Synthesis and Characterization of Iron Bispyridine Bisdicyanamide, Fe[CHN][N(CN)].

Fe[CHN][N(CN)] () was synthesized from a reaction of stoichiometric amounts of NaN(CN) and FeCl·4HO in a methanol/pyridine solution. Single-crystal and powder diffraction show that crystallizes in the monoclinic space group 2/ (no. 12), different from Mn[CHN][N(CN)] (2/, no.

Evaluation of Scalable Synthesis Methods for Aluminum-Substituted LiLaZrO Solid Electrolytes.

Solid electrolyte is the key component in all-solid-state batteries (ASBs). It is required in electrodes to enhance Li-conductivity and can be directly used as a separator. With its high Li-conductivity and chemical stability towards metallic lithium, lithium-stuffed garnet material LiLaZrO (LLZO) is considered one of the most promising solid electrolyte materials for high-energy ceramic ASBs.

Flexible freestanding MoS-based composite paper for energy conversion and storage.

The construction of flexible electrochemical devices for energy storage and generation is of utmost importance in modern society. In this article, we report on the synthesis of flexible MoS-based composite paper by high-energy shear force milling and simple vacuum filtration. This composite material combines high flexibility, mechanical strength and good chemical stability.

Oriented Films of Conjugated 2D Covalent Organic Frameworks as Photocathodes for Water Splitting.

Light-driven water electrolysis at a semiconductor surface is a promising way to generate hydrogen from sustainable energy sources, but its efficiency is limited by the performance of available photoabsorbers. Here we report the first time investigation of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as a new class of photoelectrodes. The presented 2D-COF structure is assembled from aromatic amine-functionalized tetraphenylethylene and thiophene-based dialdehyde building blocks to form conjugated polyimine sheets, which π-stack in the third dimension to create photoactive porous frameworks.
