Tetranitroethane (TNE), an energetic compound with high-nitrogen (N%, 26.7%) and oxygen (O%, 60.9%) content, is deprotonated by alkali and alkaline earth metal bases to form the corresponding metal salts of TNE which are characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. All the prepared energetic metal salts show excellent thermal stabilities, and the decomposition temperatures of EP-3, EP-4, and EP-5 are higher than 250 °C, due to the numerous coordination bonds of the complexes. Furthermore, the energy of formation of the nitrogen-rich salts were calculated utilizing heat of combustion. The detonation performances were calculated with the EXPLO5 software, and the impact and friction sensitivities were determined. EP-7 shows excellent energy performance ( = 30.0 GPa, = 8436 m s). EP-3, EP-4, EP-5, and EP-8 are more sensitive to mechanical stimulation. These alkali and alkaline earth metal salts of TNE show good monochromaticity by atomic emission spectroscopy (visible light), and may be used as potential flame colorants in pyrotechnics.

Dual-Anion-Rich Polymer Electrolytes for High-Voltage Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are promising candidates for lithium metal batteries (LMBs) owing to their safety features and compatibility with lithium metal anodes. However, the inferior ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability of SPEs hinder their application in high-voltage solid-state LMBs (HVSSLMBs). Here, a strategy is proposed to develop a dual-anion-rich solvation structure by implementing ferroelectric barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles (NPs) and dual lithium salts into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based SPEs for HVSSLMBs.

The stable operation of high-capacity lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) has been hampered by slow conversion kinetics of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and instability of the lithium metal anodes. Herein, 6-(dibutylamino)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-thiol (DTD) is introduced as a functional additive for accelerating the kinetics of cathodic conversion and modulating the anode interface. We proposed that a coordination interaction mechanism drives the polysulfide conversion and modulates the Li solvated structure during the binding of the N-active site of DTD to LiPSs and lithium salts.

Ion selective membranes with precise Mg/Li separation have attracted extensive interest in lithium extraction to circumvent the lithium supply shortage. However, realizing this target remains a significant challenge mainly due to a high concentration ratio of Mg/Li as well as the relatively close ionic hydration radius and chemical. Herein, inspired by the host-guest recognition between alkali-metal ions and crown ether (CE), a novel approach was proposed to regulate the membrane internal structure by introducing CE to strengthen the complexation between Li and CE.

Polymer electrolytes incorporated with fillers possess immense potential for constructing the fast and selective Li conduction. However, the inhomogeneous distribution of the fillers usually deteriorates the microdomain consistency of the electrolytes, resulting in uneven Li flux, and unstable electrode-electrolyte interfaces. Herein, we formulate a solution-process chemistry to in situ construct gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) with well-dispersed metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), leading to a uniform microdomain structure.
