AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers found that carbon dioxide can be inserted into a silicon-nitrogen bond of a specific chemical compound (N-heterocyclic iminosilane) in a way that can be reversed.
  • Tests in liquid conditions showed that this insertion process doesn't release or absorb heat, making it thermoneutral, and can go back to its original state.
  • In solid form, the carbon dioxide can be stored for a long time, but it only gets released when heated to 133°C.

Article Abstract

The reversible insertion of carbon dioxide into the silicon-nitrogen bond of an N-heterocyclic iminosilane is reported. Solution-phase thermodynamic investigations indicate that this process is thermoneutral and reversible, whereas in the solid-phase CO can be stored for extended periods and is only released upon heating to 133 °C.

The synthesis of polymers with well-defined composition, architecture, and functionality has long been a focal area of research in the field of polymer chemistry. The advancement of controlled radical polymerization (CRP) has facilitated the synthesis of precise polymers, which are endowed with new properties and functionalities, thereby exhibiting a wide range of applications. However, radical polymerization faces several challenges, such as oxygen intolerance, and common thermal initiation methods may lead to side reactions and depolymerization.

The occurrence of external L-glutamate at the Arabidopsis root tip triggers major changes in root architecture, but the mechanism of -L-Glu sensing is unknown. Members of the family of GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR-LIKE (GLR) proteins are known to act as amino acid-gated Ca-permeable channels and to have signalling roles in diverse plant processes. To investigate the possible role of GLRs in the root architectural response to L-Glu, we screened a collection of mutants with T-DNA insertions in each of the 20 AtGLR genes.

NaV(PO), based on multi-electron reactions between V/V/V, is a promising cathode material for SIBs. However, its practical application is hampered by the inferior conductivity, large barrier of V/V, and stepwise phase transition. Herein, these issues are addressed by constructing a medium-entropy material (NaVTiAlCrMnNi(PO), ME-NVP) with strong ME─O bond and highly occupied Na2 sites.

The Mn-based Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) have garnered significant attention due to their high specific capacity, stemming from the unique multi-electron reactions with Na. However, the structural instability caused by multi-ion insertion impacts the cycle life, thus limiting their further application in aqueous sodium-ion batteries (ASIBs). To address this issue, this work employed an in situ epitaxial solvent deposition method to homogeneously grow Ni hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) on the surface of MnPBA, which can effectively overcome the de-intercalation instability.

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) show great promise as cathode candidates for aqueous zinc-ion batteries thanks to their high operating voltage, open-framework structure, and low cost. However, suffering from numerous vacancies and crystal water, the electrochemical performance of PBAs remains unsatisfactory, with limited capacity and poor cycle life. Here, a simple coprecipitation method is shown to synthesize well-crystallized cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF) with a small amount of water and high specific surface area.
