Aprotic metal-oxygen batteries, especially Li-O2 and Na-O2 batteries, could afford theoretical specific energies in excess of 1000 Wh/kg. However, the practical realization of the theoretically possible high specific ...

The rise in multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections is a major health concern of the 21st-century. Overuse of traditional antibiotics in medical, agricultural, and veterinary practices has led to numerous drug-resistant ...

Nature employs the strategy of self-assembly in a remarkable way at every scale to construct numerous functional architectures. Various noncovalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, 𝜋-𝜋 stacking, and electrostatic ...

The increasing concerns about a sustainable future demand accelerated design and development of new materials with enhanced properties. The process of material development immensely depends on the structure-to-property ...

Redox-active transition metal-based prodrug complexes hold great promise as drug delivery systems (DDS) to circumvent drug related toxicity and enhance the overall efficacy of the cytotoxic agents. In this context, ...

The conversion of CO2 to fuels can be instrumental in reducing future dependence on fossil fuels. High temperature (800oC) electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO using a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) provides an ...

Since their inception by Sony® in 1991, Li-ion batteries have become dominant in various energy storage applications. However, the ever-growing energy demand coupled with sparsely distributed lithium resources provide ...

Mixed polyanionic insertion materials offer a rich treasure house to develop robust cathode insertion materials having a desirable combination of chemical and thermal stability, as well as tuneable redox voltage and ...

Metal Organic Framework (MOF) compounds are now recognized as a distinctive area of research in the fields of chemistry, materials, and other related sciences. The MOF compounds offer many potential applications towards ...

Living organisms can perform complex chemical reactions precisely in the confined pockets of enzymes. In this regard, numerous aesthetic 2D and 3D discrete architectures have been constructed using metal-ligand coordination ...
