Three ChemRxiv preprints this week push carbon capture in three directions: a room-temperature methanation trick, a MOF that regenerates on sunlight, and a redox carrier that survives oxygen.

Three ChemRxiv preprints: a reusable Raman chip that reads ethanol in gasoline, a freezing-droplet test for a breast cancer biomarker, and a neural net that predicts polymer membrane permeability.

A validated 'turnover-frequency control' principle for endergonic reactions, a CuPt single-atom alloy that splits propane aromatization across two metals under light, and a finding that dilute CO2 beats pure CO2 for C2 products — all in ChemRxiv preprints this week.

ChemRxiv preprints this week propose internally polarized frameworks that lengthen charge-carrier lifetime 40-fold in organic solar cells, a plasmonic design that lets monolayer MoS2 split water stably under 1 sun, and a nanocrystal treatment that lifts perovskite efficiency to 22.19%.

Three preprints cut the cost of seeing: mixed-granularity pruning, two-phase pruning, frame targeting.

Three chemistry preprints: smarter small-data discovery, coding polymers, greening synthesis.
