Hollow capsules of hybrid metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have selective permeability related directly to their micropore size
MOF Capsules
Glucose Dehydration for Biofuels
Conversion of glucose from biomass into platform chemicals for biofuels does not depend on the catalyst’s oxidation state
Safer Route to Uranium Materials
Improved path to uranium compounds could help develop advanced nuclear fuels in a safer, simpler manner
Selective Hydroformylation of Mixed Feedstocks
Industrial mixed C4 feedstocks can be hydroformylated selectively with a catalyst immobilized on a supported ionic liquid
Two Layers for Artificial Photosynthesis
Tandem catalysis by nanocrystals with two distinct metal–metal oxide interfaces could be used for artificial photosynthesis
Quicker Catalyst Optimization
General method for screening palladium-based cross-coupling reactions speeds up catalyst optimization
Toxicity of Cr-Nanoparticles
Chromium nanoparticles show toxicity similar to that of hexavalent chromium
One Step to Graphene Composites
Graphene–metal nanocomposites normally made by multistep techniques can now be made in one step by electrodeposition
Death Metal!
Ruthenium complexes selectively target and kill cancer cells over healthy cells
