Synthesis of Arylene Ether-Type Hyperbranched Poly(triphenylamine) for Lithium Battery Cathodes.

ABSTRACT: We synthesized a new poly(triphenylamine), having a hyperbranched structure, and employed it in lithium-ion batteries as an organic cathode material. Two types of monomers were prepared with hydroxyl groups and nitro leaving groups, activated by a trifluoromethyl substituent, and then polymerized via the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction. The reactivity of the monomers differed depending on the number of hydroxyl groups and the A₂B type monomer with one hydroxyl group successfully produced poly(triphenylamine). Based on thermal, optical, and electrochemical analyses, a composite poly(triphenylamine) electrode was made. The electrochemical performance investigations confirmed that the lithium-ion batteries, fabricated with the poly(triphenylamine)-based cathodes, had reasonable specific capacity values and stable cycling performance, suggesting the potential of this hyperbranched polymer in cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Hyperbranched Poly(ether-siloxane)s Containing Ammonium Groups: Synthesis, Characterization and Catalytic Activity.

Project description:In this article we report an easy synthetic route towards hyperbranched polyglycerols (Amm-HBPGs) containing trimethylammonium groups and siloxane or hydroxyl end-groups. Siloxane derivatives of Amm-HBPGs were synthesized in an efficient five-step procedure including an anionic ring opening copolymerization of the phthalimide-epoxy monomer with glycidol, followed by reactions with allyl bromide, hydrosililation with hydrogenheptamethyltrisiloxane, hydrazinolysis of phthalimide groups and quaternization of resulting amine groups with methyl iodide. Hydroxyl derivatives were obtained by quaternization of previously reported aminated HBPG's with methyl iodide. Polymeric products were characterized using various NMR techniques, FTIR, and elemental analysis. Both Amm-HBPGs were shown to be effective in catalysis of addition of CO2 to oxirane. The hydrophilic catalysts showed higher efficiency but synthesis of ethylene carbonate was accompanied by formation of small amounts of ethylene glycol. The siloxane-containing catalyst was easily separable from reaction mixture showing high potential in the process of converting carbon dioxide into valuable chemical raw materials.

Visualizing nanoscale 3D compositional fluctuation of lithium in advanced lithium-ion battery cathodes.

Project description:The distribution of cations in Li-ion battery cathodes as a function of cycling is a pivotal characteristic of battery performance. The transition metal cation distribution has been shown to affect cathode performance; however, Li is notoriously challenging to characterize with typical imaging techniques. Here laser-assisted atom probe tomography (APT) is used to map the three-dimensional distribution of Li at a sub-nanometre spatial resolution and correlate it with the distribution of the transition metal cations (M) and the oxygen. As-fabricated layered Li1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2 is shown to have Li-rich Li2MO3 phase regions and Li-depleted Li(Ni0.5Mn0.5)O2 regions. Cycled material has an overall loss of Li in addition to Ni-, Mn- and Li-rich regions. Spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 is shown to have a uniform distribution of all cations. APT results were compared to energy dispersive spectroscopy mapping with a scanning transmission electron microscope to confirm the transition metal cation distribution.

Synthesis and characterization of a novel crosslinkable side-chain sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymer proton exchange membranes.

Project description:A series of novel crosslinkable side-chain sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymers (S-SPAES(x/y)) was prepared from 4,4'-biphenol, 4,4'-difluorodiphenyl sulfone, and a new difluoro aromatic monomer 1-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-2-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,2-ethanedione (DFDMED) via co-polycondensation, demethylation, and further nucleophilic substitution of 1,4-butane sultone. Meanwhile, quinoxaline-based crosslinked copolymers (CS-SPAES(x/y)) were obtained via cyclo-condensation between S-SPAES(x/y) and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine. Both the crosslinkable and crosslinked copolymer membranes exhibit good mechanical properties and high anisotropic membrane swelling. Crosslinkable S-SPAES(1/2) with an ion exchange capacity (IEC) of 2.01 mequiv. g-1 displays a relatively high proton conductivity of 180 mS cm-1 and acceptable single-cell performance, which is attributed to its good microphase separation resulting from the side-chain sulfonated copolymer structures. Compared with S-SPAES(1/1) (IEC of 1.68 mequiv. g-1), crosslinked CS-SPAES(1/2) with a comparable IEC exhibits a larger conductivity of 157 mS cm-1, and significantly higher oxidative stability and lower membrane swelling, suggesting a distinct performance improvement due to the quinoxaline-based crosslinking.

Comparative life cycle assessment of high performance lithium-sulfur battery cathodes.

Project description:Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries present a great potential to displace current energy storage chemistries thanks to their energy density that goes far beyond conventional batteries. To promote the development of greener Li-S batteries, closing the existing gap between the quantification of the potential environmental impacts associated with Li-S cathodes and their performance is required. Herein we show a comparative analysis of the life cycle environmental impacts of five Li-S battery cathodes with high sulfur loadings (1.5-15 mg·cm-2) through life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology and cradle-to-gate boundary. Depending on the selected battery, the environmental impact can be reduced by a factor up to 5. LCA results from Li-S batteries are compared with the conventional lithium ion battery from Ecoinvent 3.6 database, showing a decreased environmental impact per kWh of storage capacity. A predominant role of the electrolyte on the environmental burdens associated with the use of Li-S batteries was also found. Sensitivity analysis shows that the specific impacts can be reduced by up to 70% by limiting the amount of used electrolyte. Overall, this manuscript emphasizes the potential of Li-S technology to develop environmentally benign batteries aimed at replacing existing energy storage systems.

Teaching an Old Poly(arylene ether) New Tricks: Efficient Blue Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence.

Project description:Polymer light-emitting diodes are attractive for optoelectronic applications owing to their brightness and ease of processing. However, often metals have to be inserted to increase the luminescence efficiency, and producing blue emitters is a challenge. Here we present a strategy to make blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) polymers by directly embedding a small molecular blue TADF emitter into a poly(aryl ether) (PAE) backbone. Thanks to the oxygen-induced negligible electronic communication between neighboring TADF fragments, its corresponding blue delayed fluorescence can be inherited by the developed polymers. These polymers are free from metal catalyst contamination and show improved thermal stability. Through device optimization, a current efficiency of 29.7 cd/A (21.2 lm/W, 13.2%) is realized together with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates of (0.18, 0.32). The value is competitive with blue phosphorescent polymers, highlighting the importance of the PAE backbone in achieving high-performance blue delayed fluorescence at a macromolecular level.

Component Adjustment of Poly(arylene ether nitrile) with Sulfonic and Carboxylic Groups for Dielectric Films.

Project description:Poly(arylene ether nitrile)s with sulfonic and carboxylic groups (SCPEN) were synthesized to investigate their electrical properties. This new series of copolymers were prepared by copolymerization of phenolphthalein, potassium hydroquinonesulfonate, and 2,6-difluorobenzonitrile, in different mole ratios. Their thermal, mechanical and dielectric properties were investigated in detail. By adjusting the composition of sulfonic and carboxylic groups, it can be concluded that the dielectric constant increases with the increase of sulfonic groups, and mechanical and thermal properties improve with the increase of carboxylic groups. The as-prepared SCPEN films show potential applications in electronic storage materials, which provide insights into the correlation of SCPEN electrical properties with its chemical structure. The structure-property relationship is established to broaden the application of functionalized PEN. Furthermore, SCPEN with rich polar groups may also be used as the polymer matrix to increase the interaction with the filler surface, ensuring a better dispersion of filler in the matrix. This provides a reference for the development of high dielectric materials.

Disulfonated Poly(arylene ether sulfone) Random Copolymers Containing Hierarchical Iptycene Units for Proton Exchange Membranes.

Project description:Two series of disulfonated iptycene-based poly(arylene ether sulfone) random copolymers, i.e., TRP-BP (triptycene-based) and PENT-BP (pentiptycene-based), were synthesized via condensation polymerization from disulfonated monomer and comonomers to prepare proton exchange membranes (PEMs) for potential applications in electrochemical devices such as fuel cell. To investigate the effect of iptycene units on membrane performance, these copolymers were systematically varied in composition (i.e., iptycene content) and the degree of sulfonation (i.e., 30-50%), which were characterized comprehensively in terms of water uptake, swelling ratio, oxidative stability, thermal and mechanical properties, and proton conductivity at various temperatures. Comparing to copolymers without iptycene units, TRP-BP and PENT-BP ionomers showed greatly enhanced thermal and oxidative stabilities due to strong intra- and inter-molecular supramolecular interactions induced by hierarchical iptycene units. In addition, the introduction of iptycene units in general provides PEMs with exceptional dimensional stability of low volume swelling ratio at high water uptakes, which is ascribed to the supramolecularly interlocked structure as well as high fractional free volume of iptycene-based polymers. It is demonstrated that the combination of high proton conductivity and good membrane dimension stability is the result of the synergistic effects of multiple factors including free volume (iptycene content), sulfonation degree, hydrophobicity, and swelling behavior (supramolecular interactions).

Structure-Property Relationship on the Example of Gas Separation Characteristics of Poly(Arylene Ether Ketone)s and Poly(Diphenylene Phtalide).

Project description:Three poly(arylene ether ketone)s (PAEKs) with propylidene (C1, C2) and phtalide (C3) fragments, and one phtalide-containing polyarylene (C4), were synthesized. Their chemical structures were confirmed via 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 19F NMR spectroscopy. The polymers have shown a high glass transition temperature (>155 °C), excellent film-forming properties, and a high free volume for this polymer type. The influence of various functional groups in the structure of PAEKs was evaluated. Expectedly, due to higher free volume the introduction of hexafluoropropylidene group to PAEK resulted in higher increase of gas permeability in comparison with propylidene group. The substitution of the fluorine-containing group on a rigid phtalide moiety (C3) significantly increases glass transition temperature of the polymer while gas permeation slightly decreases. Finally, the removal of two ether groups from PAEK structure (C4) leads to a rigid polymer chain that is characterized by highest free volume, gas permeability and diffusion coefficients among the PAEKs under investigation. Methods of modified atomic (MAC) and bond (BC) contributions were applied to estimate gas permeation and diffusion. Both techniques showed reasonable predicted parameters for three polymers while a significant underestimation of gas transport parameters was observed for C4. Gas solubility coefficients for PAEKs were forecasted by "Short polymer chain surface based pre-diction" (SPCSBP) method. Results for all three prediction methods were compared with the ex-perimental data obtained in this work. Predicted parameters were in good agreement with ex-perimental data for phtalide-containing polymers (C3 and C4) while for propylidene-containing poly(arylene ether ketone)s they were overestimated due to a possible influence of propylidene fragment on indices of oligomeric chains. MAC and BC methods demonstrated better prediction power than SPCSBP method.

Synthesis and chemosensing properties of cinnoline-containing poly(arylene ethynylene)s.

Project description:Novel poly(arylene ethynylene)s comprising a cinnoline core were prepared in high yields via a three-step methodology. A Richter-type cyclization of 2-ethynyl- and 2-(buta-1,3-diynyl)aryltriazenes was used for cinnoline ring formation, followed by a Sonogashira coupling for the introduction of trimethylsilylethynyl moieties and a sila-Sonogashira coupling as the polycondensation technique. The fluorescence of the cinnoline-containing polymers in THF was highly sensitive to quenching by Pd(2+) ions.
