RSC Advances Outstanding Student Paper Awards 2024
We are delighted to announce the winners of the RSC Advances Outstanding Student Paper Awards 2024. These awards recognise outstanding work published in the journal, in which a substantial component of the research was conducted by a student.
Paper
Transient crystallisation of rare earth carbonates during the hydrothermal oxidation of siderite
The researchers investigated the interaction between multi-component rare earth element-bearing aqueous solutions and siderite grains under hydrothermal conditions.
Paper
Improved thermoelectric performance of PEDOT:PSS/Bi2Te3/reduced graphene oxide ternary composite films for energy harvesting applications
The schematic illustrates the process flow for preparing a PEDOT:PSS/Bi2Te3/rGO ternary composite film using the spin coating method.
Paper
Colour tuneability of heteroleptic iridium complexes through second-sphere coordination
A series of H-bond-rich iridium(III) complexes with different cyclometalating ligands bearing the general formula [Ir(C^N)2(N^N)] were synthesised. Their photophysical properties were elucidated along with properties imparted by their H-bond host–guest complement.
Paper
To click or not to click for short pulse-labeling of the bacterial cell wall
Clicking fluorescent dyes to live bacteria at the right time enables high-intensity fluorescence, and high spatial and temporal resolution.
Paper
Selective synthesis of cyclic alcohols from cycloalkanes using nickel(II) complexes of tetradentate amidate ligands
Selective synthesis of cyclic alcohols catalysed by nickel(II) complexes of tetradentate amidate ligands.
Paper
Carbohydrate NMR chemical shift prediction by GeqShift employing E(3) equivariant graph neural networks
Visual abstract of GeqShift, an E(3) equivariant graph neural network for predicting carbohydrate NMR shifts. The model excels in stereochemical invariance, offering superior molecular geometry understanding over traditional methods.
Paper
Design and characterisation of casein coated and drug loaded magnetic nanoparticles for theranostic applications
Magnetic protein-coated, drug-loaded nanohybrids have huge potential in future cancer theranostics for real-time monitored drug delivery.
Paper
An automated protocol to construct flexibility parameters for classical forcefields: applications to metal–organic frameworks
This article introduces an automated protocol for optimizing the flexibility parameters (to be used in classical forcefields) through regularized linear regression and applies this new method to 116 metal–organic frameworks.
Paper
Total synthesis of naturally occurring abietane diterpenoids via a late-stage Fe(III)-bTAML catalysed Csp3–H functionalization
A site-selective C–H functionalization strategy has been developed for a concise total synthesis of angustanol (5), majusanin B (2), majusanic acid D (1), angustanoic acid F (4), angustanoic acid E (6) and angustanoic acid G (3).
Paper
Synergism in carbon nanotubes and carbon-dots: counter electrode of a high-performance dye-sensitized solar cell
This study paves the way of tailoring property of counter electrode with carbon nanomaterials in dye-sensitized solar cell.
Paper
Effect of a novel drying method based on supercritical carbon dioxide on the physicochemical properties of sorghum proteins
The aim of this research was to use supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) drying as a novel approach for generating sorghum protein concentrates/isolates with enhanced functional properties.
Paper
Portable glucose sensing analysis based on laser-induced graphene composite electrode
In this work, a portable electrochemical glucose sensor was studied based on a laser-induced graphene (LIG)/PEDOT/Au/GOx micro-sensing interface.
