Item Open Access Designing covalent organic framework‐based light‐driven microswimmers toward therapeutic applications(2023) Sridhar, Varun; Yildiz, Erdost; Rodríguez‐Camargo, Andrés; Lyu, Xianglong; Yao, Liang; Wrede, Paul; Aghakhani, Amirreza; Akolpoglu, Birgul M.; Podjaski, Filip; Lotsch, Bettina V.; Sitti, MetinWhile micromachines with tailored functionalities enable therapeutic applications in biological environments, their controlled motion and targeted drug delivery in biological media require sophisticated designs for practical applications. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a new generation of crystalline and nanoporous polymers, offer new perspectives for light‐driven microswimmers in heterogeneous biological environments including intraocular fluids, thus setting the stage for biomedical applications such as retinal drug delivery. Two different types of COFs, uniformly spherical TABP‐PDA‐COF sub‐micrometer particles and texturally nanoporous, micrometer‐sized TpAzo‐COF particles are described and compared as light‐driven microrobots. They can be used as highly efficient visible‐light‐driven drug carriers in aqueous ionic and cellular media. Their absorption ranging down to red light enables phototaxis even in deeper and viscous biological media, while the organic nature of COFs ensures their biocompatibility. Their inherently porous structures with ≈2.6 and ≈3.4 nm pores, and large surface areas allow for targeted and efficient drug loading even for insoluble drugs, which can be released on demand. Additionally, indocyanine green (ICG) dye loading in the pores enables photoacoustic imaging, optical coherence tomography, and hyperthermia in operando conditions. This real‐time visualization of the drug‐loaded COF microswimmers enables unique insights into the action of photoactive porous drug carriers for therapeutic applications.Item Open Access Interphases between alkali metals (Li, Na) and battery electrolytes : ion transport and growth behavior(2022) Lim, Kyungmi; Maier, Joachim (Prof. Dr.)Item Open Access Confirmation of siderazot, Fe3N1.33, the only terrestrial nitride mineral(2021) Bette, Sebastian; Theye, Thomas; Bernhardt, Heinz-Jürgen; Clark, William P.; Niewa, RainerSiderazot, the only terrestrial nitride mineral, was reported only once in 1876 to occur as coating on volcanic rocks in a fumarolic environment from Mt. Etna and, to date, has been neither confirmed nor structurally characterized. We have studied the holotype sample from the Natural History Museum, London, UK, originally collected by O. Silvestri in 1874, and present siderazot with epsilon-Fe3N-type crystal structure and composition of Fe3N1.33(7) according to crystal structure Rietveld refinements, in good agreement with electron microprobe analyses. Crystal structure data, chemical composition, and Raman and reflectance measurements are reported. Possible formation conditions are derived from composition and phase stability data according to synthetic samples.Item Open Access On the thermal dimorphy of the strontium perrhenate Sr[ReO4]2(2024) Conrad, Maurice; Bette, Sebastian; Dinnebier, Robert E.; Schleid, ThomasHygroscopic single crystals of a new hexagonal high‐temperature modification of Sr[ReO4]2 were prepared from a melt of Sr[ReO4]2 ⋅ H2O and SrCl2 ⋅ 6 H2O. The structure analysis of the obtained crystals by X‐ray diffraction revealed that the title compound crystallizes in the ThCd[MoO4]3‐type structure with the hexagonal space group P63/m and the lattice parameters a=1023.81(7) pm and c=646.92(4) pm (c/a=0.632) for Z=2 in its quenchable high‐temperature form. Two crystallographically independent Sr2+ cations are coordinated by oxygen atoms forming either octahedra or tricapped trigonal prisms, whereas the Re7+ cations are found in the centers of discrete tetrahedral meta‐perrhenate units [ReO4]-. Temperature‐dependent in‐situ PXRD studies of dry powder samples of Sr[ReO4]2 exhibited its thermal dimorphy with a phase‐transition temperature at 500-550 °C from literature‐known m‐Sr[ReO4]2 into the newly discovered h‐Sr[ReO4]2 (hexagonal).Item Open Access First-principles thermodynamic study of oxygen vacancies in ABO3-type perovskites(2017) Arrigoni, Marco; Maier, Joachim (Prof. Dr.)Item Open Access High‐performance magnesium‐sulfur batteries based on a sulfurated poly(acrylonitrile) cathode, a borohydride electrolyte, and a high‐surface area magnesium anode(2020) Wang, Peiwen; Trück, Janina; Niesen, Stefan; Kappler, Julian; Küster, Kathrin; Starke, Ulrich; Ziegler, Felix; Hintennach, Andreas; Buchmeiser, Michael R.Post‐lithium‐ion battery technology is considered a key element of future energy storage and management. Apart from high gravimetric and volumetric energy densities, economic, ecologic and safety issues become increasingly important. In that regards, both the anode and cathode materials must be easily available, recyclable, non‐toxic and safe, which renders magnesium‐sulfur (Mg-S) batteries a promising choice. Herein, we present Mg-S cells based on a sulfurated poly(acrylonitrile) composite cathode (SPAN), together with a halogen‐free electrolyte containing both Mg[BH4]2 and Li[BH4] in diglyme and a high‐specific surface area magnesium anode based on Rieke magnesium powder. These cells deliver discharge capacities of 1400 and 800 mAh/gsulfur with >99 % Coulombic efficiency at 0.1 C and 0.5 C, respectively, and are stable over at least 300 cycles. Energy densities are 470 and 400 Wh/kgsulfur at 0.1 C and 0.5 C, respectively. Rate tests carried out between 0.1 C and 2 C demonstrate good rate capability of the cells. Detailed mechanistic studies based on X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electric impedance spectroscopy are presented.Item Open Access Interfacial effects in solid-liquid glyme-based electrolytes for lithium batteries(2018) Nojabaee, Seyedeh Maryam; Maier, Joachim (Prof. Dr.)Item Open Access Monomeric and dimeric (aminomethylidene)phosphines and -arsines(1986) Becker, Gerd; Mayer, M.; Mundt, Otto; Riffel, Heinz; Wessely, Hans-Jürgen; Simon, Arndt-Item Open Access Sulfurized polypropylene as low‐cost cathode material for high‐capacity lithium‐sulfur batteries(2022) Du, Qian; Benedikter, Mathis; Küster, Kathrin; Acartürk, Tolga; Starke, Ulrich; Hoslauer, Jean‐Louis; Schleid, Thomas; Buchmeiser, Michael R.Among ‘beyond lithium ion’ energy storage, lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries are one of the most promising technologies, as a result of the potential for high theoretical energy capacity at low cost. A key obstacle in exploiting the vast potential of Li-S batteries is the formation of soluble polysulfide species. Here, we report sulfurized polypropylene (S/PP‐500) synthesized in one‐step by reacting polypropylene (PP) with sulfur as a new polysulfide shuttle‐free cathode material for Li-S batteries. It exhibits a reversible capacity as high as 1000 mAh/gsulfur at 0.1 C and a sulfur loading of up to 68 wt%, which in turn allows for high sulfur loadings up to 47 % in the final cathode. The low‐cost starting materials together with the simple synthetic procedure and the good electrochemical performance in combination with a commercially available eslectrolyte make the S/PP‐500 a very promising cathode material for Li‐S batteries.Item Open Access Binder-free V2O5 cathode for high energy density rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries(2020) Diem, Achim M.; Fenk, Bernhard; Bill, Joachim; Burghard, ZaklinaNowadays, research on electrochemical storage systems moves into the direction of post-lithium-ion batteries, such as aluminum-ion batteries, and the exploration of suitable materials for such batteries. Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is one of the most promising host materials for the intercalation of multivalent ions. Here, we report on the fabrication of a binder-free and self-supporting V2O5 micrometer-thick paper-like electrode material and its use as the cathode for rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries. The electrical conductivity of the cathode was significantly improved by a novel in-situ and self-limiting copper migration approach into the V2O5 structure. This process takes advantage of the dissolution of Cu by the ionic liquid-based electrolyte, as well as the presence of two different accommodation sites in the nanostructured V2O5 available for aluminum-ions and the migrated Cu. Furthermore, the advanced nanostructured cathode delivered a specific discharge capacity of up to ~170 mAh g-1 and the reversible intercalation of Al3+ for more than 500 cycles with a high Coulomb efficiency reaching nearly 100%. The binder-free concept results in an energy density of 74 Wh kg-1, which shows improved energy density in comparison to the so far published V2O5-based cathodes. Our results provide valuable insights for the future design and development of novel binder-free and self-supporting electrodes for rechargeable multivalent metal-ion batteries associating a high energy density, cycling stability, safety and low cost.
