Climate Change Risk and Financial Stability: Implications for European Banking Institutions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether climate change risk weakens banking‐system stability in the European Union and assesses how renewable energy adoption and energy‐related taxation moderate this relationship. Using panel data for 27 EU countries from 2012 to 2022 and applying fixed‐effects OLS, two‐stage least squares (2SLS), and robust generalized ...

Elucidating the Interplay Between Structure and Electrochemical Behavior in Lignin‐Based Polymer Electrolytes for Potassium Batteries

Battery Energy, Volume 4, Issue 2, March 2025.
Three biobased membranes are synthesized by crosslinking oxidized Kraft lignin with poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether of increasing molecular weights. After incorporation of solvated potassium salts, potassium batteries including these biobased gel polymer electrolytes are able to deliver a maximum specific capacity at 0.05 A g−1 as high as 130 ...

Mixed Ion‐Electron Thermoelectric Generators With Ionogels Blended With MXene Continuously Harvesting Heat Under Both Steady and Fluctuated Temperature Gradients

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A mixed ion‐electron thermoelectric generator (MTEG) based on MXene ionogels converts both steady and fluctuating temperature gradients into continuous electricity. The hybrid conduction arises from electron tunneling through MXene networks and ionic diffusion driven by the Soret effect, enabling stable voltage output and high thermopower for efficient
