Li, Dan published the artcile1,2-dimethyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide as a multiple-functional redox mediator for Li-O2 batteries: In situ generation of a “”self-defensed”” SEI layer on Li anode, Formula: C10H22O5, the main research area is dimethyl propylimidazolium iodide redox mediator lithium oxygen battery anode.

How to develop a homogeneous redox mediator (RM) towards both ORR and OER and how to prevent the shuttle effect are two main issues for Li-O2 batteries thus far. Here, we firstly report 1,2-dimethyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide (DMPII), which serves multiple functions as a RM for discharge capacity promotion, a RM for charge potential reduction, and a Li anode protector for shuttling suppression by in situ generating a “”self-defensed”” SEI layer. Benefiting from these advantages, a cell with DMPII displays a stable cyclability with a low terminal charge potential of ∼3.6 V till the cell death, a considerable rate performance, and a good reversibility associated with Li2O2 formation and degradation Based on the exptl. and d. functional theory (DFT) calculation results, a working mechanism for a cell operation is also proposed. These results represent a promising progress in the development of multiple-functional RM for Li-O2 batteries. Moreover, we expect that this work gives an insight into the in situ protection of Li metal anode for board applications (e.g., Li-S batteries, all-solid-state Li-ion batteries, etc.).

Wang, Hua published the artcileGreatly promoted oxygen reduction reaction activity of solid catalysts by regulating the stability of superoxide in metal-O2 batteries, Related Products of ethers-buliding-blocks, the main research area is superoxide solid catalyst stability oxygen battery reduction reaction activity.

Oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs) with one- or two-electron-transfer pathways are the essential process for aprotic metal-oxygen batteries, in which the stability of superoxide intermediates/products (O2-, LiO2, NaO2, etc.) mainly dominates the ORR activity/stability and battery performance. However, little success in regulating the stability of the superoxides has been achieved due to their highly reactive characteristics. Herein, we identified and modulated the stability of superoxides by introducing anthraquinone derivatives as cocatalysts which functioned as superoxide trapper adsorbing the superoxides generated via surface-mediated ORR and then transferring them from the solid catalyst surface into electrolyte. Among the studied trappers, 1,4-difluoroanthraquinone (DFAQ) with electron-withdrawing groups showed the highest adsorption towards superoxides and could efficiently stabilize LiO2 in electrolyte, which greatly promoted the surface-mediated ORR rate and stability. This highlighted the magnitude of adsorption between the trapper and LiO2 on the ORR activity/stability. Using an aprotic Li-O2 battery as a model metal-O2 battery, the overall performance of the cell with DFAQ was substantially improved in terms of cell capacity, rate capability and cyclic stability. These results represent a significant advance in the understanding of ORR mechanisms and promoting the performance of metal-O2 batteries.

Maho, Anthony published the artcileAqueous processing and spray deposition of polymer-wrapped tin-doped indium oxide nanocrystals as electrochromic thin films, Synthetic Route of 143-24-8, the main research area is spray deposition polymer surface ITO nanocrystal electrochromic thin film.

Plasmonic metal oxide nanocrystals are interesting electrochromic materials because they display high modulation of IR light, fast switching kinetics, and durability. Nanocrystals facilitate solution-based and high-throughput deposition, but typically require handling hazardous nonaqueous solvents and further processing of the as-deposited film with energy-intensive or chem. treatments. We report on a method to produce aqueous dispersions of tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) by refunctionalizing the nanocrystal surface, previously stripped of its native hydrophobic ligands, with a hydrophilic poly(acrylic acid) polymer featuring a low d. of methoxy-terminated poly(ethylene oxide) grafts (PAA-mPEO4). To determine conditions favoring the adsorption of PAA-mPEO4 on ITO, we varied the pH and chem. species present in the exchange solution The extent of polymer wrapping on the nanocrystal surface can be tuned as a function of the pH to prevent aggregation in solution and deposit uniform, smooth, and optical quality spray coated thin films. We demonstrate the utility of polymer-wrapped ITO nanocrystal thin films as an electrochromic material and achieve fast, stable, and reversible near-IR modulation without the need to remove the polymer after deposition provided that a wrapping d. of ~20% by mass is not exceeded.

Shi, Kaiyuan published the artcileElectrochemical Polishing: An Effective Strategy for Eliminating Li Dendrites, COA of Formula: C10H22O5, the main research area is lithium dendrite electrochem polishing deposition density functional theory.

Dendritic growth of lithium (Li) is well-known to originate from deposition on rough and inhomogeneous Li-metal surfaces, and has long been a central problem in charging lithium metal batteries. Herein, a universal strategy is proposed for dendrite suppression by both in situ and ex situ electrochem. polishing of Li metal from the corrosion science perspective. This polishing technique greatly smoothens the surface of the Li and dynamically regenerates a homogeneous solid electrolyte interphase film simultaneously during cell cycling, which suppresses the nucleation sites for dendritic Li and establishes an ideal matrix for even deposition of Li. As a result, the polished Li presents a stable voltage profile and high Li utilization in both the sym. cells and the full cells coupled with LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) or LiFePO4. The long cycle life of polished Li electrodes clearly demonstrates a uniform dendrite-free deposition of Li. This strategy shows a new direction to realize a uniform deposition of Li by providing a regenerative homogeneous Li-surface during repeated cycling.

Li, Na published the artcileBacteriochlorin aggregates as dopant-free hole-transporting materials for perovskite solar cells, Product Details of C9H20O5, the main research area is bacteriochlorin aggregate hole transport perovskite solar cell electrochem property.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted great interests not only of academic field but also of industrial world toward practical applications in the last decade due to their extremely low production cost and excellent photo-phys. properties. Hole-transporting layer (HTL) as an integral component of PSC plays an important role in elevating its performance. In this work, five bacteriochlorophyll-a derivatives characterized by different C17-propionate residue were prepared and their J-type aggregates were investigated as HTLs of PSCs. It was confirmed that the nature of the introduced C17-propionate side chains have negligible effects on the electrochem. properties of main dye unit, such as the electronic absorption spectra and energy levels. However, the different lipophilicity, hydrophilicity, or hydrophobicity of chain characters affect the solubility of each dye component, resulting in diverse surface morphologies of their aggregate films as revealed by AFM observations. Furthermore, the five solid films prepared by spin-coating method showed discrepant charge extraction and transport abilities as HTLs, which were supported by both photo luminescence spectra and electrochem. impedance spectroscopy measurement results and were concluded to be the fundamental reason of the different PSC performance.

Yiu, Asteria published the artcileFacile Synthesis of Novel Thermo-Responsive Polyvalerolactones with Tunable LCSTs, COA of Formula: C9H20O5, the main research area is thermoresponsive polyvalerolactone biodegradable tunable lower critical solution temperature; oligoethylene glycol functionalized polyvalerolactone thermal tunable.

Thermoresponsive polymers have emerged as promising candidates for biomedical applications. Seven novel oligoethylene glycol (OEG) functionalized polyvalerolactones P1-P7 are synthesized from poly(α-allyl-δ-valerolactone) via thiol-ene addition post-polymerization modification. All seven polymers exhibit thermoresponsive behavior with lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) ranging from 13.8 to 92.2°C. Polymers P5-P7 are synthesized via thiol-ene addition reaction using two thiol mixtures at three different ratios. LCSTs of P5-P7 fall in between those of P1 and P2, and exhibit a linear relationship, indicating a tunable thermoresponsive system. This newly developed system offers great control for a desired thermoresponsive biocompatible, biodegradable polymeric system with desired LCSTs.

Bartolec, Boris published the artcileEmergence of Compartments Formed from Unconventional Surfactants in Dynamic Combinatorial Libraries, Computed Properties of 23783-42-8, the main research area is combinatorial library self assembly membrane.

Assembly processes can drive the selection of self-assembling mols. in dynamic combinatorial libraries, yielding self-synthesizing materials. We now show how such selection in a dynamic combinatorial library made from an amphiphilic building block which, by itself, assembles into micelles, can yield membranous aggregates ranging from vesicles to sponge phases. These aggregates are made from a mixture of unconventional surfactant mols., showing the power of dynamic combinatorial selection approaches for the discovery of new, not readily predictable, self-assembly motifs.

Bach, Nicolai N. published the artcileActive Mechanical Threading by a Molecular Motor, Safety of 2,5,8,11-Tetraoxatridecan-13-ol, the main research area is active mech threading mol motor; Hemithioindigo; Indigoids; Molecular Machines; Molecular Motors; Photochemistry.

Mol. motors transform external energy input into directional motions and offer exquisite precision for nano-scale manipulations. To make full use of mol. motor capacities, their directional motions need to be transmitted and used for powering downstream mol. events. Here we present a macrocyclic mol. motor structure able to perform repetitive mol. threading of a flexible tetraethylene glycol chain through the macrocycle. This mech. threading event is actively powered by the motor and leads to a direct translation of the unidirectional motor rotation into unidirectional translation motion (chain vs. ring). The mechanism of the active mech. threading is elucidated and the actual threading step is identified as a combined helix inversion and threading event. The established mol. machine function resembles the crucial step of macroscopic weaving or sewing processes and therefore offers a first entry point to a “”mol. knitting”” counterpart.

Kichambare, Padmakar published the artcilePhthalocyanine as catalyst for rechargeable lithium-oxygen batteries, Computed Properties of 143-24-8, the main research area is phthalocyanine catalyst rechargeable lithium oxygen battery.

Tetrabutylammonium lithium phthalocyanine (TBA-LiPc) can function as a soluble catalyst in low-donor-number (DN) solvents such as tetraethylene glycol di-Me ether (TEGDME) (DN=16.6) for rechargeable lithium-oxygen cells. It is able to do so given that mol. oxygen forms a complex with the lithium phthalocyanine anion thereby keeping oxygen and the reaction intermediates in solution D. functional theory (DFT) calculations show the mechanism for complex formation and cyclic voltammetry results support the notion of reaction intermediates that are soluble in solution during oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions. Deep discharge of a lithium-oxygen cell with TBA-LiPc had a capacity that was 3.6 times greater (5.28 mAh) than a similar cell with no TBA-LiPc (1.47 mAh). Long-term cycling of a lithium-oxygen cell with TBA-LiPc at a fixed capacity of 0.55 mAh did not fail after 100 cycles. A similar cell without TBA-LiPc failed after 37 cycles. Long-term cycling of a lithium-oxygen cell with TBA-LiPc and using natural air in low humidity as the source of oxygen cycled 151 times before cell failure.

Furuya, Ryota published the artcilePotential dependence of the impedance of solid electrolyte interphase in some electrolytes, Application of 2,5,8,11,14-Pentaoxapentadecane, the main research area is solid electrolyte interphase electrode potential impedance.

The dependence of the impedances of lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) thin film and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed by decomposition of some electrolytes on the electrode potential was investigated by electrochem. impedance spectroscopy. A LiPON thin film was prepared on a Ni electrode by radio frequency magnetron sputtering of Li3PO4 under nitrogen atm. The resistance of the LiPON thin film decreased with lowering the electrode potential in an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide (BMPTFSA) containing 1 M LiTFSA. The similar potential dependence of the impedance of the SEI formed in 1 M LiTFSA/BMPTFSA was observed, suggesting that the Li+ carrier d. in the LiPON thin film and SEI increased with lowering the electrode potential probably due to the doping of Li+ from the electrolyte into the thin Li+ conductors in order to compensate the neg. charge on the electrode. On the other hand, the potential dependence of the SEI formed in LiTFSA-tetraglyme (G4) solvate ionic liquid was insignificant because of the high concentration of Li+ in the SEI and electrolyte. The resistance of the SEI formed in 1 M LiClO4/EC (ethylene carbonate) + DMC (di-Me carbonate) (1 : 1 vol%) did not depend on the electrode potential, suggesting the thin and highly Li+ conductive SEI is formed in the organic electrolyte.
