The interaction between 1-propynyllithium, taken as a model of sp organolithium compound, and formaldehyde has been investigated with DFT theoretical methods. The unsolvated monomer, homogeneous dimer, trimer, tetramer, and hexamer have been considered, as well as the mixed aggregates with lithium dimethylamide in various oligomeric forms. In most cases, the separate entities, their docking complexes, the transition states, and the condensation products have been characterized. Overall, the general reaction scheme remains the same whatever the hybridization and the aggregation. However, the dimeric sp nucleophiles are expected to be more reactive (at least in kinetic conditions), while monomeric sp(3) entities would be the best nucleophiles in kinetic and thermodynamic conditions, even if its docking is the least exothermic. This work also suggests that the aggregation plays a relatively limited role on the model reaction.

In situ polymerization strategies hold great promise for enhancing the physical interfacial stability in solid-state batteries, yet (electro)chemical degradation of polymerized interfaces, especially at high voltages, remains a critical challenge. Herein, we find interphase engineering is crucial for the polymerization process and polymer stability and pioneer an in situ polymerization-fluorination (Poly-FR) strategy to create durable interfaces with excellent physical and (electro)chemical stabilities, achieved by designing a bifunctional initiator for both polymerization and on-surface lithium donor reactions. The integrated in situ fluorination converts LiCO impurities on LiNiCoMnO (NCM811) surfaces into LiF-rich interphases, effectively inhibiting the aggressive (de)lithiation intermediates and protecting the interface from underlying chemical degradation, thereby surpassing the stability limitations of polymerization alone.

We extend our previous work on the energetics and mechanisms of fragmentation in the mass spectrometry of triacylglycerols (TAGs). Previously, we proposed viable mechanisms for the collision-induced fragmentation of lithiated tripropionylglycerol using triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry. In this work, we used a QqLIT mass spectrometer to study both double- and triple-stage spectra from a range of TAGs having acid chains of types AAA (identical acid chains), AAB, ABA, and ABC, with chain lengths of 6-18 carbon atoms; we also studied some TAGs having a single double bond in the Δ-9 position.

Silicon-based anode materials experience significant volume changes and low conductivity during the lithiation process, which severely hinders their successful application in lithium-ion batteries. Reducing the size of silicon particles and effectively combining them with carbon-based materials are considered the main strategies to enhance the lithium-ion storage performance of silicon-based anodes. In this study, we employed a "bottom-up" strategy to synthesize Si@C anode materials by cross-linking octa-aminopropyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (NH-POSS) with terephthalaldehyde and subsequent high-temperature treatment and low-temperature liquid reduction.

Silicon/carbon (Si/C) materials have achieved commercial applications as a solution to the problems of large volume expansion and short lifespan of silicon-based anodes in lithium-ion batteries. However, the potential risk of structural fracture and localized differences in surface adsorption properties lead to difficulties in maintaining the structural integrity of Si/C anodes using conventional binders during repeated lithiation/delithiation. Herein, an aqueous binder (PVA-g-M) based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) grafted methacrylic acid (MAA) obtained by self-emulsifyingemulsion polymerization is reported.

Currently, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are at the forefront of energy storage technologies. Silicon-based anodes, with their high capacity and low cost, present a promising alternative to traditional graphite anodes in LIBs, offering the potential for substantial improvements in energy density. However, the significant volumetric changes that silicon-based anodes undergo during charge and discharge cycles can lead to structural degradation.
