Summary: Solar-driven bioelectrosynthesis is a promising method for converting abundant resources into value-added chemicals using renewable energy. A biohybrid coculture involving acetogen Sporomusa ovata and diazotrophic Rhodopseudomonas palustris has been designed for tandem and tunable CO2 and N-2 fixation. This coculture platform provides a robust ecosystem for continuous CO2 and N-2 fixation, and its outputs can be directed by substrate gas composition. The ability to electrochemically manipulate bacterial communities allows for the expansion of CO2 and N-2 bioelectrosynthesis products.

Summary: Enantioselective oxidation reactions typically rely on costly transition metals and stoichiometric amounts of chemical oxidants. This study demonstrates a sustainable alternative by using electrocatalysis, specifically the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), in place of a chemical oxidant. The use of cobalt catalyst for asymmetric oxidation enables highly enantioselective aryl carbon-hydrogen bond (C-H) activation reactions, leading to the synthesis of chiral compounds. Additionally, cobalt-mediated electrocatalysis allows for selective desymmetrization through dehydrogenative C-H activation reactions, facilitating the preparation of sterically complex phosphorus (P)-stereogenic compounds.

Summary: To demonstrate the technical application potential of electrochemical reactions, we developed a synthetic method to access the commercially available herbicide safener mefenpyr-diethyl. The target compound was synthesized via the (E)- or (Z)-hydrazone in a simple undivided electrolysis cell with non-hazardous aqueous sodium iodide as supporting electrolyte and mediator. Environmentally benign solvents or solvent-free conditions ensure a sustainable process and excellent recycling of the excess reagents. Finally, scale-up to the hectogram scale was performed with good to excellent yield.

Summary: LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2 (NCM) is a critical cathode material for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. The aging of cathode/electrolyte interfaces leads to capacity degradation and long-term cycle instability. A novel neural network model called ACGNet is developed to predict electrochemical stability windows of crystals, allowing for high-throughput screening of coating materials. LiPO3 is identified as a promising coating material with high oxidation voltage and low cost, which significantly improves the cycle stability of NCM batteries. This study demonstrates the accuracy and potential of machine learning in battery materials.

Summary: In this study, a bifunctional electrode host design consisting of carbon nanofibers implanted ordered porous Co-decorated Al2O3 supported on carbon nanotube film (CNTF) was proposed to address the shuttling effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and dendrite formation of metal lithium anode in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. The electrode exhibited excellent conductivity, efficient confinement of LiPSs, and catalytic conversion performance, resulting in high initial capacity and good capacity retention during cycling. As an anode, the electrode showed excellent Li+ diffusion performance and uniform lithium growth behavior, achieving a dendrite-free lithium electrode. The flexible pack cell assembled from these electrodes delivered a specific capacity of 972 mAh g(-1) with good capacity retention.

Summary: The use of Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs) is becoming increasingly extensive, and it is important to optimize the devices to achieve their maximum practical specific capacity. In this study, mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) binders based on PEDOT:PSS and PEDOT: PDADMA-TFSI were developed for Li-ion cathodes, and their performance was compared with conventional formulations. The influence of electrode formulations, including the addition of conducting carbon and an Organic Ionic Plastic Cristal (OIPC), was also analyzed. The proposed binders showed improved performance compared to conventional formulations with different electrolyte types and active materials.
