CuI and pyrazine form three hybrid materials, (Yellow), (Orange), and (Red). In this work, Red was prepared using a green synthetic method, water-assisted accelerated-aging synthesis, for the first time. The…
Nonaqueous redox flow batteries are a promising technology for grid-scale energy storage, however, their commercial success relies on identifying redox active materials that exhibit extreme potentials, high solubilities in all…
The diurnal day/night cycle is presently of {great|fantastic|excellent|wonderful|good|terrific} interest for harvesting solar {energy|power} aimed at rendering {suitable|appropriate} {energy|power} storage schemes. To this {end|finish} we present a noble-metal {free|totally free|free of…
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…
The overwinding and underwinding of duplex segments between junctions have been used in designing both left-handed and right-handed DNA origami nanostructures. For a variety of DNA tubes obtained from self-assembled…
Discrete nanocages provide a way to solubilize, separate, and tune the properties of molecular guests, including fullerenes and other aromatics. However, few such nanocages can be synthesized efficiently from inexpensive…
