Natural Sunlight IR‐Driven Highly Efficient Synthesis of Acetaldehyde From Bioethanol Over Cu/Fe 2 O 3

ABSTRACT Using renewable biomass to synthesize valuable chemicals can reduce fossil fuel dependence and achieve carbon neutrality. Here, for the first time an infrared light‐driven catalyst, Cu/Fe 2 O 3 , was designed to convert bioethanol to valuable acetaldehyde, accompanied by...

Host Dearomatization for Prolonging Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence

ABSTRACT Host–guest doping has emerged as a powerful platform for constructing organic room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials, owing to its structural tunability and facile fabrication. However, molecular design has largely focused on guest molecules, while host screeni...

Comparative thermodynamic assessment of plasma gasification and plasma pyrolysis of livestock‐derived agricultural waste for syngas production

Abstract This study presents a thermodynamic assessment of the plasma conversion of livestock‐derived agricultural waste, represented by dried mixed manure, using the TERRA equilibrium program. Plasma gasification and plasma pyrolysis were compared within a unified modeling frame...

Dynamic Fluorescence Visualization of Nonequilibrium Supramolecular Assembly Regulated by a Proton Reservoir

Living systems sustain nonequilibrium supramolecular assemblies through continuous energy input and concomitant dissipation, with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) serving as a universal chemical fuel that regulates dynamic processes by coupling hydrolysis to downstream chemical or co...

Bridging the Biotic–Abiotic Divide: Design Principles of Hydrogel Interfaces for Next‐Generation Brain‐Machine Implants

ABSTRACT Brain–machine interfaces (BMIs), recognized as transformative technologies for restoring neural function and decoding intricate brain activity, have started to come to the fore. Despite these advancements, a significant disparity persists between traditional machines—con...

Control over the Self-Assembly of Supramolecular Hydrogels Using Hofmeister Effect

Supramolecular hydrogels are usually prepared in aqueous media containing diverse ions, for instance, buffer solutions, yet the influences of ions, especially the Hofmeister effect, on their self-assembly are often overlooked. Here, we systematically investigate the impacts of di...
