Temperature and Farm Labor in Nigeria

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of temperature shocks on the composition of farm labor in rural Nigeria using a nationally representative household panel survey. Leveraging plausibly exogenous year‐to‐year variation in growing season temperatures, we find that warmer temperatures significantly alter farm labor composition, prompting a substantial shift

Breaking Down Lignin: A Macromolecule's Path to the Nanoscale

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This section highlights lignin's critical role as a sustainable, multifunctional precursor for nanomaterial design. Its unique structure and abundance enable the creation of lignin‐based, lignin‐derived, and hybrid nanomaterials with tunable properties. Emphasis is placed on lignin's potential to drive innovation in nanotechnology, offering ecofriendly

Copper Contact for Perovskite Solar Cells: Properties, Interfaces, and Scalable Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Copper electrodes, as low‐cost, scalable contacts for perovskite solar cells, offer several advantages over precious metals such as Au and Ag, including performance, cost, deposition methods, and interfacial engineering. Copper (Cu) electrodes are increasingly considered practical, sustainable alternatives to noble‐metal contacts in perovskite solar ...
