Ocean wave energy is a promising clean and renewable source to mitigate the global crisis environmental issues. Here, guided-liquid-based isotropic triboelectric–electromagnetic-hybrid nanogenerator (iTEHG) developed for efficient sustainable harvesting of omnidirectional ocean energy. The fully-enclosed iTEHG based on triboelectric (TENG) electromagnetic generator (EMG), with structure design unique concentric circular electrode pair built tilted satellite-dish-inspired plate gravity-guided...
Reuse and recycling of retired electric vehicle (EV) batteries offer a sustainable waste management approach but face decision-making challenges. Based on the process-based life cycle assessment method, we present strategy to optimize pathways battery treatments economically environmentally. The is applied various reuse scenarios with capacity configurations, including energy storage systems, communication base stations, low-speed vehicles. Hydrometallurgical, pyrometallurgical, direct...
Lithium has been widely recognized as an essential metal for next-generation clean technologies. With the aim of identifying opportunities improving lithium resource efficiency and security, this study establishes a long-term trade-linked material flow analysis framework to analyze throughout technological life cycle across national boundaries during 1994–2015 period. The results indicate that with broader purposes identified, global production consumption experienced rapid growth over past...
The majority of transport electrification studies, examining the demand and sustainability critical metals, have focused on light-duty vehicles. Heavy-duty vehicles often been excluded from research scope due to their smaller vehicle stock slower pace electrification. This study fills this gap by evaluating lithium resource impacts heavy-duty segment at global level. Our results show that a mass top would substantially increase impose further strain supply. significant impact is attributed...
The control of chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity is a central theme in organic synthesis. capability to obtain the full set stereoisomers molecule would significantly enhance efficiency for synthesis natural product analogues creation chiral compound libraries drug discovery. Despite tremendous progress achieved field asymmetric past decades, precise both relative absolute configurations catalyst-controlled reactions that create multiple stereocenters remains significant...
Chiral α- and β-aminoboronic acids exhibit unique biological activities. General methods for the synthesis of these bioisosteres amino are highly desirable. We report a facile preparation compounds through rhodium-catalyzed regiodivergent enantioselective hydroboration enamides. Catalytic asymmetric esters with high regio-, diastereo-, enantioselectivities were achieved effective catalyst control tuning substrate geometry. Starting from easily available materials, this strategy provides...
With the accelerated pace of energy transition, competition in lithium-ion battery (LIB) supply chain is intensifying across a wide scope countries. In order to understand potential risk derived from competitors, this study quantifies global intensities 15 categories LIB-related commodities, which has not been well characterized by previous criticality analysis studies. On basis collected data and designed treatment techniques, "competition index" developed for purpose. Here, we show that...
The paper proposes a physics-informed model to predict battery lifetime trajectories by computing thermodynamic and kinetic parameters, saving costly data that has not been established for sustainable manufacturing, reuse, recycling.
Lithium is a critical material for the energy transition, but its mining causes significant environmental impacts that will intensify due to surging global demand. Here, we conduct site-specific impact assessment of lithium on scale, focusing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water use, and land use. We then track production international trade flows all lithium-containing commodities assess how are distributed across supply chains. Results indicate intensities battery-grade Li2CO3 from...
