Metal‐Free Synthesis of α,ω‐Dihydroxy Low‐Molecular‐Weight Poly(2,6‐Dimethyl‐1,4‐Phenylene Oxide) via Amine‐Catalyzed Redistribution

ABSTRACT Although poly (2,6‐dimethyl‐1,4‐phenylene oxide) (PPO) is a promising dielectric material, the conventionally produced PPO inevitably contains Cu(I) residues, which constrain its dielectric performances. In this work, a fully metal‐free route to prepare α,ω‐dihydroxy low...

Cooperative Dual‐Directional π – π Stacking in Self‐Assembled Monolayers for High‐Performance Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells

ABSTRACT The evolution from monomeric to dimeric self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) opens new opportunities for inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs), yet stronger π – π interactions in these larger architectures risk inducing aggregation over ordered assembly, making it challengi...

Unpacking the institutional and psychological pathways of community empowerment in cultural heritage governance

Abstract Community empowerment is widely recognized as an effective strategy for improving resident satisfaction in the governance of cultural heritage sites. However, existing studies focus primarily on institutional design and do not systematically explore the underlying psycho...

Modulating d-band centers in FeNiP@Cu2S nanoarrays by Co-Mn synergistic doping and heterojunction for efficient overall water splitting

This work addresses electrocatalytic limitations via d-band tuning through bimetallic co-doping and heterostructures. A CoMn-FeNiP@Cu 2 S nanorod heterostructured electrocatalyst was synthesized via hydrothermal and electrodeposition methods. Benefiting from the Cu 2 S substrate'...

Interactions Among Three‐Tier Factors of Community Safety Resilience: A Dual‐Perspective Analysis

Enhanced dielectric performance of polypropylene for hvdc cable insulation via 4‑allyloxybenzil grafting for multiscale structural modulation

Impact Polypropylene Copolymer (IPC) is a promising candidate for HVDC cable insulation, yet the lack of rigorous, quantitative structure-property correlations limits its performance optimization. In this study, a functional monomer, 4-Allyloxybenzil (AOB), containing benzene rin...

Palladium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Dearomative Domino Heck/Stille Reaction of Indoles

Abstract Palladium-catalyzed enantioselective dearomative difunctionalization of N-substituted indoles was developed via dearomative carbonpalladation and subsequent capture of benzyl-Pd species by organostannane reagents (domino Heck/Stille reaction). A wide range of 2,3-disubst...

Synthesis, Preclinical Evaluation, and Clinical Application of the FAPI‐Dimer Based on the LARM Platform

ABSTRACT Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a promising pan‐tumor target for theranostics, but current FAP‐targeted radioligands are limited by insufficient tumor retention and suboptimal therapeutic doses. To address these challenges, we developed a novel LARM platform and s...

Lean-burn stability and thermal efficiency of a high-compression SI engine using late direct water injection and multi-coil ignition

Lean operation in high-compression spark-ignition engines is constrained by the competing requirements of knock suppression and combustion stability. Direct water injection (DWI) provides an effective means of increasing knock tolerance, but its influence on combustion depends st...
