Phase formation and purity were confirmed using XRD and EDS. Optical absorption spectra revealed that the addition of ZrO₂ significantly affected optical absorption and band gap energy. The band gap energy increased from 3.01 to 3.24 eV with addition of ZrO₂ in ZnO. FTIR spectra confirmed the formation of ZnO and ZnO@ZrO₂. SEM micrographs showed a significant change in the morphology of the ZrO₂ addition in ZnO. BET analysis showed surface area for sample P3 ([email protected]₂) was 28.9 m²/g while for sample P1 (ZnO) was 22.5 m²/g. In addition, the photocatalytic performance of ZnO and ZnO@ZrO₂ for the decomposition of methylene blue (MB) dye was studied for all samples exposed to solar light. The effect of different contents of ZrO₂ in ZnO@ZrO₂ in terms of degradation efficiency and degradation time are described in detail.

These principles outline methodologies that prioritize immediate but risky chemical objectives over broader ecological considerations. Through the presentation of case studies, this discussion vividly illustrates the non-sustainability inherent in red chemistry practices. While green chemistry advocates for sustainable and environmentally responsible practices, red chemistry prioritizes short-term gains without adequate consideration for long-term environmental impacts. This contrast highlights the significance of green chemistry principles in guiding the chemical industry towards a more sustainable future.

This study presents a novel approach of solar technology interventions for sustainable buildings namely rooftop photovoltaic systems, use of carbon-free sustainable building materials, and passive solar heating systems. A methodology for achieving net zero energy and zero carbon emission buildings is described. This strategy is being implemented to develop an educational institution as a sustainable campus in a Western Himalayan cold region of India. The results show an energy yield of 1561 kWh/kWp/year from a proposed photovoltaic power system for a typical building at this location producing 10,928 kWh avoiding 7.7 t-CO₂ emissions which means the system will produce enough electricity in 2.6 years to offset the amount of carbon emissions during manufacturing of PV modules. The modeling and simulation analysis using the developed mathematical model shows that the space heating system provides 37–56 % of total energy needs with a payback period of 3.5–5.8 years depending on the type of six different construction materials used.

Spent lithium-ion batteries will cause serious environmental pollution if not processed properly, especially the electrolyte. Nowadays, the recycling of lithium-ion batteries is mainly on the high-value electrode materials containing non-ferrous metals such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel. However, due to its volatility, toxicity and flammability, the recycling of electrolyte is less studied. The spent electrolyte reacts with water to form fluoride, which may spread into the air and soil. This will cause serious environmental pollution and endanger human health. And the electrolyte contains a certain concentration of lithium salts and organic solvents, which are worth recovering. They have economic value and can be reused. From the perspective of environmental protection and resource recycling, it is urgent to recycle and utilize electrolyte in a high value way.
