Introduction Transition metals have had a central role in the fields of organic synthesis and catalysis for over a century.1, 2 Most commonly, complexes of precious transitions metals such as rhenium, osmium, platinum, and palladium, have been used in single-site, homogeneous catalysis for a range of transformations, such as dehydrocoupling, alkene polymerisation, hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, hydroboration, and hydrophosphination.

Improving Long-term Capacity Retention of NMC811 via Lithium Aluminate Coatings Using Mixed-metal Alkoxides Ni-rich LiNixMnyCozO2 (NMC) materials such as NMC811 (80% Ni) are promising Li-ion battery cathodes due to their high energy density and low cost. However, their reactive surfaces pose a practical challenge for their handling and storage, due to their fast degradation under operation or storage in ambient air.
