Recovery and reuse of homogeneous palladium catalysts via organic solvent nanofiltration: application in the synthesis of AZD4625
Using OSN, a homogeneous Pd catalyst in AZD4625 synthesis is separated and reused for five cycles, maintaining over 90% conversion.
Paper
Toward industrial C8 production: oxygen intrusion drives renewable n-caprylate production from ethanol and acetate via intermediate metabolite production
A simplified open culture chain elongation process with ethanol and acetate to produce renewable n-caprylate without adding yeast extract showed a trophic hierarchy between aerobic, facultative anaerobic, and fully anaerobic microbial species.
Tensile-strain-driven interstitial Ru doping structure on an FeCoP/FF electrode accelerates the reaction kinetics of water electrolysis
This work creatively developed a strain-driven interstitial Ru doping strategy to synthesize an interstitially Ru doped-FeCoP/FF electrode with 2.32% tensile strain.
Paper
Thermodynamically leveraged solventless aerobic deconstruction of polyethylene-terephthalate plastics over a single-site molybdenum-dioxo catalyst
This study reports the ambient catalytic depolymerization of PET under solvent-free conditions, using a carbon-supported single-site molybdenum-dioxo catalyst.

Carbon dioxide-negative composite materials: an economically viable solution for CO2 sequestration
Carboxylating lignin and lignite fillers to sequester CO2 in composite materials.
Anion doping promotes electrocatalyst reconfiguration for efficient C–C bond cleavage of 4-methylcyclohexanol
P doping promotes structural reconfiguration in nickel-based catalysts, forming an NiOOH/Ni2P interface that facilitates electrooxidation of 4-methylcyclohexanol.
Natural wood as a lithium metal host
Natural wood with an exquisite 3D interconnected hierarchical porous structure is employed as a Li host. The wood host is conducive to regulating Li plating/stripping behavior, leading to reduced polarization and prolonged lifespan.
The sustainable and catalytic synthesis of N,N-alkylated fatty amines from fatty acids and esters
The reductive amination of fatty acids (FAs) and fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) has been identified as a green and effective method to produce N,N-dimethylalkylamines (ADMAs).
Paper
A waste-minimized protocol for electrochemical reductive amination and its environmental assessment
We report an efficient protocol for electrochemical reductive amination. A careful combination of reaction medium and electrolyte has allowed waste minimization and improved sustainability, as detailed by the environmental assessment of the process.
“One-for-all” on-demand multifunctional fluorescent amphoteric polymers achieving breakthrough leather eco-manufacturing evolution
The proposed “all-in-one” strategy enables the creation of multifunctional materials for tanning, retanning, fatliquoring, and dyeing, simplifying leather manufacturing to meet market demands while delivering significant environmental benefits.
