Size and Polarizability as Design Principles for Stereoselective Catalysis
Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 31, Issue 68, December 4, 2025.In recent years, noncovalent interactions (NCIs) have been recognized as a key component in substrate activation and control in stereoselective catalysis. We demonstrate that size and polarizability serve as powerful, yet simple descriptors for catalyst and substrate design on a quantitative level.

Application of Crosslinked Epoxy‐Based Gel Polymer Electrolytes for Li‐Ion Battery
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 310, Issue 12, December 2025.Crosslinked gel polymer electrolytes are prepared using epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGBEA). The resulting polymer electrolytes exhibited a wide electrochemical stability window (up to 4.2 V), ionic conductivity in the range of 10−4 S cm−1, and a cation transference number between 0.47 and 0.76.
