African Twist of Circular Economy: Insights, Policies and Recommendations

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the circular economy (CE) has gained traction, this paper argues that mainstream CE approaches risk being misaligned in the African context. Drawing on a mixed‐methods synthesis of empirical studies, policy documents and cross‐country examples, the study shows that Africa's CE transition is fragmented and uneven, leaving the continent at

B, N‐Co Doped Porous Carbon Nanotubes Supported Cu Single Atoms and B‐Doped Cu Nanoparticles for High‐Performance Electrocatalytic NO3RR and Zn‐Nitrate Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
The ToC image shows a porous B, N‐doped carbon nanotube decorated with B‐doped Cu nanoparticles for nitrate‐to‐ammonia conversion. The unique structure enhances charge transport, promotes the adsorption and activation of key intermediates, alters the rate‐determining step, suppresses hydrogen evolution, and improves NH3 yield and Faradaic efficiency ...
