Nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)$_2$) is a promising pseudocapacitive material owing to its high theoretical capacitance and reversible Ni$^{2+}$/Ni$^{3+}$ redox activity. Here we demonstrate that carbonate incorporation during hydrothermal synthesis is the key structural factor limiting its electrochemical performance [...]

Entropy engineering offers innovative design opportunities for synthesizing new thermoelectric materials by integrating conflicting physical parameters. Optimization of configurational entropy holds the potential to simultaneously reduce the thermal conductivity through inherent disorder and enhance the Seebeck coefficient by symmetrizing the crystal lattice, both of which are crucial to augmenting the thermoelectric performance of a crystalline solid [...]

Copper-containing enzymes catalyze the mono-oxygenation of aromatic and aliphatic substrates in nature. Herein, we report on the synthesis of a new dinuclear copper complex supported by an octadentate ligand with a pyridazine backbone. [...]
