Abstract
The modification of metallic Zn anode contributes to solving the cycling issue of Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) by restraining the dendrite growth and side reactions. In this regard, modulating (002) Zn is an effective way to prolong the lifespan of ZIBs with a parallel arrangement of Zn deposition. Herein, the authors propose to add trace amounts of Zn(BF4 )2 additive in 3 M ZnSO4 to promote in-plane Zn deposition by forming a BF4 - -[Zn(H2 O)6 ]2+ -[Zn(BF4 )3 ]- transfer process and specifically functioning on (002) facets. In this way, the optimized electrolyte highly boosts the cycling stability of Zn anodes with a long lifespan at 34.2% Zn utilization (500 h/10 mA cm-2 ) and 51.3% Zn utilization (360 h/10 mA cm-2 ; 834 h/1 mA cm-2 ). Moreover, the electroplated Zn on Cu substrate exhibits a competitive cumulative plating capacity (CPC) of 2.87 Ah cm-2 under harsh conditions. The assembled Zn|(NH4 )2 V6 O16 ·3H2 O full cells with a high cathode loading of 29.12 mg cm-2 also realizes almost no capacity degradation even after 2000 cycles at 2 A g-1 . With this cost-effective strategy, it is promising to push the development of aqueous ZIBs as well as provide inspiration for metal anode optimization in other energy storage systems.

Abstract
Metal halides have potential applications in many optics-related fields, such as birefringence materials. Here, a pentanary fluoride K3Na(TaF7)(SiF6) has been obtained through a facile hydrothermal route. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Immm, and its zero-dimensional framework features isolated SiF6 octahedra and TaF7 monocapped trigonal prisms, a new type of combination representing a new structure-type. It exhibits two wide optical band gaps of 4.46 eV and 5.67 eV which is consistent with DFT calculation. K3Na(TaF7)(SiF6) exhibits a larger birefringence (0.045 at 253.7 nm) compared with the commercial MgF2 crystal.

The crystal structure of oxido-nitro-gen(1+) tetra-fluorido-borate (nitro-sonium tetra-fluorido-borate), NO+BF4 -, was refined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data at 150 K. The compound crystallizes in the baryte structure type with ortho-rhom-bic Pnma symmetry. The crystal structure exhibits cationic disorder with equal occupation of N and O atoms at the same site.

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2015; 26:1559-1569. [PMID: 25953491 DOI: 10.1007/s13361-015-1160-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2014] [Revised: 03/19/2015] [Accepted: 03/29/2015] [Indexed: 06/04/2023]
Abstract
Metal fluoroanions are of significant interest for fundamental structure and reactivity studies and for making isotope ratio measurements that are free from isobaric overlap. Iron fluoroanions [FeF(4)](-) and [FeF(3)](-) were generated by electrospray ionization of solutions of Fe(III) and Fe(II) with the fluorinating ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium fluorohydrogenate [EMIm](+)[F(HF)(2.3)](-). Solutions containing Fe(III) salts produce predominately uncomplexed [FeF(4)](-) in the negative ion spectrum, as do solutions containing salts of Fe(II). This behavior contrasts with that of solutions of FeCl(3) and FeCl(2) (without [EMIm](+)[F(HF)(2.3)](-)) that preserve the solution-phase oxidation state by producing the gas-phase halide complexes [FeCl(4)](-) and [FeCl(3)](-), respectively. Thus, the electrospray-[EMIm](+)[F(HF)(2.3)](-) process is oxidative with respect to Fe(II). The positive ion spectra of Fe with [EMIm](+)[F(HF)(2.3)](-) displays cluster ions having the general formula [EMIm](+) (n+1)[FeF(4)](-) n, and DFT calculations predict stable complexes, both of which substantiate the conclusion that [FeF(4)](-) is present in solution stabilized by the imidazolium cation. The negative ion ESI mass spectrum of the Fe-ionic liquid solution has a very low background in the region of the [FeF(4)](-) complex, and isotope ratios measured for both [FeF(4)](-) and adventitious [SiF(5)](-) produced values in close agreement with theoretical values; this suggests that very wide isotope ratio measurements should be attainable with good accuracy and precision when the ion formation scheme is implemented on a dedicated isotope ratio mass spectrometer.
