Hydrogel for preserving activity of enzyme for electrochemical biosensor - Contemporary medical diagnosis relies on sensors, particularly enzyme-based electrochemical biosensors, to detect disease markers due to their high specificity and sensitivity. However, enzymes as biomolecules denature over time, causing the sensor being less reliable. This research aims to develop hydrogels capable of decreasing the rate of enzyme denaturation in order… …Hydrogel for preserving activity of enzyme for electrochemical biosensor Read More »
Mechanistic study on the conversion of primary alcohols and butadiene into branched ketones using a rhodium catalyst - This work investigates the mechanism of a Rh(I)-catalyzed transformation of primary alcohols and butadiene into saturated branched ketones, without premetalated intermediates or external hydrogen sources. DFT calculations reveal a four-step pathway involving alcohol oxidation, butadiene hydrogenation, carbonyl addition, and intramolecular hydrogen transfer. The rate-determining step is the sterically hindered carbonyl… …
Extracting Lithium the Greener Way - With more and more used lithium-ion batteries piling up, how can we recycle lithium safely and sustainably?Our team developed a special solvent called a Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) — made from harmless, low-toxicity chemicals — to extract lithium quickly and selectively from battery waste.This DES is hydrophobic, works at room… …
