Hybrid Photoanodes Based on Surface-Bound Host-Guest Molecular Assemblies

Academic Background In the field of solar energy conversion, molecular catalysts have attracted significant attention due to their high activity and structural tunability. However, most molecular catalysts operate under homogeneous conditions, which are not favorable for large-scale and recyclable utilization. Therefore, immobilizing molecular cata...

Synthesis of Securingine B Enables Photoresponsive Materials Design

Research Background Natural products have long played a crucial role in drug discovery, providing many biologically active compounds and fundamental principles for drug development. However, the synthetic exploration of natural products is not limited to the pharmaceutical field; their applications in materials science are gradually gaining attenti...

A Sparse Bayesian Committee Machine Potential for Oxygen-Containing Organic Compounds

Academic Background In the fields of materials science and chemistry, understanding the properties of materials at the atomic level is crucial. However, traditional methods for calculating interatomic potentials, such as Density Functional Theory (DFT), while highly accurate, are computationally expensive and difficult to apply to large-scale syste...

Impact of Carbon Dioxide Loading on the Thermal Conductivity of Metal Organic Frameworks

Academic Background The issue of global warming is becoming increasingly severe, and the research on carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture and storage technologies has become a hotspot in the scientific community, as CO₂ is one of the most significant greenhouse gases. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), with their exceptionally high porosity and surface area,...

A Pickering-Emulsion-Droplet-Integrated Electrode for the Continuous-Flow Electrosynthesis of Oximes

Cyclohexanone oxime is a critical intermediate in the production of nylon-6, with global nylon-6 production projected to reach 8.9 million tons by 2024, leading to an increasing demand for cyclohexanone oxime. Traditional methods for synthesizing cyclohexanone oxime primarily involve the reaction of hydroxylamine (NH2OH) with cyclohexanone. However...
