Chapter 6: China: a focus on local policy: Regional differences in the policy initiatives for entrepreneurial activities
Full text linkThis chapter focuses on local public policies relevant to small and medium-sized (SME) development and entrepreneurship in China. Previous research has mainly been concerned with specific policies and programmes promoting innovative SMEs and entrepreneurship at the national level. Using documents on entrepreneurship policy initiatives and datasets on SME development in two contrasting provinces covering a period of ten years, entrepreneurship policy in China is shown to be more complex than in most other countries, serving not only entrepreneurial activities but also institutional transition. Geographic disparities in SME development and entrepreneurship are demonstrated through detailed analysis undertaken in Guangdong and Sichuan. Whilst there are marked differences in the policy priorities in Guangdong and Sichuan, all levels of government share a common goal to promote entrepreneurship and innovation

Space-Confined Growth of MoS<sub>2</sub> Nanosheets within Graphite: The Layered Hybrid of MoS<sub>2</sub> and Graphene as an Active Catalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction
No full textSince the electrocatalytic activity
of layered molybdenum disulfide
(MoS<sub>2</sub>) for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) closely depends
on its exposed edges, the morphology and size of the material are
critically important. Herein, we introduce a novel solvent-evaporation-assisted
intercalation method to fabricate the hybrid of alternating MoS<sub>2</sub> sheets and reduced graphene oxide layers, in which the nanosize
of the MoS<sub>2</sub> nanosheets can be effectively controlled by
leveraging the confinement effect within the two-dimensional graphene
layers. Significantly, the resulting MoS<sub>2</sub>/reduced graphene
oxide (RGO) composite shows excellent catalytic activity for HER characterized
by higher current densities and lower onset potentials than the conventional
pre-exfoliated RGO supported MoS<sub>2</sub> nanosheets. Further experiments
on the effect of oxidation degree of graphene, the crystallinity of
MoS<sub>2</sub>, and the exposed active site density on the HER performance
of the MoS<sub>2</sub>/RGO composites show that there is an optimum
condition for the catalytic activity of HER due to a balance between
the numbers of exposed active sites of MoS<sub>2</sub> and the internal
conductive channels provided by graphene
