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

Boosting Bifacial Output Power of Ag‐CIGS Solar Cells by Optimizing ITO Back‐Contact Thickness for Tandem Applications

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Optimized ITO back contact with pre‐Ga supply growth and Ag incorporation suppresses GaOx formation and interface recombination in bifacial CIGS solar cells. The devices achieve 17.25% front and 5.77% rear efficiency, delivering record bifacial power density up to 32.26 mW cm−2 in 4T perovskite/CIGS tandem architectures under enhanced albedo ...

Impact of soil solarization on the ciliate community structure of a greenhouse soil

, 2015
Soil solarization is an ecologically friendly method of controlling various plant pathogens and pests, but also affects non-pathogenic members of the soil biota. Here, we studied the impact of soil solarization on the community structure of soil ciliates

Green and sustainable synthesis of magnetite from copper slag via citrate complexation for methylene blue dye removal from water

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study proposes a novel, green, and sustainable method for synthesizing magnetic iron oxides from metallurgical copper slag (CS), leveraging its iron content as a valuable resource. Iron was extracted via acid leaching using edible citric acid (ECA), forming a citrate–iron complex (CSL), which was subsequently thermally decomposed at 300°C

Does ESG Uncertainty Matter for Renewable and Nonrenewable Energy Consumption? Policy Implications in the Context of SDG 7 and SDG 13

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the discourse on environmental sustainability and energy security, energy management is an inevitable policy issue that requires research‐based solutions. Based on this, the present study contributes by examining the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) uncertainty on energy consumption patterns in the USA from 2002 to 2024.

Modeling heat generation due to soil amendment during soil solarization

, 2013
Soil solarization is a non-chemical treatment of agricultural soil for the control of soil-borne pathogens and pests. To be most effective, the solarization process is undertaken when ambient temperatures are highest, often causing growers to lose the ...
