    High-performance Li-O2 batteries with trilayered Pd/MnOx/Pd nanomembranes

    Trilayered Pd/MnOx/Pd nanomembranes are fabricated as the cathode catalysts for Li‐O2 batteries. The combination of Pd and MnOx facilitates the transport of electrons, lithium ions, and oxygen‐containing intermediates, thus effectively decomposing the discharge product Li2O2 and significantly lowering the charge overpotential and enhancing the power efficiency. This is promising for future environmentally friendly applications.

    Catalytic β-Bromohydroxylation of Natural Terpenes: Useful Intermediates for the Synthesis of Terpenic Epoxides
    (New York, NY [u.a.] : Hindawi, 2018) Oubaassine, Saadia; Köckritz, Angela; Eckelt, Reinhard; Martin, Andreas; Ait Ali, Mustapha; El Firdoussi, Larbi
    In a one-step procedure, various ß-bromoalcohols were synthesized from natural terpenes in good to excellent yields. Using different catalysts, the reaction was carried out at room temperature, with H 2 O as nucleophile and N-bromosuccinimide as a bromine source under mild reaction conditions. The synthesized ß-bromoalcohols were subsequently converted in situ to the corresponding epoxides in good yields. © 2019 Saadia Oubaassine et al.
