Three new pyrrolidinium based surfactants were synthesized and characterized as pure aggregate components and in mixtures with 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine to understand how the molecular structure of the cationic amphiphile and its mole percentage might affect the physicochemical properties of the resulting aggregates. The thermotropic behavior of the mixed liposomes was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry on multilamellar vesicles, whereas their size and surface potential were investigated on large unilamellar vesicles by dynamic laser light scattering and fluorescence experiments, respectively. The presence of either methoxy or hydroxy groups in the positions 3 and 4 of the pyrrolidinium ring as well as the presence of a second alkyl chain on pyrrolidinium nitrogen, controls the aggregates features.

Concentrated electrolytes based on lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) have been proposed as an effective Li-compatible electrolyte for anode-free lithium metal batteries (AFLMBs). However, these electrolytes suffer from severe aluminum corrosion at an elevated potential. To address this issue, we propose a binary ionic liquid (IL) electrolyte additive comprising the 1-methyl-1-butyl pyrrolidinium cation (Pyr), difluoro(oxalate)borate anion (DFOB), and difluorophosphate (POF) anion to mitigate the Li inventory loss and Al corrosion in 4 M LiFSI/DME electrolyte simultaneously.

Improving the crystallinity of formamidinium triiodide (FAPbI) perovskite layer is one of the most effective approaches to increase the photovoltaic performance and stability of FAPbI-based solar cells (FSCs). In the current study, FAPbI layers were fabricated through a sequential deposition method. The morphology and crystalline properties of the FAPbI layers were modified by controlling the lead iodide (PbI) precursor by adding pyrrolidinium (Pyr) material into the PbI layer and modulating the FAPbI crystallization.

Highly Li-concentrated electrolytes are acknowledged for their compatibility with Li metal negative electrodes and high voltage positive electrodes to achieve high-energy Li metal batteries, showcasing stable and facile interfaces for Li deposition/dissolution and high anodic stability. This study aims to explore a highly concentrated electrolyte by adopting entropy-driven chemistry for Li metal-free (so-called anode-free) batteries. The combination of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide (LiFSA) and lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiOTf) salts in a pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquid is found to significantly modify the coordination structure, resulting in an unprecedented 60 mol% Li concentration and a low solvent-to-salt ratio of 0.

Article Synopsis
- - The study addresses performance issues in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) caused by defects in the surface and grain boundaries of 3D formamidinium lead triiodide (FAPbI) by introducing a new capping layer of pyrrolidinium lead triiodide (PyPbI).
- - This new capping layer reduces defects and enhances phase stability, leading to better energy alignment which improves charge transport in the solar cells.
- - The resulting 1D/3D PSCs achieve impressive efficiency rates of about 23.1% and 20.6% for different sizes, showing great potential for high-performance and low-cost solar energy applications.
