Fluorene-based enamines as low-cost and dopant-free hole transporting materials for high performance and stable perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Kasparas Rakstys, Albertus Adrian Sutanto

The power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells is approaching the Shockley-Queisser limit, and therefore this technology is next to the commercialization stage. Inexpensive and stable hole transporting materials are highly desirable for the succ ...

Nickel catalysis enables convergent paired electrolysis for direct arylation of benzylic C-H bonds

Xile Hu, Lei Zhang

Convergent paired electrosynthesis is an energy-efficient approach in organic synthesis; however, it is limited by the difficulty to match the innate redox properties of reaction partners. Here we use nickel catalysis to cross-couple the two intermediates ...

Catalyst design for C-O bond hydrogenolysis of renewable materials.

Antoine Philippe Van Muyden

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions leading to climate change require to use of renewable carbon sources such as CO2 and biomass which differ from fossil resources by having a higher number of oxygen atoms. Therefore, catalytic C-O bond cleavage will pl ...

Synthetic Studies toward Amanita Phalloides Toxins

Philipp Georg Werner Seeberger

Amatoxins are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified bicyclic octapeptides biosynthesized by the deadly basidiomycete fungus Amanita phalloides. Amongst this group, alpha-amanitin is the most widely known toxin and is currently under inv ...

Metal-Sulfide Catalysts Derived from Lignosulfonate and their Efficient Use in Hydrogenolysis

Paul Joseph Dyson, Xile Hu, Zhaofu Fei, Antoine Philippe Van Muyden, Xiang Li, Lichen Bai, Xinjiang Cui, Sijie Liu

Catalytic lignosulfonate valorization is hampered by the in situ liberation of sulfur that ultimately poisons the catalyst. To overcome this limitation, metal sulfide catalysts were developed that are able to cleave the C-O bonds of lignosulfonate and are ...
