Sulfur-Rich Norbornadiene-Derived Infrared Transparent Polymers by Inverse Vulcanization.

Infrared (IR) transparent polymer materials prepared by inverse vulcanization, as a promising candidate to replace inorganic materials, are new materials for constructing key devices in IR optics. However, it is difficult to achieve a balance between infrared optical and thermal properties in polymers due to the intrinsic infrared absorption of organic materials. Herein, our strategy is to construct a high boiling point symmetrical molecular norbornadiene derivative cross-linking agent (DMMD) which can be inverse vulcanized with molten sulfur, and obtain Poly (S-r-DMMD) with different sulfur content by controlling the feed ratio of sulfur.

Optimization Design of Fluoro-Cyanogen Copolymer Electrolyte to Achieve 4.7 V High-Voltage Solid Lithium Metal Battery.

Raising the charging voltage and employing high-capacity cathodes like lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) are efficient strategies to expand battery capacity. High voltage, however, will reveal major issues such as the electrolyte's low interface stability and weak electrochemical stability. Designing high-performance solid electrolytes from the standpoint of substance genetic engineering design is consequently vital.
