Lattice strain can enhance the activity and selectivity of electrochemical reactions by breaking linear scaling relationship. Notwithstanding, explicit use to affect CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) is rarely reported. In this Perspective, we highlight opportunity CO2RR electrocatalysts. We summarize existing challenges in isolating influence from convoluting factors (e.g., size, shape, electronic, surfactant effects) that result typical methods inducing strain. also propose ways isolate...
Organic oxidation reactions can replace the anodic oxygen evolution of water splitting for clean hydrogen generation paired with high-value product.
The ever-growing demand for chiral small molecules on a global scale has set precedent the proliferation of cost-effective and reliable methods their synthesis separation. Of these methods, those based heterogeneous platforms present an unparalleled opportunity as they allow source chirality to be recycled. Chiral hybrid organosilica materials are one particularly interesting class that creates synergy between well-understood individual structural stability inertness inorganic silicon...
Electroactive biopolymer hydrogels have potential applications as soft actuators for biomedicine and robotics. Both free-standing films of biosourced cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) nanocomposite comprising CNCs hydrophilic polymers behave anionic polymer in response to an electric field. were incorporated into non-electroresponsive polyacrylamide yield materials with greater field-induced bending responses longer lifetimes than purely CNC films. The actuation rate CNC–polyacrylamide ionic...
The synthesis of highly ordered chiral periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) materials is described using a novel approach. Chiral dopants featuring removable chirality were combined with freely rotating bulk monomers, resulting in material handedness related to the dopant. Once incorporated into PMO, removal chiral-linker dopant readily accomplished and occurs complete preservation circular dichroism signal PMO material, whereas precursor molecule, this transformation would lead total loss...
Periodic mesoporous organosilicas containing biphenol bridging groups were modified post-synthesis to prepare aryl phosphate esters from the free diols.
