  Energy-Positive Thiosulfate Production Enabled by Coupling Waste Sulfide Oxidation with Oxygen Reduction

  Here we develop a galvanic electrochemical-chemical cascade strategy that couples the sulfide oxidation reaction (SOR) with the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), enabling sulfide valorization with net positive electrical energy output.

  Multivariate approach of metal-chiral covalent organic frameworks for leaching-resistant asymmetric transfer hydrogenation

  Here, we introduce a modular multivariate approach strategy coupled with post-synthetic metalation to engineer metal-chiral COFs (MCCOFs) with tunable crystallinity, porosity, and stereocontrol.

  Lattice distortion strain modulation of twin-defective noble-metal-free high-entropy alloy electrocatalyst for Li−O2 batteries

  Here, authors demonstrate that lattice strain induced by large-size Ce doping generates coherent five-fold twinning in noble-metal-free high-entropy alloy nanoparticles, which serve as efficient electrocatalysts for non-aqueous Li–O2 batteries.

  Iron-Electrocatalytic MHAT Enables C–F Bond Activation of CF3 Alkenes: Access to Stable Keto and Enol Isosteres

  Using an iron porphyrin catalyst and urea as the proton source, this protocol enables the selective C–F bond activation of CF3 alkenes to furnish gem-difluoroalkenes with a broad substrate scope under mild conditions.
