    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.

    Synthesis and crystal‐structure analysis of the K2NiF4‐type hydride oxides LiLnEuH2-xO2 (Ln=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) and LiEu2H3O by neutron and X‐ray diffraction
    (2022) Hoslauer, Jean‐Louis; Zapp, Nicolas; Fischer, Henry E.; Rudolph, Daniel; Kohlmann, Holger; Schleid, Thomas
    The hydride oxides LiLnEuH2-xO2 (Ln=La, Ce, Pr, Nd and Sm) were synthesized by reaction of the lanthanide sesquioxides with europium monoxide, europium dihydride and lithium hydride under inert conditions at 750 °C as black powders. They crystallize in the tetragonal K2NiF4‐type structure (space group: I4/mmm) with a mixed Ln3+/Eu2+ occupation. The crystal structures of the europium representatives LiLaEuH2-xO2 and LiLaEuD2-xO2 were analyzed by powder neutron diffraction data at short wavelengths (λ=70 pm). Hydrogen (deuterium) and oxygen atoms occupy distinct crystallographic sites with considerable vacancy concentrations on the hydrogen positions (a=363.80(8) pm, c=1323.3(3) pm, c/a=3.637 for LiLaEuH1.26(4)O2 and a=363.43(5) pm, c=1321.6(2) pm, c/a=3.636 for LiLaEuD1.41(2)O2). Moving from the mixed Ln/Eu occupation in LiLnEuH2O2 to Ln=Eu2+, we obtained the mixed‐anionic phase LiEu2H3O, which crystallizes in the same structure type with a=370.04(2) pm, c=1317.32(8) pm and c/a=3.560.

    Li2Eu3Br2[BO3]2 : a new europium(II) halide oxoborate with yellow luminescence
    (2020) Hoslauer, Jean‐Louis; Lissner, Falk; Blaschkowski, Björn; Schleid, Thomas
    The europium(II) oxoborate Li2Eu3Br2[BO3]2 featuring lithium and bromide ions was synthesized by the reaction of Eu2O3 with Li[BH4] as lithium‐ and boron‐ as well as EuBr3 as bromide‐source at 750 °C for 24 h in silica‐jacketed sealed niobium capsules. The yellow, air‐stable and yellow fluorescent compound crystallizes in the trigonal space group R3m (a = 1049.06(7) pm, c = 2993.1(3) pm, c/a = 2.853, Z = 12). The two crystallographically distinguishable Eu2+ cations show either an eightfold coordination as bicapped trigonal prism ([EuO6Br2]12-) or a ninefold coordination as monocapped square antiprism ([EuO5Br4]12-). All oxygen atoms stem from isolated triangular [BO3]3- anions and the Li+ cations reside in octahedral voids provided by both oxygen atoms and Br- anions.
