Physical Organic Approach to Persistent, Cyclable, Low-Potential Electrolytes for Flow Battery Applications
摘要:
The deployment of nonaqueous redox flow batteries for grid-scale energy storage has been impeded by a lack of electrolytes that undergo redox events at as low (anolyte) or high (catholyte) potentials as possible while exhibiting the stability and cycling lifetimes necessary for a battery device. Herein, we report a new approach to electrolyte design that uses physical organic tools for the predictive targeting of electrolytes that possess this combination of properties. We apply this approach to the identification of a new pyridinium-based anolyte that undergoes 1e(-) electrochemical charge discharge cycling at low potential (-1.21 V vs Fc/Fc(+)) to a 95% state-of-charge without detectable capacity loss after 200 cycles.

The directdecarboxylativearylation of α‐oxo acids has been achieved by synergistic visible‐light‐mediated photoredox and nickelcatalysis. This method offers rapid entry to aryl and alkyl ketone architectures from simple α‐oxo acid precursors via an acyl radical intermediate. Significant substrate scope is observed with respect to both the oxo acid and arene coupling partners. This mild decarboxylative
The oxidative addition of active zinc to iodo- and bromo-substituted π-deficient heteroarenes such as pyridine, pyrimidine, and quinoline gave the corresponding heteroarylzinc halides which were transformed to the arylated and benzoylated derivatives by palladium-catalyzed reaction.

Methods described herein enable the production of numerous molecular species through decarboxylative cross-coupling via use of photoredox and transition metal catalysts. A method described herein, in some embodiments, comprises providing a reaction mixture including a photoredox catalyst, a transition metal catalyst, a coupling partner and a substrate having a carboxyl group. The reaction mixture is irradiated with a radiation source resulting in cross-coupling of the substrate and coupling partner via a mechanism including decarboxylation, wherein the coupling partner is selected from the group consisting of a substituted aromatic compound and a substituted aliphatic compound.
