Abstract
Non-aqueous electrolytes, generally consisting of metal salts and solvating media, are indispensable elements for building rechargeable batteries. As the major sources of ionic charges, the intrinsic characters of salt anions are of particular importance in determining the fundamental properties of bulk electrolyte, as well as the features of the resulting electrode-electrolyte interphases/interfaces. To cope with the increasing demand for better rechargeable batteries requested by emerging application domains, the structural design and modifications of salt anions are highly desired. Here, salt anions for lithium and other monovalent (e.g., sodium and potassium) and multivalent (e.g., magnesium, calcium, zinc, and aluminum) rechargeable batteries are outlined. Fundamental considerations on the design of salt anions are provided, particularly involving specific requirements imposed by different cell chemistries. Historical evolution and possible synthetic methodologies for metal salts with representative salt anions are reviewed. Recent advances in tailoring the anionic structures for rechargeable batteries are scrutinized, and due attention is paid to the paradigm shift from liquid to solid electrolytes, from intercalation to conversion/alloying-type electrodes, from lithium to other kinds of rechargeable batteries. The remaining challenges and key research directions in the development of robust salt anions are also discussed.

Abstract
Two novel LiCl·DMSO polymer structures were created by combining dry LiCl salt with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), namely, catena-poly[[chlorido-lithium(I)]-μ-(dimethyl sulfoxide)-κ2 O:O-[chlorido-lithium(I)]-di-μ-(dimethyl sulfoxide)-κ4 O:O], [Li2Cl2(C2H6OS)3] n , and catena-poly[lithium(I)-μ-chlorido-μ-(dimethyl sulfoxide)-κ2 O:O], [LiCl(C2H6OS)] n . The initial synthesized phase had very small block-shaped crystals (<0.08 mm) with monoclinic symmetry and a 2 LiCl: 3 DMSO ratio. As the solution evaporated, a second phase formed with a plate-shaped crystal morphology. After about 20 minutes, large (>0.20 mm) octa-hedron-shaped crystals formed. The plate crystals and the octa-hedron crystals are the same tetra-gonal structure with a 1 LiCl: 1 DMSO ratio. These structures are reported and compared to other known LiCl·solvent compounds.

Abstract
New dinuclear silver(i) complexes with N,N',N'',N'''-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (tpmc), [Ag2(NO3)(tpmc)]NO3·1.7H2O (1), [Ag2(CF3SO3)2(tpmc)] (2), and [Ag2(tpmc)](BF4)2 (3) were synthesized and characterized by NMR (1H and 13C), IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and molar conductivity measurements. The molecular structures of the complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The spectroscopic and crystallographic data showed that the structure of the complexes strongly depends on the nature of the counteranion of silver(i) salt used for their synthesis. The antimicrobial activity of complexes 1-3 was examined against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and different species of unicellular fungus Candida spp. The ability of these complexes to inhibit the formation of Candida biofilms and to eradicate the already formed biofilms was tested in the standard microtiter plate-based assay. In addition, a bioelectrochemical testing of the antimicrobial activity of complex 1 against early biofilm was also performed. The obtained results indicated that complexes 1-3 showed increased activity toward Gram-negative bacteria and Candida spp. and could inhibit the formation of biofilms. In most cases, these complexes had positive selectivity indices and showed similar or even better activity with respect to the clinically used silver(i) sulfadiazine (AgSD). The values of the binding constants for complexes 1-3 to bovine serum albumin (BSA) were found to be high enough to indicate their binding to this biomolecule, but not so high as to prevent their release upon arrival at the target site. Moreover, the positive values of partition coefficients for these complexes indicated their ability to be transported through the cell membrane. Once inside the cell, complexes 1-3 could induce the formation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in C. albicans cells and/or interact with DNA. Taken together, silver(i) complexes with the tpmc ligand could be considered as novel antimicrobial compounds with favourable pharmacological properties, being safer than AgSD.

Abstract
Water-in-salt (WIS) electrolytes are gaining increased interest as an alternative to conventional aqueous or organic ones. WIS electrolytes offer an interesting combination of safety, thanks to their aqueous character, and extended electrochemical stability window, thanks to the strong coordination between water molecules and ion salt. Nonetheless, cost, the tendency of salt precipitation, and sluggish ionic transfer leading to poor rate performance of devices are some intrinsic drawbacks of WIS electrolytes that yet need to be addressed for their technological implementation. It is worth noting that the absence of "free'' water molecules could also be achieved via the addition of a certain cosolvent capable of coordinating with water. This is the case of the eutectic mixture formed between DMSO and H2O with a molar ratio of 1:2 and a melting point as low as -140 °C. Interestingly, addition of salts at near-saturation conditions also resulted in an increase of the boiling point of the resulting solution. Herein, we used a eutectic mixture of DMSO and H2O for dissolution of LiTFSI in the 1.1-8.8 molality range. The resulting electrolyte (e.g., the so-called aqueous-eutectic-in-salt) exhibited excellent energy and power densities when operating in a supercapacitor cell over a wide range of extreme ambient temperatures, from as low as -35 °C to as high as +65 °C.
