Tailoring nanoporous structures of Ge anodes for stable potassium-ion batteries

Electrochemistry Communications, 2019
We present here for the first time the electrochemical behavior of germanium anodes in potassium-ion batteries (KIBs). Nanoporous germanium (np-Ge) samples were fabricated by the chemical-dealloying method using Al as the sacrificial metal. Galvanostatic

Rediscovering Sodium Ionophores as Selective Agents for Lithium Recognition and Extraction

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Long‐classified sodium ionophores unexpectedly prefer lithium and act as efficient extractants in solid–liquid extraction (SLE). Readily prepared from catechol and haloacetamides, these hosts recover hydrated LiCl from multicomponent salt mixtures via a hydration‐assisted O···Li+ binding mode, enabling scalable lithium separation with Li/Na, Li/K, and ...

Molecular Design Strategies for High‐Voltage Organic Cathodes

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This work proposes molecular engineering strategies for high‐voltage organic cathode materials for Li‐ion batteries: (1) increase Li‐O coordination number (CN), (2) achieve a greater increase in aromaticity upon reduction (∆Aromaticity), and (3) add an electron‐withdrawing group (EWG), through a combined experimental and computational study on reported

Linking DSC/TGA to Cell Levels: Energetics, Evolved Gases, and Thermal Safety of NMC811‐Graphite Micro‐Cell

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A bottom‐up, component‐resolved framework combining DSC/TGA, evolved gas analysis, and in situ XRD reveals how decomposition pathways control energy release in partial and micro‐cell configurations. Separator‐free assemblies are dominated by cathode‐O2${\rm O}_2$/anode‐Li reactions, while the separator restricts oxygen transport, reshapes the reaction ...

Inverse Vulcanization Through Epoxide Chemistry: A Low Temperature Non‐Olefin Route to Sulfur‐Rich Polymer Networks

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Epoxide monomers undergo base‐catalyzed ring‐opening copolymerization with elemental sulfur to afford sulfur‐rich polymers under mild conditions. The resulting materials exhibit excellent mechanical performance, strong adhesion (up to 10 MPa on stainless steel), and outstanding reprocessability.
