The F(3)YLi…NCH…HMH and F(3)YLi…HMH…HCN triads (Y=C, Si; M=Be, and Mg) are connected by lithium and dihydrogen bonds. To understand the properties of the systems better, the corresponding dyads are also studied. Molecular geometries, binding energies, infrared spectra and NMR properties of monomers, dyads, and triads are investigated at the MP2/6-311++G** computational level. Particular attention is paid to parameters, such as cooperative energies, and many-body interaction energies. Triads with the HMH molecule located at the end of the chain, show energetic cooperativity ranging between -3.66 to -7.59 kJ mol(-1). When the HMH molecule is located in the middle, the obtained cluster is diminutive with an energetic effect between 3.49 to 5.17 kJ mol(-1). The electronic properties of the complexes are analyzed using parameters derived from the atoms in molecules (AIM) methodology.

Developing highly active and durable non-noble metal catalysts is crucial for energy conversion and storage, especially for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and lithium-oxygen (Li-O) batteries. Non-noble metal catalysts are considered the greatest potential candidates to replace noble metal catalysts in PEMFCs and Li-O batteries. Herein, we propose a novel type of non-noble metal catalyst (Fe-Hf/N/C) doped with Hf into a mesoporous carbon material derived from Hf-ZIF-8 and co-doping with Fe and N, which greatly enhanced the activity and durability of the catalyst.

Micro-sized silicon (µSi) anodes are an attractive alternative to graphite for high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their low cost and high specific capacity. However, they suffer from severe volume expansion during lithiation, leading to fast capacity decay and poor rate capability. Herein, a new hybrid binder featuring a cross-linked conductive network and multiple hydrogen bonds for µSi anodes with high areal capacity is reported.

The electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NORR) involves multiple hydrogenation and deoxygenation steps, which compete with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Therefore, NORR driven in acidic media is challenging in spite of advantageous fast hydrogen transfers in its elementary steps. The findings presented in this article first demonstrate that the NORR is significantly activated even in acidic lithium nitrate solutions at LiNO concentrations exceeding 6 m on a Pt electrode (the highly effective catalyst for HER) by the formation of a "hydronium-in-salt" electrolyte (HISE), a new type of aqueous high concentration salt electrolyte.

The recycling of critical metals from spent lithium-ion batteries represents a significant step towards meeting the enhancing resource requirements in the new energy industry. Nevertheless, achieving effective leaching of metals from the stable metal-oxygen (MO6) structure of spent ternary cathodes and separation of metal products simultaneously still remained a huge challenge towards industrial applications. Herein, a competitive coordination strategy was proposed to design a novel deep eutectic solvent (DESs), which improved both leaching and selective metal recycling capacity even at high solid-liquid ratio (1:10).

High-energy lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have received ever-increasing interest. Among them, coupling lithium metal (Li) with nickel-rich material, LiNiMnCoO (NMCs, ≥ 0.6, + + = 1), is promising because Li anodes enable an extremely high capacity (∼3860 mA h g) and the lowest redox potential (-3.
