Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A wood‐based magnetic and conductive material called Magwood (MW), capable of blocking almost 99.99% of electromagnetic waves (in the X‐band frequency range), is synthesized using a simple, solvent‐free process. MW is lightweight, resists water, and is flame‐retardant, making it a promising alternative for shielding electronics. The rapid proliferation

Selective Hydrodemethylation of Methylalkylbenzenes on Potassium Hydride
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Selective catalytic hydrodealkylation of methylalkylbenzenes on carbon‐supported potassium hydride is reported. The reaction exhibits a reactivity trend of 1° ∼ 2° ∼ 3° < CH3, which is opposite to traditional dealkylation and hydrodealkylation. DFT calculations on the (001) facet of KH with ortho‐ethyltoluene suggest that selectivity is controlled by ...
