Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202215017. [PMID: 36424359 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202215017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
The McMurry coupling is a facile, gentle and low-cost chemical reaction for synthesizing. Here, for the first time, we employed the McMurry coupling reaction to prepare π-conjugated anion exchange membranes (AEMs). The inter-chain π-π stacking between adjacent benzene rings induces directional self-assembly aggregation and enables highly ordered ion-conductive channels. The resulting structure was characterized through UV/VIS spectrum, X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, leading to high OH- conductivity of 135.5 mS cm-1 at 80 °C. Furthermore, the double bonds in the π-conjugated system also trigger in situ self-crosslinking of the AEMs to enhance dimensional and alkaline stability. Benefiting from this advantage, the as-obtained Cr-QPPV-2.51 AEM exhibits superior alkaline stability (95 % conductivity retention after 3000 hrs in 1 M KOH at 80 °C) and high mechanical strength of 34.8 MPa. Moreover, the fuel cell using Cr-QPPV-2.51 shows a maximum peak power density of 1.27 W cm-2 at 80 °C.

Abstract
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) represent a promising approach to enabling the widespread integration of intermittent renewable energy. Rapid developments in RFB materials and electrolyte chemistries are needed to meet the cost and performance targets. In this review, special emphasis is given to the recent advances how electrolyte design could circumvent the main thermodynamic restrictions of aqueous electrolytes. The recent success of aqueous electrolyte chemistries has been demonstrated by extending the electrochemical stability window of water beyond the thermodynamic limit, the operating temperature window beyond the thermodynamic freezing temperature of water and crystallization of redox-active materials, and the aqueous solubility beyond the thermodynamic solubility limit. They would open new avenues towards enhanced energy storage and all-climate adaptability. Depending on the constituent, concentration and condition of electrolytes, the performance gain has been correlated to the specific solvation environment, interactions among species and ion association at a molecular level.

Abstract
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) based on aqueous organic electrolytes are a promising technology for safe and cost‐effective large‐scale electrical energy storage. Membrane separators are a key component in RFBs, allowing fast conduction of charge‐carrier ions but minimizing the cross‐over of redox‐active species. Here, we report the molecular engineering of amidoxime‐functionalized Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity (AO‐PIMs) by tuning their polymer chain topology and pore architecture to optimize membrane ion transport functions. AO‐PIM membranes are integrated with three emerging aqueous organic flow battery chemistries, and the synergetic integration of ion‐selective membranes with molecular engineered organic molecules in neutral‐pH electrolytes leads to significantly enhanced cycling stability.

Abstract
Redox flow batteries are a critical technology for large-scale energy storage, offering the promising characteristics of high scalability, design flexibility and decoupled energy and power. In recent years, they have attracted extensive research interest, with significant advances in relevant materials chemistry, performance metrics and characterization. The emerging concepts of hybrid battery design, redox-targeting strategy, photoelectrode integration and organic redox-active materials present new chemistries for cost-effective and sustainable energy storage systems. This Review summarizes the recent development of next-generation redox flow batteries, providing a critical overview of the emerging redox chemistries of active materials from inorganics to organics. We discuss electrochemical characterizations and critical performance assessment considering the intrinsic properties of the active materials and the mechanisms that lead to degradation of energy storage capacity. In particular, we highlight the importance of advanced spectroscopic analysis and computational studies in enabling understanding of relevant mechanisms. We also outline the technical requirements for rational design of innovative materials and electrolytes to stimulate more exciting research and present the prospect of this field from aspects of both fundamental science and practical applications.

Abstract
The synthesis of four derivatives and the single-crystal X-ray structures of six 9-trifluoromethylxanthenediols (TFXdiols) I-VI are analyzed in this work. These compounds were obtained through superacid-catalyzed condensation of dihydroxybenzenes with 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone or 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone. The title molecules have a convex molecular structure due to their three fused rings of the xanthene moiety. We have found that, similar to resorcinol, the configuration of the hydroxyl groups is of great relevance for the crystal packing favoring either interactions above and below their molecular plane or lateral interactions that create layers. Considering that reports of TFXdiols are very scarce, our findings contribute to a better understanding of the molecular conformation and intermolecular interactions in their crystal structures. A similar analysis was extended to a fortuitous cocrystal obtained between 9-trifluoromethyl-9-(4'-fluorophenyl)-xanthenediol and 1,4-dihydroxybenzene, showing that these structures might be used to obtain cocrystals in the future.

Abstract
Porous organic polymers (POP) have gained attention because of their high specific surface area, porosity and their simplicity in synthesis, but for the most part, they are hydrophobic because of their organic backbone, making it difficult to expand their applications. Here, we have obtained poly(pyrene) porous organic polymers (PyPOP) through the polymerization of pyrene monomers catalysed by aluminium trichloride, which is a simple and inexpensive synthesis method. The sulfonated poly(pyrene) porous organic polymers (PyPOP-SO3H) obtained showed rapid adsorption of cationic dyes, especially malachite green (MG adsorption 1607 mg/g) and methylene blue (MB adsorption 1220 mg/g) in pH = 7 aqueous solution, room temperature. The results show that the Freundlich model is more in line with the adsorption process than the Langmuir model, whether for methylene blue or malachite green. In addition, the PSO kinetic model fits better than PFO kinetic model, whether it is for the adsorption of methylene blue or malachite green. The excellent adsorption performance of PyPOP-SO3H for cationic dyes may be due to the introduction of sulfonic acid groups, which not only increases the specific surface area but also allows better dispersion in water, increasing contact points and adsorption efficiency. This research expands the scope of exploration and application of POP.

Abstract
Design and construction of a membrane that can achieve selective separation of uranium from spent fuel or seawater is a big challenge in the field of separation science. In this work, 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTC) and three different nitrates (Zn/Ni/Cu) were used to prepare metal-organic frameworks (BTC-MOFs) with different pore sizes, and then, BTC-MOFs were intercalated into the interlayers of graphene oxide (GO) for preparing the composite membranes which presented selective separation of uranium with strong acid resistance. Composite membranes prepared by Zn/Ni/Cu-BTC-MOFs and GO can achieve the separation between ions of different valence states, and their permeability and selectivity depend on the membrane thickness, the acidity of driving solution, and the pore sizes of MOFs. Importantly, Cu-BTC-MOF-intercalated GO membranes can not only achieve the selective separation of Th4+ and UO22+ with a selectivity of ≈6 but also induce the ultra-high selectively separation of UO22+ and Ce3+ because the rejection rate of Ce3+ is about 100%. Moreover, the Zn-BTC-MOF-intercalated GO membrane shows an excellent selectivity of Th4+ and UO22+ with a selectivity of ≈25, and it may also achieve selective separation of uranium from seawater.

Abstract
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are among the most promising grid-scale energy storage technologies. However, the development of RFBs with high round-trip efficiency, high rate capability, and long cycle life for practical applications is highly restricted by the lack of appropriate ion-conducting membranes. Promising RFB membranes should separate positive and negative species completely and conduct balancing ions smoothly. Specific systems must meet additional requirements, such as high chemical stability in corrosive electrolytes, good resistance to organic solvents in nonaqueous systems, and excellent mechanical strength and flexibility. These rigorous requirements put high demands on the membrane design, essentially the chemistry and microstructure associated with ion transport channels. In this Review, we summarize the design rationale of recently reported RFB membranes at the molecular level, with an emphasis on new chemistry, novel microstructures, and innovative fabrication strategies. Future challenges and potential research opportunities within this field are also discussed.

Abstract
Fabricating proton exchange membranes (PEMs) with high ionic conductivity and ideal mechanical robustness through regulation of the membrane microstructures achieved by molecular-level hybridization remains essential but challenging for the further development of high-performance PEM fuel cells. In this work, by precisely hybridizing nano-scaled bismuth oxide clusters into Nafion, we have fabricated the high-performance hybrid membrane, Nafion-Bi12 -3 %, which showed a proton conductivity of 386 mS cm-1 at 80 °C in aqueous solution with low methanol permeability, and conserved the ideal mechanical and chemical stabilities as PEMs. Moreover, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was employed to clarify the structural properties and the assembly mechanisms of the hybrid membrane on the molecular level. The maximum current density and power density of Nafion-Bi12 -3 % for direct methanol fuel cells reached to 432.7 mA cm-2 and 110.2 mW cm-2 , respectively. This work provides new insights into the design of versatile functional polymer electrolyte membranes through polyoxometalate hybridization.
