A phosphonium salt speeds the delivery of protons and boosts the performance of an electrochemical Haber-Bosch process to record levels (Science, 2021 DOI: 10.1126/science.abg2371). The Haber-Bosch ...

Substituting amines with phosphonium-based cations could greatly improve the performance of mRNA-loaded polymeric micelles, report scientists. By adopting this innovative strategy, they managed to ...

Typically, RTILs are organic salts based on ammonium, phosphonium, pyridinium, or most commonly imidazolium cations, plus a large relatively non-Lewis basic anion ...

Ten years ago, research on ionic liquids was a relatively unknown backwater of chemistry. Few chemists were familiar with these low-melting-point salts that have negligible vapor pressure, and barely ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
