Doubly enhanced second harmonic generation through structural and epsilon-near-zero resonances in TiN nanostructures by Wen, Xinglin, Li, Guangyuan, Gu, Chengyan, Zhao, Jiaxin, Wang, Shijie, Jiang, Chunping, Palomba, Stefano, Martijn de Sterke, C., Xiong, Qihua

“…Ideally, a double resonance occurs, in which both the excitation and the harmonic wavelengths are enhanced, but this is restricted by the available modes. It has been recently shown that thin films of epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials can also enhance optical nonlinear effects if excited at the ENZ wavelength. …”

Utilization of recycled glass for 3D concrete printing : rheological and mechanical properties by Ting, Andrew Guan Heng, Tay, Daniel Yi Wei, Qian, Ye, Tan, Ming Jen

“…The disposal of post-consumer glass has been a major issue due to its inert properties that may cause environmental effects, while recycling of these glasses is only feasible if the waste glass recovered is sorted into its different colour to prevent chemical incompatibility in the manufacturing process. 3D printing in building and construction has gain increasing attention in the past decade and provides a potential to sustainably utilize the recycled unsorted glasses. …”

Targeted removal of aluminium and copper in Li-ion battery waste solutions by selective precipitation as valuable porous materials by Cognet, Marine, Cambedouzou, Julien, Madhavi, Srinivasan, Carboni, Michaël, Meyer, Daniel

“…From raw LiBs containing Al, Cu, Mn, Ni, or Co mainly, a selective precipitation of different metals as MOFs has been possible. The use of a carboxylate ligand allowed complete precipitation of Al from the solution, whereas using a bipyridine ligand changes the selectivity to precipitate Cu as MOFs. …”
