“…Although many people feel that others rather than themselves are threatened by the pandemic, they engage in prosocial action that lets others bene t from their own behavior. The key question of Bouman et al 10 is to what extent can one learn from the pandemic to promote the mitigation of global environmental crises. One potential answer is that the COVID-19 pandemic has increased environmental awareness of people worldwide.…”

Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has been a global threat to humankind. In addition to many cases of illness and millions of deaths, the economy has suffered. Not surprisingly, vehicle sales have declined sharply in most countries by up to 25%. Overall, however, sales of electric vehicles (EVs) did not stall but increased to previously forecasted levels. Is this increase evidence that COVID-19 has promoted sustainable action and strengthened environmental awareness, as researchers have discussed in recently published articles? This study examines the causal effect of COVID-19 on environmental concern and behavior by assessing vehicle buyers’ decision process regarding EVs after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Environmental pollution is wreaking havoc on countries all over the world today. Environmental issues are compelling governments, businesses, and consumers to collaborate to mitigate environmental damage. The concept of remanufacturing or refurbishing products has recently gained popularity. This study attempted to identify the determinants of intention to adopt refurbished apparel (IARA). Attribution Theory classified the set of independent variables into two categories namely intrinsic (customer behavior, customer value, and green awareness) and extrinsic (government policies, technological advancements, and reverse logistics). An econometric model was proposed to validate the association between the dependent variable (IARA) and these independent variables. Logistic regression is applied to a survey‐based dataset of 210 respondents. The findings significantly validate the association of internal and external variables with IARA. In addition, it was inferred that the internal variables have greater impact than the external variables.

Two‐dimensional materials with active sites are expected to replace platinum as large‐scale hydrogen production catalysts. However, the rapid discovery of excellent two‐dimensional hydrogen evolution reaction catalysts is seriously hindered due to the long experiment cycle and the huge cost of high‐throughput calculations of adsorption energies. Considering that the traditional regression models cannot consider all the potential sites on the surface of catalysts, we use a deep learning method with crystal graph convolutional neural networks to accelerate the discovery of high‐performance two‐dimensional hydrogen evolution reaction catalysts from two‐dimensional materials database, with the prediction accuracy as high as 95.2%. The proposed method considers all active sites, screens out 38 high performance catalysts from 6,531 two‐dimensional materials, predicts their adsorption energies at different active sites, and determines the potential strongest adsorption sites. The prediction accuracy of the two‐dimensional hydrogen evolution reaction catalysts screening strategy proposed in this work is at the density‐functional‐theory level, but the prediction speed is 10.19 years ahead of the high‐throughput screening, demonstrating the capability of crystal graph convolutional neural networks‐deep learning method for efficiently discovering high‐performance new structures over a wide catalytic materials space.
