Proline-catalyzed aldol reactions between enolizable ketones and aromatic aldehydes can be carried out in propylene carbonate. When enantiomerically pure propylene carbonate is used, the combination of (R)-proline and (R)-propylene carbonate constitutes a matched pair, while (S)-proline and (R)-propylene carbonate constitutes

Ionic liquid-tethered nanoparticle hybrid electrolytes comprised of silica nanoparticles densely grafted with imidazolium-based ionic liquid chains are shown to retard lithium dendrite growth in rechargeable batteries with metallic lithium anodes. The electrolytes are demonstrated in full cell studies using both
