Dynamic restructuring of Cu-doped SnS2 nanoflowers for highly selective electrochemical CO2 reduction to formate by Chen, Mengxin, Wan, Shipeng, Zhong, Lixiang, Liu, Daobin, Yang, Hongbin, Li, Chengcheng, Huang, Zhiqi, Liu, Chuntai, Chen, Jian, Pan, Hongge, Li, Dong-Sheng, Li, Shuzhou, Yan, Qingyu, Liu, Bin

“…Theoretical thermodynamic analysis of reaction energetics indicates that the optimal electronic structure of the Sn active site can be regulated by both S-doping and Cu-alloying to favor formate formation, while the CO and H2 pathways will be suppressed. Our findings provide a rational strategy for electronic modulation of metal active site(s) for the design of active and selective electrocatalysts towards CO2 RR.…”

Fake news, real risks: how online discussion and sources of fact-check influence public risk perceptions toward nuclear energy by Ho, Shirley S., Chuah, Agnes Soo Fei, Kim, Nuri, Tandoc, Edson C.

“…Of those who participated in the online discussion, those who viewed a fact-check posted by traditional media have higher risk perception as compared to those who viewed a fact-check posted by a fact-check organization. Our findings indicate that different fact-checking sources can have differential effects on public risk perceptions, depending on whether online discussion is involved. …”

Impact of disruption on ship emissions in port: case of pandemic in Long Beach by He, Zhengxin, Lam, Jasmine Siu Lee, Liang, Maohan

“…The analysis compares data from three years before and after the pandemic to examine the relationship between ship waiting times, quantities, and emissions. The findings indicate that the majority of port-wide ship emissions are generated by berthing or anchoring vessels, from ship auxiliary engines and boilers. …”

The determinants of users' intention to adopt telehealth: health belief, perceived value and self-determination perspectives by Yuen, Kum Fai, Chua, Jie Ying, Li, Xue, Wang, Xueqin

“…Using an online survey conducted in Singapore, the study collected 500 responses for data analysis. The findings indicate that perceived threat, cues to action, and perceived relatedness directly affect perceived value, while self-efficacy, perceived relatedness, and perceived autonomy have a significant direct impact on emotion. …”
