This systematic study demonstrates that incorporating ultra-low amounts of transition metals into carbon-based catalysts significantly enhances their oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance under alkaline conditions. The findings offer …

Li Zeng, Jinghui Huang

This study analyzes contagion effects of climate financial risks across markets during the low-carbon transition. Using daily data from April 2020 to April 2025, it applies a multiscale tail risk framework combining wavelet decomposition, c…

This paper analyzes the regional impacts of China's low-carbon power transition on employment structure by skill and gender, revealing heterogeneous effects and providing policy insights for a just transition.

Sarah Coffin, Shahzeen Z. Attari, Holly Jean Buck +7

This paper examines how perceived naturalness shapes public support for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and low-carbon energy technologies. Two US-based studies show that when technologies are perceived as natural, they gain more support due t…

This study evaluates vegetation carbon sink dynamics under four land cover scenarios (economic development first, carbon neutrality first, sustainable development, natural development) in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Usin…

Botong Gu

This study evaluates low-carbon materials (CFRP, high-strength aluminum, bio-composites, recycled steel) for mechanical performance and proposes a design framework coupling material selection with topology optimization and lightweight desig…

Haitao Zhang, Ying Chen

This paper proposes a game-theoretic and Lyapunov-integrated model for minimizing operational costs of industrial multi-energy hubs, incorporating carbon trading. It optimizes energy supply and demand balance, demonstrating cost reduction v…

Yadong Xu, Yiran Lai, Luotong Zhao +2

In three forest types of Funiu Mountain, China, microbial carbon and nitrogen use efficiency (CUE, NUE) showed a strong negative trade-off. Mixed forest exhibited highest NUE but lowest CUE due to nitrogen limitation. Soil nutrients indirec…

Xiaolin Chu, Peng Wang, Ruijuan Zhao

This paper proposes an optimal energy and workload dispatch model for data center clusters (DCC) integrating distributed energy storage (DES) and shared energy storage (SES) under a carbon trading mechanism. A Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Progra…

Xue Cui, Pingzheng Tong, Zixin Lu +1

This paper proposes a bi-level optimization model for distributed resource aggregator (DRA) bidding across energy, peak regulation, carbon, and green certificate markets, incorporating a limited carbon-green certificate linkage mechanism. I…

This paper analyzes environmental taxation as a system-level lever in EU agri-food governance, examining carbon-cost exposure, emission intensity, and trade competitiveness from a complex adaptive systems perspective over 2005–2024. It reve…

Xuemei Zhang, Haodong Chen, Guohu Qi

This paper examines a cross-border remanufacturing supply chain under carbon tariffs and cap-and-trade using a two-stage Stackelberg game. It finds that carbon tariffs reduce emissions but hurt profits and social welfare, while cap-and-trad…

Ángeles Montserrat Govea Franco, Saúl Domínguez Casasola, Heriberto Salazar-Soto

This study uses machine learning (k-prototypes clustering and ANN) to analyze the effectiveness of emissions trading systems (ETSs) across 53 countries. It classifies 58 ETSs into four archetypes and identifies renewable energy consumption …

Xi Zhang, Jialei Ma, Xinyuan Xu +1

This paper empirically examines the impact of China's carbon emission trading scheme (ETS) on corporate debt financing costs. It quantifies how carbon pricing introduces financial risk, linking climate policy to capital markets.

Teklu Gebretsadik Wana, Mário Paulo Falcão

This systematic review examines the economic and social impacts of mangrove restoration, focusing on job creation, gender involvement, financing, and carbon sequestration. Findings show short-term planting jobs are abundant but decline with…
