Suppressing Dendrite Formation through Au‐Driven Interfacial Engineering for Solid‐State Lithium‐Metal Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A thin gold nanolayer on lithium metal enables stable and uniform lithium plating in solid‐state batteries, enabling nearly 1 year and 11 months of continuous operation. The conductive coating lowers interfacial resistance, suppresses dendrite growth, and improves cycling stability, attributed to homogeneous deposition of Li+ on the gold layer ...

Did the Indian Green Revolution Change the Farm Size–Productivity Relationship?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between farm size and productivity during India's Green Revolution, a period of rapid technological transformation. Using a unique panel of over 5000 Indian farm households that spans the Green Revolution (1971–1999), we show that the classic (linear) inverse farm size–productivity relationship gradually evolved ...

Markets Mitigate Land‐Use Competition From Energy Crops and Increase Farm Revenues

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Meeting the US Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge target of 35 billion gal annually by 2050 will require an estimated 380 million–700 million dry tons of agricultural biomass feedstock. This study evaluates the implications of large‐scale biomass production for land use, crop production, and market outcomes under mature market ...
