Nanoclay-Based Sustainable Materials: Functional Properties, Characterization, and Multifaceted Applications, Volume , 1 January 2024

In this chapter, interesting research progress on nanoclay-based materials for energy storage and conversion applications is discussed. Some of the notable advantages of using this class of materials for electrochemical applications include its availability, low cost, porous structures, hydrophilic nature, high specific surface, high thermal stability, mechanical stability, and good ionic conductivity. The discussion speculates that the field can be potentially employed in fabricating inexpensive, scalable, application-specific nanoclay-based materials for advanced energy applications.

More than 1100 people came together virtually on 18 June 2024 for the tenth edition of the RELX SDG Inspiration Day: "In the Age of AI: Information to Advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)." The annual online event brings together thought leaders, corporate representatives, students, investors, governments, and NGOs to explore pressing issues, gain practical insight, and inspire action on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This article focuses on numerous plot, field, and regional scale studies conducted in the Critical Zone Observatories (CZO) facilities distributed across the China Loess Plateau (CLP). The CLP CZO features the world's largest and deepest loess deposits, highly disturbed by human activities, and consists of a longitudinal series of monitoring sites.

Environmental Health Behavior: Concepts, Determinants, and Impacts, Volume , 1 January 2024

This chapter aligns with UN SDG goals 11 by discussing how smart cities can influence health determinants and quality of life in sustainable communities.

Radiative cooling (RC) has been an attractive electricity-free approach to reducing the energy consumption of buildings. Current RC strategies focus on roofs; however, limited attention has been paid to vertical walls. Here, we report a zigzag-based structural design with asymmetric emissivity to realize optimal RC walls.

This knowledge encompasses information about the local environment, including farming patterns, soil types, weather patterns, and other natural resources. Such indigenous agricultural practices are valuable methods, and these communities have illustrated the effectiveness, adaptability, and ways in which these adopted methods promote sustainable environmental management.
