Navigating the ESG Paradox: Strategic Pathways Between Innovation and Washing Under Stakeholder Scrutiny

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As firms increasingly incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns into their strategic agendas, stakeholder legitimacy—an audience‐conferred judgment of organizational appropriateness—has become pivotal. We theorize legitimacy as expanding a hybrid response portfolio in which firms may pursue substantive change (business ...

Analysis of the Efficiency of Slope Evacuation for Dense Crowds in Urban Street-Type Public Spaces

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Street-type spaces, characterized by their relative closedness and propensity for human congregation, inherently carry potential safety evacuation risks. In order to study the influence of slopes on the evacuation efficiency of pedestrians in street-type

Free Trade Zones and Corporate ESG: Evidence From a Quasi‐Natural Experiment in China

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how China's Pilot Free Trade Zones (FTZs) influence corporate ESG performance. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences model on Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2024, we combine coarsened exact matching (CEM) and geography‐based instrumental variables to ensure robust identification.

Post‐Shaping Over‐Impregnation: A Facile Strategy for Pt‐KL Catalysts With Ultrahigh Metal Dispersion and Enhanced Aromatization Performance

open access: yesCarbon and Hydrogen, EarlyView.
A scalable post‐shaping strategy achieves precise Pt localization within KL zeolite, where optimized spatial distribution minimizes diffusion barriers to deliver superior n‐hexane aromatization activity, selectivity, and stability. ABSTRACT The precise localization of metal clusters within zeolite frameworks is critical for the aromatization catalysis.

Multifunctional Design of Solid Polymer Electrolytes: Paving the Way for High‐Performance All‐Solid‐State Batteries

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
This review provides a comprehensive and systematic overview of the multifunctional design strategies for solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs), a pivotal component for enabling high‐performance all‐solid‐state batteries (ASSBs). It begins with a detailed classification of SPE systems and elaborates on their respective molecular design principles. The work

Lewis‐Acidic Properties and Catalytic Behavior of Hydroboration‐ and Diolysis‐Derived NHC‐Stabilized Borenium Cations

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A series of thirteen (N‐heterocyclic carbene) NHC‐stabilized borenium cations is synthesized from NHC→BH3 complexes via hydroboration and condensation with diols. The novel compounds are fully characterized. Eight crystal structures are presented. Kinetic and NMR data show how the structural features translate to catalytic activity in hydrosilylation ...

Energy Landscapes in Chemical Reactions and Transport

open access: yesChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Kinetics/dynamics of chemical reactivity and transport of chemical species in a solid are both determined by the energy landscape in which they take place. Discussing common grounds but also distinct differences may help in advancing the understanding in both fields.

Sudan at War With Itself: Civilian Devastation in the Civil War

open access: yesConflict Resolution Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A civil war is raging in Sudan between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) along with militia groups. Beginning on April 15, 2023, and continuing at least to this writing (October 15, 2025), civilian noncombatants have been subjected to bombings, beatings, torture, shootings, rape, and murder on a large scale. Since
