In recent years, the push for sustainable energy solutions has escalated significantly, driven by urgent concerns about environmental degradation and the depletion of natural resources. Traditional battery systems, especially those reliant on lithium sources, are under scrutiny due to their environmental impact, particularly the use of harmful fluorinated compounds. As countries tighten regulations on per-
In recent decades, the threat of compound climatic extremes—days characterized by high temperatures, dryness, and an elevated risk of wildfires—has dramatically escalated across South America. Research reveals that, since the 1970s, certain areas within the continent have experienced a troubling tripling of such extreme days annually. While South America is warming at a rate similar
Catalysts are essential components in the production processes of numerous everyday products, impacting sectors from automotive to agriculture. Particularly, these substances are employed to facilitate reactions efficiently, minimizing energy usage and curbing undesirable by-products. In automotive applications, for instance, catalysts are vital for purifying exhaust gases, playing a key role in reducing air pollution. Similarly,
