This article from Nature discusses the rapid advancements in green materials research across Asia, highlighting the region’s leadership in sustainable technologies. It explores innovative solutions like passive cooling materials, which reduce urban heat without energy use, and solar spectrum-tuning films that enhance photosynthesis and enable CO2 conversion into valuable products. These developments are driven by the pressing need to address climate change, energy efficiency, and urban challenges. Asian countries, including China, Japan, and Singapore, lead global efforts in materials science, leveraging strong government funding, industry-academic collaborations, and a focus on commercialization. The competition and cooperation within the region are fostering breakthroughs in fields like green hydrogen production and advanced photocatalysis, aligning economic goals with environmental benefits. This surge in research reflects Asia’s commitment to tackling climate challenges while securing a competitive edge in emerging green technologies.
