Featured Articles
Herein, we review 乐天堂app下载 recent progress of rational strategies to enable 乐天堂app下载 use of microsized alloy anodes (Si, P, Sb, Sn, etc.) including electrolyte modulation, binder design and architecture engineering. We also provide perspectives on future directions and remaining challenges of microsized anodes towards practical applications.
In this review, 乐天堂app下载 applications of MOF-based electrocatalysts in 乐天堂app下载 hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) are presented in detail with 乐天堂app下载 classification of monometallic MOFs, bimetallic MOFs, MOF-based composites and MOFs as supports.
乐天堂app下载 present review covers several of 乐天堂app下载 most important homogeneously catalyzed processes and technologies which are currently used or have 乐天堂app下载 potential to produce fine and bulk chemicals from 1,3-butadiene.
乐天堂app下载 syn乐天堂app下载sis and characterisation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene using heterogenised permethylindenyl-phenoxy (PHENI*) catalysts has been explored in detail. Four approaches to enhancing 乐天堂app下载 processability of UHMWPE have been assessed: active site concentration and disentanglement; chain transfer agents; multisite catalysis; and polymer composites.
