Systematic protection and restoration of water bodies in collapse areas based on surface runoff regulation by Shaogang LEI, Yufan XU, Mian ZHANG, Dongxing CHEN, Xia HUA, Dong GUO

“…After connection, the maximum connection distance from east to west in the study area increased by 5 times, and the overall connectivity of the watershed was improved. The average water velocity in the corridors reached 0.067 m/s, significantly improving the hydrodynamic conditions in the mining area; ② By using the pollutant interception technology based on the spatial optimization layout of vegetation buffer zones in key areas, with water connected corridors and ecological source areas as key areas, the Phillips hydrological model was used to calculate that the required vegetation buffer zone width in the Yanzhou mining area is mainly concentrated between 15～35 m, with a total area of 5.59 km2, of which 18 km2 is already covered by vegetation and 41 km2 is missing vegetation buffer zone to be constructed; ③ The results of SWAT scenario simulation analysis further verified that the model has a significant effect on the protection and restoration of water bodies in mining areas. …”

Accelerate Mass Transport of Proton and Carbon Sources by Super‐Hygroscopic and Porous Nanosheets for Continuous CO2‐To‐Ethylene Upgrade by Silong Dong, Guobin Wen, Xinyu Yang, Xiaowen Zhang, Shuxuan Liu, Haoyang Xiong, Yinyi Liu, Kai Zong, Hao Li, Yifan Li, Yi Cui, Bohua Ren, Xin Wang, Mingliang Jin, Zhongwei Chen

“…Inspired by Tillandsia leaves, which efficiently capture H2O and CO2 from the air, copper nanosheets with dual‐functional channels are we designed: the superhygroscopic network enables capillary condensation, converting H2O(g) into H2O(l) to form H2O channels that ensure a stable supply of protons, while the CO2 channels formed by the microporous structure enhance the diffusion of CO2, thus enriching the carbon source. This synergistic design creates an optimal microenvironment for CO2 conversion by simultaneously delivering both protons and CO2 to the reaction interface. …”
