8-Jan-2026 Breaking the performance limit of 1.80 eV wide-bandgap perovskites: Heteronucleation strategy enables "vertical growth" and ultra-high fill factors Research A research team from the Frontiers Science Center for Flexible Electronics at Northwestern Polytechnical University, jointly with Xi'an Shiyou University and Xidian University, developed a novel crystallization regulation strategy. The team introduced all-inorganic 2D CsPb2Br5 nano-flakes as a "heteronucleation agent" for the first time, successfully achieving precise control over the crystallization process of wide-bandgap perovskites.

8-Jan-2026 Characterizing the potential for sustainable azelaic acid production from high-oleic vegetable oil using two-step oxidative cleavage University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment Researchers developed a biorefinery model in BioSTEAM to evaluate industrial-grade azelaic acid production from high-oleic soybean oil using the two-step oxidative cleavage (TSOC) process. The modeled system demonstrated the potential for financially viable azelaic acid production from high-oleic soybean oil and the utility of techno-economic analysis (TEA) and life cycle assessment (LCA) for evaluating and improving performance. The open-source modeling framework developed can be readily applied to assess azelaic acid production from other high-oleic vegetable oils and emerging lipid feedstocks by adjusting composition, cost, and process assumptions.
