Sustainable Utilization and Fire Protection of Wood‐Based Composites in Buildings: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Directions

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing use of wood and wood‐based composites in construction reflects a global shift toward renewable materials that support sustainable development objectives, including carbon reduction and responsible resource use. While wood offers substantial environmental benefits compared to conventional materials such as concrete and steel, its

Water‐Energy Nexus: Benchmarking the Energy Efficiency of Drinking Water Treatment Plants Accounting for Heterogeneity

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The assessment of energy efficiency in water facilities is receiving increasing attention as a key strategy in the transition toward an energy‐neutral urban water cycle. This study evaluates the energy efficiency of 146 drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) in Chile by applying a latent class stochastic frontier analysis (LCSFA) to account ...

Acid Resistant and Highly Silver Selective Membranes Based on Charged Nanoporous 2D‐Materials

Small, EarlyView.
In this work, new membranes based on charged & nanoporous nanosheets with unprecedented selectivity to silver versus a wide range of other metallic ions are reported. Furthermore, a demonstrated and lead specific intralamellar lead pathway is demonstrated. A potential applicability for ubiquitous silver in WEEE is validated.

The Control–Entropy Paradox: Modeling the Thermodynamic Limits of Environmental Governance

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental governance often seeks to reduce disorder, yet the energetic and material costs of control are overlooked. This article presents the Control–Entropy Paradox, developing a formal systems model and a conceptual extension of governance theory.

Modelling Future Scenarios for End‐of‐Life Battery Management of Electric Vehicles in São Paulo

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the escalating challenge of managing end‐of‐life (EOL) electric vehicle (EV) batteries within a circular economy framework, focusing on the city of São Paulo. Using system dynamics modelling, the research projects a fleet of approximately 11 million light‐duty EVs in São Paulo by 2045, generating an annual influx of 1.34 ...
