TL;DR: In this paper, the binding pattern, electronic properties and work function of MoS2 nanostructures stacked on a graphene substrate have been studied through density functional theory calculations, and the importance of edges in regulating the binding strength and interfacial electron coupling was highlighted.

TL;DR: In this article, the structural and defect engineering of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) is summarized, mainly focusing on introducing interlayer ions/molecules and defects into the cathode crystal structure, designing amorphous structures and/or heterostructures of cathodes, decorating an inorganic/organic coating on cathodes and creating an artificial interfacial layer on anodes and constructing nanostructured anodes.

TL;DR: Alkylation of the glycine Schiff base Ni(II) complex with 1,3-dibromopropane followed by acid-catalysed hydrolysis of the resulting bis-alkylation product, allowed for the preparation of naturally occurring (2S,6S)-diaminopimelic acid in high overall yield.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors harnessed mechanosensing and electrothermal properties of liquid metal (LM) to actuate the thermally responsive liquid crystal elastomer (LCE).

TL;DR: The obtained CdS-Cd/S-MoO2 presented an efficient photocatalytic performance under the visible light (>420 nm) with a prominent H2 generation rate of as high as 24.98 µmol h-1 mg-1, which is eleven times higher than that of the CdD-S nanoparticles.
