Plastic recycling: A panacea or environmental pollution problem

Nisha Singh, Tony R. ‎Walker · 1 Aug 2024

Increasing plastic waste is a critical global challenge to ecological and human health requiring focused solutions to reduce omnipresent plastic pollution in the environment. While recycling has been touted as one solution to counter plastic waste and resource utilization, it has been largely ineffective in offsetting the impact of rising global plastic production of more…

Probabilistic machine learning for battery health diagnostics and prognostics—review and perspectives

Adam Thelen, Xun Huan, Noah H. Paulson et al. · 3 Jun 2024

Abstract Diagnosing lithium-ion battery health and predicting future degradation is essential for driving design improvements in the laboratory and ensuring safe and reliable operation over a product’s expected lifetime. However, accurate battery health diagnostics and prognostics is challenging due to the unavoidable influence of cell-to-cell manufacturing variability and time-varying operating circumstances experienced in the field.…

Microwave catalytic pyrolysis of biomass: a review focusing on absorbents and catalysts

Linyao Ke, Nan Zhou, Qiuhao Wu et al. · 22 Jul 2024

Abstract The quest for low-carbon alternatives to fossil fuels and the carbon emissions associated with the natural degradation of biomass have accelerated the development of biomass processing technologies. Microwave catalytic pyrolysis is emerging as a technology for efficient conversion of biomass into energy, fuels and chemicals. However, due to the inherent poor dielectric properties and…

Eco-friendly biopolymers and composites: a sustainable development of adsorbents for the removal of pollutants from wastewater

K. Mohanrasu, Arun Chandra Manivannan, Haryni Jayaradhika Raguraman Rengarajan et al. · 17 May 2025

Growing wastewater treatment demands drive reliance on polymeric materials to facilitate the process, and traditional fossil-based polymers face limitations, prompting the exploration of sustainable alternatives. Biopolymers derived from renewable sources (chitosan, keratin, and cellulose) offer advantages like biodegradability and enhanced adsorption. This review provides an overview of the potential biopolymer-based composites for removing various pollutants…

“Reactive Mineral Sink” drives soil organic matter dynamics and stabilization

Songlin Wu, Kurt O. Konhauser, Baodong Chen et al. · 27 Nov 2023

Abstract Reactive primary and secondary minerals play a critical role in the transformation and stabilization of organic matter (OM) in soil, a critical aspect that has been largely overlooked in existing literature. In this regard, we propose a new model known as the “reactive mineral sink” (RMS) to illustrate three primary mechanisms through which these…
