RESUMEN
In deserts, sedimentation from frequent dust activities on solar cells poses a substantial technical challenge, reducing efficiency and necessitating advanced cost-inefficient cleaning mechanisms. Herein, a novel sandfish scale-inspired self-healing fluorinated copolymer-based triboelectric layer is directly incorporated on top of the polysilicon solar cell for sustained hybrid energy harvesting. The transparent biomimetic layer, with distinctive saw-tooth microstructured morphology, exhibits ultra-low sand adhesion and high abrasion-resistant properties, inhibits sedimentation deposition on solar cells, and concurrently harvests kinetic energy from wind-driven sand particles through triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). The film exhibits a low friction coefficient (0.149), minimal sand adhesion force (27 nN), and a small wear area (327 µm2). In addition, over 2 months, a solar cell with the sandfish scale-inspired structure demonstrates only a 16% decline in maximum power output compared to the bare solar cell, which experiences a 60% decline. Further, the sandfish scale-based TENG device's electrical output is fully restored to its original value after a 6-h self-healing cycle and maintains consistent stable outputs. These results highlight the exceptional advantages of employing biomimetic self-healing materials as robust triboelectric layers, showcasing sustained device stability and durability for prolonged use in harsh desert environments, ultimately contributing to a low cost-of-electricity generation paradigm.
RESUMEN
C-1 Glycals serve as pivotal intermediates in synthesizing diverse C-glycosyl compounds and natural products, necessitating the development of concise, efficient and user-friendly methods to obtain C-1 glycosides is essential. The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of glycal boronates is notable for its reliability and non-toxic nature, but glycal donor stability remains a challenge. Herein, we achieve a significant breakthrough by developing stable glycal boronates, effectively overcoming the stability issue in glycal-based Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. Leveraging the balanced reactivity and stability of our glycal boronates, we establish a robust palladium-catalyzed glycal-based Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, facilitating the formation of various C(sp2)-C(sp), C(sp2)-C(sp2), and C(sp2)-C(sp3) bonds under mild conditions. Notably, we expand upon this achievement by developing the DNA-compatible glycal-based cross-coupling reaction to synthesize various glycal-DNA conjugates. With its excellent reaction reactivity, stability, generality, and ease of handling, the method holds promise for widespread appication in the preparation of C-glycosyl compounds and natural products.

C-Glycosyl peptides possess excellent metabolic stability and therapeutic properties and thus play critical roles in biological studies as well as drug discoveries. However, the limited accessibility of C-glycosyl amino acids has significantly hindered the broader research of their structural features and mode of action. Herein, for the first time we disclose a novel visible-light-driven radical conjugate addition of 1,4-dihydropyridine (DHP)-derived glycosyl esters with dehydroalanine derivatives, generating C-glycosyl amino acids and C-glycosyl peptides in good yields with excellent stereoselectivities. Redox-active glycosyl esters, as readily accessible and bench-stable radical precursors, could be easily converted to glycosyl radicals via anomeric C(sp3)-O bond homolysis under mild conditions. Importantly, the generality and practicality of this transformation were fully demonstrated in >40 examples including 2-dexosugars, oligosaccharides, oligopeptides, and complex drug molecules. Given its mild reaction conditions, robust sugar scope, and high anomeric control and diastereoselectivity, the method presented herein could find widespread utility in the preparation of C(sp3)-linked sugar-based peptidomimetics.

A Brønsted acid catalyzed cyclization of aminodiazoesters with aldehydes is described. This reaction features broad substrate generality and functional group compatibility, affording a wide range of 5-7-membered 3-carboxylate-N-heterocycles containing different functional groups. The title products are able to be further elaborated through simple functional group transformations to produce synthetically useful N-heterocycles.
RESUMEN
Lewis acid enables the electrophilic carbooxygenative cyclization of alkynols with N,O-aminals. The new process proceeds efficiently under very mild conditions via a pathway that is opposite to classical carbo-metalation. These reactions exhibit broad substrate generality and functional group compatibility, leading to a wide variety of 5-8-membered oxacycles bearing diverse functional groups. The cyclization products can be elaborated via simple functional group transformations to generate synthetically useful oxacycles.
RESUMEN
An efficient new formal insertion strategy via combination of reductive elimination and oxidative addition sequence was reported, in which the transient N-acyliminium ions formed via hydrocarbonylation function as key intermediates. This strategy has enabled a novel palladium-catalyzed hydrocarbonylative cyclization of azaarene-tethered alkenes or dienes via sequential insertion of a CâC bond, CO, and a CâN bond into palladium-hydride bonds. This method provides a new and highly efficient synthetic approach to quinolizinones and its derivatives with extended π-conjugated systems, possessing tunable emission wavelengths and good photoluminescence capabilities.
