Dual‐Functional Sulfonated Nanocellulose for Proton Exchange Membranes With High Proton Conductivity at Low Humidity

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A scalable dual‐functional strategy yields simultaneously sulfonated and nanosized cellulose for proton exchange membranes with continuous hydrogen‐bond networks. These sustainable membranes exhibit low‐humidity proton conductivity twofold higher than Nafion 212, providing a robust solution for next‐generation fuel cells.

High‐Coverage Nanometric MOx (M = Ir, Rh) Clusters Anchored on Spinel Co3O4 Matrix With Amorphous/Crystalline Heterostructure Harness Efficient Water Electrolysis

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Strong interfacial electronic coupling between nanometric MOx (M = Ir and Rh) clusters and the spinel matrix optimizes the electronic environment and redistributes spatial charge, thereby enabling efficient water electrolysis. Architecting nanometric cluster electrocatalysts with high density of active atoms offers a valuable avenue to simultaneously ...

When Policy Is the Hazard: Institutional Legitimacy and Climate Risk Attribution Among Farmers in Water Stressed California

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how farmers perceive and respond to climate policy risk in the context of drought and argues that understanding such responses is as important as understanding farmer reactions to the biophysical impacts of climate change.

Knowledge sourcing, geopolitics, and FDI: An empirical analysis on the US green and digital sectors

Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This paper examines how foreign direct investment (FDI) shapes firms' sourcing of knowledge in the digital and green domains under rising geopolitical frictions. We assemble a firm–country dyadic panel (2013–2020) linking US patent backward citations to firms' FDI, enriched with bilateral geopolitical distance and host‐country

Geopolitics and global strategy: Making money under anarchy

Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Multinational firms conduct cross‐border trade and investment in a world of anarchy, where nation‐states must secure their survival in the absence of a world government. We develop a geopolitical‐economic order (GEO) framework to argue that the extent of geopolitical competition incentivizes states to create one of two types ...
