Intermetallics Based on Sodium Chalcogenides Promote Stable Electrodeposition–Electrodissolution of Sodium Metal Anodes (Adv. Energy Mater. 27/2023)

BIVPLENT METAL COMPLEXES OF SODIUM ASCORBATE

The mode of coordination of8 manganese(fI), cobaltm, nickel(H), copper(II), zinc(H), lead(II) and cadmium(I1) to sodium ascorbate (NaHAsc) was investigated using IR, UV-visible, AAS, elemental microanalyzer, conductivity, magnetic and 'M and I3C NMR spectroscopic studies, NaNAsc is bidentate and coordination was through the carbonyl group and the oxygen atom of carbon-2 enolic hydfoxyl grou...

Energy Storage: Advanced Micro/Nanostructures for Lithium Metal Anodes (Adv. Sci. 3/2017)

L-Aspartate links for stable sodium metal-organic frameworks.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based purely on sodium are rare, typically due to large numbers of coordinating solvent ligands. We designed a tetratopic aspartate-based linker with flexible carboxylate groups to enhance framework stability. We report two new air-stable sodium MOFs, MOF-705 and MOF-706, comprising 2D sodium oxide sheets.

High yield exfoliation of two-dimensional chalcogenides using sodium naphthalenide.

Transition-metal dichalcogenides like molybdenum disulphide have attracted great interest as two-dimensional materials beyond graphene due to their unique electronic and optical properties. Solution-phase processes can be a viable method for producing printable single-layer chalcogenides. Molybdenum disulphide can be exfoliated into monolayer flakes using organolithium reduction chemistry; unfo...

Owing to almost unmatched volumetric energy density, Li-ion batteries have dominated the portable electronics industry and solid state electrochemical literature for the past 20 years. Not only will that continue, but they ar...
