TLDR
The slow pace of hazardous waste remediation at military installations around the world is causing a serious delay in conversion of many of these facilities to civilian uses as discussed by the authors, which is a serious problem.Abstract:
The civilian, commercial, and defense sectors of most advanced industrialized nations are faced with a tremendous set of environmental problems related to the remediation of hazardous wastes, contaminated groundwaters, and the control of toxic air contaminants. For example, the slow pace of hazardous waste remediation at military installations around the world is causing a serious delay in conversion of many of these facilities to civilian uses. Over the last 10 years problems related to hazardous waste remediation have emerged as a high national and international priority.read more

Photochemical conversion and storage of solar energy
J.R. Bolton,D.O. Hall +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the general principles and limitations of converting solar energy via photochemical reactions to electrical or chemical energy are described, and photosynthesis is concluded to be the only reliable and efficient system, suggesting that research efforts should aim at mimicking the photosynthesis process and modifying it to produce other fuel sources, such as hydrogen or ammonia.

Heterogeneous photochemical electron transfer
TL;DR: In this paper, the physical principles underlying heterogeneous electron-transfer processes are outlined in a concise way and are compared to the homogeneous counterpart, which is the basis for the subsequent treatment of the transduction of excitation energy and photo-initiated electron transfer in organized molecular assemblies, such as micelles, vesicles and monolayers.
