Behavior of Lithium Amide Under Argon Plasma
ChemSusChem. 2024 Apr 24:e202400221. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202400221. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlkali and alkaline earth metal amides are a type of functional materials for hydrogen storage, thermal energy storage, ion conduction, and chemical transformations such as ammonia synthesis and decomposition. The thermal chemistry of lithium amide (LiNH2), as a simple but representative alkali or alkaline earth metal amide, has been well studied previously encouraged by its potentials in hydrogen storage. In comparison, little is known about the interaction of plasma and LiNH2. Herein, we report that the plasma treatment of LiN...

Circular And Sustainable: Evaluating Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling using a Combined Statistical Entropy and Life Cycle Assessment Methodology
ChemSusChem. 2024 Apr 23:e202400376. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202400376. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhile there has been a growing interest on the concept of Circular Economy (CE), its correlation with sustainability remains controversial. In this work, the combination of Statistical Entropy Analysis (SEA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is proposed as a new methodology to evaluate recycling processes from the perspective of materials circularity and environmental impacts using a Li-ion battery recycling process as a case study. This work addresses the need of quantitative circularity indicators, as SEA evaluates the concentra...

Crown Ether Electrolyte Induced Li2O2 Amorphization for Low Polarization and Long Lifespan Li-O2 batteries
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2024 Apr 24:e202403521. doi: 10.1002/anie.202403521. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLithium-oxygen batteries possess an extremely high theoretical energy density, rendering them a prime candidate for next-generation secondary batteries. However, they still face multiple problems such as huge charge polarization and poor cycle life, which lay a significant gap between laboratory research and commercial applications. In this work, we adapt 15-crown-5 ether (C15) as solvent to regulate the generation of discharge products in lithium-oxygen batteries. The coronal structure endows C15 with strong affinity...

A fresh perspective on dissociation mechanism of cellulose in DMAc/LiCl system based on Li bond theory
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Apr 21:131729. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131729. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this case, various characterization technologies have been employed to probe dissociation mechanism of cellulose in N,N-dimethylacetamide/lithium chloride (DMAc/LiCl) system. These results indicate that coordination of DMAc ligands to the Li+-Cl- ion pair results in the formation of a series of Lix(DMAc)yClz (x = 1, 2; y = 1, 2, 3, 4; z = 1, 2) complexes. Analysis of interaction between DMAc ligand and Li center indicate that Li bond plays a major role for the formation of these Lix(DMAc)yClz complexes. And the sa...

The Role of the Molecular Encapsulation Effect in Stabilizing Hydrogen-Bond-Rich Gel-State Lithium Metal Batteries
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2024 Apr 23:e202400032. doi: 10.1002/anie.202400032. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGel-state polymer electrolytes with superior mechanical properties, self-healing abilities and high Li+ transference numbers can be obtained by in situ polymerization of monomers with hydrogen-bonding moieties. However, it is overlooked that the active hydrogen atoms in hydrogen-bond donors experience displacement reactions with lithium metal in lithium metal batteries (LMBs), leading to corrosion of the lithium metal. Herein, it is discovered that the addition of hydrogen-bond acceptors to hydrogen-bond-rich gel-stat...

Extraction spectrophotometry using a lithium-ion selective metallacrown: temperature effect on extraction reaction and application to determination of lithium in serum and seawater
Anal Sci. 2024 Apr 23. doi: 10.1007/s44211-024-00569-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA metallacrown-type ionophore, 2,3-pyridinediolate-bridged (3,5-dimethylanisole)ruthenium trinuclear complex, has a high extraction selectivity for Li+, but the extraction reaction is very slow. To solve this problem, the effect of temperature on the rapidity and equilibrium of the extraction of Li+ and Na+ as picrates from water to toluene with the metallacrown was investigated in this study. While the extraction of Li+ requires 6 h of shaking for equilibration at 25 °C, the distribution ratio becomes nearly constant after 4 h and 2 h o...
