, generally around 0.01-0.02W/(m·K).
