More than a decade ago, jet-lagged textile expert Juan Hinestroza landed in Xintang, China, and took a walk near a large creek. He noticed the water was a strange color—indigo blue, from highly toxic dyes, pigments and ...

Simultaneous synthesis and fixing of covalent organic frameworks

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are versatile materials composed of interconnected organic molecules held together by covalent bonds. These frameworks can be constructed in two-dimensional or three-dimensional (3D) forms ...

The mutual benefit of agriculture and solar energy

Agricultural photovoltaics (AV) is a concept developed in the 1980s that combines agriculture and solar energy production on the same land. Practitioners grow crops under solar panels and can control the amount and wavelength ...

How electrostatics can advance green catalysis events

Developing new and more-efficient catalytic ways to control chemical reactivity and selectivity has been a constant quest for chemists in the fields of chemical manufacturing and fundamental research. Growing evidence points ...
