Article Synopsis
- Metal-sulfide electrodes have theoretical energy density advantages but face practical limitations, prompting the exploration of a sulfur-rich MoS chalcogel for lithium-sulfide batteries (LiSBs).
- The structure of the MoS chalcogel was analyzed using advanced techniques like Raman spectroscopy and X-ray absorption, revealing a unique 3D network bonded by S-S connections.
- Li/MoS half-cells exhibited impressive initial capacity and maintained stable performance over 140 cycles, suggesting the MoS chalcogel's promise as an effective electrode material for energy storage systems.
Cyclic amines such as pyrrolidine and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline undergo redox-annulations with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones. Carboxylic acid promoted generation of a conjugated azomethine ylide is followed by 6π-electrocylization, and, in some cases, tautomerization. The resulting ring-fused pyrrolines are readily oxidized to the corresponding pyrroles or reduced to pyrrolidines.
