Since the discovery of N-doped carbon nanotubes as the first carbon-based metal-free
electrocatalyst (C-MFEC) for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in 2009, C-MFECs have …

This Review aims to critically analyse the emerging field of chemical reactivity at aqueous
interfaces. The subject has evolved rapidly since the discovery of the so-called 'on-water …

Contact electrification between water and a solid surface is crucial for physicochemical
processes at water–solid interfaces. However, the nature of the involved processes remains …

Ultrapure N2 gas was bubbled through water, and the humidified output containing
undetectable concentrations of ozone filled a closed chamber in which 18 MΩ-cm water was …

Amide bond formation, the essential condensation reaction underlying peptide synthesis, is
hindered in aqueous systems by the thermodynamic constraints associated with …

Reaction rates of common organic reactions have been reported to increase by one to six
orders of magnitude in aqueous microdroplets compared to bulk solution, but the reasons for …

Biomolecular condensates mediate diverse cellular processes. The density-transition
process of condensate formation results in the selective partitioning of molecules, which …

Oxidative C–H/N–H cross-coupling has emerged as an atom-economical method for the
construction of C–N bonds. Conventional oxidative C–H/N–H coupling requires at least one …

The formation mechanism of aerosol sulfate during wintertime haze events in China is still
largely unknown. As companions, SO2 and transition metals are mainly emitted from coal …

Oils are hydrophobic, but their degradation is frequently found to be accelerated in the
presence of water microdroplets. The direct chemical consequences of water–oil contact …
