Abstract	The changes in the occurrence and intensity of precipitation have been widely observed around the world. However, exploring the causes of changes in precipitation remains challenging. To better explore the causes of precipitation changes, the evaporation sources of such precipitation were identified. The region from which evaporative sources contribute to precipitation in a sink region is called the precipitationshed. Based on the ERA5 reanalysis data, we identified the seasonal precipitationshed in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), one of the most densely urbanized regions in the world, using the Water Accounting Model‐2layer. The precipitationshed in the PRD has larger variation in summer and autumn, and differences in the responses of different types of precipitation to the change in the precipitationshed were identified. In autumn, results show that light precipitation increases when the evaporation contribution from the south is enhanced while heavy precipitation increases when the evaporation contribution from the northeast is enhanced in the PRD. The precipitationshed is influenced by natural climate variability. The identified differences in the response of different types of precipitation to the change in the precipitationshed further help us to better understand the influence of natural climate variability on precipitation. The influences of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), and North Atlantic Oscillation on different types of seasonal precipitation were investigated. For example, results show that more heavy precipitation is expected in the PRD in summer when the positive phase of IOD and the negative phase of ENSO occur simultaneously.

Abstract	The slope climbing of urban land expansion (SCUE) has become a ubiquitous phenomenon that results in distinctive characteristics in urban form, landscape, and governance. This phenomenon also results in challenges to sustainable urban development worldwide. However, some reports indicated that global urban land expansion is characterized by a slope-climbing trend. In our study, the global SCUE was quantified and evaluated based on the data from the satellite-based high-resolution (30 m) remote sensing at different levels (e.g., continental, national, and city levels) from 2000 to 2018. The results show that from 2000 to 2018, urban areas’ average slope increased globally from 3.60° to 3.70°. The decrease in the slope spectrum of the urban land expansion peak values from 25.67% in 2000 to 24.98% in 2018 indicates that global urban land expanded into high-slope areas in later years. In Asia, Oceania, and South America, severe SCUE processes resulted in increments of 1.59%, 1.03%, and 1.32% in urban areas with a slope of > 5°. Over the past 18 years, China has experienced a rapid SCUE process, as evidenced by the growth in the steepness of the slope spectrum and evenness of the slope spectrum. Compared with lowlands and mountains, hills exhibited pronounced SCUE. This finding reflects that hills are a key area of SCUE. Our study can provide new insights into the sustainability of urban economies, societies, management, and ecologies in hillside urbanization worldwide.

Abstract	China's rapid economic growth in recent decades has caused a growing problem of environmental pollution, which negatively impacts the physical and mental health of residents. In recent years, renewable energy has emerged as a promising solution to alleviate environmental pollution and improve residents' well-being. However, it is unknown whether renewable energy development can counterbalance the health impacts of environmental pollution. Therefore, we conducted a study using data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) to examine the impact of environmental pollution and renewable energy on the health of 20,694 residents. Our analysis showed that renewable energy development can partially offset the negative health effects of environmental pollution. Specifically, we found that a 1% increase in environmental pollution is linked to an average decrease of 0.0911% in physical health (PHY) and 0.0566% in mental health (MEN), whereas each 1% rise in renewable energy corresponds to an average increase of 0.2585% in PHY and 0.1847% in MEN. These positive effects apply to male and female residents, urban and rural residents, young and middle-aged adults, and people with low, medium, and high levels of education. These findings are significant for decision-makers striving to improve Chinese residents' physical and mental health by considering the specific impact of renewable energy and comprehensive environmental pollution.

Abstract	Rapid urbanization in China has led to an increasing problem of atmospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) pollution, which negatively impacts urban ecology and public health. Nitrogen dioxide is an important atmospheric pollutant, and quantitative spatio-temporal analysis and influencing factor analysis of Chinese cities can help improve urban air pollution. In this study, the spatio-temporal analysis methods were used to explore the variations of NO₂ pollution in Chinese cities from 2005 to 2020. The findings are as follows. In more than half of Chinese cities, NO₂ levels remarkably decreased between 2005 and 2020. The effective NO₂ reduction strategies contributed to the significant NO₂ reduction during the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016–2020). Moreover, we found that the pandemic of COVID-19 alleviated NO₂ pollution in China since it reduced the traffic, industrial, and living activities. The NO₂ pollution in Chinese cities was found highly spatially clustered. The geographically and temporally weighted regression model was used to analyze the spatio-temporal heterogeneity of NO₂ pollution influencing factors in Chinese cities, including natural meteorological and socio-economic factors. The results showed that the GDPPC, population densities, and ambient air pressure were positively correlated with NO₂ pollution. In contrast, the ratio of the tertiary to the secondary industry, temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity negatively impacted the NO₂ pollution level. The findings of this research contribute to the improvement of urban air quality, stimulating the achievements of the sustainable development goals of Chinese cities.

Abstract	Achieving sustainability is the key to a better future, which requires an accurate assessment of current and historic levels of sustainability at scales that can help targeted interventions. Yet, current assessments of sustainability are mostly focused at national and subnational levels that often fail to capture local and regional variations, especially in regions where management interventions are most needed. A grid-cell level analysis that can yield high-resolution maps of sustainability indices could address this challenge. This study aims to present the first high-resolution map of China's sustainability which integrates the social, economic, and environmental dimensions . The grid level sustainability maps reveal over 1.23 billion Chinese have been free from low sustainability area. There are large variations in sustainability across China with only 2.3% of the country in high sustainability zone and over 140 million, mostly in the northern and northeastern regions, inhabiting under low sustainability conditions. A lower sustainability index within each province is usually accompanied by higher variations of the index suggesting a lack of coordination and greater inequality between and within provinces. Our high-resolution maps of China's sustainability index provide valuable insights into the spatial distribution of sustainability in the country and could help policymakers identify regions to implement targeted interventions.

Abstract	There are various empirical models used in the estimation of global solar radiation; however, knowledge of direct and diffuse solar radiation is insufficient. Global solar radiation is the sum of direct and diffuse solar radiation, and a method that calculates global solar radiation from the estimated direct and diffuse solar radiation was further proposed in this study. The observed daily solar radiation and meteorological data from 97 stations during 1993–2016 were used for the analysis, and the results indicated that the concave-shaped relationship with relative sunshine duration was more obvious for direct solar radiation than for global solar radiation, while an inverted u-shaped relationship was found for diffuse solar radiation. Generally, the performances of empirical models in estimating direct and diffuse solar radiation were worse than the estimation of global solar radiation. However, because the bias of estimated direct and diffuse solar radiation was partially offset, the results in this study indicated that global solar radiation can be better calculated from the estimated direct and diffuse solar radiation when compared with the best performed empirical model, especially in data-scarce regions. The results of this study will aid in better estimations and understanding of the variations in global solar radiation, as well as direct and diffuse solar radiation.

Abstract	To recover the global economy, China in 2013 called for a new global strategy, namely, "One Belt and One Road Initiative" (BRI), which aims at reinforcing regional economic cooperation, enhancing regional collaboration of economic policy, and realizing the goal of rapid economic development of member countries. Accelerating industrialization not only has been recognized as an effective way to stimulate economic development, but also lead to the serious issue of environmental pollution, which challenges the environmental sustainability. In this study, we focus on the industrializing region as a study area to investigate the driving factors of environmental pollution. Technically, we utilized satellite observation technique to obtain NO

Abstract	Liquid-phase shear exfoliation (LPSE) is a potential method of large-scale production of good-quality graphene. Obtaining few-layer (<10) graphene with large lateral sizes and high yields remains a challenging issue. Here, we report an improved LPSE processing method involving the addition of mica plates, which serve as bifunctional agents. With the addition of 100 g L⁻¹ of mica, the LPSE (9000 rpm/0.24 mm/1 h) of expanded graphite offers ∼100% few-layer graphene with average lateral sizes (ALSs) of ∼2.8 μm and yields of up to 27% (the highest ever reported). The graphene produced by LPSE without any additives, however, contains only ∼77% few-layer nanosheets, and has ALSs of ∼1.3 μm and yields of 8%. Significantly, the addition of SiO₂ microspheres as a comparison has almost no influence on the LPSE. The mica plates control the vector of fluids in LPSE and guide the oriented arrangement of the layered materials (e.g., expanded graphite), leading to significantly improved LPSE efficiency. 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with improved yields were also successfully prepared using LPSE with the addition of mica.
