Electron donor tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and electron acceptor naphthalene diimide (NDI) derivatives were used to synthesize a 3D Zn-TTF/NDI-MOF. Multiple redox active sites and charge transfer endow the pristine MOF anode with excellent rate behavior and long term cycling performance (with an average specific capacity of 956 mA h g at 1 A g over 600 cycles). This study highlights the great potential of elaborately-designed MOFs for developing efficient anode materials.

Aromatic diimides such as naphthalene diimide (NDI) and pyromellitic diimide (MDI) are important building blocks for organic electrode materials. They feature a two-electron redox mechanism that allows for energy storage. Due to the smaller size of MDI compared to NDI its theoretical capacity is higher.

Article Synopsis
  • Sodium-ion batteries are being developed as a potential replacement for lithium-ion batteries, but their large sodium ions require more space for effective storage.
  • Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using engineered organic ligands, specifically naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, show great promise as anodes, providing better sodium accommodation.
  • The MOFs demonstrate impressive sodium storage capabilities with a capacity of 330 mAh/g at 1000 mA/g, showcasing excellent rate performance and cycling stability, indicating their potential for broad energy storage applications.

The pursuit of innovative organic materials and the examination of the "structure-function" correlation in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are crucial and highly desirable. Current research focuses on the creation of novel conjugated organic polymers with polycarbonyl groups and examining the impact of electrode structure on the function of lithium-ion batteries. In this paper, two novel cyanovinylene-based conjugated organic polymers, NBA-TFB and NBA-TFPB, are synthesized using a Knoevenagel condensation reaction with naphthalene diimide as the integral unit.

Two-electron transfer to haloarenes constitutes one of the most reliable synthetic methodologies for the generation of aryllithiums. In addition to the conventional halides, readily available aryl ethers can function as potent substrates. However, it is known that the reductive cleavage of alkoxides is plagued by insufficient selectivity concerning the cleaving bond adjacent to the ether oxygen, resulting in decreased reliability of these alkoxyarene substrates.
