Metal halide perovskite materials have revolutionized the solution-processed solar cells and become the vanguard of research focus with an unprecedented improvement of power conversion efficiencies up
Although the study of the effects of microplastics increased in the last years, terrestrial ecosystems remain less studied.

Tire materials are a significant proportion of the (micro)plastics in the environment that until today have been clearly overlooked.

Plastic pollution is a global problem since 2016 when its production reached 322 million tonnes, excluding fibers. Daily discharges of microplastics (MPs, defined as
Lithium ion batteries (LIB) continue to gain market share in response to the increasing demand for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and energy storage.
