Scalable Polyelectrolyte Complex‐Based Sorbent With Hourly Sorption−Desorption Cycles for Multicyclic Atmospheric Water Harvesting in Arid Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A polyelectrolyte complex‐based sorbent is produced by scalable, environmentally benign aqueous phase inversion. Its porous, LiCl‐ and GO‐integrated architecture enables hourly adsorption−desorption cycles at low relative humidity (RH < 30%). A large‐scale prototype achieves multicyclic, solar‐driven atmospheric water harvesting of 1.37 L kg−1 day−1 ...

Contrasting geochemical signatures on land from the Middle and Late Permian extinction events [PDF]

, 2014
The end of the Palaeozoic is marked by two mass‐extinction events during the Middle Permian (Capitanian) and the Late Permian (Changhsingian). Given similarities between the two events in geochemical signatures, such as large magnitude negative δ 13 C ...

Ge and Si isotope behavior during intense tropical weathering and ecosystem cycling [PDF]

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2020
Abstract Chemical weathering of volcanic rocks in warm and humid climates contributes disproportionately to global solute fluxes. Geochemical signatures of solutes and solids formed during this process can help quantify and reconstruct weathering intensity in the past. Here, we measured silicon (Si) and germanium (

Enhanced weathering during glacial periods and its dynamic response to climate and sea-level changes inferred from the northern South China Sea sediments

Quaternary Science Advances
Secondary weathering of exposed continental shelf sediment at low-latitudes may play a significant role in atmospheric CO2 consumption during glacial periods, which is negative feedback for climate stability. However, more lines of evidences are required
