This paper develops a model in which market structure is determined endogenously by the choice of intermediation mode. We consider two representative business modes of intermediation that are widely used in real-life markets: one is a middleman mode by which an intermediary holds inventories...

This article develops a model in which an intermediary uses a supply chain finance (SCF) program to fund suppliers. The SCF program pools liquidity from suppliers and meanwhile provides immediate payment to suppliers with pressing liquidity needs. We show that the intermediary optimally selects...

Thiophosphate compounds have attracted much attention in coordination chemistry, but their deep adsorption mechanism remains underexplored as flotation collectors. The flotation performance and adsorption mechanism of a novel (dibutoxy-thiophosphorylsulfanyl)-acetic acid (CDDP) chelating...

Surface reconstruction is a promising approach to obtain highly efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is vital for many renewable energy conversion and storage processes. Herein, we synthesized Co-Fe based difluoride by a simple solvothermal treatment process with...
