Density functional theory calculations together with ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations have been used to study the solvation, diffusion and transformation of Li+ and LiO2 upon O2 reduction in…
Sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) click chemistry provides a powerful tool for rapid construction of modular connections. Here, we report a novel catalytic silicon-free SuFEx reaction with sulfonyl fluorides. Under the…
An environmentally benign supercapacitor is developed incorporating an ionic liquid, carbon powder, a cellulose separator and a Molybdenum electrode. The ionic liquid is dispersed into a water-dissolvable polymer, poly(vinyl alcohol),…
Brevicidine and laterocidine are two recently discovered lipopeptide antibiotics with promising antibacterial activity. Possessing a macrocyclic core, multiple positive charges, and a lipidated N-terminus, these lipopeptides exhibit potent and selective…
Natural and artificial autonomous molecular machines operate by constantly dissipating energy coming from an external source to maintain a non-equilibrium state. The in-depth study of these dissipative states is highly…
