Redox-based energy scavenging devices are based on utilizing oxidation and reduction reactions to generate electricity. The driving forces for these come from many sustainable sources such as human fluids, waste heat, photon energy.

Oxidation-reduction reactions are essential to life as the core mechanisms of energy transfer. A large body of evidence in recent years presents an extensive and complex network of interactions between the circadian and cellular redox systems. Recent advances show that cellular redox state undergoes a ~24-h (circadian) oscillation in most tissues and is conserved across the domains of life. In ...

Ag and Ru nanoparticles stabilized by H5PV2Mo10O40, prepared by a sequence of redox reactions and supported on alpha-alumina, were effective catalysts for the direct aerobic epoxidation of alkenes in the liquid phase.

Electrochemical or photo-electrochemical reactions in both electrospray ionization and laser desorption ionization are discussed stressing the role of the electrode reaction in influencing the ionization process. In particular, upon application of a high voltage during electrospray ionization, the emitter includes a working electrode, where redox reactions are observed, such as electro-generati...

Cross-linked polymer films are prepared by the alternating copolymerization of 4-chloromethylstyrene and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane comonomers, which is followed by the postfunctional surface modification with donor-acceptor chromophores or redox active components using click chemistry reactions.

A series of 1,1'-ferrocenedicarboxylate-based two-dimensional porous coordination polymers were synthesized by incorporating different diamine co-ligands. These compounds immobilized on electrodes, exhibited reversible redox reactions, arising from ferrocenyl moiety.

Effects of Fe2O3 addition (2-20 wt%) with 1 h mechanical activation on redox reactions of Co3O4 were studied by TG/DSC, SEM, and XRD analyses. The results showed that a Fe2O3 addition from 2 to 15 wt% increases the oxygen release from 1.4 to 3.4 wt% and decreases the reduction onset temperature from 1030 to 960 °C, while it increases the oxygen uptake value and re-oxidation onset temperature re...

Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes primarily catalyze mixed-function oxidation reactions, plus some reductions and rearrangements of oxygenated species, e.g. prostaglandins. Most of these reactions can be rationalized in a paradigm involving Compound I, a high-valent iron-oxygen complex (FeO), to explain seemingly unusual reactions including ring couplings, ring expansion and contraction, and fusio...

One-pot reactions based on catalytic isomerization of alkenes not only offer the inherent advantages atom-, step- and redox-economy but also enable preparation value-added products that would be difficult to access by conventional methods.
