A novel solid electrolyte sensor with considerably improved response times is presented. The new so-called eFIPEX [etched flux (Φ) probe experiment] is based on the FIPEX [flux (Φ) probe experiment] sensor applied for the measurement of molecular and atomic oxygen concentrations. A main application is the measurement of atmospheric atomic oxygen aboard sounding rockets up to altitudes of 250 km. eFIPEX employs a new manufacturing technique for its electrodes combining two manufacturing steps-the deposition of platinum films with a polyol process and electrochemical etching to carve out the electrode geometry. Selectivity toward atomic oxygen is achieved through gold plating. All work steps can be completed in ambient air. Electrodes with thicknesses of 200 nm to 1.5 μm are manufactured and characterized with optical and electron microscopy as well as with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. It is shown that the significantly faster response times are related to pores in the platinum film reaching down to the substrate. The new eFIPEX were flown in comparison with conventional FIPEX sensors on the PMWE-2 sounding rocket flight showing significantly improved performance. Due to the easier fabrication and the superior transient behavior, this new sensor system will be preferentially used in future missions.

Renewable electricity-driven electrochemical reduction of CO2 offers a promising route for production of high-value ethanol. However, the current state of this technology is hindered by low selectivity and productivity, primarily due to limited understanding of the atomic-level active sites involved in ethanol formation. Herein, we identify that the interfacial oxygen vacancy-neighboring Cu (Ov-Cu) pair sites are the active sites for CO2 electroreduction to ethanol.

Transition metal-nitrogen-carbon (MNC) based on 3d metal atoms as promising non-precious metal catalysts have been extensively exploited for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), but MNC with 4f rare earth metals have been largely ignored, most likely due to their large atomic radii that are difficult to coordinate with N dopants using conventional precursors. Herein, atomically dispersed dysprosium-nitrogen-carbon (DyNC) nanosheets were developed via the pyrolysis of anitrogen-containing chelate compound of 2, 4, 6-Tri (2-pyridyl) 1, 3, 5-triazine (TPTZ) ligand with Dy under the assistance of molten NaCl. The as-synthesized DyNC features specific moieties of single Dy atom coordinated by N and O as active sites for ORR, displaying excellent performance.

Article Synopsis
- Solid-state polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are gaining attention for sodium metal batteries (SMBs) due to their flexibility and lower interfacial resistance, but they struggle with sodium ion conductivity and unstable interfaces.
- A novel composite electrolyte called PPNM is created by integrating a 3D copper metal organic framework (Cu-MOF) with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers and polyethylene oxide (PEO), enhancing ionic conductivity and sodium ion movement.
- The improved stability and performance of the PPNM electrolyte lead to strong cycling results for Na3V2(PO4)3@C/PPNM/Na full cells, making it a promising strategy for advancing solid-state SMB technology.
The inductive effect does not explain electron density in haloacetates: are our textbooks wrong?

The inductive effect is a central concept in chemistry and is often exemplified by the p values of acetic acid derivatives. The reduction in p is canonically attributed to the reduction in the electron density of the carboxylate group through the inductive effect. However, wave functional theory calculations presented herein reveal that the charge density of the carboxylate group is not explained by the inductive effect.
