Ozone (O) is a primary pollutant affecting air quality in China, whose formation rate was non-linearly based on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). A comprehensive understanding of the key drivers governing O formation and its sensitivity to precursor variations presents a persistent research challenge, stemming from the complex interplay of underlying photochemistry, meteorology, and topography. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted synchronous measurements of O and its precursors at both an urban (JPU) and a mountain (LM) site in a typical city in eastern China, enabling concurrent evaluation of O formation sensitivity and diagnostic analysis of its underlying mechanisms.

Integrated crop-livestock systems combine feed production with animal production as separate, but interconnected operations. This study presents the first Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a large scale, integrated, organic egg production system in Brazil and the first worldwide assessment of a large-scale integrated crop-poultry system. This research provides insights into eco-efficiency, offering guidance for sustainable practices in Brazil and beyond.

Lithium is the core material of modern battery technologies and fabricating the lithium-containing materials with atomic layer deposition (ALD) confers significant benefits in control of film composition and thickness. In this work, a new mononuclear N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) stabilized lithium complex, [Li(NHC)(hmds)], is introduced as a promising precursor for ALD of lithium-containing thin films. Structural characterization is performed, comparing density functional theory (DFT) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD), confirming a rare mononuclear structure.

Hydroxyl radical (•OH)-mediated electrochemical anodic oxidation (AO) is an efficient approach for the organic wastewater treatment. However, its practical application is constrained by energy-intensive demand due to the high potential required for •OH generation (E = 2.73 V).

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of tin silicon oxide was performed via an ALD supercycle on an amorphous carbon (a-C) layer, which serves as the mandrel in self-aligned double patterning (SADP) techniques. This approach addresses limitations of conventional ALD SiO2 processes using ozone (O3) as the oxidant, which can lead to degradation of a-C mandrel or collapse of the SiO2 spacer itself under aggressive scaling. In this study, tetrakis(dimethylamino)tin (TDMASn) and bis-diethylaminosilane (BDEAS) were used as Sn and Si precursors, respectively, with H2O as the oxidant to avoid damage to the a-C layer.
