In this review, we summarize the use of Diels–Alder reaction in the synthesis of arylene-based polymers, including polyphenylenes and ladder polymers, as well as graphene nanoribbons. These ...

The characteristic frequency of electrochemical supercapacitors is limited by ion dynamics of electrical double layer. Here, authors propose a hybrid design of electrochemical and electrolytic ...

Wet−dry cycles at mild alkaline pH drive high-yield spontaneous RNA polymerization from 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotides without added molecules, offering a simple route for RNA formation on early Earth.

Metal-mediated ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a common tool used to synthesize the backbone of bottlebrush polymers by a graft-through approach. However, examples of ROMP oligomers ...
