Enhance performance in manufacturing carbon emission (MCE) reduction has become a widespread consensus and a necessary part, which cannot be achieved without the joint participation of manufacturing enterprises and supervisory departments. Accordingly, how to coordinate the interests of both sides and design a reasonable incentive-compatible mechanism becomes an urgent task at present. Considering the two subsidy funding channels of peer funds and government finance, this study applies the evolutionary game model to analyze feasible schemes for designing incentive-compatible mechanism of MCE supervision, discusses and simulates the realistic scenarios and influencing factors of incentive-compatible mechanism under the non-subsidized and subsidized schemes. The results show that MCE supervision is in an incentive-incompatible state under the non-subsidized incentive scheme, while in a constrained incentive-compatible state under the subsidized incentive scheme. With the increase of peer funds and penalty coefficient or the decrease of subsidy coefficient, the period of MCE supervision to reach an incentive-compatible state becomes shorter. However, a lower peer fund and penalty coefficient or a higher subsidy coefficient will contribute to a state of incentive-incompatible or a periodic cycle state of "incentive-compatible → incentive-incompatible →incentive-compatible→..." in the MCE supervision.

Supercapacitor is an important energy storage device widely used in the automobile industry, military production, and communication equipment because of its fast charge‐discharge rate, and high power density. Herein, carbon quantum dots modified and Y3+ doped Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4 (NiY@CQDs) nanospheres are prepared by a solvothermal method and used as an electrode material. The electrochemical properties of NiY@CQDs were measured in a three‐electrode system. An asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) cell was assembled with activated carbon (AC) as the anode and NiY@CQDs as the cathode. The electrochemical properties of the ASC device were measured in a two‐electrode system. Experimental results show the shape of NiY@CQDs is petal‐shaped and the introducing carbon quantum dots and doping Y3+ significantly increases the specific surface area, conductivity, and specific capacitance of Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4. The mass‐specific capacitance of NiY@CQDs reaches up to 2944 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1. The asymmetric supercapacitor of NiY@CQDs//AC has a high energy density of 138.65 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 1500 W kg−1, displaying a wide range of application prospects in the energy storage area.

Metal–organic framework compounds are extensively utilized in various fields, such as electrode materials, owing to their distinctive porous structure and significant specific surface area. In this study, NiCoAl-MOF metal–organic framework precursors were synthesized by a solvothermal method, and NiAl2O4/NiCo2O4 electrode materials were prepared by the subsequent calcination of the precursor. These materials were characterized by XRD, XPS, BET tests, and SEM, and the electrochemical properties of the electrode materials were tested by CV and GCD methods. BET tests showed that NiAl2O4/NiCo2O4 has an abundant porous structure and a large specific surface area of up to 105 m2 g−1. The specific capacitance of NiAl2O4/NiCo2O4 measured by the GCD method reaches up to 2870.83 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1. The asymmetric supercapacitor NiAl2O4/NiCo2O4//AC assembled with activated carbon electrodes has a maximum energy density of 166.98 W h kg−1 and a power density of 750.00 W kg−1 within a voltage window of 1.5 V. In addition, NiAl2O4/NiCo2O4 materials have good cycling stability. These advantages make it a good candidate for the application of high-performance supercapacitors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is shown that the uniform radius of spatial analyticity σ (t) of solutions at time t to the Ostrovsky equation with positive dispersion cannot decay faster than | t | − 4 3 as | t | → ∞ given initial data that is analytic with fixed radius σ 0 . The main ingredients in the proof are almost conservation law for the solution to the Ostrovsky equation in space of analytic functions and space-time dyadic bilinear estimates associated with the Ostrovsky equation.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been deemed as one of the promising noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), but it suffers from the inert basal plane and low electronic conductivity. Regulating the morphology of MoS2 during the synthesis on conductive substrates is a synergistic strategy for enhancing the HER performance. In this work, vertical MoS2 nanosheets were fabricated on carbon cloth (CC) using an atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition method. The growth process could be effectively tuned through introducing hydrogen gas during vapor deposition process, resulting in nanosheets with increased edge density. The mechanism for edge-enriching through controlling the growth atmosphere is systematically studied. The as-prepared MoS2 exhibits excellent HER activity due to the combination of optimized microstructures and coupling with CC. Our findings provide new insights to design advanced MoS2-based electrocatalysts for HER. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is devoted to studying the convergence problem of free reduced Ostrovsky equation in Fourier–Lebesgue spaces with rough data and the stochastic continuity of free reduced Ostrovsky equation in Fourier–Lebesgue spaces with random data. On the one hand, we establish the pointwise convergence related to the free reduced Ostrovsky equation in Fourier–Lebesgue spaces Ĥ 1 p , p 2 (R) (4 ≤ p < ∞) with rough data. In particular, we show that s ≥ 1 p is the necessary condition for the maximal function estimate in Ĥ s , p 2 (R) , which means that s = 1 p is optimal for rough data. On the other hand, we present the stochastic continuity of free reduced Ostrovsky equation at t = 0 in Fourier–Lebesgue spaces L ̂ r (R) (2 ≤ r < ∞) with random data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Co3O4/Bi4O7/Bi2O3 (CBB) composites were prepared, in which Co3O4 was synthesized from Co-MOF as precursor. The peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activated by CBB catalyst under visible light was used to degrade tetracycline (TC). Owing to the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and PMS activation, 98.4% of TC was removed within 60 min. The optimal loading of Co3O4 was determined, and the influence of PMS dosage, initial pH, and disturbing anions on the degradation effect were investigated. The "CBB + Vis + PMS" system showed good reusability, and the degradation was only reduced by 1.7% after 5 cycles. This system also had a good degradation of other five pollutants. The quenching experiment showed that holes (h+), superoxide radicals (·O2−), and singlet oxygen (1O2) were the main active species. The degradation products of TC were determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the degradation pathway was proposed. Finally, a double Z-scheme degradation mechanism was proposed in the "CBB + Vis + PMS" system. The peroxymonosulfate activated by CBB under visible light to degrade organic pollutants has widespread application prospects in environmental remediation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lipotoxicity and unresolved oxidative stress are key drivers of metabolic inflammation in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). cAMP-response element binding protein H(CREBH) is a liver-specific transcription factor and regulates the glucose and lipid metabolism of NASH. However, its role in mitochondrial oxidative stress and its association with sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a master regulator of deacetylation for mitochondrial proteins, remains elusive. In this study, AML-12 cells were treated with palmitic acid to imitate the pathological changes of NASH in vitro and 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were fed with a high-fat (HF) diet or a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet to build the widely accepted in vivo model of NASH. We found that lipid overload induced mitochondrial oxidative stress and stimulated the expression of CREBH and SIRT3. CREBH overexpression alleviated the mitochondrial oxidative stress. Moreover, CREBH promoted SIRT3 expression, which regulated the deacetylation of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and inhibited NOD-Like Receptor Pyrin Domain Containing 3 (Nlrp3) inflammasome activation whereas suppression of SIRT3 damaged the protecting ability of CREBH in mitochondrial oxidative stress. CREBH knockout mice were highly susceptible to HF and MCD diet-induced NASH with more severe oxidative stress. Collectively, our results firstly provided the support that CREBH could serve as a protective factor in the progression of NASH by regulating the acetylation of MnSOD and the activation of Nlrp3 inflammasome through SIRT3. These results suggest that CREBH might be a valuable therapeutic candidate for NASH.
