Irreversible Structural Changes of Copper Hexacyanoferrate Used as a Cathode in Zn‐Ion Batteries Alexander von Humboldt

Irreversible Structural Changes of Copper Hexacyanoferrate Used as a Cathode in Zn‐Ion Batteries

Charging/discharging metal ions is the key process for the storage of electric energy in the form of chemical energy in various metal‐ion batteries. This process is based on the redox reaction of electrode materials, accompanied by insertion and desertion of the metal cations, respectively.1 The reversibility of the reaction determines…

The Mechanism of N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Organocatalysis through a Magnifying Glass Alexander von Humboldt

The Mechanism of N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Organocatalysis through a Magnifying Glass

Introduction N‐Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) define a highly versatile field of chemistry. Significant portion of this knowledge and the corresponding applications grew out of a series of experiments at the end of the 19th century, in which Eijkman observed that rice husk prevents beriberi‐like symptoms of malnutritioned hens.1 In the following…

Engineering of Laccase CueO for Improved Electron Transfer in Bioelectrocatalysis by Semi‐Rational Design Alexander von Humboldt

Engineering of Laccase CueO for Improved Electron Transfer in Bioelectrocatalysis by Semi‐Rational Design

Introduction Laccases (p‐diphenol:dioxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.2), a class of multicopper oxidase, are widely distributed among eukaryotes and prokaryotes.1 Most laccases contain four Cu atoms per laccase molecule, one Type 1 (T1) Cu and a trinuclear Cu cluster comprised of Type 2 and binuclear Type 3 (T2/T3) Cu atoms. These four Cu atoms participate…
