Engineering Oxygen Vacancy in Support to Promote Activity of In2O3 Catalyst for CO2 Electroreduction to Formate

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel approach by depositing In2O3 onto an oxygen vacancy (OV)‐enriched support, ceria‐zirconia solid solutions (CZ), to activate synergistic effects is proposed. The OV contributes greatly to the dissociation of H2O and further promotes the hydrogenation of adsorbed CO2 species.

Tunable Coordination Number in Non‐Metal‐Introduced Copper Catalysts Enables High‐Performance Electrochemical CO2 Reduction to C2 Products

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Copper catalysts introduced with different non‐metallic elements regulating the coordination number of Cu are prepared by magnetron sputtering. Reducing the Cu coordination number enhances C─C coupling and boosts C2+ product selectivity, by lowering the energy barrier for the *CO → *CHO conversion step. The optimized Si‐doped Cu catalyst achieves a C2+

The paleoecology and taphonomy of a Santonian-Campanian (Upper Cretaceous) dinosaur-bearing vertebrate locality from Bulgaria: a window into an underexplored part of the Late Cretaceous European Archipelago

open access: yesSwiss Journal of Palaeontology
The Upper Cretaceous European vertebrate fossil record has improved significantly in the past three decades but there still remain chronostratigraphic and geographic gaps, which obscure our understanding of the paleobiogeography and evolution within the ...

Side Reaction Pathway Modulation for Hydrogen Evolution‐Free Aqueous Zn‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A ZnO–TeO2–Te ternary composite layer with a unique rice grain‐like morphology is spontaneously formed on the Zn anode via telluric acid additive. This functional interphase effectively suppresses side reactions such as zinc hydroxide sulfate formation, hydrogen evolution, and Zn corrosion, enabling highly reversible and stable Zn metal cycling in ...

Fossil-fuel subsidies assessed [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2018
Many governments subsidize the production and consumption of fossil fuels. Contrary to expectation, a study finds that removing these subsidies would only modestly reduce global carbon dioxide emissions. Many governments subsidize the production and consumption of fossil fuels.

Anti-fossil fuel norms [PDF]

open access: yesClimatic Change, 2018
Historically, climate governance initiatives and associated scholarship have all but ignored the potential for “global moral norms” to bring about changes in the political conditions for global climate mitigation. This is surprising, since global moral norms are widely employed—as both a mode of governance and an analytical framework—in other domains ...
