Lignin extracted from trees is one of the most abundant biopolymers on Earth. Quinone, a substructure in lignin, can be used for energy storage via reversible redox reactions through absorbing and releasing electrons and protons. However, these efforts have encountered hindrances, such as short life cycle, low cycling…

Linear aliphatic polyesters are degradable thermoplastic polymers, which can be obtained by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters through a coordination-insertion mechanism. Aluminum based organometallic complexes have a leading position as efficient catalysts for this polymerization process. Aluminumalky…

Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are an essential tool in clinical MRI. Millions of doses are administered annually to patients worldwide.1 However, free gadolinium, the basis of GBCAs, is extremely toxic in only small amounts. Gadolinium has an atomic radius similar to that of calcium and can interfere with c…

Abstract The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is an intrinsic thermal response of all magnetic solids which has a direct and strong correlation with the corresponding magnetic phase transition. It has been well recognized that the magnetic phase transition can be tuned by adjusting applied pressure. Therefore, we perform t…
