Two new, "user-friendly" derivatives of triptycene containing AsH(2) and SiH(3) fragments were synthesized. Both solids are crystalline, air-stable compounds characterized by elevated melting points and resistance toward moisture. The highly reactive As-H and Si-H bonds are protected by the presence of the surrounding phenylene hydrogen atoms, which ensure a remarkable kinetic stabilization of these primary hydrides. After X-ray irradiation of a single crystal of triptycenesilane, a persistent silyl radical was trapped and characterized.

ConspectusLithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on graphite anodes are a widely used state-of-the-art battery technology, but their energy density is approaching theoretical limits, prompting interest in lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) that can achieve higher energy density. In addition, the limited availability of lithium reserves raises supply concerns; therefore, research on postlithium metal batteries is underway. A major issue with these metal anodes, including lithium, is dendritic formation and insufficient reversibility, which leads to safety risks due to short circuits and the use of flammable electrolytes.

In-situ conversion of BiOBr to Br-doped BiOCl nanosheets for "rocking chair" zinc-ion battery.

J Colloid Interface Sci

January 2025

School of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics, School of Chemistry, Xiangtan University, Xiangtan 411105 PR China. Electronic address:

Developing insertion-type anodes is essential for designing high-performance "rocking chair" zinc-ion batteries. BiOCl shows great potential as an insertion-type anode material for Zn storage due to its high specific capacity and unique layered structure. However, the development of BiOCl has been significantly hampered by its poor stability and kinetics during cycling.

The development of electrode materials for aqueous ammonium-ion supercapacitors (NH-SCs) has garnered significant attention in recent years. Poor intrinsic conductivity, sluggish electron transfer and ion diffusion kinetics, as well as structural degradation of vanadium oxides during the electrochemical process, pose significant challenges for their efficient ammonium-ion storage. In this work, to address the above issues, the core-shell VO·nHO@poly(3,4-ethylenedioxithiophene) composite (denoted as VOH@PEDOT) is designed and prepared by a simple agitation method to boost the ammonium-ion storage of VO·nHO (VOH).

The kinetics of aqueous thiolated arsenic oxidation.

J Hazard Mater

January 2025

Department of Geological Sciences & Engineering, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Electronic address:

Thiolated arsenic (As) compounds have been identified in various natural and engineered environments worldwide and are important for the biogeochemical cycling of As, yet quantitative data regarding their stability and transformation rates remains scarce. This study investigates the oxidation kinetics of mono-, di-, and tri-thioarsenate at varying pH, Fe, and (thio-)As concentrations in the aqueous phase. Experiments conducted over four weeks revealed that all thioarsenates were oxidized faster at lower pH, with rates of up to several μmoles/L/d at a pH of 3.
