This review focuses on the core role of IL electrolyte design in enabling highly reversible aluminum metal anodes. First, the fundamental requirements and working mechanisms of ILs are systematically elucidated. Furthermore, recent optimization strategies are critically summarized and discussed in terms of four aspects: (1) cation-anion pair engineering to regulate active aluminum species, tailor physicochemical properties, and reduce reliance on costly imidazolium-based components, (2) functional additives to enhance ion transport and regulate solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation, (3) deep eutectic solvent formulations as potentially lower-cost and more sustainable alternatives, and (4) gel and quasi-solid-state architecture construction to improve safety and mechanical strength. Finally, the performance-sustainability trade-offs of current IL electrolyte systems are discussed, and design guidelines are provided for developing safer and more sustainable electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical windows, and robust interfacial compatibility. These advancements are expected to facilitate the realization of highly reversible aluminum metal anodes and high-energy-density AIBs, thereby propelling the development of next-generation aluminum-based energy storage technologies.","PeriodicalId":78,"journal":{"name":"Green Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":"15424-15451"},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13613487/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149056608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By combining physicochemical analysis, dissipative particle dynamics simulations, microscopy, drug-loading experiments, and acoustic characterization, we determined how the architecture of the hydrophobic moiety, PEG chain length, and hydrophilic-lipophilic balance shape MB yield, shell composition, morphology, and function. The hydrophobic tail structure primarily influenced MB yield, while increasing PEG chain length shifted the morphology toward asymmetric particles. Surfactant incorporation into PBCA MB shells depended on surfactant hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, and dissipative particle dynamics simulations indicated preferential surfactant enrichment at the polymer-water interface. Brij O20 and Ecosurf SA-9 increased drug loading by 6.2- and 4.8-fold relative to conventional Triton X-100-generated MB, while acoustic performance could be tuned toward either greater stability or stronger non-linear, disruption-prone behavior.

However, a mismatch exists between the intermittent renewable electricity supply and the continuous operation of the downstream Fischer-Tropsch plants. To address this, we developed a two-stage linear optimization model to optimize the operation of a 540 MW electrolysis plant, alongside the sizing and operation of the connected renewable generation, battery storage, and syngas storage. Applying this model to a Dutch case study, we explored grid integration with an electrolyzer across future scenarios with global warming potentials (GWPs) ranging between 35 and 370 g CO2-eq per kWh. For generation, the preferred renewable mix is onshore wind combined with PV. When grid mix electricity consumption is restricted, the electrolyzer has an optimal capacity factor of 78% but requires a battery of comparable capacity to the electrolyzer and multi-kilotonne syngas storage to ensure continuous output. Crucially, we found that producing RFNBO-compliant syngas for SAF is impossible with the 2025 Dutch grid mix. Even at a reduced grid intensity of 205 g CO2-eq per kWh, RFNBO compliance limits grid consumption to just 1% of grid mix electricity per hour. This results in a levelized cost of 2350 EUR2019 per tonne syngas. Unrestricted grid electricity consumption becomes feasible when emissions drop below 36 g CO2-eq per kWh, reducing production costs by 43% (1344 EUR2019 per tonne syngas). Consequently, we demonstrate that grid composition intensity is a bottleneck for the short-term economic viability and regulatory compliance of CO2E-based SAF in the Netherlands.","PeriodicalId":78,"journal":{"name":"Green Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":"14278-14296"},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13487491/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148785688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the materials remain fully stable under neutral conditions, the acetal linkages enable complete depolymerization under acidic environments, producing a homogeneous solution that can be recondensed into new thermosets with properties indistinguishable from the original, thus achieving true closed-loop recycling. The resins also exhibit outstanding compatibility with glass and carbon fibers, enabling the fabrication of high-performance, recyclable composites from which pristine fibers can be recovered.

Crucially, the most active of these catalysts is capable of selectively deconstructing a mixed feed of these polymers in succession with selectivity governed by careful modulation of reaction temperature. This sequential approach allows for the products of each reaction to be isolated in high yields without the need for complex separations.

However, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is commonly coupled with the CO2RR, is a sluggish reaction that requires a high overpotential. To overcome this, we used the ethylene glycol oxidation reaction (EGOR) as an alternative anodic oxidation reaction, using ethylene glycol (EG) derived from waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). This strategy lowers the overall cell voltage and enables simultaneous carbon utilization and plastic waste valorization. The EGOR∥CO2RR system was operated with a Ni0.33Co0.67(OH)2/NF anode and an Ag-BTC/CP cathode. The as-prepared anode required less energy (135 mV) for the EGOR at 100 mA cm−2 than for the OER. In the full cell, the EGOR at the anode achieved a faradaic efficiency (F.E.) of approximately 60% for formate production, while the CO2RR at the cathode reduced CO2 to CO with a F.E. exceeding 95% over a wide range of potentials. Furthermore, to elucidate the commercialization potential of the EGOR∥CO2RR, we developed a rigorous process simulation with techno-economic and environmental assessments incorporating PET hydrolysis and downstream separation at an industrial scale. Three process configurations were designed and evaluated, revealing that hydrolysis and separation dominate the overall process efficiency rather than electrochemical performance alone.

This study pioneers an efficient and green approach for directly converting spent LiFePO4 (S-LFP) cathodes into high-performance sodium-ion battery (SIB) cathodes. By employing sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4)-assisted roasting under an oxygen atmosphere, lithium is selectively extracted in the form of water-soluble complex phosphates (Li2NaPO4 and LiNa5(PO4)2) via in situ solid-phase reactions, while iron is stabilized as insoluble NaFeP2O7, thereby eliminating the use of strong acids/alkalis and the generation of high-salinity wastewater. Water leaching achieved exceptional Li/Fe separation efficiency, with 99.31% lithium recovery and only 0.24% iron leaching. The recovered lithium phosphate (Li3PO4) is used to regenerate high-performance LFP cathodes. Simultaneously, the iron-rich residue is directly converted into a carbon-coated sodium iron pyrophosphate cathode (Na2FeP2O7@C, denoted as NFPO) through carbothermal reduction. The NFPO cathode exhibits outstanding SIB performance, including an ultrahigh rate capability (46.6 mAh g−1 at 30 C) and exceptional cycling stability (98.6% capacity retention after 1500 cycles at 5 C).
