Greenhouse gas emissions, inventories and validation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The emission of greenhouse gases has become a very high priority research and environmental policy issue due to their effects on global climate. The knowledge of changes in global atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases since the industrial ...

An Elastocaloric Polymer with Ultra‐High Solid‐State Cooling via Defect Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work reports a defect‐engineering strategy that enables a record‐high adiabatic temperature change of up to 8.14 ± 1.76 °C in elastomers at an elevated temperature above 65 °C. Combined experimental and theoretical efforts reveal that increasing dangling‐chain defects nonmonotonically impacts the elastocaloric cooling performance of polymers due ...

Is the Uncertainty about Climate Change Too Large for Expected Cost-Benefit Analysis? [PDF]

open access: yes
Cost-benefit analysis is only applicable if the variances of both costs and benefits are finite. In the case of climate change, the variances of the net present marginal costs and benefits of greenhouse gas emission reduction need to be finite ...

Modification Strategies of Carbon‐Based Electrodes From Structural Regulation to Multifunctional Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Tracing the evolution from structural regulation to multifunctional integration, this paper systematically analyzes modification strategies for carbon‐based electrodes. It evaluates how element doping, surface functionalization, and composite material design affect the electrode performance, and offers perspectives on future applications and challenges

Microwave Ultrafast Heating on Iron‐based Nanogap Catalysts for CO2 Reduction Coupling with Coke Removal

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study employs a nanogap‐induced microwave discharge strategy to pretreat coke deposits on iron‐based catalysts with engineered nanogaps, causing ultrarapid heating to 1990 K within seconds, selectively eliminating >70% surface carbon deposits and converting waste plastics and greenhouse gases into syngas.

Orientation‐Dependent Phase Transformation Pathways Enabling Superior Superelastic and Elastocaloric Performance of NiTi Alloys

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By integrating simulations and experiments, the preferred (001) crystallographic texture promotes reversible martensite formation through variant selection, enhancing both superelastic and elastocaloric performance. This work provides fundamental guidelines for designing high‐efficiency NiTi‐based functional materials. Abstract Developing elastocaloric

Greenhouse-gas Emission Controls and International Carbon Leakage through Trade Liberalization [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper studies greenhouse-gas (GHG) emission controls in the presence of carbon leakage through international firm relocation. The Kyoto Protocol requires developed countries to reduce GHG emissions by a certain amount. Comparing emission quotas with

A decomposition analysis of the emission of CO2 [PDF]

open access: yes
In 1997 many countries, including the Netherlands, signed the Kyoto treaty. According to this protocol, the emission of CO2 in the Netherlands in the years 2008-2012 should be on average 6% below the level of 1990.

Bidirectionally Thermochromic Nanocolloid System for on‐Demand Optical Switching and Agricultural Energy Management

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A bidirectionally thermochromic nanocolloid system is developed for facility agriculture. The bidirectional and wide‐temperature response dynamically modulates light radiation, stabilizing the indoor climate, improving supplemental lighting efficiency, and accelerating plant photosynthesis.
