RESUMO
Graphite-based dual-ion batteries are with potential higher energy density, making them a unique candidate in energy storage systems. However, anion insertion into graphite in aqueous environment remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report that the reversible insertion of Al-Cl superhalide into expanded graphite (EG) delivers an ultrahigh specific capacity of ~171â mAh g-1 from an aqueous deep eutectic solvent (DES) gel electrolyte of 50â m ChCl+5â m AlCl3 . High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Raman spectra and X-ray diffraction (XRD) show that the EG generates turbostratic structure during Al-Cl superhalide (de)insertion instead of presenting typical graphite intercalation compounds (GIC), thus attributing to the high capacity during Al-Cl superhalide insertion.
RESUMO
We propose an aqueous copper battery via Cu2+/Cu+ and Cu3+/Cu2+ redox conversion chemistry on an activated carbon (AC) electrode enabled by a 30 m ChCl + 1 m CuCl2 electrolyte, where Cu3+/Cu2+ redox promotes the discharge capacity by â¼50 mA h g-1 at â¼1.0 V vs. Ag/AgCl with stable cycling.
RESUMO
A cobalt-catalyzed multipositional isomerization of conjugated dienes has been reported for the first time using an 8-oxazoline iminoquinoline ligand. This reaction is operationally simple and atom-economical using readily available starting materials with an E/Z mixture to access disubstituted 1,3-dienes with excellent yields and good E,E stereoselectivity. The mechanism via alkene insertion of cobalt hydride species and ß-H elimination of a π-allyl cobalt intermediate is proposed on the basis of deuterium labeling and control experiments and density functional theory calculations.
RESUMO
An efficient cobalt-catalyzed migrational isomerization of styrenes was developed using the thiazoline iminopyridine (TIP) ligand. This reaction is operationally simple and atom-economical using readily available starting materials to access trisubstituted alkenes. Even when using a 0.1 mol % catalyst loading, the reaction could be conducted in neat and completed in 1 h with excellent conversion and high E stereoselectivity.
