Rational Electrolyte Design for Elevated-Temperature and Thermally Stable Lithium-Ion Batteries with Nickel-Rich Cathodes

As the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) increases, the shortened cycle life and the increased safety hazard of LIBs are drawing increasing concerns. To address such challenges, a series of localized high-concentration electrolytes (LHCEs) based on a solvating-solvent mixture of tetramethylene sulfone and trimethyl phosphate and a high flash-point diluent 1H,1H,5H-octafluoropentyl 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether were designed. The LHCEs exhibited non-flammability and greatly suppressed heat release at high temperatures, which would potentially improve the safety performance of the LIBs. Moreover, the optimal LHCE achieved capacity retentions of 87.1% and 81.7% in graphite||LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 cells after 500 cycles at 25 °C and 45 °C, respectively, which were significantly better than the conventional electrolyte, whose capacity retentions were only 75.2% and 38.5% under the same condition. Mechanistic studies revealed that the LHCE not only formed a more robust solid electrolyte interphase, but also exhibited improved anodic stability, compared with the conventional electrolyte. Further, this work sheds light in rational electrolyte design for high energy density LIBs with high battery performance and low safety concerns.

Examining Metal Identity and Proximity Effects on Acetylene Hydrogenation with Azolate-Based MOFs

Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) are an attractive fuel source due to their compatibility with existing transportation methods and ease of use. However, they suffer from sluggish (de)hydrogenation kinetics. One promising platform for developing next-generation catalysts is metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which can enable systematic interrogation into the influence of metal identity and spatial arrangement. In this study, the effect of the coordination environment was investigated using Ni- and Co-based azolate MOFs: MFU-4l-OH (M x Zn 5–x (OH) 4 (BTDD) 3 ; x = 4 for M = Co and x = 3 for M = Ni, H 2 BTDD = bis(1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b][4′,5′-i])dibenzo[1,4]dioxin), composed of single-site nodes, and M(OH) 2 BBTA (M = Ni, Co; H 2 BBTA = 1H,5H-benzo(1,2-d:4,5-d’)bistriazole), composed of extended chain-type nodes. The catalysts were characterized by isotherms, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. Acetylene hydrogenation activity under steady state conditions (150 °C, 1:1 C 2 H 2 :H 2 ) revealed higher turnover frequencies (TOFs) up 1.17 × 10 –2 mol C 2 H 2 mol −1 Ni min −1 and 1.98 × 10 –3 mol C 2 H 2 mol −1 Co min −1 for Ni-MFU-4l-OH and Co-MFU-4l-OH, respectively, compared to their BBTA analogues. However, the Co-based MOFs, particularly Co 2 (OH) 2 -BBTA, exhibited greater selectivity (up to 19%) for the fully hydrogenated ethane product. Isosteric heat of adsorption (Q st ) measurements for ethylene and ethane revealed that the BBTA framework had stronger binding to the products than MFU-4l. Furthermore, these findings demonstrate that metal identity and coordination environment may modulate acetylene hydrogenation performance, leading to design principles for tuning LOHC hydrogenation catalysts.

Trap States in Reduced Colloidal Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles Have Different Proton Stoichiometries

Added electrons and holes in semiconducting (nano)materials typically occupy “trap states,” which often determine their photophysical properties and chemical reactivity. However, trap states are usually ill-defined, with few insights into their stoichiometry or structure. Our laboratory previously reported that aqueous colloidal TiO 2 nanoparticles prepared from TiCl 4 + H 2 O have two classes of electron trap states, termed Blue and Red. Herein, we show that the formation of Red from oxidized TiO 2 requires 1e – + 1H + , while Blue requires 1e – + 2H + . The two states are in a protic equilibrium, Blue ⇌ Red + H + , with K eq = 2.65 mM. The Blue states in the TiO 2 NPs behave just like a soluble molecular acid with this K eq as their K a , as supported by solvent isotope studies. Because the trap states have different compositions, their population and depopulation occur with the making and breaking of chemical bonds and not (as commonly assumed) just by the movement of electrons. In addition, the direct observation of a 2H + /1e – trap state contradicts the emerging H atom transfer (1H + /1e – ) paradigm for oxide/solution interfaces. Finally, this work emphasizes the importance of chemical stoichiometries, not just electronic energies, in understanding and directing the reactivity at solid/solution interfaces.

Optimized Electrolyte with High Electrochemical Stability and Oxygen Solubility for Lithium–Oxygen and Lithium–Air Batteries

Lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries with high reversibility require a stable electrolyte against the side reactions with Li metal anode and reactive oxygen species. Moreover, an electrolyte which can effectively utilize the low partial pressure of oxygen in atmosphere has significance effect on the practical application lithium-air batteries. In this study, we developed a localized high concentration electrolyte (LHCE) using 1H,1H,5H-Octafluoropentyl 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether (OTE) as a diluent, which satisfies all these conditions at the same time. The OTE-based LHCE exhibits much improved electrochemical performances in Li-O2 batteries and Li-air batteries compared to the conventional electrolyte and high concentration electrolyte. The design principle of this novel electrolyte also provides an important guideline and reference for future researches of electrolytes in Li-O2 and Li-air batteries.

Gas phase formation of phenalene via 10π-aromatic, resonantly stabilized free radical intermediates

For the last few decades, the Hydrogen-Abstraction/aCetylene-Addition (HACA) mechanism has been fundamental in aiding our understanding of the source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in combustion processes and in circumstellar envelopes of carbon rich stars. However, the reaction mechanisms driving high temperature molecular mass growth beyond triphenylene (C 18 H 12 ) along with the link between PAHs and graphene-type nanostructures as identified in carbonaceous meteorites such as in Murchison and Allende has remained elusive. By exploring the reaction of the 1-naphthyl radical (C 10 H 7 ˙) with methylacetylene (CH 3 CCH) and allene (H 2 CCCH 2 ) under conditions prevalent in carbon-rich circumstellar environments and combustion systems, we provide compelling evidence on a facile formation of 1H-phenalene (C 13 H 10 ) – the central molecular building block of graphene-type nanostructures. Beyond PAHs, molecular mass growth processes from 1H-phenalene via ring-annulation through C3 molecular building blocks may ultimately lead to two-dimensional structures such as graphene nano flakes and after condensation of multiple layers to graphitized carbon. Furthermore, these fundamental reaction mechanisms are of crucial significance to facilitate an understanding of the origin and chemical evolution of carbon in our Galaxy.

Investigation of the role of hydrogen bonding in ionic liquid-like salts with both N- and S-soft donors

In search of ionic liquids (ILs) with multiple types of soft donor atoms capable of preferentially complexing a range of soft metal ions over harder ions, we investigated structural clues to the role of hydrogen bonding in IL behavior through a series of salts with anions containing both N- and S-donor atoms based on azole thiolates. Reaction of equimolar amounts of triethylamine (Et 3 N) or diisobutylamine (DBA) with 1-phenyl-1H-tetrazole-5-thiol (PhTzSH), 1-methyl-1H-tetrazole-5-thiol (MeTzSH), or 5-methyl-1,3,4-dithiazole-2-thiol (MeDiTSH) yielded [Et 3 NH][MeTzS] (1), a yellow liquid, and the low melting yellow solids [DBAH][MeTzS] (2), [Et 3 NH][PhTzS] (3), [DBAH][PhTzS] (4), [Et 3 NH][MeDiTS] (5), and [DBAH][MeDiTS] (6). Thermal analysis revealed that all of them qualify as ILs with melting points below 100 °C. Single crystal X-ray structure analysis of 2–6 revealed the presence of an extensive H-bonding network that includes the rare N–H$\cdots$S hydrogen bonds in 3, 4, and 6. These weaker interactions appear to significantly influence thermal behavior, where strong bonding leads to higher melting temperatures and lower decomposition points.

A unified reaction network on the formation of five-membered ringed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their role in ring expansion processes through radical–radical reactions

Exploiting a chemical microreactor in combination with an isomer-selective product identification through fragment-free photoionization utilizing tunable vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light in tandem with the detection of the ionized molecules by a high resolution reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (Re-TOF-MS), the present investigation reveals molecular mass growth processes to four distinct polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons carrying two six- and one five-membered ring (C 13 H 10 ): 3H-cyclopenta[a]naphthalene, 1H-cyclopenta[b]naphthalene, 1H-cyclopenta[a]naphthalene, and fluorene in the gas phase. Temperatures of 973 and 1023 K simulating conditions in combustion settings along with circumstellar envelopes of carbon-rich stars and planetary nebulae. These reactions highlight the importance of methyl-substituted aromatic reactants (biphenyl, naphthalene) which can be converted to the methylene (–CH 2 ˙) motive by hydrogen abstraction or photolysis. Upon reaction with acetylene, methylene-substituted aromatics carrying a hydrogen atom at the ortho position of the ring can be then converted to cyclopentadiene-annulated aromatics thus providing a versatile pathway to five-membered ring aromatics at elevated temperatures.

Effect of surface modification on silica supported Ti catalysts for cyclohexene oxidation with vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide

Surface modification via grafting of organic moieties on a Lewis acid catalyst (silica supported Ti catalyst, Ti-SiO 2 ) alters the activation of H 2 O 2 in vapor-phase cyclohexene epoxidation. Grafting a fluorous group (1H,1H-perfluoro-octyl) suppresses activity of Ti-SiO 2 . Conversely, grafting either a nonpolar group (octyl) or a polar aprotic group (triethylene glycol monomethyl ether) enhances rates and shifts selectivity toward trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol.

An in-silico NMR laboratory for nuclear magnetic shieldings computed via finite fields: Exploring nucleus-specific renormalizations of MP2 and MP3

Here we developed and implemented a method-independent, fully numerical, finite difference approach to calculating nuclear magnetic resonance shieldings, using gauge-including atomic orbitals. The resulting capability can be used to explore non-standard methods, given only the energy as a function of finite-applied magnetic fields and nuclear spins. For example, standard second-order Møller-Plesset theory (MP2) has well-known efficacy for 1H and 13C shieldings and known limitations for other nuclei such as 15N and 17O. It is, therefore, interesting to seek methods that offer good accuracy for 15N and 17O shieldings without greatly increased compute costs, as well as exploring whether such methods can further improve 1H and 13C shieldings. Using a small molecule test set of 28 species, we assessed two alternatives: κ regularized MP2 (κ-MP2), which provides energy-dependent damping of large amplitudes, and MP2.X, which includes a variable fraction, X, of third-order correlation (MP3). The aug-cc-pVTZ basis was used, and coupled cluster with singles and doubles and perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] results were taken as reference values. Our κ-MP2 results reveal significant improvements over MP2 for 13C and 15N, with the optimal κ value being element-specific. κ-MP2 with κ = 2 offers a 30% rms error reduction over MP2. For 15N, κ-MP2 with κ = 1.1 provides a 90% error reduction vs MP2 and a 60% error reduction vs CCSD. On the other hand, MP2.X with a scaling factor of 0.6 outperformed CCSD for all heavy nuclei. These results can be understood as providing renormalization of doubles amplitudes to partially account for neglected triple and higher substitutions and offer promising opportunities for future applications.

Crystal structures of ‘ALternative Isoinformational ENgineered’ DNA in B-form

The first structural model of duplex DNA reported in 1953 by Watson & Crick presented the double helix in B-form, the form that genomic DNA exists in much of the time. Thus, artificial DNA seeking to mimic the properties of natural DNA should also be able to adopt B-form. Using a host–guest system in which Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase serves as the host and DNA as the guests, we determined high-resolution crystal structures of three complexes including 5'-CTTBPPBBSSZZSAAG, 5'-CTTSSPBZPSZBBAAG and 5'-CTTZZPBSBSZPPAAG with 10 consecutive unnatural nucleobase pairs in B-form within self-complementary 16 bp duplex oligonucleotides. We refer to this ALternative Isoinformational ENgineered (ALIEN) genetic system containing two nucleobase pairs (P:Z, pairing 2-amino-imidazo-[1,2-a]-1,3,5-triazin-(8H)-4-one with 6-amino-5-nitro-(1H)-pyridin-2-one, and B:S, 6-amino-4-hydroxy-5-(1H)-purin-2-one with 3-methyl-6-amino-pyrimidin-2-one) as ALIEN DNA. We characterized both position- and sequence-specific helical, nucleobase pair and dinucleotide step parameters of P:Z and B:S pairs in the context of B-form DNA. We conclude that ALIEN DNA exhibits structural features that vary with sequence. Further, Z can participate in alternative stacking modes within a similar sequence context as captured in two different structures. This finding suggests that ALIEN DNA may have a larger repertoire of B-form structures than natural DNA.

Nanoscale modulation of flat bands via controllable charge density wave defects in 4⁢𝐻⁡𝑏−Ta⁢S 2

Electron correlation is a main driver of exotic quantum phases and their interplay. The 4H b-TaS 2 system, possessing an intrinsic heterostructure of 1T- and 1H -TaS 2 monolayers, offers a unique opportunity to control electron correlation by distorting the atomic lattice or tuning interlayer coupling. Here, we investigated intrinsically deformed charge-density waves (CDWs) in the 1T layer of 4H b-TaS 2 to elucidate and control their effects on flat bands using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/S) combined with first-principles calculations. We identified two types of CDW defects: Type 1 has structural distortion and locally suppressed flat bands, while Type 2 features an increased flat band filling factor of intact CDW structure. Density functional theory calculations indicate that a sulfur vacancy in the 1T layer distorts the CDW structure and gives rise to a Type 1, whereas a sulfur vacancy in the 1H layer reduces the interlayer charge transfer and leads to a Type 2. Furthermore, we demonstrated creating and erasing individual CDW defects via STM manipulation. Here, our findings provide a pathway to not only tune flat bands but also selectively manipulate the interaction between CDW, the atomic lattice, and interlayer coupling in strongly correlated systems with atomic precision.

Extended Interacting Boson Model with Configuration Mixing Description For 98 Mo

An extended version of the interacting boson model (IBM), encompassing two-particle–two-hole (2p-2h) excitations originating from below a valence shell and one-particle–one-hole (1p-1h) excitations extending to the upper next-nearest major shell, is developed to investigate cross-shell excitation effects in the transitional nucleus 98 Mo. This extended IBM framework is utilized to reproduce experimentally observed properties such as low-lying positive-parity level energies, 𝐵⁡(𝐸⁢2) values, and the electric quadrupole moment of the 2$^{+}_{1}$ state, 𝜌 2 ⁡(𝐸⁢0, 0$^{+}_{2}$ → 0$^{+}_{g}$), as well as the strength functions of the isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR) and the isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance (ISGQR) in 98 Mo. It is shown that the extended consistent-𝑄 IBM, incorporating configuration mixing of both 2p-2h excitations from below the valence shell and 1p-1h excitations to the upper next-nearest major shell, describes the low-lying structural properties and the ISGMR and ISGQR strength distributions of 98 Mo quite well, with the ISGMR and the ISGQR strength distributions comparable to the results of the self-consistent quasiparticle random-phase approximation with Skyrme interactions.

Additives in Localized High Concentration Electrolytes for Safe Lithium-Ion Batteries

In this work, the effects of various additives in a localized high concentration electrolyte (LHCE) on the cycling performance of lithium (Li)-ion batteries were studied. The LHCEs utilize trimethyl phosphate as a flame-retarding solvent and 1H,1H,5H-octafluoropentyl 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl ether as a medium-high flash point diluent, for the purpose to reduce the electrolyte flammability and improve the battery safety, which are not possessed by the conventional electrolytes of LiPF 6 in organic carbonates due to their high flammability. The LHCEs have unique solvation structure which enables the use of flame-retardant solvents to greatly decrease the electrolyte flammability as well as enhance the battery cycling stability. However, the additives added in the LHCEs result in different battery performances. The organic carbonate additives largely reduce the initial capacities although the cell capacity can be partially recovered with cycling. The two phosphate salt additives behave better than the organic carbonate additives in terms of cell capacity and cycling stability. More cell performance evaluation will be conducted and the detailed characterization will be performed to investigate the root causes of different behaviors of additives in the LHCEs on battery performances.

Two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) NMR spectra of lignin isolated from Populus trichocarpa residues after CELF pretreatment and CBP fermentation

Here we present a curated dataset of a series of two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of lignin isolated from a woody energy crop (Populus trichocarpa) residues after co-solvent enhanced lignocellulosic fractionation (CELF) pretreatment and consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) process. The natural poplar variant GW-9947 from the Center for Bioenergy Innovation (CBI) was used. The poplar was knife milled and passed through a 1 mm sieve. The CELF pretreatment was performed in a Parr autoclave reactor with 7.5 wt % solids loading, 0.5 wt% H2SO4 as catalyst at 150°C with 15, 25 and 30 minutes, respectively. Tetrahydrofuran was added in a 1:1 mass ratio with water as the pretreatment solvent. The residues from CELF pretreatment were then subjected to CBP using the bacterium C. thermocellum DSM 1313. CBP fermentations were performed at 60 °C in a shaker at 50 grams/L solids loadings. Lignin was isolated from the pretreated samples after ball-milling in a porcelain jar with ceramic balls via Retsch PM 200 at 580 rpm for 2.5 h followed by enzymatic hydrolysis in acetate buffer (pH 4.8, 50 °C) for 48 h. The lignin samples were characterized using 13C–1H HSQC experiments which were performed in a Bruker Avance III HD 500 MHz NMR spectrometer operating at a frequency of 125.12 MHz for the 13C nucleus. A standard Bruker pulse sequence was used on a Prodigy platform cryoprobe. The dry lignin samples were dissolved in deuterated dimethylsulfoxide for HSQC experiments. The spectra were acquired under the following acquisition conditions: 210 ppm spectral width in F1 (13C) dimension with 256 data points and 11 ppm spectral width in F2 (1H) dimension with 1024 data points, a 90° pulse, a one bond C–H coupling constant of 145 Hz, a 1.0 s pulse delay, and 64 scans. All the data was processed using the TopSpin 3.6 software (Bruker BioSpin). The NMR spectra provides structural characteristics information about lignin remaining in solids after CELF (150 °C with 15, 25 and 30 minutes) process and C. thermocellum CBP.

Two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) NMR spectra of lignin isolated from field grown transgenic poplar

Here we present a curated dataset of a series of two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of lignin isolated from a field grown transgenic poplar engineered with a monolignol 4-O-methyltransferase (MOMT4). The poplar was collected from a 2-year-old rotation trees within a three-year field trial experiment. The poplar was Soxhlet-extracted with toluene/ethanol and the extractives-free poplar was then ball-milled in a Retsch PM100 planetary ball mill using a porcelain jar with ceramic balls at 600 rpm for 2 h (in 5 min on and 5 min off cycles to avoid excessive sample heating). The ball-milled materials were then subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis for 48 h followed by centrifugation and washing with deionized water. The solid residue was extracted twice with 96:4 (v/v) 1,4-dioxane/water mixture at room temperature overnight. The extracts were combined, rotary evaporated, and freeze-dried to recover the lignin. The dry lignin samples were dissolved in deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide for NMR experiments. 13C–1H HSQC experiments were performed in a Bruker Avance III HD 500 MHz NMR spectrometer operating at a frequency of 125.12 MHz for the 13C nucleus using a standard Bruker pulse sequence (hsqcetgpsisp2.2) on a Prodigy platform cryoprobe. The NMR spectra were acquired under the following acquisition conditions: 220 ppm spectral width in F1 (13C) dimension with 256 data points and 12 ppm spectral width in F2 (1H) dimension with 1024 data points, a 90° pulse, a one bond C–H coupling constant of 145 Hz, a 1.0 s pulse delay, and 64 scans. All the data was processed using the Bruker’s TopSpin 3.6 software. The NMR spectra provides structural characteristics information about lignin in field grown transgenic MOMT4 poplar. Additional meta data is embedded in the raw spectra figures.
