Fluorene-based enamines as low-cost and dopant-free hole transporting materials for high performance and stable perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Kasparas Rakstys, Albertus Adrian Sutanto, Maria Cristina Momblona Rincón

The power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells is approaching the Shockley-Queisser limit, and therefore this technology is next to the commercialization stage. Inexpensive and stable hole transporting materials are highly desirable for the succ ...

Industry 4.0 Technologies and Customer-centricity for Digital Supply Chains

Rachel Agnès Laetitia Rosemonde Marie Lacroix

The last few years have experienced the emergence of Industry 4.0 (I4.0), ultra-customization, and the explosion of demand for ethical, fair trade, and sustainable consumption. Organizations have therefore started a digital transformation of their SCs and ...

New Insights into the Interface of Electrochemical Flow Cells for Carbon Dioxide Reduction to Ethylene

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Dan Ren, Jing Gao

The implementation of an electrochemical flow cell has enabled improved efficiency for CO2 reduction. However, in situ spectroscopic insights into the interface are still lacking. Here, we investigate a series of copper layers with different thicknesses on ...

Thermal transport beyond Fourier, and beyond Boltzmann

Michele Simoncelli

Crystals and glasses exhibit fundamentally different heat conduction mechanisms: the periodicity of crystals allows for the excitation of propagating vibrational waves that carry heat, as first discussed by Peierls in 1929, while in glasses the lack of per ...

Iron-Catalyzed Reductive Coupling of Alkyl Iodides with Alkynes To Yield cis-Olefins: Mechanistic Insights from Computation

Xile Hu

In a recent study, a new procedure for Z-selective olefin synthesis by reductive coupling of alkyl iodides with terminal alkynes in the presence of iron salts is described. This transformation is representative of many newly developed synthetic routes thro ...

Carbon Dioxide Reduction by Multimetallic Uranium(IV) Complexes Supported by Redox-Active Schiff Base Ligands

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Marta Falcone, Nadir Jori

The synthesis, structure, and reactivity with CO2 and CS2 of new U(IV) complexes with a redox-active Schiff base are reported. The reaction of UI3 with the heptadentate Schiff base ligand 2,2',2 ''-tris(salicylideneimino)-triethylamine (trensal) did not le ...

Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids as Coupling Partners in Carbon-Heteroatom Bond-Forming Reactions

Runze Mao

Carboxylic acids are one of the most suitable starting materials for synthesis. They are readily available and therefore inexpensive, stable and non-toxic. Many carboxylic acids can be obtained directly from natural resources, thus avoiding the extraction ...

Enantioselective C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) cross-coupling of non-activated alkyl electrophiles via nickel hydride catalysis

Xile Hu, Runze Mao, Srikrishna Bera

Cross-coupling of two alkyl fragments is an efficient method to produce organic molecules rich in sp(3)-hybridized carbon centres, which are attractive candidate compounds in drug discovery. Enantioselective C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) coupling is challenging, espec ...

Study of Deactivation in Suzuki Reaction of Polymer-Stabilized Pd Nanocatalysts

Lioubov Kiwi

This work is addressed to the phenomenon of catalyst deactivation taking place during the repeated uses in the reaction of Suzuki-Miyaura (S-M) cross-coupling, which is widely applied in industry for C-C bond formation. Ligandless catalysts based on Pd(0) ...

Modelling long-range interactions in multiscale simulations of ferromagnetic materials

Doghonay Arjmand

Atomistic-continuum multiscale modelling is becoming an increasingly popular tool for simulating the behaviour of materials due to its computational efficiency and reliable accuracy. In the case of ferromagnetic materials, the atomistic approach handles th ...

Assembly of High-Spin [Fe-3] Clusters by Ligand-Based Multielectron Reduction

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Ivica Zivkovic, Davide Toniolo

The hexanuclear [Na12Fe6(tris-cyclo-salophen)(2)(THF)(14)], 1-THF, and the trinuclear [Na6Fe3(tris-cyclo-salophen)(py)(9)], 1-py, Fe(II) clusters can be easily assembled in one step from the ligand-based reduction of the [FeII(salophen)(THF)] complex. Thes ...
