Moisture Harvesting by the Structure Regulation of Hygroscopic Hydrogel for Energy and Water Sustainability

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Hygroscopic hydrogels are capable of utilizing the moisture from air, which can transfer the gaseous water to liquid by a surface phase transition. Taking advantage of this water, sustainable water production, thermal management, and electricity generation can be realized.

Appliance of network theory in economic geography [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
A continuously evolving geography requires a good understanding in networks. As such, this paper accounts for theories and applications of complex networks and their role both in geography in general, as well as in determining various geographical network trajectories.

Confining Surface Oxygen Redox in Double Perovskites for Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Reaction Activity and Stability

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
The double perovskite BaSrNiWO6 is developed as an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst. B‐site W6+ dissolution drives in situ reconstruction of the surface to a disordered, NiO‐like layer. Consequently, local oxygen species are activated for a surface lattice oxygen evolution mechanism (sLOEM).

Identities with historical regions – are they adapting to modern administrative division? The case of Ukraine

open access: yesEuropean Spatial Research and Policy, 2019
Historical regions remain the most common basis for the formation or promotion of regional identities in Europe. However, regions and regional identities are in the process of constant formation and can change significantly in line with new conditions ...

Effect of Climate and Geography on worldwide fine resolution economic activity [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Geography, including climatic factors, have long been considered potentially important elements in shaping socio-economic activities, alongside other determinants, such as institutions. Here we demonstrate that geography and climate satisfactorily explain worldwide economic activity as measured by the per capita Gross Cell Product (GCP-PC) at a fine ...

Production externalities and dispersion process in a multi-region economy [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
We consider an economic geography model with two inter-regional proximity structures: one governing goods trade and the other governing production externalities across regions. We investigate how the introduction of the latter affects the timing of endogenous agglomeration and the spatial distribution of workers across regions.

The Economic Complexity of US Metropolitan Areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We calculate measures of economic complexity for US metropolitan areas for the years 2007-2015 based on industry employment data. We show that the concept of economic complexity translates well from the cross-country to the regional setting, and is able to incorporate local as well as traded industries.

How Do Organic Batteries Work? Theoretical and Design Principles of Electrode Materials for All‐Organic Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This concept article provides a comprehensive introduction and overview of how (fully) organic batteries and the respective redox‐active organic electrode materials work. Options for cell setups are discussed, as well as the difference between half‐ and full‐cells and the relevance of the two types. At the material level, the difference between organic
