The slime is sublime! In our newest @J_A_C_S paper we bind quinones to Pd nanoparticles, simultaneously improving paths for direct H2O2 synthesis and enhancing proton-electron transfer using redox mediators. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4c15874

Aldol condensation + zeolite topography = ??? See our new @JCatal_J paper by Dr. Zhongyao Zhang and @its_mattyj53 that demonstrates how pore structure changes both product distributions and reaction networks in alcohol valorization. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1016/j.jcat.2025.…
