ABSTRACT Recycling rates in South African townships remain critically low, undermining progress towards sustainable development and the transition to a circular economy. This study applies the theory of interpersonal behaviour (TIP) to examine how recycling habits mediate the relationship between key drivers—past behaviour, environmental concern ...

AgCl nanocubes are synthesized within minutes through a rapid and scalable sonochemical method. Combined with outstanding catalytic performance, the lower production cost demonstrates the overall cost‐effectiveness of AgCl nanocubes for CO2‐to‐CO electroreduction. These results highlight economic viability as a key consideration in catalyst development,

Bio‐Inspired Mesoporous Solar Evaporator Enabled by Upcycled PET
Upcycled PET waste is converted into graphite‐containing porous foam for compound‐eye‐inspired solar evaporation. The resulting three‐dimensional evaporator combines a moldable porous framework with a hemispherical multi‐surface architecture, enabling angle‐insensitive solar exposure, capillary water transport, and efficient freshwater production under

Universal Confinement Length Governs Radical Depolymerization Kinetics in Nanoconfined Polymers
Analysis of PMMA depolymerization kinetics identifies a critical threshold under extreme nanoconfinement where segmental mobility saturation prevents further increases in depolymerization temperature. ABSTRACT Thermal depolymerization is typically studied in bulk, yet many systems involve polymers confined within nanoscale geometries. Understanding how
