We report SmCoO3 nanofibers as an efficient catalyst for nitrate reduction to ammonia. Such catalyst achieves a large NH3 yield of 14.4 mg h-1 mg-1cat and a high Faradaic efficiency...

As a measure to promote the reform of China’s ecological civilization system, the energy-consuming right trading policy has great potential to reduce pollutant emissions and achieve green development in China. Based on the panel data of 254 cities in China from 2005 to 2019, this paper uses difference-in-differences (DID) model and super-efficiency slacks-based measure (Super-SBM) to investigate the impact of energy-consuming right trading policy on the efficiency of urban green development. The findings are as follows. i) The energy-consuming right trading policy can significantly promote the efficiency of urban green development. The conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests. ii) The energy-consuming right trading policy can improve the efficiency of urban green development by promoting green technology innovation. This finding supports the Porter Hypothesis. iii) Heterogeneity analysis shows that the energy-consuming right trading policy can significantly improve the green development efficiency of cities in the eastern region. On the contrary, there is no significant effect on the green development efficiency of cities in the central and western regions. The government should expand the scope of energy-consuming right trading policy implementation according to local conditions. At the same time, the government should also stimulate enterprises to innovate green technologies and maximize the effect of the energyconsuming right trading policy on the efficiency of green development.
