However, many photocatalysts are prone to photocorrosion which limits their long-term stability and thus their long-term functionality needed for commercial applications. This study provides an in-depth insight into the photocorrosion-induced changes altering the chemical and photophysical properties of platinized CdSe-seeded CdS nanorods (CdSe/CdS/Pt) during the photocatalytic hydrogen production from aqueous ethanol solutions at very high pH values. Using a combination of mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, electron microscopy, with in situ absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, it is shown that the ligand shell consisting of 11-MUA does not directly contribute to the generated hydrogen, although it is gradually degraded by present OH<sup>•</sup> radicals. Instead, the degradation of the ligand shell first leads to higher reactivity over time and finally to aggregation of the photocatalyst once a sweet spot is crossed. The inorganic CdSe/CdS/Pt particles are then reacting with OH<sup>•</sup> radicals to break apart into different pieces to transform into polymeric sulphur and Cd<sup>2+</sup>. This shows that the presence of OH<sup>•</sup> radicals can be very beneficial as an effective hole scavenger but can also lead to degradation of the whole colloidal nanostructure at longer reaction times.</p>","PeriodicalId":7294,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Sustainable Systems","volume":"9 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/adsu.202400782","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143446657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) benefit these systems by providing additional design flexibility, tuning light transmission for plant growth while generating electricity. Herein, design guidelines for LSCs in agrivoltaic greenhouses are determined given the two competing priorities of light utilization, crop yield and energy generation. Using a comprehensive model, the impact of LSC design choices on the greenhouse environment, energy generation, crop yield, and economic value in 48 locations across the United States is evaluated. It is shown that the solar cell coverage ratio and the greenhouse's heating demands determine the energy offset provided by the LSC. For improving crop yield, luminophore selection should maximize transmitted red light. The sensitivity of the economic value to crop yield, thus dictating luminophore selection for optimizing plant growth, is demonstrated. LSC greenhouses are as profitable as conventional greenhouses generally for states below 40 °N. Future improvements to LSC manufacturing may allow previously unprofitable LSC greenhouses to become economically viable in northern states.

This review explores how phthalates function as mixed micropollutants, adding complexity to their evaluation and control in environmental systems. It also focuses on remediation strategies using novel biotechnological approaches, such as enzymatic degradation, genetic engineering, microbial remediation, and nanotechnology-based approaches. Enzymatic degradation utilizes specific enzymes for the breakdown of phthalates, thereby, transforming them into less toxic metabolites. Novel genetic engineering techniques have opened possibilities for improving the breakdown of phthalates by microorganisms, offering potential solutions for more efficient remediation. Nanotechnology-based approaches showcase the effectiveness of nanomaterials in absorbing and breaking down phthalates on a molecular scale.

Herein, a simple and up-scalable extrusion process is proposed, involving commercial maleated ethylene propylene rubber (EPRgMA), maleated polypropylene (PPgMA), and a suitable crosslinker. It is shown that a crosslinker enabling disulfide exchange reactions can provide local and long-range rearrangements required for extrusion, yielding a robust crosslinked blend (BlendSS) with strength of 15 MPa and an impressive elongation of 1000%. Moreover, the presence of the disulfide crosslinker provided the required fast exchanges for three repetitive recycling cycles by extrusion with close to 80% retention of initial properties. In comparison, the use of a crosslinker without the capability to establish reversible reactions (BlendCC), yielded crosslinked blends of marginal compatibility, strength of 4 MPa and only 40% elongation. The absence of reversible reactions restricted chain rearrangements and consecutive recycling is only possible by compression molding.
