Abstract The passive capture of clean water from humid air without reliance on bulky equipment and high energy has been a substantial challenge attracted significant interest as potential environmentally friendly alternative to traditional harvesting methods. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer for this application due their structural versatility which permits scalable, facile modulations functional elements. Although MOFs are promising materials harvesting, little research done address...
We report UV-cured eutectic gel polymer electrolytes that improve cell performance, non-flammability, and water tolerance compared to the liquid solvent.
We report UV-photopolymerized “water-in-bisalt” electrolytes that expand the electrochemical stability window, improving cycle life in lithium titanate full cells.
Prelithiation of LiMn 2 O 4 balances the low first cycle efficiency silicon anodes for improvements in energy density and prospective cell chemistry enabled by naturally abundant elements.
A modular substrate-controlled hexannulation of inherently promiscuous 1,3-azadienes with hexacyclic anhydrides, which affords versatile vicinally functionalized allylic lactams, in high yields, regio- and stereoselectivities is described.
The synthesis of α-aryl and alkenyl pyrrolidine-, piperidine-, azepane derivatives, through the intermediacy cyclic enamides is described. desired outcome achieved ruthenium-catalyzed, site-selective sp(2) C-H activation/cross-coupling with aryl boronic acids. regioselectivity (α-sp(2)vs. α-sp(3)vs. β-sp(2) functionalization) governed by rate differences between sp(3) activation necessity for chelation ruthenium metal carbonyl directing group.
A high-yielding, cost-effective, modular and environmentally benign approach to [5,5]- or [6,5]-2-azabicyclic architectures bearing vicinal stereocenters, by Fe-catalyzed dehydrative coupling of readily affordable alcohol-bearing allylic lactams is presented.
Nitrile-based electrolytes are attractive for low temperature Li-ion batteries.
Microbially-induced corrosion is the acceleration of induced by bacterial biofilms. The bacteria in biofilms oxidize metals on surface, especially evident with iron, to drive metabolic activity and reduce inorganic species such as nitrates sulfates. Coatings that prevent formation these corrosion-inducing significantly increase service life submerged materials decrease maintenance costs. One particular, a member Roseobacter clade, Sulfitobacter sp., has demonstrated iron-dependent biofilm...
A site-selective annulation reaction between cyclic α-chloro eneformamides and anhydrides which provides direct modular access to pharmaceutically pertinent izidinones isoquinolones, is presented.
We demonstrate that a hybrid electrolyte comprising an ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, and propylene carbonate, enable wide operational temperature window (−20 °C to 60 °C).
We report a low power ocean salinity sensor based on capacitance measurements. Our design compares two carefully tuned astable multivibrator oscillators to measure small frequency shifts in the sensing oscillator induced by changes salt concentration. Comparing difference number of cycles during measurement time interval enables calculation shift from which corresponding change is fitted. demonstrate this cycle-count comparison can be conducted without need for microcontroller very...
The Ru-catalyzed cross-coupling of enamides (I), (IV), and (X) with aryl boronic acids leads regioselectively to 2-aryl-dehydropyrrolidine (III), -dehydropiperidines (VI), -azepene (XI), respectively.
