Porous aromatic framework (PAF) microporosity is known to be strongly dependent on synthetic approach but little about why certain reactions yield significantly and consistently more porous PAFs. This article explores the connections between pathway, PAF defectivity, microporosity. Using a network disassembly strategy, we show that defectivity highly defective PAFs are associated with lower surface areas pore volumes. empirical association corroborated through systematic introduction of...
Porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) are attractive materials for applications where high surface area and material stability govern performance. Most of the highest PAFs synthesized using poorly scalable costly methods involving super-stoichiometric bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)Nickel(0) (Ni(COD)2). This communication describes a general approach synthesis that does not use isolated Ni(COD)2. The method is to at least seven microporous polymers can be conducted on gram scales without an inert...

This paper explores the connections between pathway, polymer defectivity, and microporosity.

A series of redox active species were synthesized and assessed for their potential use in nonaqueous flow batteries (RFBs). The building blocks these compounds consist electron donor groups D acceptor A, which are capable undergoing highly reversible electrochemical oxidation reduction, respectively. Different combinations donors acceptors, such as x -A y , -A -D give rise to a myriad derivatives with distinct properties. donor/acceptor systems exist at least three stable states during RFB...
The introduction of renewable energy generation sources onto the electrical grid is critically dependent on development reliable, inexpensive storage technology. Redox flow batteries (RFBs) may offer a solution, but many issues remain. For example, aqueous systems are limited in cell voltage owing to accessible potential window water. While other electrochemically useful solvents could provide larger window, their cost and durability have been problematic. Moreover, need for an ion-exchange...
The introduction of renewable energy generation sources onto the electrical grid is critically dependent on development reliable, inexpensive storage technology. Redox flow batteries (RFBs) may offer a solution, but many issues remain. For example, aqueous systems are only capable relatively low cell voltages owing to limited accessible potential window water. While other electrochemically useful solvents could provide larger window, their cost and durability have been problematic. Moreover,...
In recent years, many improvements have been made in renewable energy technologies, allowing them to outcompete fossil fuels terms of the cost-efficiency production. However, biggest challenge implementation energies is matching production consumption. an effort bridge this gap, there has significant academic and commercial focus on storage with redox flow batteries being particular interest. Organic nonaqueous provide several over traditional batteries. These include higher accessible cell...
