Solid-solid phase interconversion was observed in an organic conductor based on a hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) TTF (tetrathiafulvalene) molecular unit, in which the π-stacked molecular arrangement and physical properties were dynamically changed with unexpected transformation of the H-bond unit between the planar and bent forms.

Article Synopsis
- Silver (Ag) is a key catalyst in lithium-oxygen batteries, but its catalytic mechanism is not fully understood.
- Researchers used Ag nanowires and advanced electron microscopy to study the reactions between Ag and lithium at their interface, revealing that lithiation creates AgLi and oxidation produces Ag nanoparticles.
- The findings highlight a cyclic reaction process (Ag-AgLi-Ag) that explains lithium transport during discharge and contribute to improved understanding of complex interfacial reactions in these batteries.

Barocaloric (BC) materials offer the potential for highly energy-efficient refrigeration by generating heat absorption through the effect of pressure on a solid-solid phase transition. However, very few of the known materials have the required phase transition in the temperature regions necessary for domestic refrigeration or air conditioning. We introduce organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) as a new family of BC materials.

Discontinuous solid-solid phase transformations play a pivotal role in determining the properties of rechargeable battery electrodes. By leveraging operando Bragg Coherent Diffractive Imaging (BCDI), we investigate the discontinuous phase transformation in LiNiMnO within an operational Li metal coin cell. Throughout Li-intercalation, we directly observe the nucleation and growth of the Li-rich phase within the initially charged Li-poor phase in a 500 nm particle.

The application of organic solid-liquid phase change materials (PCMs) is limited for the leakage problem after phase change and high rigidity. In this work, a novel flexible solid-solid PCM (DXPCM) was synthesized using a block copolymerization process with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the energy storage segment. The phase transition temperature (from 36.
