Atomic layer deposition (ALD) combined with self-assembled monolayer (SAM) passivation allows selective deposition on patterned substrates at the nanoscale, enabling bottom-up material fabrication for various applications. Selective chemisorption of 1-octadecanethiol (ODT) on Cu over SiO2 is exploited to achieve area selective deposition (ASD). Alt...
For the search for promising singlet fission candidates, the calculation of the effective electronic coupling, which is required to estimate the singlet fission rate between the initially excited state (S0S1) and the multiexcitonic state ((TT)-T-1, two triplets on neighboring molecules, coupled into a singlet), should be sufficiently reliable and f...
Self-oscillating filtration membranes having a lifelike pulsatile flow are prepared thanks to a synchronized coupling between a chemical oscillator and a responsive membrane. Commercial alumina membranes are superficially functionalized with pH-responsive poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) chains synthesized by reversible addition–fragmentation chain tr...
Lithium-sulfur flow batteries show great superiority in large-scale energy storage. However, the sulfur utilization in high sulfur loading suspension catholyte declines sharply due to the insulating nature of sulfur/sulfides. Adding more carbon conductive materials can augment sulfur utilization, while high carbon content limits the specific energy...

We investigate the impact of pre-main sequence stellar luminosity evolution on the thermal and chemical properties of disc mid-planes. We create template disc models exemplifying initial conditions for giant planet formation for a variety of stellar masses and ages. These models include the 2D physical structure of gas as well as 1D chemical struct...
Solubilized fullerene derivatives have revolutionized the development of organic photovoltaic devices, acting as excellent electron acceptors. The addition of solubilizing addends to the fullerene cage results in a large number of isomers, which are generally employed as isomeric mixtures. Moreover, a significant number of these isomers are chiral,...
A new organocatalyzed fluoride metathesis reaction between fluoroarenes and carbonyl derivatives is reported. The reaction exchanges fluoride (F–) and alternate nucleophiles (OAc–, OCO2R–, SR–, Cl–, CN–, NCS–). The approach provides a conceptually novel route to manipulate the fluorine content of organic molecules. When the fluorination and defluor...
