High performance of multi-layered alternating Ni–Fe–P and Co–P films for hydrogen evolution

Judiciously engineering the electrocatalysts is attractive and challenging to exploit materials with high electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction. Herein, we successfully perform the interface engineering by alternately depositing Co–P and Ni–Fe–P films on nickel foam, via facile electroless plating and de-alloying process. This work shows that there is a significant effect of de-alloying process on alloy growth. The electronic structure of layered alloys is improved by interface engineering. The multilayer strategy significantly promotes the charge transfer. Importantly, the Co–P/Ni–Fe–P/NF electrode fabricated by interface engineering exhibits excellent electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity with an overpotential of 43.4 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and long-term durability for 72 h in alkaline medium (1 mol L-1 KOH). The innovative strategy of this work may aid further development of commercial electrocatalysts.     

Accumulation of potentially toxic trace elements (PTEs) by native plant species growing in a typical gold mining area located in the northeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Environmental Science and Pollution Research - Though gold mines provide significant economic benefits to local governments, mining causes soil pollution by potentially toxic trace elements (PTEs)...     

Assessing economic sustainability and ecological efficiency with genuine progress indicator: a case study of the Yangtze River Delta from 2000 to 2018

To achieve urban sustainability, it is critical to enhance the environment, economy, and society simultaneously. This study adopted the revised genuine progress indicator (GPI) and ecological footprint (EF) to evaluate the ecological efficiency and economic sustainability of the Yangtze River Delta from 2000 to 2018. Spatial analysis was utilized to identify spatial autocorrelation. A total of 27 cities were then partitioned through k-means cluster analysis. The results showed that GPI and ecological efficiency improved rapidly, but economic sustainability showed a downward trend. GPI and GDP had a high degree of spatial correlation, especially in Suzhou-Wuxi-Changzhou Metropolitan Area. However, no spatial correlation existed between GPI and EF. The city with high GEE can reach 3000 $/gha, indicating the city consumed 1 global hectare to create $3000 of genuine economic growth. Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Taizhou were cities with the highest level of economic sustainability and ecological efficiency. The spatiotemporal characteristics of economic sustainability and ecological efficiency revealed in this study will provide theoretical guidance for alleviating ecological pressure and promoting economic sustainable development.

基于GIS的地震构造信息系统

本文讨论了地震构造信息系统的建造和信息管理。系统是以GIS工具软件ARC/INFO为开发平台建造的,原始资料复盖华北地区的大部,约北纬35～41度,东经109～120度。系统包括活动断裂、破坏性地震、仪器记录地震等信息。本文深入研究了GIS做为信息管理工具的能力,探讨了GIS在地震区划图编制中可能起到的作用。系统能使地震危险分析中信息管理方式、信息管理效率和利用率有质的改进,在某种程度上减小资料利用不充分和人为任意性引起的不确定性。作为一种探索,本文进行了一系列的空间操作和分析,以研究空间特征之间的相关性,并产生新的数据集合。     

重庆市生态足迹时间序列动态特征及其驱动因子分析

生态足迹是近年来广泛用于评价区域发展可持续性的重要方法.基于生态足迹计算模型,利用自然资源和能源消费的统计数据,对重庆市1997-2005年的人均生态足迹序列进行了计算;在此基础上,根据区域社会经济发展与生态足迹变化的作用机理选择了6个社会经济发展相关指标作为自变量,运用主成分回归方法,建立了人均生态足迹的驱动因子分析模型,揭示了驱动生态足迹序列变化的主要因素.计算结果显示,直辖以来,重庆市人均生态足迹总体呈上升趋势,由1997年的1.1244hm2增加到2005年的1.490 3 hm2,而由于耕地占用等原因,人均生态承载力却在逐年减少,从1997年的0.507 5 hm2减少到2005年的0.465 2 hm2,导致该地区人均生态赤字逐年扩大,呈相对不可持续发展状态.驱动力分析模型表明:重庆市社会经济发展对人均生态足迹增长具有强烈的驱动作用.直辖以来,一方面随着工业化、城镇化进程的加快以及消费水平的提升,人均生态足迹也相应同步增长;而另一方面,由于目前的产业和工业结构调整力度有限,因此它们尚未有效发挥降低区域生态足迹的作用.     

稻草型生物有机肥对萝卜的作用效果

为推广应用稻草型生物有机肥,采用田间小区试验研究了稻草型生物有机肥对萝卜(Raphanus sativus)功能叶叶绿素含量、碳氮代谢关键酶活性、萝卜产量和品质的影响.结果表明:稻草型生物有机肥处理Ⅰ与等NPK养分施用量的纯化肥处理Ⅱ和菜枯肥处理Ⅲ相比,可提高萝卜功能叶叶绿素含量、防止功能叶早衰;提高硝酸还原酶、蔗糖合成酶、蔗糖磷酸合成酶三种碳氮代谢关键酶活性.处理Ⅰ使萝卜的产量分别比处理Ⅱ和处理Ⅲ提高4.48%、6.01%,维生素C分别提高22.48%、28.24%,可溶性糖含量分别提高10.39%、19.91%,萝卜硝酸盐含量分别下降8.78%和16.67%,且以上4个指标处理Ⅰ与处理Ⅱ和处理Ⅲ的差异均达极显著水平,此外亚硝酸盐含量也明显降低.     

Emissions trading of global and local pollutants, pollution havens and free riding

In the presence of local (sulfur) and global (carbon) pollutants, we examine the pollution haven hypothesis and free riding behavior. Under domestic emissions trading, poorer Southern countries become pollution havens when free trade opens up whenever sulfur damage functions are linear or when sulfur levels in equilibrium are not higher in the South. With global trading of carbon permits, the pollution haven effect emerges in equilibrium whenever the convex sulfur damage functions are nonlinear. Countries that do not participate in a Global Protocol designed to reduce carbon emissions enjoy double benefits, stemming from free riding and cleaner local environments.
