A major impediment to Li–O2 battery commercialization is the low discharge capacities
resulting from electronically insulating Li2O2 film growth on carbon electrodes. Redox …

Increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere is a problem that must be urgently resolved if the
rise in current global temperatures is to be slowed. Chemically reducing CO2 into …

Conspectus The catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to fuels and value-added chemicals is
of significance for the development of carbon recycling technologies. One of the main …

Activity descriptors are a powerful tool for the design of catalysts that can efficiently utilize H2
with minimal energy losses. In this study, we develop the use of hydricity and H–self …

In recent years, heterocyclic organic compounds have been explored as molecular
electrocatalysts in relevant reactions for energy conversion and storage. Merging mimetics …

The kinetics of hydride transfer from Re (Rbpy)(CO) 3H (bpy= 4, 4′-R-2, 2′-bipyridine; R=
OMe, tBu, Me, H, Br, COOMe, CF3) to CO2 and seven different cationic N-heterocycles were …

Biomimetic NAD (P) H-type organic hydride donors have recently been advocated as
potential candidates to act as metal-free catalysts for fuel-forming reactions such as the …

Earth-abundant chromophores and catalysts are important molecular building blocks for
artificial photosynthesis applications. Our team previously reported that metal-free hydride …

The photo-catalytic reduction of CO2 into chemical feedstocks using solar energy has
attracted vast interest in environmental science because of global warming. Based on our …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important trace gas in Earth's atmosphere. Its high concentration
in the environment causes serious problems. Thus, it has become imperative to develop …
