Industry is a core area to achieve the carbon neutrality target for most developing countries including China. Hence, it is of great practical significance to study the spatio-temporal characteristics of China's industrial carbon intensity and its evolution. The exploratory spatial data analysis methods were adopted to conduct global and local spatial correlation analysis in this paper. The result shows that (1) the industrial carbon emission intensity decreases year by year, with high industrial carbon emission intensity in the West and low in the East. (2) There is a correlation in the spatial distribution of industrial carbon intensity, with the Moran index experiencing the stage of descending first and then ascending. (3) The local spatial clustering of industrial carbon intensity is obvious. (4) Half of the provinces have experienced a leap, with the majority located in the western part of China. Based on these findings, it is concluded that industrial emission reduction policy synergy between provinces is particularly important, such as low-carbon industrial production policy and green industry development policy.

The nitrogen-fixing, chemolithoautotrophic genus is found across numerous diverse environments worldwide and is an important member of many ecosystems. These species serve as model systems for their metabolic properties and have industrial applications in bioremediation and sustainable protein, food and fertilizer production. Despite their abundance and utility, the majority of strains are without a genome sequence, and only eight validly published species are known to date.

Plastic waste continues to be a major environmental challenge, worsened by energy-intensive conventional recycling methods that require highly pure feedstocks. In this review, emerging electrochemical upcycling technologies are critically examined, focusing on the electro-oxidation transformation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into valuable chemical products. Key reaction pathways and target products are outlined to clarify the selective electrochemical reforming of PET.

Developing the efficient C─H bond activation carboxylation processes for furoic acid (FA) represents a critical technological challenge in achieving atom-economical synthesis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Despite notable advancements in this field, the inherent contradiction between the high reactivity of furan rings and the chemical inertness of C─H bonds poses substantial technical bottleneck for achieving controllable C─H carboxylation under mild conditions. Herein, we report a high lattice-distorted MnOx catalyst with surface trench-like structures, wherein the Mn-O-conjugated configurations and electron-rich Mn cooperatively drive FA dehydrogenation and carbon radical reduction, inducing the free radical evolution process (FA→carbon-centered FA radical→FA carbanion), then coupled with solvent-polarized CO to accelerate the carboxylation process.

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), equipped with highly ion-conductive sulfide solid electrolytes and utilizing lithium plating/stripping as anode electrochemistry, suffer from 1) chemical vulnerability of the electrolytes with lithium and 2) physical growth of lithium to penetrate the electrolytes. By employing an ordered mesoporous graphitic carbon (OMGC) framework between a sulfide electrolyte layer and a copper current collector in ASSB, the concerns by are addressed 1) minimizing the chemically vulnerable interface (CVI) between electric conductor and solid electrolyte, and 2) allowing lithium ingrowth toward the porous structure via Coble creep, a diffusional deformation mechanism of lithium metal along the lithium-carbon interface. The void volume of the framework is fully filled with lithium metal, despite ionic pathways not being provided separately, even without additional lithiophiles, when an enough amount of lithium is allowed to be plated.

Effective removal of trace heavy metal ions from aqueous bodies is a pressing problem and requires significant improvement in the area of absorbent material in terms of removal efficiency and sustainability. We propose an efficient strategy to enhance the adsorption efficiency of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by growing dendrimers on their surface. First, CNTs were pre-functionalized with maleic acid (MA) via Diels-Alder reaction in presence of a deep eutectic solvent under ultrasonication.
