  Solving global challenges such as renewable energy storage, plastics accumulation, and cancer requires new methods and strategies for chemical synthesis. This talk will highlight our efforts to design, synthesize, and discover new (macro)molecules to address these challenges. First, the invention of electrolytes for next-generation, high-energy-density batteries, and the construction of a high-throughput tool for closed-loop discovery of such materials, will be described. Then, a novel molecular strategy for circularizing the life cycles of intractable thermoplastics, high-performance engineering thermosets, and composites will be introduced. Finally, a new platform for dual-targeted antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) that significantly expands the payloads and mechanisms of action available to targeted cancer therapies will be discussed
