Polyethylene oxide (PEO) based electrolytes critically govern the security and energy density of solid-state batteries, but typically suffer from poor oxidation resistance at high voltages, which limits the energy density of batteries. Here, we report a Lewis-acid coordinated strategy to significantly improve the cyclic stability of 4.8 V-class PEO-based battery. The introduced Mg and Al with strong electron-withdrawing capability weaken the electron density of ether oxygen (EO) chains via chelation in the coordination structure, resulting in a locally limited interaction between the EO chains and the surface of cathodes at high state of charge. The batteries using Lewis-acid coordinated electrolytes and Ni-rich cathodes achieve high voltage stability of 4.8 V over 300 cycles. Further, the realization of industrial-scale electrolyte membranes, and Ah-level pouch cells over 586 Wh kg with good cyclic stability, suggests the potential of our strategy in practical applications of all-solid-state batteries.

This work addresses fundamental questions that deepen our understanding of secondary coordination sphere effects on carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction using derivatized hydride analogues of the type, [Cp*Fe(diphosphine)H] (Cp* = C5Me5-) - a well-studied family of organometallic complex - as models. More precisely, we describe the general reactivity of [(Cp*-BR2)Fe(diphosphine)H], which contains an intramolecularly positioned Lewis acid, and its cooperative reactivity with CO2. Control experiments underscore the critical nature of borane incorporation for CO2 to reduced products, a reaction that does not occur for unfunctionalized [Cp*Fe(diphosphine)H]).

Herein, we report a Lewis acid-mediated ring expansion of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) to substituted azetidines via nucleophilic nitrogen group transfer from readily accessible iminoiodinane. This protocol operates under mild, transition-metal-free conditions, and showcases excellent chemoselectivity, along with broad functional group tolerance. We report for the first time that challenging alkyl donor-acceptor cyclopropanes can undergo ring expansion leading to aliphatic azetidines without relying on external oxidants or precious transition-metal catalysts.

High-entropy metal-organic frameworks (HE-MOFs) hold promise as versatile materials, yet current rare examples are confined to low-valence elements in the fourth period, constraining their design and optimization for diverse applications. Here, a novel high-entropy, defect-rich and small-sized (32 nm) UiO-66 (ZrHfCeSnTi HE-UiO-66) has been synthesized for the first time, leveraging increased configurational entropy to achieve high tolerance to doping with diverse metal ions. The lattice distortion of HE-UiO-66 induces high exposure of metal nodes to create coordination unsaturated metal sites with a concentration of 322.
