Interfacial Salt Redistribution Enables Rapid Atmospheric Water Harvesting in a Biomimetic Multi‐Layer Hygroscopic Membrane

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic multi‐layer hygroscopic membrane redistributes salt toward an air‐accessible nanofiber interface, enabling rapid interfacial deliquescence while a brush‐like hydrogel promotes efficient liquid transport and storage. By decoupling vapor capture from bulk water storage, the membrane achieves fast sorption kinetics and enables rapid‐cycling ...

Informality and the Development and Demolition of Urban Villages in the Chinese Peri-urban Area [PDF]

, 2013
The fate of Chinese urban villages (chengzhongcun) has recently attracted both research and policy attention. Two important unaddressed questions are: what are the sources of informality in otherwise orderly Chinese cities; and, will village ...

Driving forces and prediction of urban open spaces morphology: The case of Shanghai, China using geodetector and CA-Markov model

Ecological Informatics
Urban open spaces offer both environmental and social benefits. However, comprehensive studies that integrate both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the factors driving change in these spaces and their long-term predictions are lacking.

Toward Sustainable Separation and Recovery of Critical Metals From Discarded Industrial Perovskite Solar Modules

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An architecture‐guided recycling process enables selective metal recovery from end‐of‐life perovskite solar modules by exploiting interfacial accessibility and calcination‐induced phase transformation. The process achieves >99.8% Pb removal, >99.7% In recovery, and >96.1% Cu recovery, while selectively retaining Sn in leaching residue.

Space-time patterns of urban sprawl, a 1D cellular automata and microeconomic approach [PDF]

We present a theoretical model of residential growth that emphasizes the path-dependent nature of urban sprawl patterns. The model is founded on the monocentric urban economic model and uses a cellular automata (CA) approach to introduce endogenous ...

Methanol‐Regulated Interfacial Polymerization of Fluorinated Polyamide Membranes Enables Rapid Liquid Hydrocarbon Separation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Through methanol‐regulated interfacial polymerization (IP), bulky trifluoromethyl (‐CF3) groups are successfully integrated into polyamide networks. Unlike conventional membranes that suffer from severe solvent‐induced swelling, the fluorinated network sterically resists structural expansion.
