Graphical Abstract

The Janus bifunctionality of Pd nanoparticles or atoms encapsulated in a Zn-based metal-organic framework is reported by Magnus Rueping, Pedro Castaño et al. in their Research Article (e202409490). As illustrated in the cover picture, on one side the catalyst is active and selective in photo-assisted cross-couplings, and on the other side selective and stable in the carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol.

As illustrated in the cover picture, on one side the catalyst is active and selective in photo-assisted cross-couplings, and on the other side selective and stable in the carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol.

Organic Materials

An all-natural structural material is simultaneously strengthened and toughened through its interfacial interlocking structure and intermolecular interactions, as reported by Shu-Hong Yu et al. in their Research Article (e202408458).

Asymmetric Hydrosilylation

In their Communication (e202413753), Chuan He et al. report an efficient Cu-catalyzed asymmetric cascade hydrosilylation protocol, which allows the rapid assembly of carbon- and silicon-stereogenic silacyclopentanes with good to excellent enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities.

Electrocatalysis

The acid environment was found to play a critical role in regulating the catalytic behavior of IrO during the oxygen evolution reaction, as demonstrated by Jingguang G. Chen, Ping Liu et al. in their Research Article (e202409526).

Bioanalytics

In their Research Article (e202409520), André F. Martins, Miloslav Polasek et al. demonstrate how merging quantitative PET signal with MRI contrast within a single molecule improves diagnostic capabilities.
