Electrochemical reduction of CO 2 to C2 products provides a promising approach for controlling the global carbon balance and restoring renewable surplus electricity, while the low CO 2 activation property and slow OC-CO coupling rate lead to unfavorable performance on Cu-based catalysts. Here we...

Natural and anthropogenic causes have promoted the rapid increase of soil selenium (Se) level, and ecological risks of excess Se have attracted much attention. Exploring the dynamic of Se in organisms can help to better understand its toxicity. However, the full-process analysis of its uptake...

In this study, the effect of Ce3+ concentration on the polishing properties of Ce1-xLaxO2 abrasive (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) was investigated. The abrasives were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, Raman, and XPS. The polishing performance of abrasives was evaluated by AFM. All samples are CeO2 phase...

In this study, we provide a thorough analysis, conducted on a company-by-company basis, of the impact of bank concentration and the bank-relative power of banks on firm profitability, financing costs, and capital structure in a small economy like Portugal. Using a sample of 434,990 Portuguese...

This study investigates how market concentration (MC) and institutional quality (IQ) influence bank stability in developing nations, focusing on 80 banks in the ASEAN 4 countries (Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand) from 2006 to 2019. The study utilises the generalised method of...
