Abstract The newly emerged aqueous Zn–organic batteries are attracting extensive attention as a promising candidate for energy storage. However, most of them suffer from the unstable and/or soluble nature organic molecules, showing limited cycle life (≤3000 cycles) that is far away requirement (10 000 grid‐scale Here, new zinc battery proposed by using sulfur heterocyclic quinone dibenzo[b,i]thianthrene‐5,7,12,14‐tetraone (DTT) cathode. cell shows high reversible capacity 210.9 mAh g DTT −1...

Zn–organic batteries are attracting extensive attention, but their energy density is limited by the low capacity (<400 mAh g–1) and potential (<1 V vs Zn/Zn2+) of organic cathodes. Herein, we propose a long-life high-rate battery that includes poly(1,5-naphthalenediamine) cathode Zn anode in an alkaline electrolyte, where reaction based on coordination between K+ C═N group (i.e., C═N/C–N–K conversion).

It is essential to create organic compounds that exhibit circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in the near-infrared (NIR) range. Helicene-type emitters possess appealing chiroptical features, however, such NIR molecules are scarce due a paucity of synthetic strategies.

Chiral binaphthols (BINOL)-metal combinations serve as powerful catalysts in asymmetric synthesis. Their chiral induction mode, however, typically relies on multifarious non-covalent interactions between the substrate and BINOL ligand. In this work, we demonstrate that chiral-at-metal stereoinduction mode could an alternative mechanism for BINOL-metal catalysis, based mechanistic studies of BINOL-aluminum-catalyzed hydroboration heteroaryl ketones.
