High‐Voltage Stability of LiCoO2 Cathode Materials Composited With Vanadium‐Based Glass Coatings
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Vanadium‐based glasses show fluidity and good wettability toward other materials at low temperatures. The controlled precipitation of nanocrystals in vanadium‐based glasses enhances the material's mechanical properties and electrical conductivity. The VPFL coatings bond to the LiCoO2 interface via chemical bonds.

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NBS) for climate adaptation encompass a range of approaches that work with nature to increase resilience to climate change while providing ecological, economic and social co‐benefits. These solutions have frequently been put forward for application in urban contexts, such as the creation of urban forests, but can ...

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Deforestation and its social impacts are an enduring challenge in agrarian frontiers, especially in the tropics. Fueled by global demand for commodities, this process is mediated by ideas, concepts, meanings, and policies that uphold socioenvironmental degradation. A key and understudied—arena in which this mediation occurs is the sub‐national

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Land is fundamental to livelihoods and ecosystem health but faces mounting pressure from human activities, climate change, and competing development demands. Science–policy interfaces (SPIs)—platforms that connect experts and policymakers—are vital for co‐producing knowledge to inform coherent, sustainable land‐use governance.

Sidelining Mitigation: Climate Delay Discourses Among Municipal Legislators in Southeastern Brazil
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how municipal legislators frame climate mitigation and how these framings shift responsibility, narrow the perceived scope of municipal authority, and reduce the urgency or feasibility of local action. We analyzed 31 interviews with city councilors serving on Permanent Environmental Committees across municipalities in ...

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This study aims to conduct a performance comparison of irradiation and temperature on different commercially available PV modules like PPVM, MPVM, LPVM, and BPVM. Here, the TPVM is not considered in the analysis due to its toxic nature. This study has considered the LPVM because researchers have not focused on it due to the higher area requirement for ...

Design of a Hydroelectronic Solar‐Tracking System for Solar Panels
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.A prototype of a passive solar‐tracking system utilizing buoyant force based on water level was developed, and its MATLAB/Simulink model was implemented. This study is expected to encourage researchers to design solar‐tracking mechanisms using metals with different thermal expansion coefficients, air, oil, and other fluids. ABSTRACT This study presents
