A series of donor-acceptor (D-π-A) substituted diphenylbutadienes exhibiting solvatochromic emission and a large Stokes shift (100-200 nm) were designed and synthesized for distinctive organelle labelling, enabling real-time monitoring of organelle behaviour such as lysosomal dynamics, mitophagy monitoring, and stress responses. The morpholine-substituted...

This review focuses on introducing the recent advances in designing NiAl-based catalysts for DRM. The three changes that caused the deactivation of NiAl-based catalysts during DRM conditions are systematically illustrated. The strategies to construct stable NiAl-based catalysts for DRM at relatively low and high temperatures are summarized, including...

The surface coating and compositing materials and the fabrication methodologies of LSB cathodes are comprehensively reviewed in terms of advanced materials, structure/component characterization, functional mechanisms and performance validation. Some technical challenges are deeply analyzed and the possible future research directions are also proposed...

Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane adducts of bis(hydrido)-dinitrogen group 6 metal complexes form by oxidative addition of H2 on the metal center in a N2-complex/borane Lewis pair. Although no Frustrated Lewis pair-related H2 splitting is observed between the borane and the N2 ligand, the resulting bis(hydrido)-dinitrogen complexes are competent for Si−H...

Temperature responsive polymers, or thermogels, are leading biomaterials for drug delivery applications. Herein, we demonstrate the first examples of urea-containing thermogelling copolymers, and demonstrate how the presence of urea groups lead to difference in gel properties and drug release behaviour compared to their counterparts containing only...

A systematic review from the perspective of design, synthesis, and physicochemical properties evaluation of the zwitterionic energetic materials is presented. The properties of some of the energetic zwitterionic compounds are also compared with analogous energetic salts. This review will encourage energetic material researchers in developing novel...
