Article Synopsis
- A series of metal chelates involving manganese(II), iron(III), cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) were synthesized and analyzed using various techniques, such as infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis.
- The ligand 1-[(4-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (HL) forms complexes with the metal ions through specific nitrogen and oxygen interactions, with thermal analysis revealing the ligand's structure.
- The study assessed the antimicrobial properties of these complexes, finding that while the iron complex showed the best bioactivity against microbes, the copper complex had the least effectiveness, with molecular docking used to predict their interaction with a specific protein structure.
The use of redox-active organic materials in rechargeable batteries has the potential to transform the field by enabling lightweight, flexible, green batteries while replacing lithium with sodium would mitigate the limited supplies and high cost of lithium. Herein, we report the first use of highly porous azo-linked polymers (ALPs) as a new redox-active electrode material for rechargeable sodium-ion batteries. ALPs are highly cross-linked polymers and therefore eliminate the solubility issue of organic electrodes in common electrolytes, which is prominent in small organic molecules and leads to fast capacity fading.
