Mechanistic Control of C─H Bond Activation and C─C Coupling in Light‐Driven Methane Conversion to C2+ Products over Multifunctional Photocatalysts

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Methane photocatalytic activation under mild conditions remains a formidable challenge in the synthesis of solar fuels. In this review, we emphasize the growing importance of multifunctional materials and hybrid systems within a unified mechanistic framework that integrates selective C─H bond activation, formation and control of intermediates, C─C ...

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

A Tert‐Alkyl Terephthalate Derivative as a Universal Degradable Unit for Condensation Polymers

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A sterically bulky dicarboxylic acid core bearing a tertiary alkyl ester enables photocatalytic C─O bond cleavage via generation of a stabilized tertiary alkyl radical. Incorporated into polyarylate, polyurethane, and polyester, this universal trigger facilitates efficient degradation under identical conditions (up to 99% within 2–4 h). Remarkably, the

On‐Demand Deconstructable Thermosets Through Cleavable Comonomer and Thermolatent Base Synergy

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Thermosets, valued for their chemical and mechanical properties, resist recycling due to their cross‐linked structure. Weak bonds via comonomers enable degradability, but diffusion limits effectiveness. We incorporate thermolatent bases before polymerization (thermal or 3D‐VAT printing).

From resource circularity policies to the zero-waste strategy

Agathón, 2021
Over the last twenty years, waste management policies were aimed to mitigate environmental impacts; but in most cases the results of these policies had been the downcycling. The upcycling and the transition to circularity are good solutions to remedy the

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

Spatially Coupled Cl2 Confinement and Activation at Curved Ni Single‐Atom Sites for Highly Reversible Li–Cl2 Batteries

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A robust cathode featuring curvature‐engineered Ni single‐atoms anchored within hierarchical pores effectively confines Cl2 and accelerates Cl0/Cl−1 redox kinetics. This synergistic architecture unlocks the potential of Li‐Cl2 secondary batteries with an unprecedented 1×106 mAh g−1 cumulative capacity, all‐climate resilience (–40°C to + 70°C), and 7.65
