An efficient cathodic carbonyl alkylation of aryl ketones or aldehydes with unactivated alkyl halides has been realized through the electrochemical activation of iron. The protocol is believed to include a radical-radical coupling or nucleophilic addition process, and the formation of ketyl radicals and alkyl radicals has been demonstrated. The protocol provides various tertiary or secondary alcohols by the formation of intermolecular C-C bonds under safe and mild conditions, is scalable, consumes little energy, and exhibits a broad substrate scope.

The electrochemically induced reaction between alkenes, bearing an allylic hydrogen atom, and -hydroxyphthalimide was investigated. Cross-dehydrogenative C-O coupling with phthalimide--oxyl radical, derived from -hydroxyphthalimide, occurs instead of oxidation of the allylic site, with the formation of a carbonyl group or functionalization of the double C=C bond. The discovered transformation proceeds in an undivided electrochemical cell equipped with a carbon felt anode and a platinum cathode.

In the quest for next-generation energy storage solutions, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries present exceptional potential due to their high energy density and cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, significant challenges, such as the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and inadequate sulfur utilization, have impeded their practical application. In this study, we report the design and synthesis of a novel covalent organic polymer that integrates a triazine-linked framework with carbonyl-enriched polyimide moieties, serving as a highly effective sulfur host for Li-S batteries.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are limited by the high mobility of polysulfides in the electrolyte, which allows them to migrate from the cathode to the lithium anode. This is known as polysulfide shuttling and simultaneously diminishes the active material and poisons the anode. Various cathode additives have been shown empirically to mitigate this problem, although the mechanism is not often ascertained experimentally.
