A family of mesothermal ionic liquids comprised of tetraarylphosphonium cations and the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) amidate anion are shown to be materials of exceptional thermal stability, enduring (without decomposition) heating in air at 300 degrees C for three months. It is further established that three specific structural elements - phenoxy, phenacyl, and phenyl sulfonyl - can be present in the cation structures without compromising their thermal stability, and that their incorporation has specific impacts on the melting points of the salts. Most importantly, it is shown that the ability of such a structural component to lower a salt melting point is tied to its ability to lower cation-cation repulsions in the material.

Anionic Ring-Opening Polymerizations of N-Sulfonylaziridines in Ionic Liquids

Chandan Giri, Sarah E. Sisk, Louis Reisman, Irshad Kammakakam, Jason E. Bara, Kevin N. West, Brooks D. Rabideau, Paul A. Rupar

Summary: The study explores the anionic ring-opening polymerization of sulfonylaziridines in ionic liquids. In imidazolium ILs, the polymerization is not controlled due to poor solubility and solvent-transfer reactions, while in phosphonium ILs, it is controlled and living, allowing for sequential block copolymer synthesis. The slower polymerization rates in ILs compared to traditional polar solvents like DMF may be attributed to better monomer/anion organization in DMF and poorer mobilities in ILs.

Selective adsorption of volatile organic compounds in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)

Benjamin Siu, Aminur Rashid Chowdhury, Ziwen Yan, Simon M. Humphrey, Tanya Hutter

Summary: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are harmful air pollutants that originate from industrial chemical processes. Metalorganic frameworks (MOFs) have been studied as potential adsorbents for VOC capture due to their flexible structure and large surface area. This review summarizes recent developments in the selective adsorption of different classes of VOCs by MOFs and discusses methods for enhancing the hydrophobicity of MOF micropores. It also explores the commercialization and scale-up of MOFs in various industries.

Santosh R. P. Bandlamudi, Jimmie L. McGehee, Albaraa D. Mando, Mohammad Soltani, C. Heath Turner, James H. Davis, Kevin N. West, Brooks D. Rabideau

Summary: The study explores the behavior of hydrocarbons when mixed with a thermally robust ionic liquid, showing that hydrocarbons with a predominant aromatic character readily mix with the IL, while those with a predominant aliphatic character are largely immiscible. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal the expansion of the IL network and the nature of the ion-rich phase, shedding light on the interactions between hydrocarbons and the IL.

Yuandong Xu, Haoyang Feng, Chaoyang Dong, Yuqing Yang, Meng Zhou, Yajun Wei, Hui Guo, Yaqing Wei, Jishan Su, Yingying Ben, Xia Zhang

Summary: Hollow MoS2 cubes and spheres were successfully synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal method with the hard template method. The hollow MoS2 cubes exhibited higher specific capacitance and energy density compared to the hollow MoS2 spheres. The symmetrical supercapacitors assembled with these hollow structures showed good performance and high capacity retention after multiple cycles. These findings suggest that controlling the pore structure and surface characteristics of MoS2 is crucial for enhancing its electrochemical properties.

Insights into the multi-functional lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate additive in boosting the Li-ion reaction kinetics for Li3VO4 anodes

Miaomiao Zhang, Cunyuan Pei, Qiqi Xiang, Lintao Liu, Zhongxu Dai, Huijuan Ma, Shibing Ni

Summary: The design of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in improving the electrochemical performance of anode materials. In this study, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) is used as an electrolyte additive to form a protective SEI film on Li3VO4 (LVO) anodes. The addition of LiDFOB results in a dense, uniform, stable, and LiF-richer SEI, which enhances the Li-ion storage kinetics. The generated SEI also prevents further decomposition of the electrolyte and maintains the morphology of LVO anodes during charge/discharge processes. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of LiDFOB as a multi-functional additive for LiPF6 electrolytes and provides insights into SEI construction for high-performance LVO anodes.

ClO-driven degradation of graphene oxide: new insights from DFT calculations

S. L. Romo-Avila, D. Marquez-Ruiz, R. A. Guirado-Lopez

Summary: In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the interaction between model graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures and chlorine monoxide ClO. We aimed to understand the role of this highly oxidizing species in breaking C-C bonds and forming significant holes on GO sheets. Our results showed that C-C bonds in a single graphene oxide sheet can be broken through a simple mechanism involving the dissociation of two chemically attached ClO molecules. The formation of carbonyl groups and holes on the GO surface was also observed. This study provides important insights into the degradation of carbon nanotubes and the stability of GO during the myeloperoxidase (MPO) catalytic cycle.

Composition dependence of X-ray stability and degradation mechanisms at lead halide perovskite single crystal surfaces

Alberto Garcia-Fernandez, Birgit Kammlander, Stefania Riva, Hakan Rensmo, Ute B. Cappel

Summary: In this study, the X-ray stability of five different lead halide perovskite compositions (MAPbI3, MAPbCl3, MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3, CsPbBr3) was investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. Different degradation mechanisms and resistance to X-ray were observed depending on the crystal composition. Overall, perovskite compositions based on the MA+ cation were found to be less stable than those based on FA+ or Cs+. Metallic lead formation was most easily observed in the chloride perovskite, followed by bromide, and very little in MAPbI3. Multiple degradation processes were identified for the bromide compositions, including ion migration, formation of volatile and solid products, as well as metallic lead. CsBr was formed as a solid degradation product on the surface of CsPbBr3.

The effect of temperature and oxygen partial pressure on the concentration of iron and manganese ions in La1/3Sr2/3Fe1-xMnxO3-δ

Sergey S. Nikitin, Alexander D. Koryakov, Elizaveta A. Antipinskaya, Alexey A. Markov, Mikhail V. Patrakeev

Summary: The stability of La1/3Sr2/3Fe1-xMnxO3-delta, a perovskite-type oxide, under reducing conditions is dependent on the manganese content. Increasing the manganese content leads to a decrease in stability. The behavior of iron and manganese in the oxide shows distinct differences, which can be attributed to the difference in the enthalpy of oxidation reactions. Additionally, the change in the La/Sr ratio affects the concentration of iron and manganese ions.
