Transition metal sulfides (TMSs), as highly promising candidate anode materials, are gradually attracting the attention for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) recently on account of its multiple valence states as well as considerable capacity. Nevertheless, TMSs have relatively low inherent electronic...

This study, based on a real problem in the industrial gas business, examines product bundling under B2B relations with two unique customer behavioral characteristics: (i) customers' discount expectation on products increases with the magnitude of the business offered to the seller, and (ii) they...

Hong and Kacperczyk (2010) document that decreases in analyst competition due to broker mergers encourage analysts to please managers, leading to greater consensus optimism bias. We propose two addition effects of analyst competition. The hardworking hypothesis suggests that lower competition...

This paper attempts to distinguish between rational and behavioral explanations for the gross profitability effect in the international setting. Using data from 41 countries over the period 1980-2010, we find that in most countries, firms with higher gross profitability subsequently experience...

Abstract: Hybrid supercapacitors (HSC) have the advantages of high output power and long service life, and are considered as a kind of efficient and practical energy storage device. For improve the electrochemical performance in terms of specific capacitance, rate performance and cyclic...

The preparation of the maple leaf-like MnO2-SiO2@PDA biomimetic composites not only overcame the problem of easy agglomeration of nanoparticles, but also provided rich functional groups, large specific surface areas and good stability, achieving the efficient sorption of Cu(II), Cd(II) and...

In this paper, we study whether firm intangible information affects analyst behavior. We find direct evidence that when analysts make more judgment-intensive decisions, such as issuing stock recommendations, they overweight intangible information, leading to overreaction to intangible...

Hong and Kacperczyk (2010) document that decreases in analyst competition due to broker mergers encourage analysts to please managers, leading to greater consensus optimism bias. We propose three additional effects of analyst competition. The analyst effort hypothesis suggests that weaker...
