Bifurcation of *COOH Pathway Determines HCOOH Formation in CO2 Electroreduction on Bismuth
Driven by the mechanistic debate of Bi‐catalyzed CO2‐to‐HCOOH conversion, ambiguity remains regarding true reaction pathways. To resolve this, we combined constant‐potential AIMD simulations with spectroscopic evidence to analyze the competitive pathways.

Investigating Hydrogenous Behavior of Zintl Phases [Elektronisk resurs] : Interstitial Hydrides, Polyanionic Hydrides, Complex Hydrides, Oxidative Decomposition [PDF]
This thesis is an investigation into the hydrogenous behavior of Zintl phases. Zintl phases are comprised of an active metal (i.e alkali, alkaline earth, and rare earth) and a p-block element.

Ultrastable Self‐Cross‐linkable Electro‐Optic Materials Based on a Bisanthracene Scaffold
A novel bisanthracene‐based self‐cross‐linkable electro‐optic chromophore (TD2) is developed. TD2 exhibits a high r33 of 141 pm/V and a cross‐linked Tg up to 195 °C, retaining 99.75% of its initial EO response after 500 h at 85 °C, showing record‐high thermal stability for single‐molecule self‐cross‐linking EO materials.

Redirecting a Native Ene‐Reductase Toward Desaturation With Reverse Enantioselectivity
A native ene‐reductase, XenA, was repurposed to catalyze the reverse‐enantioselective desaturation of cyclohexanones. The final variant was obtained through extensive protein engineering, combining PROSS‐guided computational design with mutagenesis and screening.

Enhanced tunability of thermodynamic stability of complex hydrides by the incorporation of H- anions [PDF]
First-principles calculations were employed to investigate hypothetical complex hydrides (M,M')4FeH8 (M = Na, Li; M'=Mg, Zn, Y, Al). Besides complex anion [FeH6]4-, these materials contain two H- anions, which raise the total anionic charge state from ...

Fabrication of Composite Cathode for All‐Solid‐State Sodium Batteries
The design of composite cathodes for all‐solid‐state sodium batteries must address three critical challenges—interfacial side reactions, interfacial delamination, and highly tortuous transport pathways. This work outlines structural and interfacial strategies to optimize ion transport and mechanical stability, enabling durable, and high‐performance ...

Storing Renewable Energy in the Hydrogen Cycle
An energy economy based on renewable energy requires massive energy storage, approx. half of the annual energy consumption. Therefore, the production of a synthetic energy carrier, e.g. hydrogen, is necessary. The hydrogen cycle, i.e. production
