Root-Toughened Molecular Interfaces Unlock Efficient and Air-Stable Blue Perovskite LEDs

This study introduces a root-toughening strategy using dithiothreitol (DTT) to form covalent crosslinks between ITO and phosphonic acid-based self-assembled monolayers, thereby creating a robust, air-stable interface that enables high-efficiency (15.18% EQE), large-area blue perovskite light-emitting diodes processed in ambient conditions.

Analysis of the use of coffee husk biochar columns in the removal of sulfamethoxazole from wastewater in urban areas

This study evaluates coffee husk biochar columns for removing sulfamethoxazole from wastewater in the Recife Metropolitan Area, finding that while batch tests showed 59.7% adsorption fitting the Langmuir model, column performance was lower at 26.3% due to reduced contact time and particle arrangement limitations.

Cooperative NHC/LA Catalysis for Stereoselective Strain-Release Difunctionalization of Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes to 1,1,3,3-Tetrasubstituted Cyclobutanes

This paper reports a cooperative NHC/Lewis acid catalytic strategy that enables the rapid, room-temperature, and highly stereoselective strain-release difunctionalization of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to synthesize 1,1,3,3-tetrasubstituted cyclobutanes via a mechanism involving Lewis acid-assisted C–O bond cleavage and NHC-mediated rearrangement of a 2-oxabicyclo[2.1.1]hexane intermediate.
