With the advancements of technology and its increasing use in all spheres of life, clinicians too are faced with the decision of whether to adopt or refrain from adopting certain innovations in their practice. This article discusses the process of adopting clinical innovations within a theoretical framework, namely diffusion of innovations theory (DIT; Rogers, 2003). DIT constructs are applied to the example of online therapy adoption into clinical practice. Nine adoption barriers are identified, including issues of dehumanizing the therapeutic environment, start-up cost and reimbursement, infrastructure and training, licensure and jurisdiction concerns, ethical guidelines, both client and clinician suitability factors, and professional reputation and acceptance within the field. The authors conclude with a theory-based discussion of activities that may help to accelerate the adoption of online therapy among professional psychologists.

Background: Collaborative Workspaces are rapidly growing and evolving across the world. Traditionally understood as an urban phenomenon, most research understands them as either 'entrepreneurial-led', as profit-driven and commercial spaces such as business incubators and accelerators, or 'community-led' as being bottom-up, not-for-profit ventures aimed at catering for the needs of their community. Recent years however have seen their diffusion beyond large urban agglomerations to small towns and villages, with their functions assumed to be more community-orientated.

Extant research has widely acknowledged the role of digital innovation as a facilitator of digital transformation, presenting solutions for various challenges in various industries. However, prior research demonstrates inadequate discussions on the determinants of digital innovation adoption for digital transformation in developing countries, particularly in the agricultural sector. To address this gap, this study investigates the effect of food security awareness, innovation characteristics, and the moderating role of agricultural experience on behavioral intention to adopt digital innovation in the agricultural sector.

Effects of porous hedgehog-like morphology and graphene oxide on the cycling stability and rate performance of CoO/NiO microspheres.

Nanoscale Horiz

January 2025

Laboratory of Advanced Materials, Shanghai Key Lab of Molecular Catalysis and Innovative Materials, Academy for Engineering & Technology, Advanced Coatings Research Center of Ministry of Education of China, Fudan University, Shanghai 200438, P. R. China.

A porous hedgehog-like CoO/NiO/graphene oxide (denoted as PHCNO/GO) microsphere was prepared by a facile solvothermal method, followed by an annealing treatment under argon atmosphere. Benefiting from the thin CoO/NiO nanosheets with a large specific surface area, abundant pores distributed between the CoO/NiO nanosheets, and GO firmly wrapped around the surface of PHCNO microspheres, the PHCNO/GO microspheres showed excellent lithium storage performance. The CoO/NiO nanosheets provided numerous active sites, achieving a high reversible specific capacity.

High Entropy Fine-Tuning Achieves Fast Li Kinetics in High-Performance Co-Free High-Ni Layered Cathodes.

Adv Mater

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Power Station Energy Transfer Conversion and System of Ministry of Education and School of Energy Power and Mechanical Engineering, and Beijing Laboratory of New Energy Storage Technology, North China Electric Power University, Beijing, 102206, China.

Co-free high-Ni layered cathode materials LiNiMeO (Me = Mn, Mg, Al, etc.) are a key part of the next-generation high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high specific capacity and low cost. However, the hindered Li kinetics and the high reactivity of Ni result in poor rate performance and unsatisfied cycling stability.
