Engineering an ( R )‐Selective Transaminase for High‐Substrate‐Loading Asymmetric Amination of a Sterically Demanding N ‐Heterocyclic Ketone

ABSTRACT The biocatalytic asymmetric amination of bulky N ‐heterocyclic ketones is often limited by low enzyme activity and poor performance at high substrate loading. Herein, we developed an efficient ( R )‐selective transaminase for the synthesis of ( R )‐1‐Boc‐3‐aminopiperidin...

Plasma-Driven Carbon Mobilization Creates a Transient Near-Surface Carbonaceous Interphase for Selective CO2 Conversion into CO

Abstract Carbon beds enhance plasma-assisted CO2 conversion into resources, but are commonly treated as stationary reactant surfaces. Here, we show that nonthermal plasma (NTP) continuously mobilizes and reconstructs carbon, generating a transient near-surface carbonaceous interp...

Femtosecond Laser-Induced Co3O4 Periodic Surface Structures of Active Facets for Gas Sensing

Abstract Achieving precise facet control in metal oxides is a critical challenge for advancing gas sensor performance, as high-energy crystal planes offer superior surface reactivity but are difficult to expose in a controlled manner on functional thin films. This work demonstrat...

Silver‐Decorated Graphene Mediates “Lithiene” Structured Interlayers for Ultrafast Lithium Transport in Solid‐State Batteries
