Smart Bioinspired Material‐Based Actuators: Current Challenges and Prospects

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
This work gathers, in a review style, an extensive and comprehensive literature overview on the development of autonomous actuators based on synthetic materials, bringing together valuable knowledge from several studies. Furthermore, the article identifies the fundamental principles of actuation mechanisms and defines key parameters to address the size

Cycloazulenylene

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A strained macrocycle consisting solely of azulene subunits, named [6]cycloparaazulenylene ([6]CPA), is presented. The macrocycle exhibits a notably narrow HOMO–LUMO gap for a pristine azulene species, strain‐induced red‐shifted absorption, and an unusual tubular packing motif elucidated via single‐crystal XRD.

Applying a Systems Thinking Approach to Circular Economy Transitions: Insights From the Use of a Sociotechnical Systems Approach Within the UK Hospitality Sector

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite more than 20 years of research into sustainable tourism, the environmental impact of the UK hospitality sector remains high. A growing body of research into the concept of a circular economy (CE) demonstrates that transitioning to this way of working has significant benefits both for the environment and business outcomes.

Practising Digital Product Passport for Circular Supply Chain: Ecosystem Orchestration Perspective

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Digital product passports (DPP) are emerging as an important tool to support industries in realising circular supply chain (CSC) practices. However, small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) remain constrained by various challenges in implementing DPP.

Beyond Activity: The Unified Framework of the Sabatier Principle to Guide Rational Design of Durable and Active Electrocatalysts

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
In this review, a unified framework of the Sabatier principle is applied to a diverse range of catalytic and electrocatalytic systems for advanced clean energy technologies, with a particular focus on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This approach will guide the design and development of highly active and stable catalysts for fuel cells ...

Nickel‐Catalyzed Reductive Cross‐Coupling of Xanthate Esters With Aryl and Alkenyl Iodides

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A nickel‐catalyzed reductive cross‐coupling of xanthate esters and aryl/alkenyl iodides is reported without the need for separate activators for the xanthate esters. The reaction utilizes a relatively low catalyst loading. Diarylmethanes with a good functional group variety can thus be synthesized indirectly from the corresponding benzylic alcohols ...

Sustainable Germanium Recovery From Germanium Dioxide via Halogen‐Free Chemical Vapor Transport

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Recovery of the critical element Ge from GeO2 and SiO2/GeO2 mixtures was investigated based on an endothermic chemical vapor transport via GeO, formed with natural gas or a hydrogen(10%)‑argon(90%) mixture and water vapor. (This picture was partly created with AI, engine: Adobe Firefly).

Sustainable, practical, electronically enabled deployment and upscaling of the Antibiotic Review Kit (SPEED-UP ARK)

open access: yes
Background Antibiotics are life-saving essential medicines used to treat bacterial infections, but overuse can lead to antibiotic resistance, making them less effective. In hospitals, it is often difficult to quickly determine whether an illness is caused by bacteria, viruses, or other factors, as ...

Enabling Cross‐Coupling Reactivity of α‐Pentafluorosulfanyl Compounds with a Thermally Stable Organozinc α‐SF5 Reagent

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This work describes the first example of a thermally stable α‐SF5 organometallic reagent, which allows for extensive downstream functionalization by allylation and acylation reactions under copper catalysis, as well as palladium‐catalyzed Negishi‐type cross‐coupling conditions up to 96% yield. In silico analysis shines initial light on the requirements

Stabilization Strategies for Carbon Based Perovskite Solar Cells Under Light, Heat, and Humidity

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Carbon‐based MA1−x(AVA)xPbI3/CsPbBr3 QD heterostructures fabricated under ambient conditions exhibit < 5% loss under ISOS‐D‐3 and reversible photo‐induced degradation, revealing the dual role of QDs in defect passivation and dynamic interfacial stabilization.
