In the backdrop of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the study examines the comparative asymmetric efficiency of dirty and clean energy markets pre and during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, we utilize an asymmetric multifractality detrended fluctuation analysis (A-MF-DFA). The study's findings uncover the presence of asymmetric multifractality in clean and dirty energy markets. In addition, multifractality in the energy markets is sensitive to trends, time horizon and major events. More importantly, the results suggest superior efficiency of clean-energy markets compared to conventional energies. We confirm the time-varying nature of market efficiency in the energy markets, and during the recent COVID-19 outbreak, market inefficiencies in the clean and dirty energy markets soared. In this way, the study holds meaningful insights for policymakers, energy policy practitioners, investors, and financial market participants to choose between clean (dirty) investments based on their asymmetric efficiency (inefficiency).

India is anticipated to grow its total energy consumption and CO emissions by more than any other country over the next two decades. India will have to attract around $400 billion in financing to realize its 500 GW target of renewable energy by 2030. Given complex renewable energy sector risks, rapidly scaling-up risk-friendly private equity financing will be critical to achieve India's target.

Direct chemical vapor deposition growth of high-quality graphene on dielectric substrates is a great challenge. Graphene growth on dielectrics always suffers from the issues of a high nucleation density and poor quality. Herein, a premelted-substrate-promoted selective etching (PSE) strategy was proposed.

Achieving the national climate target would depend on national actions. China has implemented important market mechanisms for a green and low-carbon energy transition, including the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), the Tradable Green Certificate (TGC) market, the green power trading market, and so on. However, how to effectively integrate coupled TGC and green power trading to achieve a balance between maximizing economic benefits and environmental friendliness remains to be explored.

Introduction: Families in Germany who live in poverty receive citizens' benefits (Bürgergeld) within the context of welfare legislation. Basic rates for children and adolescents are included in these benefits and staggered into three groups according to age. The need for nutrition is the largest category of the basic rate.

Realizing reliable online detection of characteristic gases (H, CH, CO, and CO) in lithium-ion batteries is crucial to maintain the safe and stable operation of power equipment and new energy storage power plants. In this study, transition metal Pt ( = 1, 3, and 4) clusters are attached to MoSe nanosheets for the first time based on density functional theory using the perfect crystalline facet modification method, and the adsorption characteristics and electronic behaviors of H, CH, CO, and CO are investigated and enhanced. The results show that Pt ( = 1, 3, and 4) is reliably chemically connected to the substrate without any significant deformation of the geometry.
