Recent advancements in data quality and availability from regulatory, industry reporting, and wider literature sources have provided the opportunity to improve and refine the underlying scientific robustness of the framework. Consequently, the first significant methodological iteration is described. The environmental impact pillar is greatly strengthened through inclusion of a waste impact metric and refined greenhouse gas and feedstock sourcing metric approaches. The addition of a biodegradability endpoint also builds upon the tool's initial persistence assessment. Exemplified through ingredient selection case studies, the enhanced tool enables provision of more accurate formulation guidance and strengthens the Green Score's utility as a forward-looking product design guide and informed substitution tool. Potential opportunities for leveraging the rapid evolution of the cosmetic and chemical regulatory landscape to facilitate further optimization and refinement of the framework are also discussed. The applicability of the Green Score to catalyze progress in the pursuit of meaningful transparency and empirical data sharing across enterprise supply chain networks is also highlighted.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":78,"journal":{"name":"Green Chemistry","volume":"27 18","pages":"Pages 5015-5026"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143908558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the innovative use of reactive laser ablation in liquids (RLAL) to recover and repurpose valuable metals from effluents of the former Zlate Hory mine in the Czech Republic, transforming them into multielement nanoparticles (NPs) with broad industrial applications. By leveraging RLAL on two solid targets, Au and Fe, this work demonstrates the formation of multielement NPs that incorporate elements like Al, Fe, and Zn from the mine effluents. These NPs, characterized through various analytical techniques, exhibit unique structural and electrochemical properties. The incorporation of ferrimagnetic AlFe₂O₄ and spinel-structured Zn(Al_1.9Fe_0.1)O₄ into the NPs enhances their catalytic potential, while the presence of Fe-based structures imparts magnetophoretic behavior, making them suitable for various technological applications, including catalysis and data storage. This approach not only provides a sustainable solution for recovering critical elements but also mitigates the environmental impact of former mining activities, aligning with circular economy principles.

As a non-traditional catalytic activation method, sonocatalysis can profoundly modify reaction mechanisms and unlock novel activation pathways that are not typically accessible through standard catalysis. This unique approach offers new opportunities for driving reactions under milder conditions while potentially improving selectivity and efficiency. This review highlights the recent progress of sonocatalytic applications in green chemistry and their contribution to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including environmental remediation, sonotherapy, and biomass conversion. In these applications, we explore the underlying sonocatalytic mechanisms and the interaction between solid catalysts and ultrasound, which drive the enhanced reactivity. A key feature of this manuscript is its comprehensive analysis of the primary technical challenges in sonocatalysis, specifically its low energy efficiency and the complexity of reaction control. To address these hurdles, we examine various effective strategies, such as the incorporation of nanostructured catalytic cavitation agents and the design of advanced microfluidic sonoreactors. These innovations improve energy transfer, control bubble dynamics, and enhance catalytic activity under ultrasound. Furthermore, we implement molecular modelling to gain fundamental insights into the mechanisms fundamental to the effectiveness of sonocatalysts. This approach provides a deeper understanding of how nanostructured catalysts interact with ultrasonic fields, guiding the design of next-generation catalytic materials. The integration of nanostructured catalytic cavitation agents, microfluidic reactor technologies, and computational molecular modelling forms a trilateral synergistic platform that unlocks new potential in sonocatalysis.
