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...

A Pyrophosphate Bifunctional Cathode with Inductive Effect for High-Voltage and Self-Charging Zinc Ion Battery
ChemSusChem. 2024 Apr 2:e202301818. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202301818. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWith the growing demand for new energy storage devices, rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted widespread attention due to their low cost and high safety. Among the cathode materials for ZIBs, polyanionic-based cathode materials with high voltage, high stability, and low cost have great potential. In this paper, tetragonal Na2VOP2O7 was prepared using a simple sol-gel method. The discharge platform voltage amounted to 1.8 V and had good rate and cycle performance due to the inductive effect of pyrophosphate...

Understanding the Solid-Electrolyte-Interface (SEI) formation in Glyme Electrolyte using Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS)
ChemSusChem. 2024 Apr 3:e202301866. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202301866. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLithium-ion batteries are commonly used for energy storage due to their long lifespan and high energy density, but the use of unsafe electrolytes poses significant health and safety concerns. An alternative source is necessary to maintain electrochemical efficacy. This research demonstrates new safe glyme-based electrolytes for silica/carbon (SiOx/C) nanocomposite derived from Australian rice husk (RH). The quality of SiOx/C was preserved by using deep eutectic solvent-based pre-treatment and single-step carbonization, which was ...

Multistep Biooxidation of 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural to 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid with H2O2 by Unspecific Peroxygenases
ChemSusChem. 2024 Apr 3:e202400156. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202400156. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACT5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) is a key platform chemical derived from renewable biomass sources, holding great potential as starting material for the synthesis of valuable compounds, thereby replacing petrochemical-derived counterparts. Among these valorised compounds, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has emerged as a versatile building block. Here we demonstrate the biocatalytic synthesis of FDCA from HMF via a one-pot three-step oxidative cascade performed via two operative steps under mild reaction conditions employing two ...

Ether-Water Co-Solvent Electrolytes Enhanced Vanadium Oxide Cathode Cyclic Behaviors for Zinc Batteries
ChemSusChem. 2024 Apr 2:e202301833. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202301833. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVanadium-based compounds are fantastic cathodes for aqueous zinc metal batteries due to the high specific capacity and excellent rate capability. Nevertheless, the practical application has been hampered by the dissolution of vanadium in traditional aqueous electrolytes owing to the strong polarity of water molecules. Herein, we propose a hybrid electrolyte made of Zn(ClO4)2 salt in tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (G4) and H2O solvents to upgrade the cycle life of Zn//K0.486V2O5 battery. The G4 jointly solvates with Zn2+ ions...

ChemSusChem. 2024 Mar 29:e202301627. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202301627. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIsohexide-derived diamines are considered preferred precursors for the production of biobased polyurethanes and polyamides. However, current synthesis methods from isohexides suffer from serious issues concerning selectivity and the recyclability of the process auxiliaries (e.g. homogeneous catalysts), which renders a translation to the industry highly unlikely. Here, we report on the production of such diamine building blocks, via a tandem electrooxidation - reductive amination process in which the process auxiliaries can be ea...
