Abstract
The two-electron reductive activation of O2 to O22- is of particular interest to the scientific community mainly due to the use of peroxides as green oxidants and in powerful fuel cells. Despite of the great importance of vanadium(IV) species to activate the two-electron reductive activation of O2, the mechanism is still unclear. Reaction of VIVO2+ species with the tridentate-planar N,N,N-carboxamide (ΗL) ligands in solution (CH3OH:H2O) under atmospheric O2, at room temperature, resulted in the quick formation of [VV(═O)(η2-O2)(κ3-L)(H2O)] and cis-[VV(═O)2(κ3-L)] compounds. Oxidation of the VIVO2+ complexes with the sterically hindered tridentate-planar N,N,N-carboxamide ligands by atmospheric O2 gave only cis-[VV(═O)2(κ3-L)] compounds. The mechanism of formation of [VV(═O)(η2-O2)(κ3-L)(H2O)] (I) and cis-[VV(═O)2(κ3-L)] (II) complexes vs time, from the interaction of [VIV(═O)(κ3-L)(Η2Ο)2]+ with atmospheric O2, was investigated with 51V, 1H NMR, UV-vis, cw-X-band EPR, and 18O2 labeling IR and resonance Raman spectroscopies revealing the formation of a stable intermediate (Id). EPR, MS, and theoretical calculations of the mechanism of the formation of I and II revealed a pathway, through a binuclear [VIV(═O)(κ3-L)(H2O)(η1,η1-O2)VIV(═O)(κ3-L)(H2O)]2+ intermediate. The results from cw-EPR, 1H NMR spectroscopies, cyclic voltammetry, and the reactivity of the complexes [VIV(═O)(κ3-L)(Η2Ο)2]+ toward O2 reduction fit better to an intermediate with a binuclear nature. Dynamic experiments in combination with computational calculations were undertaken to fully elucidate the mechanism of the O2 reduction to O22- by [VIV(═O)(κ3-L)(Η2Ο)2]+. The galvanic cell {Zn|VIII,VII||Id, [VIVO(κ3-L)(H2O)2]+|O2|C(s)} was manufactured, demonstrating the important applicability of this new chemistry to Zn|H2O2 fuel cells technology generating H2O2 in situ from the atmospheric O2.

Abstract
The reactivity of biological or synthetic metalloenzymes is modulated in the presence of redox innocent Lewis acidic metal ions as they change the redox potential of the redox active metal ions present in the active site of metalloenzymes. To study this effect, we synthesised a mono-nuclear V(IV) complex (VOL, 1) with an N2O4 donor bicompartmental ligand, characterized it by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and recorded its cyclic voltammogram in acetonitrile. The CV revealed a reversible redox process for the V(IV)/V(V) couple. The potential of the V(IV)/V(V) couple shifted to a more positive value when equivalent amounts of Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+ and Ba2+ ions were added separately to its acetonitrile solution, but the extent of shift for Li+ and Mg2+ was much less than that of the other metal ions. The guest metal ions except Li+ and Mg2+ were accommodated in the outer compartment of VOL as confirmed by IR and UV-Vis spectral analysis. Single-crystal structural analysis of [(VOL)KPF6]2, (1·K) and [(VOL)Ba(ClO4)2(H2O)]n, (1·Ba) also confirmed the hetero-metallic adduct formation. The correlation of the shift of the V(IV/V) redox potential with the Lewis acidity of respective metal ions deviated appreciably from linearity. DFT calculations suggest that the shift in potential is probably controlled by local electric fields induced by those ions, as indicated by 2D vector electric field maps.

Abstract
Integrating a photoelectrode into a zinc-air battery is a promising approach to reducing the overpotential required for charging a metal-air battery by using solar energy. In this work, a photo-fuel cell employing a Nb2O5/CdS photoanode and a Zn foil as a counter-electrode worked as a photoelectrochemical battery that saves up to 1.4 V for battery charging. This is the first time a Nb2O5-based photoelectrode is reported as a photoanode in a metal-air battery, and the achieved gain is one of the top results reported so far. Furthermore, the cell consumed an organic fuel, supporting the idea of using biomass wastes as a power source for sunlight-assisted charging of metal-air batteries. Thus, this device provides additional environmental benefits and contributes to technologies integrating solar energy conversion and storage.
