A novel flame-retardant lithium fluoroborate salt for LNMO-graphite-based Li-ion batteries
A novel flame-retardant lithium fluoroborate salt for LNMO-graphite-based Li-ion batteries A novel lithium salt (lithium bis-fluoro bis-nonafluoro-tert-butoxy borate) shows high solubility (>1 M) and flame-retardant properties in an electrolyte solution with conventional carbonate solvents as well as stable cycling in a high-voltage (4.8 V) LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4-graphite based lithium-ion battery.

Sustainable Nitrogen Activation - Are We There Yet?
Sustainable Nitrogen Activation – Are We There Yet? Doug MacFarlane, Alexandr N Simonov, Th Vu, Sam Johnston and Luis Miguel Azofra Abstract The activation of dinitrogen as a fundamental step in reactions to produce nitrogen compounds, including ammonia and nitrates, has a cornerstone role in chemistry. Bringing together research from disparate fields where this can be achieved sustainably, this Faraday Discussion seeks to build connections between approaches that can stimulate further advances.
Competition between metal-catalysed electroreduction of dinitrogen, protons, and nitrogen oxides: a DFT perspective
Competition between metal-catalysed electroreduction of dinitrogen, protons, and nitrogen oxides: a DFT perspective Pilar Carro, Jaecheol Choi, Doug MacFarlane, Alexandr N Simonov, Jose Miguel Doña-Rodriguez and Luis Miguel Azofra Abstract Production of green ammonia through electrochemical reduction of N2 is amongst the major challenges of applied catalysis today.
Thin films of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)-ionic liquid mixtures as amperometric gas sensing materials for oxygen and ammonia
Thin films of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)-ionic liquid mixtures as amperometric gas sensing materials for oxygen and ammonia Gas sensors are important devices used to monitor the type and amount of gas present. Amperometric gas sensors (AGSs) – based on measuring the current upon an applied potential – have been progressing towards miniaturised designs that are smaller, lower cost, faster responding and more robust compared to commercially available sensors.
Novel and versatile room temperature ionic liquids for energy storage
Due to their high glass transition temperature, ionic liquids based on closo-boron clusters have been long discounted from consideration in energy storage applications. Here, we report a strategy that resulted in a novel family of closo-boron-cluster based room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Their very low glass transition, high cathodic and anodic stabilities and compatibility with Li and Mg metals make them excellent candidates as electrolytes for rechargeable batteries and hybrid devices.

New Dimensions in Salt-Solvent mixtures: A 4th Evolution of Ionic Liquids
In the field of ionic liquids (ILs) it has long been of fundamental interest to examine the transition from salt-in-solvent behaviour to pure liquid-salt behaviour, in terms of structures and properties. At the same time, a variety of applications have beneficially employed IL-solvent mixtures as media that offer an optimal set of properties. Their properties in many cases can be other than as expected on the basis of simple mixing concepts.
Ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering detection of urea by highly ordered Au/Cu hybrid nanostructure arrays

MnO2/MnCo2O4/Ni Heterostructure with Quadruple Hierarchy: A Bifunctional Electrode Architecture for Overall Urea Oxidation
A three-dimensional MnO2/MnCo2O4/Ni core-shell heterostructured electrode has been fabricated through a facile method. This electrode architecture consists of four levels of interconnected hierarchy: primary macroporous Ni foam scaffold (? 500 ?m), intermediate vertically-aligned MnCo2O4 core-nanoflake array (50-100 nm), topmost ultrathin MnO2 nanosheets (~10 nm) and short-range ordered mesopores (~ 5 nm) on the MnO2 nanosheets.
Co3O4 Nanoneedle Array as a Multifunctional “Super-reservoir” Electrode for Long Cycle Life Li−S Batteries
Lithium–sulfur (Li?S) batteries are highly attractive as energy storage devices due to their low cost and high energy density. The undesired capacity degradation caused by the polysulfide shuttle, however, has hindered their commercialization. Herein, a Co3O4 nanoneedle array on carbon cloth (CC@Co3O4) nanocomposite has been prepared and demonstrated for the first time as a multifunctional “super-reservoir” electrode to prolong the cycle life of Li?S batteries.
