Ionic covalent organic frameworks (ICOFs) have recently emerged as promising candidates for solid-state electrolytes. Herein, we report the first example of a series crystalline imidazolate-containing ICOFs single-ion conducting COF solid electrolyte materials, where lithium cations freely travel through intrinsic channels with outstanding ion conductivity (up to 7.2 × 10–3 S cm–1) and impressively low activation energy (as 0.10 eV). These properties are attributed weak Li ion–imidazolate...

Abstract All‐solid‐state lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are ideal for energy storage given their safety and long‐term stability. However, there is a limited availability of viable electrode active materials. Herein, we report truxenone‐based covalent organic framework (COF‐TRO) as cathode materials all‐solid‐state LIBs. The high‐density carbonyl groups combined with the ordered crystalline COF structure greatly facilitate via reversible redox reactions. As result, high specific capacity 268...

The electrochromic mechanism in amorphous tungsten oxide films is studied using Raman scattering measurements. spectra of as-deposited show two strong peaks at 770 and 950 cm−1 due to vibrations the W6+–O W6+=O bonds, respectively, a weaker peak 220 that we attribute W4+–O bonds. When lithium or hydrogen ions electrons are inserted, extra W5+–O W5+=O bonds appear 330 450 cm−1, respectively. Comparison sputtered isotopic a-W16O3−y a-W18O3−y confirms these assignments. We conclude contain...

We report on how electrochromic coloration is affected by oxygen deficient stoichiometries in sputtered amorphous tungsten oxide (a-WO3−y) films.

Furthermore, there are no peaks resulting from lithiated a-WO3−y films near perfect stoichiometry, which consistent absence those conclude depends and...
