Formation Mechanism of Elemental Te Produced in Tellurite Glass Systems by Femtosecond Laser Irradiation

The formation of elemental trigonal tellurium (t-Te) on tellurite glass surfaces exposed to femtosecond laser pulses is discussed. Specifically, the underlying elemental crystallization phenomenon is investigated by altering laser parameters in common tell ...

Solar reduction of carbon dioxide on copper-tin electrocatalysts with energy conversion efficiency near 20%

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jing Gao, Meng Xia, Yuhang Liu, Dan Ren, Jun Li

Solar-driven carbon dioxide reduction has witnessed a renaissance in the past decades, but the system suffers from low reaction rates. Here the authors develop a copper/tin-oxide electrocatalyst, achieving a new benchmark solar-to-CO energy conversion effi ...

Modular Synthesis of Benzocyclobutenes via Pd(II)-Catalyzed Oxidative [2+2] Annulation of Arylboronic Acids with Alkenes

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Takuji Fujii, Simone Gallarati

Benzocyclobutenes (BCBs) are highly valuable compounds in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. However, catalytic modular synthesis of functionalized BCBs from easily accessible starting materials remains limited. We report herein ...

Metal-Stabilized Boronate Ester Cages

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Erica Giraldi

Molecular cages with arylboronate ester caps at the vertices are described. The cages were obtained by metal-templated polycondensation reactions of a tris(2-formylpyridine oxime) ligand with arylboronic acids. Suited templates are triflate or triflimide s ...

Phase transformation induced distortions in red gold alloys

Margaux Nathalie Dominique Larcher

Red gold alloys owe their warm and attractive colour to the combination of gold and copper atoms. Thanks to their good mechanical properties and resistance to corrosion, red gold alloys are used in luxury industries as well as in dentistry. Around the equi ...

Machines for Materials and Materials for Machines: Metal-Insulator Transitions and Artificial Intelligence

Bernat Mundet

In this perspective, we discuss the current and future impact of artificial intelligence and machine learning for the purposes of better understanding phase transitions, particularly in correlated electron materials. We take as a model system the rare-eart ...

Evaluation of materials for iodine and technetium immobilization through sorption and redox-driven processes

Wendy Lee Queen, Daniel Teav Sun

Radioactive iodine-129 (I-129) and technetium-99 (Tc-9(9)) pose a risk to groundwater due to their long half-lives, toxicity, and high environmental mobility. Based on literature reviewed in Moore et al. (2019) and Pearce et aL (2019), natural and engineer ...

Colloidal-ALD-Grown Core/Shell CdSe/CdS Nanoplatelets as Seen by DNP Enhanced PASS-PIETA NMR Spectroscopy

David Lyndon Emsley, Brennan James Walder, Laura Piveteau

Ligand exchange and CdS shell growth onto colloidal CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs) using colloidal atomic layer deposition (c-ALD) were investigated by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments, in particular, dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) e ...

Desymmetrization of Prochiral Cyclopentenes Enabled by Enantioselective Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidative Heck Reaction

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Jian Cao, Guihua Chen

In the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(TFA)2 and a chiral Pyox ligand under oxygen atmosphere, oxidative Heck reaction between arylboronic acids and 4- substituted or 4,4-disubstituted cyclopent-1-enes afforded the chiral arylated products with concur ...
