Summary: Rare-earth metals like neodymium play a crucial role in various technological applications. However, the conventional electrolytic production method has drawbacks such as greenhouse gas emissions. This perspective explores an alternate electrolysis concept using chloride-based molten salts and discusses its potential advantages, including reduced energy consumption, stable cell operation, and process scalability.

Summary: This study presents a new approach to improve the Li-ion storage properties of aluminum anodes by replacing the natural Al2O3 passivation layer with Sn at room temperature. The obtained Al@Sn pellet electrode exhibits a larger reversible capacity and a lower voltage dip. Further attachment of graphene oxide (GO) enhances the storage properties of the electrode.

Summary: This study investigates the conditions that lead to severe aluminum corrosion and precipitation through long-term corrosion tests. The results show that significant precipitates are formed in buffered solutions with sodium tetraborate and trisodium phosphate at high pH. The presence of insulation materials effectively mitigates aluminum corrosion, and iron-enriched intermetallic particles embedded in the samples appear to facilitate precipitation.

Summary: Surface passivation is improved by using a boron oxide/aluminum oxide stack (BOx/Al2O3) on c-Si surfaces. The BOx/Al2O3 stacks show superior passivation quality compared to Al2O3 single layers after annealing. The optimized BOx/Al2O3 passivation stack achieves very low dark current densities on n-type and p-type Cz wafers, as well as boron-doped p+ emitters.

Summary: The development of sodium-ion batteries with sulfonylamide-based electrolytes is hindered by the corrosion of the Al current collector. This study investigates the effect of temperature and Na salt concentration on the Al corrosion behavior in different ionic liquid electrolytes. Severe Al corrosion was found at high temperatures and low salt concentrations in the ionic liquids.

Summary: The charge state transition levels of intrinsic defects and dopant substitutions in the compound III-V semiconductor In0.53Ga0.47As were calculated using density functional theory. Deep trap levels and recombination rates were reported for certain defects, with the AsIn antisite showing the highest electron-capture coefficient and the InAs-AsIn double antisite showing the highest hole-capture coefficient. It is suggested that antisites are the most likely defects to occur due to their low formation energies and matching transition levels with experiments. Additionally, the SnAs substitution causes significant recombination in the semiconductor only at very high doping levels.

Summary: The removal of heavy metals, especially copper, from water is crucial due to the health risks they pose to humans. This study introduces a new aluminous material, BPEM, for copper removal, and analyzes the Cu2+ adsorption mechanism using NMR. The findings suggest that copper fixation is achieved by replacing hydrogen bonding on the surface of hydrated alumina with Cu cations.

Summary: The integrated assessment using emergy and eco-exergy methods was conducted to investigate three forest lake ecosystems with different trophic levels. The results revealed that the eutrophic lake had the highest emergy investment and eco-exergy density, while the mesotrophic lake had the highest eco-exergy/emergy ratio, indicating better efficiency in maintaining and developing ecosystem structure and organization.

Summary: Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) solar cells are a promising photovoltaic technology due to their abundance, dry processability, and eco-friendliness. To enhance the efficiency of Cd-free CZTS devices, a ZnMgO window layer was deposited using atomic layer deposition (ALD). The deposited amorphous ZnMgO showed superior smoothness compared to high temperature ALD and comparable doping density to high-temperature thermal ALD, resulting in reduced charge carrier recombination and improved efficiency.
