Activating the Intrinsic Zincophilicity of PAM Hydrogel to Stabilize the Metal-Electrolyte Dynamic Interface for Stable and Long-Life Zinc Metal Batteries
ChemSusChem. 2024 Apr 7:e202400479. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202400479. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAs a potential material to solve rampant dendrites and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) problem of aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMB), hydrogel electrolytes usually require additional additives or multi-molecular network strategies to solve existing problems of ionic conductivity, mechanical properties and interface stability. However, the intrinsic zincophilic properties of the gel itself are widely neglected leading to the addition of additional molecules and the complexity of the preparation process. In this work, we innovat...

A stable lithium metal anode enabled by the site-directed lithium deposition of ZnO-nanosheets modified carbon cloth
ChemSusChem. 2024 Apr 6:e202400159. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202400159. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUneven lithium (Li) metal deposition typically results in uncontrollable dendrite growth, which renders an unsatisfactory cycling stability and coulombic efficiency (CE) of Li metal batteries (LMBs), preventing their practical application. Herein, a novel carbon cloth with the modification of ZnO nanosheets (ZnO@CC) is fabricated for LMBs. The as-prepared ZnO@CC with a cross-linked network significantly reduces the local current density, and the design of ZnO nanosheets can promote the uniform deposition of Li metal as lithiophil...

On the Chemical Pathways Influencing the Effective Global Warming Potential of Commercial Hydrofluoroolefin Gases
ChemSusChem. 2024 Apr 4:e202400280. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202400280. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe enforcement of a global hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant phase down led to the introduction of hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) as a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) substitute, given their low atmospheric lifetime. However, to this date it is not fully clear the long-term atmospheric fate of HFOs primary degradation products: trifluoro acetaldehyde (TFE), trifluoro acetyl fluoride (TFF), and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). It particularly concerns the possibility of forming HFC-23, a potent global warming agent. Although the atmos...

Carbon Supported Ru-Ni and Ru-W Catalysts for the Transformation of Hydroxyacetone and Saccharides into Glycol-Derived Primary Amines
We report an efficient catalyst Ru-Ni/AC for the reductive amination of hydroxyacetone into 2-aminopropanol. The catalyst has been reused during 3 cycles demonstrating a good stability. As a prospective study, extension to the reactivity of (poly)carbohydrates has been realized. Despite a lesser efficiency, 2-aminopropanol (9% yield of amines) has been formed from fructose, the first example from a carbohydrate. This was possible using a 7.5%Ru-36%WxC/AC catalyst, composition allowing a one-pot retro-aldol cleavage into hydroxyacetone and reductive amination. The transformation of cellulose through sequential reactions wit...

Interface Modifications of Lithium Metal Anodes for Lithium Metal Batteries
ChemSusChem. 2024 Apr 4:e202400281. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202400281. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLithium metal batteries (LMBs) enable much higher energy density than lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and thus hold great promise for future transportation electrification. However, the adoption of lithium metal (Li) as an anode poses serious concerns about cell safety and performance, which have been hindering LMBs from commercialization. To this end, numerous efforts have been invested to understand the underlying mechanisms theoretically and experimentally and to develop technical solutions. In this review, we devote to providing...

Arginine Acts as both Co-Solvent and Catalyst in Regioselective Eutectic-Mediated Dimerization of Levulinic Acid
In this study, an organocatalytic and regioselective dimerization was achieved at 22% conversion on either a bench or kilogram scale using mild temperatures and only L-arginine as both a co-solvent and catalyst. The intricate H-bonding network comprising the eutectic solvent was harnessed to produce only one product, minimizing side reactivity and preserving the reactants for recycling.PMID:38575387 | DOI:10.1002/cssc.202400503 (Source: ChemSusChem)
