TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper compared the distribution and areas of existing mangroves among selected provinces of China, discussed the issues associated with mangrove conservation and restoration and highlighted major progress on research conducted by key institutions or universities in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao.
Abstract: Aims In this paper, we highlighted some key progresses in mangrove conservation, restoration and research in China during last two decades. Methods Based on intensive literature review, we compared the distribution and areas of existing mangroves among selected provinces of China, discussed the issues associated with mangrove conservation and restoration and highlighted major progresses on mangrove research conducted by key institutions or universities in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao. Important findings The population boom and rapid economic developments have greatly reduced mangrove areas in China since 1980s, leaving only 22 700 ha mangroves in mainland China in 2001. Chinese government has launched a series of programs to protect mangroves since 1980s and has established mangrove ecosystems as high-priority areas for improving environmental and living resource management. During last three decades, a total of 34 natural mangrove conservation areas have been established, which accounts for 80% of the total existing mangroves areas in China. Mangrove restoration areas in Mainland China accounted for <7% of the total mangroves areas in 2002. A great deal of research papers on Chinese mangroves has been published in international journals. However, more systematic protection strategies and active restoration measurements are still urgently needed in order to preserve these valuable resources in China.

TL;DR: Using data from 123 U.S. based MNEs over a seven‐year period and leveraging both sales‐based and subsidiary‐based measures for diversification, it is found that performance increases at an increasingly higher rate as firms concentrate more heavily on intra‐regional diversification.
Abstract: Engaging the debate regarding the appropriate level of geographic diversification for multinational enterprises (MNEs), we examine a critical, yet unresolved, question: How is performance impacted by the MNE's level of intra- and inter-regional diversification versus the total level of geographic diversification? Using data from 123 U.S.-based MNEs over a seven-year period and leveraging both sales-based and subsidiary-based measures for diversification, we find that performance increases at an increasingly higher rate as firms concentrate more heavily on intra-regional diversification. Regarding inter-regional diversification and total geographic diversification, we find inverted-U relationships to exist between firm performance and the level of geographic diversification. Different from recent research on multinationality, our robustness checks indicate no evidence of a sigmoidal relationship between the degree of regional diversification and performance.

TL;DR: This work realized unprecedented long cycle life with high reversible capacity as well as outstanding rate capability for KIBs by embedding red P into free-standing nitrogen-doped porous hollow carbon nanofibers (red P@N-PHCNFs).
Abstract: Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for large-scale renewable energy storage owning to the natural abundance and low cost of potassium. However, the biggest challenge for KIBs application lies in the lack of suitable electrode materials that can deliver long cycle life and high reversible capacity. In this work, we realized unprecedented long cycle life with high reversible capacity (465 mAh g–1 at 2 A g–1 after 800 cycles) as well as outstanding rate capability (342 mAh g–1 at 5 A g–1) for KIBs by embedding red P into free-standing nitrogen-doped porous hollow carbon nanofibers (red P@N-PHCNFs). This design circumvents the problems of pulverization and aggregation of P particles. The in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation reveals the structural robustness of the composite fibers during potassiation. The formation of P–C chemical bonds as well as nitrogen doping in the carbon matrix can facilitate the sturdy contact and enhance t...

TL;DR: In this paper, a direct reduction strategy was proposed to successfully realize the reduction of Eu3+ to Eu2+ and, finally, increase the effective concentration of the Eu 2+ in the crystal lattice and greatly minimize the amount of EU 3+ on the particle surface.
Abstract: β-Sialon:Eu2+ has been reported to be the most promising narrow-band green phosphor for wide color gamut LCD backlights, but the coexistence of the Eu3+ luminescence killer with the Eu2+ luminescence center limits its luminescence performance to a great extent. In this study, we propose a direct reduction strategy to successfully realize the reduction of Eu3+ to Eu2+ and, finally, increase the effective concentration of Eu2+ in the crystal lattice and greatly minimize the amount of Eu3+ on the particle surface. As a result, the luminescence of treated β-sialon:Eu2+ is enhanced by 2.3 times, and the internal quantum efficiency significantly increases from 52.2 to 96.5%. The mechanisms for such large enhancements in luminescence are clarified by investigating the microstructure, luminescence spectra, valence state, concentration, and distribution of Eu using a variety of chemical analyses. We find that the low efficiency is ascribed to the coexistence of the Eu3+ luminescence killer with the Eu2+ luminescen...
