Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural stand out as bridges connecting biomass raw materials
to the biorefinery industry. Their reductive transformations by hydroconversion are key …

In an ideal plasmonic surface sensor, the bioactive area, where analytes are recognized by
specific biomolecules, is surrounded by an area that is generally composed of a different …

Stabilizing the Zn anode under high utilization rates is highly applauded yet very
challenging in aqueous Zn batteries. Here, we rationally design a zincophilic short-chain …

We report a robust, universal “soft” nitriding method to grow in situ ligand-free ultrasmall
noble metal nanocatalysts (UNMN; eg, Au, Pd, and Pt) onto carbon. Using low-temperature …

The gold–sulphur interface of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was extensively studied
some time ago. More recently tremendous progress has been made in the preparation and …

Cyanotoxins are toxins produced by cyanobacteria; they negatively impact water resources
used by humans and disrupt ecosystems worldwide. Among cyanotoxins, saxitoxin (STX) is …

Area-selective atomic layer deposition (AS-ALD) is a promising bottom-up patterning
approach for fabricating conformal thin films. One of the current challenges with respect to …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of thiolates have increasingly been used for
modification of metal surfaces in electrochemical applications including selective catalysis …

In view of the relevance of organic thin layers in many fields, the fundamentals, growth
mechanisms, and dynamics of thin organic layers, in particular thiol-based self-assembled …

Sulfur-based ligands are versatile donors that play important roles in a wide array of
subdisciplines of inorganic chemistry including organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic …
