In particular, the talk will highlight our work on flexible electronics, zero-power devices, monolayer memory (atomristors), non-volatile RF switches, and wearable tattoo sensors. Non-volatile memory devices based on 2D ...
Nickel catalysts exhibit unique properties. Open-shell configurations are relatively stable and readily accessible, which lead to radical pathways. Moreover, the reduction potential of Ni is considerably lower than that of Pd. These properties have been employed to functionalize alkenes. Enantioselective 1,2-dicarbofunctionalization of alkenes allows access to molecules with intricate substitution ...
