Anodic oxidation of furans in acetic acid leads to the 2,5-diacetoxy-2,5-dihydro-furan 58 [185, 186] which is readily converted to 2-acetoxyfuran. This has proved a valuable intermediate for the synthesis of butenolides [187]. Reactions in moist acetonitrile yield the 2,5-dihydro-2,5-...
Owing to the abundance and low price of sodium, researches on sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) as a lithium-ion battery (LIB) alternative are emerging as a consensus. It is crucial to develop electrode materials suitable for sodium storage. In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) layered transition ...
52. Exchange-correlation interactions were treated by LDA, and the norm-conserving pseudopotentials53of Troullier and Martins54were used for the core electrons with a grid spacing of 0.15 Å. The relative spin directions of two electrodes were changed to obtain zero bias-dependent transmission...
Precise synthesis of polyoxometalates (POMs) is important for the fundamental understanding of the relationship between the structure and function of each building motif. However, it is a great challenge to realize the atomic-level tailoring of specific sites in POMs without altering the major framewor...
The excellent techno-functional capacity of proteins may be of considerable interest to the food industry, which would determine their potential applications in foods. It has been reported that the functional properties of proteins or saccharides, such as the solubility, heat stability, emulsifying and...
