The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

3D‐Printed Crosslinked Nanocellulose‐MXene Hydrogels and Aerogels with High Strength and Conductivity

Small, EarlyView.
This study presents a robust strategy for 3D printing conductive, mechanically resilient MXene–CNF composite structures using a single‐step freeze‐induced crosslinking method. The printed architectures remain stable in both wet and dry states, exhibit high electrical conductivity and mechanical strength, and demonstrate practical application in fully ...

Titanium Dioxide Induced Immobilization of Small Platinum Nanoparticles on Carbon Spherogels: A Strategy Towards Stable and Efficient Electrocatalysts for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Small, EarlyView.
Platinum nanoparticles are immobilized on hollow carbon spherogels using supercritical deposition, enabling precise control over nanoparticle size, loading, and spatial distribution. Incorporation of an internal TiO2 sublayer in the hollow sphere support induces enhanced metal–support interactions, markedly improving hydrogen evolution activity and ...

Smart NIR‐Emitting Organometallo Pt(II)‐Ionosilica Aerogel for Selective Au(III) Sensing and Recovery

Small, EarlyView.
This study reports a near‐infrared emitting ionic aerogel composed of cationic cyclometalated Pt(II) moieties linked by Si─O─Si bonds. The resulting porous hybrid material enables the selective detection and recovery of Au(III) ions from mixed‐metal solutions. Owing to its reversible luminescent response and thiourea‐assisted gold recovery, the aerogel

Biomass Polymer‐Stabilized Hygroscopic Salts in Cellulose Foams for Durable Atmospheric Water Harvesting

Small Methods, EarlyView.
We fabricate a LiCl+CMC@cellulose composite foam via a scalable impregnation process, enabling excellent AWH water capture‐release cycling stability. The CMC acts as a “molecular glue,” effectively mitigating salt aggregation and leakage. The composite foam delivers a high water uptake of 16.04 ± 0.82 g g−1 with >80% retention over 10 cycles, while a ...
