), polymer nanocomposites, and electromagnetic shielding. Finally, we identify persistent challenges, including energy-intensive activation processes, synergistic utilization of different elements in CGS, and industrial scalability gaps, while proposing targeted solutions such as externally-coupled activation and full-component resource recovery. These insights aim to bridge fundamental research with industrial implementation, advancing CGS valorization toward a zero-waste paradigm.
