Frechet-type core-functionalized chiral diamine-based dendritic ligands and hybrid dendritic ligands condensed from polyether wedge and Newkome-type poly(ether-amide) supported multiple ligands were designed and synthesized. The solubility of hybrid dendrimers was found to be finely controlled by the polyether dendron. The catalytic efficiency and recovery use of dendritic ruthenium complexes were compared in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone. The core-functionalized dendritic catalysts demonstrated much better recyclability, which verified the stabilizing effects of the bulky polyether wedge on the catalytically active complex. Moreover, the dendritic catalysts were applied in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones, enones, imine, and activated olefin, and moderate to excellent enantioselectivitiy was achieved comparable to that of monomeric catalysts.

Copper-based electrocatalysts are recognized as crucial catalysts for CO electroreduction into multi-carbon products. However, achieving copper-based electrocatalysts with adjustable valences via one-step facile synthesis remains a challenge. In this study, Cu/CuO heterostructure is constructed by adjusting the anion species of the Cu ions-containing electrolyte during electrodeposition synthesis.

The rational design of efficient electrocatalysts with controllable structure and composition is crucial for enhancing the lifetime and cost-effectiveness of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). PtCo nanocrystals have gained attention due to their exceptional activity, yet suffer from stability issues in acidic media. Herein, an active and highly stable electrocatalyst is developed, namely 3D PtCo@Pt core-shell nanodendrites (NDs), which are formed through the self-assembly of small Pt nanoparticles (≈6 nm).

This work aims to deal with the challenges associated with designing complementary bifunctional electrocatalysts and a separator/membrane that enables rechargeable zinc-air batteries (RZABs) with nearly solid-state operability. This solid-state RZAB was accomplished by integrating a bifunctional electrocatalyst based on Ru-RuO interface nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped (N-doped) graphene (Ru-RuO/NGr) and a dual-doped poly(acrylic acid) hydrogel (d-PAA) electrolyte soaked in KOH with sodium stannate additive. The catalyst shows enhanced activity and stability toward the two oxygen reactions, i.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in initiating antitumor immune responses. However, in the tumor environment, dendritic cells often exhibit impaired antigen presentation and adopt an immunosuppressive phenotype, which hinders their function and reduces their ability to efficiently present antigens. Here, a dual catalytic oxide nanosponge (DON) doubling as a remotely boosted catalyst and an inducer of programming DCs to program immune therapy is reported.

The metal-carbon dioxide batteries, emerging as high-energy-density energy storage devices, enable direct CO utilization, offering promising prospects for CO capture and utilization, energy conversion, and storage. However, the electrochemical performance of M-CO batteries faces significant challenges, particularly at extreme temperatures. Issues such as high overpotential, poor charge reversibility, and cycling capacity decay arise from complex reaction interfaces, sluggish oxidation kinetics, inefficient catalysts, dendrite growth, and unstable electrolytes.
