Amorphous MoSxCly electrocatalyst supported by vertical graphene for efficient electrochemical and photoelectrochemical hydrogen generation

Abstract: We report amorphous MoSxCly as a high-performance electrocatalyst for both electrochemical and photoelectrochemical hydrogen generation. This novel ternary electrocatalyst is synthesized via chemical vapour deposition at temperatures lower than those typically used to grow crystalline MoS2 nanostructures and structurally characterized. The MoSxCly electrocatalysts exhibit stable and high catalytic activity toward the hydrogen evolution reaction, as evidenced by large cathodic current densities at low overpotentials and low Tafel slopes (ca. 50 mV decade−1). The electrocatalytic performance can be further enhanced through depositing MoSxCly on conducting vertical graphenes. Furthermore, MoSxCly can be directly deposited on p-type silicon photocathodes to enable efficient photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution.

The J‐ and S‐curves: a survey of the recent literature

Abstract: Purpose – Since the introduction of the concepts of the J‐ and S‐curves, many researchers have tried to verify their validity empirically. This paper aims to review the related papers and to offer direction for future research.Design/methodology/approach – This is a review paper. As such, no method is employed here. Rather, the methodologies used by others to test the J‐ and S‐curves are explained and reviewed.Findings – No new findings are offered since this is a review paper.Practical implications – The J‐ and S‐curves show whether currency depreciation worsens the trade balance first before improving it. Since the majority of studies are country‐specific, policymakers could benefit by learning whether currency depreciation will be effective in improving the trade balance.Originality/value – This is a literature review paper and its originality is in terms of collecting the literature together and presenting it in one single paper.

Career Issues in International Assignments

Abstract: M uch research in international human resource management has focused on the selection and training of personnel for overseas assignments, such as the criteria for selecting candidates and training programs to prepare personnel for cross-cultural encounters. An often neglected area of research in international human resource management is what happens to the subsequent career path of the individual upon return. In other words, did the international assignment have a positive impact on the person's overall career development and subsequent advancement in the organization? In this article I will explore some of the career issues associated with repatriation. The findings presented here are based on in-depth interviews with the vice-president of foreign operations or the vice-president of human resources in 17 European, 18 Japanese, and 11 Australian multinationals. In many cases, people who have served on overseas assignments in their respective companies were also interviewed. These findings were compared with those from interviews with the director of human resource management in 20 U.S. multinationals and a questionnaire survey of 80 U.S. multinationals. (The multinationals from the various countries came from a variety of industries and services, including automobiles, banking and finance, steel and chemical manufacturing, general trading, and so on.)
