Stabilizing LiCoO2 (LCO) at 4.5 V rather than the common 4.2 V is important for the high specific capacity. In this study, we developed a simple and efficient way to improve the stability of LiCoO2 at high voltages. After a simple sol–gel metho...

The aim of this study was to obtain a series of activated carbon samples by the chemical activation of low-rank coal. The precursor was impregnated with a NaOH solution. Activated carbons were characterized by determining their textural parameters an...

SYAUP-491 is a novel alkyl sulfonamide. In this study, in vivo and in vitro tests were performed along with a proteomic analysis to determine the effects and underlying mechanisms of the antibacterial activity of SYAUP-491 against the causative agent...

Graphdiyne (GDY) is considered a very attractive support for metal nanocatalysts due to its unique structure and superior properties. The metal–GDY interaction can significantly affect the performance of catalysts. Herein, GDY nanotubes abundan...

Close to 19% of the world population suffers from anxiety. Current medications for this chronic mental disorder have improved treatment over the last half century or more, but the newer anxiolytics have proved disappointing, and enormous challenges r...

Due to the specific properties provided by fluorine atoms to biomolecules, amino acids with fluorinated side chains are of great interest for medicinal chemistry and chemical biology. Among them, α-fluoroalkyl-α-amino acids constitute a u...

The impact of organometallic chemistry on the terpene field only really blossomed in the 1960s and 1970s with the realisation that carbon–carbon bond formation under mild conditions could be achieved by using nickel or iron carbonyls as synthet...

A series of novel 4-Hydroxyquinazoline derivatives were designed and synthesized to enhance sensitivity in primary PARPi-resistant cells. Among them, the compound B1 has been found to have superior cytotoxicity in primary PARPi-resistant HCT-15 and H...

SARS-CoV, an RNA virus, is contagious and displays a remarkable degree of adaptability, resulting in intricate disease presentations marked by frequent genetic mutations that can ultimately give rise to drug resistance. Targeting its viral replicatio...

Design of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) inhibitors is considered an effective strategy for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the limited blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetration and poor Aβ-targeting...
