In this study, we examine the economic impacts of net zero-emission target in New Zealand, applying an integrated forest-computable general equilibrium model. The model is set to simulate equilibrium carbon permit price and sectoral output levels given the emission trading market, which is also...

Facilitating reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is an effective way to promote the heterogeneous catalytic efficiency for organics removal. However, the metal leaching in metal-based catalysts and the low activity of non-metallic materials restrict ROS production. In this work, the purpose...

Development of aqueous electrolytes in anodic electrochemical (EC) exfoliation is regarded as the preferred choice to prepare single or few layered graphene. Generally, in diluted aqueous electrolytes, however, the uncontrollable decomposition of water often provides excess driving forces,...

Chlortetracycline (CTC) is widely used in the livestock industry to promote animal growth and treat diseases. Effective actions should be taken to decrease the environmental risks associated with CTC-rich waste. Biochar produced by biomass waste shows great potential for organic contaminants...

Photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are emerging alternative antibacterial approaches. However, due to the lack of selectivity of photosensitizers for pathogenic bacteria, these methods often show a certain degree of in vivo toxicity. Moreover, it is difficult for PDT to...

Using the panel data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2019, we examine the impact of financial technology (FinTech) development on enterprise investment efficiency. In addition, we construct a regional FinTech development index on the basis of the number of FinTech companies in...

Using a comprehensive individual panel dataset in China and an event study method, we examined the effects of having a child on gender inequality from the perspectives of labor market outcomes and its mechanisms. Results show that becoming a mother implies a sharp decline in labor earnings,...
