At present, China is undergoing industrial restructuring. However, the resource misallocation problem in China is still serious, which may affect China’s green total factor energy efficiency (GTFEE). Based on previous studies, misallocation may be exacerbated by corruption, which would further...

The acceptance of renewable energy technologies is a complicated and multifaceted process influenced by a broad range of factors. Therefore, this study aims to examine the factors influencing consumer intention to utilize renewable energy (RE). Moreover, the current research highlights the...

The sustainable development of China’s economy and society has been restricted by energy and environmental issues. With the implementation of the Rise of Central China strategy, Henan, a populous province in China, is facing the threat of an energy shortage as its economy grows steadily and...

Global warming has emerged as a serious threat to humans and sustainable development. China is under increasing pressure to curb its carbon emissions as the world’s largest emitter of carbon dioxide. By combining the Tapio decoupling model and the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) framework,...

With the emergence of information communication technology, the role of internet development has become crucial for energy intensity. This study uses the spatial Durbin model to test the impact of internet development on China’s energy intensity. The results show that internet development...

In this study, the interrelationship between income inequality, fiscal decentralization, and public health is investigated within a comprehensive research framework for the first time. Using the panel data of 23 Chinese provinces for a period between 2002 and 2012, a carefully designed...

Green development is critical for China's economic transformation. Enhancing green total factor energy efficiency (hereafterGTFEE) is vital to emission reduction and to win-win industrial development. This study uses the panel data of 30 Chinese provinces for the period 2005–2016 to...

Naoli river basin(NRB), with an area of 24,863 km<Superscript>2</Superscript>, is the largest basin and also the largest marsh distribution area in Sanjiang Plain, Heilongjiang, China. The hydrological evolution process of wetland in NRB has made a marked ecological responses for anthropic activities, also reflects the...</superscript>

The effect of MgO on structure and dielectric properties of aluminoborosilicate glasses was investigated. FTIR data indicated that glass network was mainly built by tetrahedral [SiO4], [BO4], [AlO4] and trigonal [BO3]. A small amount of AlO5 or AlO6 units also existed. The glass system was...

RO-Al2O3-B2O3-SiO2 (R = Ca, Mg) glasses containing different concentrations of TiO2 (ranging from 0 to 9 mol.%) were prepared by conventional melting method. When TiO2 was present in lower concentrations (≤ 6 mol.%), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated that titanium ions...
