Organic-inorganic hybrid PSCs have reached an astounding power conversion efficiency of >26%, but unfortunately exhibit poor long-term stability, which severely impeded their commercialization. Inorganic perovskite exhibits excellent thermal stability compared to hybrid perovskite. Among inorganic perovskite, cesium lead triiodide (CsPbI3) is an ideal material for constructing tandem solar cells. However, the spontaneous transition of the black phase to a non-perovskite phase hinders their reliable application. These phase transitions are largely correlated with the unexpected strain introduced during fabrication and operation. Strain engineering is an ideal method to address this issue, which directly acts on the crystal lattice and has a straight impact on phase stability. In this review, we outline the characterization and impacts of strain in inorganic perovskite and recent breakthroughs in strain engineering. In addition, we point out the challenges and perspectives for future strain engineering.","PeriodicalId":149,"journal":{"name":"ChemSusChem","volume":" ","pages":"e202500345"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143750650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a green strategy for extracting lignin with enhanced photothermal performance from wood using molten salt hydrate (MSH) and citric acid under mild conditions. Systematic investigations revealed that elevated reaction temperatures (170°C) promoted lignin depolymerization (Mw=1206) and increased phenolic hydroxyl content (3.5 mmol/g), enhancing π-π stacking interactions to achieve a photothermal conversion efficiency of 36.31%. Structural analyses through 2D-HSQC NMR confirmed β-O-4 bond cleavage and demethylation, while fluorescence quenching validated reduced radiative losses. Leveraging this lignin, a gradient evaporator was fabricated by integrating polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-modified melamine foam (MF) with a hydrophobic lignin-polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) photothermal layer. The evaporator exhibited hierarchical wettability, enabling gravity-guided water transport (2.8 kg m-2 h-1) under 0.1 W/cm²) and environmental heat harvesting. It demonstrated robust performance in hypersaline water (1.85 kg m-2 h-1 for 10.5 wt% brine) and dye removal (>99.98% rejection). Additionally, lignin-coated thermoelectric devices generated stable power (27.69 W/m²) via solar-thermal conversion. This work provides an eco-friendly pathway for lignin valorization and scalable solar evaporation systems, addressing energy-water challenges through biomass resource utilization.","PeriodicalId":149,"journal":{"name":"ChemSusChem","volume":" ","pages":"e202500538"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143750643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, it facilitates the reaction under milder conditions and enhances its efficiency. The desert, rough road and bicycle symbolize the high reaction temperatures and low efficiency associated with the α-MoC catalyst. Conversely, the lush plant, highway and vehicle represent the mild conditions and high efficiency achieved with the Pd1/α-MoC catalyst. Additionally, the models of the catalysts indicate that the Pd single atom effectively activates hydrogen molecules and selectively targets the C=O structure of furfural, enabling the reaction to proceed rapidly through a direct hydrogenation pathway, rather than via the MPV route.

This issue is particularly pressing for polyoxymethylene (POM), a widely used engineering thermoplastic known for its exceptional mechanical properties and durability, which degrades slowly and releases harmful formaldehyde (HCHO). In this study, we present a straightforward method to convert POM waste into formic acid (FA) using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the oxidant. While H2O2 is recognized as a selective and mild oxidation agent, its potential for upcycling plastics into valuable chemicals has been largely uncharted. Our approach utilizes microporous aluminosilicate zeolite H-Beta, known for its Brønsted acidity, to effectively catalyze both the depolymerization of POM into HCHO and its subsequent oxidation to FA. A significant aspect of this method is the incorporation of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol, which enhances depolymerization through strong hydrogen bonding interactions. This catalytic system efficiently transforms a variety of post-consumer POM waste into FA while also facilitating the Baeyer-Villiger-type oxidation of various carbonyl compounds, achieving high yields in both processes. Overall, these findings advance the conversion of plastic waste into value-added chemicals via H2O2-mediated reactions, enhancing sustainable waste management and supporting circular economy principles.","PeriodicalId":149,"journal":{"name":"ChemSusChem","volume":" ","pages":"e202500179"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143750657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite growing interest, the development of scale-up strategies for redox-ED remains limited, delaying its industrial implementation. This study proposes a scale-up strategy by examining the impact of stacking electrodes and channels on the desalination performance of the system, aiming to enable economically viable desalination. The results show that electrode and channel stacking (up to three stacks) significantly enhances desalination performance, resulting in a 6.8-fold increase in the salt removal rate, 30% improvement in productivity. These enhancements can be attributed to synergistic effects of electrode and channel stacking, which improve the redox reaction rate by increasing the surface area and enhancing the system capacity by increasing the volumetric flow rate. Techno-economic analysis underscored the economic viability of the scale-up strategy proposed in this study, which showed reductions of 18% in capital costs and 32% in operating costs compared with multiple unit cell systems. Overall, incorporating multiple stacks of electrodes and channels offers an effective strategy for scaling up redox-ED systems with high economic viability, thereby providing a pathway for their industrial utilization.","PeriodicalId":149,"journal":{"name":"ChemSusChem","volume":" ","pages":"e202500452"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143750647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
