Designing binary electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution in saline electrolyte using rapid synthesis on carbon paper supports
Generating hydrogen from brackish or seawater could enable flexible energy generation, de-centralized electricity storage, and decreased reliance on energy-intensive water purification for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Backbone-shape engineering of fused-ring electron-deficient molecular semiconductors for unipolar n-type organic transistors: synthesis, conformation changes, and structure–property correlations
Three n-type fused-ring small molecules with different shapes are synthesized. Changing the backbone shape is found to affect the energy levels, molecular conformation and packing ordering, leading to different charge transport properties.
