Graphene (GR)-wrapped rose-like Bi2O2CO3 (WBGR) core–shell structures are synthesized to maximize their contact area and quantum efficiency.

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is considered to be a promising route for biofuel production from wet biomass.

The synthesis of halogenated and trifluoromethylated α-boryl ketones via a one-pot oxidative difunctionalization of alkenyl MIDA boronates is reported. These novel densely functionalized organoborons bearing synthetically and functionally valuable carbonyl, halogen/CF3 and boronate moieties within the same molecule are synthetically challenging for the chemist, but have great synthetic potential, as demonstrated by their applications in a straightforward synthesis of borylated furans. The generality of this reaction was extensively investigated. This reaction is attractive since the starting materials, alkenyl MIDA boronates, are easily accessible.
