Understanding fishermen's perspectives and responses relating to climate variability is important for sustainable fisheries management. To this end, a survey of captains of commercial passenger fishing vessels (CPFVs) was conducted in San Diego. The survey demonstrates that fishermen have...

Alternative choices of anode materials in Li-ion batteries (LiBs) have drawn great attention for the urgent demands of rapid charging, however, the severe interface problems remain a bottleneck for anode development. Based on the high reducibility of halogen elements, herein a smart anode/liquid...

The ~3.5 µm mid-infrared laser based on a high concentration of Er 3+ -doped multicomponent glasses possesses unique advantages, but the existing traditional glass hosts, that are inherently flawed, lead to challenging research. In this paper, oxyhalide glass with tellurite (as the main body)...

Using China’s regional carbon market pilots as a natural experiment, we examine the impacts of the emission trading system (ETS) on firms’ innovation and competitiveness. We show that the ETS directs innovation towards climate-friendly technologies; it increases the climate patent ratio by...

We study the effect of information provision on avoidance behavior, using China’s roll-out of air pollution information as a quasi-natural experiment. With a unique dataset of high-frequency mask purchase transactions, our difference-in-differences estimates show that the provision of air...

To compensate for the loss of irreversible capacity of lithium-ion battery, the silicate glass-ceramic containing LiYF4 crystals (YLFGC) is prepared by melting-annealing and then used as an active material to improve this situation. At the current density of 50 mA g-1, the specific capacity is...

We examine the impacts of China’s unconventional emission trading system (ETS), a rate-based tradable performance standard (TPS), on firm competitiveness. Our analysis takes advantage of the quasi-natural experiment created by China's regional ETS pilots and firm-level data on innovation and...

We study the effect of information provision on avoidance behavior, using China's staggered roll-out of air pollution information and a unique dataset of high-frequency mask purchase transactions. Employing a generalized difference-in-differences approach, we estimate that the provision of air...

In the 2009 Copenhagen Accord, China agreed to slash its carbon intensity (carbon dioxide emissions/GDP) by 40% to 45% from the 2005 level by 2020. We assess whether China can achieve the target under the business-as-usual scenario by forecasting its emissions from energy consumption. Our...
