Divergent responses of aggregate breakdown by slaking to nitrogen forms in solution for contrasting soil types

Geoderma
Aggregate stability strongly affects many soil processes and is critical to maintain sustainable agriculture. Aggregate breakdown is controlled by the interaction between soil intrinsic properties and solution characteristics.

Defect‐Engineered Microwave‐Responsive Ni@C Composites From Waste PET for Catalytic Plastic Upcycling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A circular upcycling strategy transforms waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) bottles into microwave‐responsive Ni@C catalyst featuring lattice‐distorted nickel cores and defective carbon shells. These strain‐rich heterointerfaces enhance dielectric loss and promote localized microwave hotspots, accelerating peroxymonosulfate activation and polymer‐chain

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Effect of soil aggregate size and dicyandiamide on N₂O emissions and ammonia oxidizer abundance in a grazed pasture soil

, 2014
Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a potent greenhouse gas, which is mainly produced from agricultural soils. Ammonia oxidation is the rate-determining step in N₂O production, and the process is carried out by ammonia oxidizers, bacteria and archaea.

Soil aggregate breakdown in a field experiment with different rainfall intensities and initial soil water contents

, 2017
The breakdown of soil aggregates under the impact of rainfall is an important process in water erosion of agricultural soil. It determines the size characteristics of the disintegrated fragments and thus their availability for size-selective sediment ...
