Broad Skills, Smaller Footprints? Generalist CEOs and Firm Biodiversity Exposure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine whether CEO generalist skills predict firm‐level biodiversity risk exposure, an emerging strategic and financial concern. Using the biodiversity indicator developed based on textual analysis and the General Ability Index, we find that firms led by generalist CEOs are associated with significantly lower disclosed biodiversity risk ...

Process optimization in kraft pulping, bleaching, and beating of Leucaena diversifolia

BioResources, 2011
A variety of the Leucaena genus, Leucaena diversifolia, was used for pulp and paper making by kraft and refining processes and a OD(EP)DP bleaching sequence. The same species has been suggested as an energy crop and, in fact, this species used shows a high gross heating value; besides, this variety of Leucaena has appropriate characteristics for pulp ...

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 ...

Harnessing Native Al/Si Impurities in Bamboo Black Liquor for Self‐Templated Closed‐Pore Hard Carbon Anodes

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A scalable strategy utilizing native impurities in bamboo lignin black liquor is proposed to construct a closed‐pore, rich hard carbon. Controlled impurity removal and high‐temperature reconstruction enable the conversion of open pores into abundant closed pores, thereby promoting sodium cluster storage.
