In 2022,Chen, Zifeng; Su, Hai; Sun, Pengfei; Bai, Panxing; Yang, Jixing; Li, Mengjie; Deng, Yunfeng; Liu, Yang; Geng, Yanhou; Xu, Yunhua published an article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The title of the article was 《A nitroaromatic cathode with an ultrahigh energy density based on six-electron reaction per nitro group for lithium batteries》.Synthetic Route of C3H2O3 The author mentioned the following in the article:
Organic electrode materials have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional inorganic materials because of their structural diversity and environmental friendliness feature. However, their low energy densities, limited by the single-electron reaction per active group, have plagued the practical applications. Here, we report a nitroarom. cathode that performs a six-electron reaction per nitro group, drastically improving the specific capacity and energy d. compared with the organic electrodes based on single-electron reactions. Based on such a reaction mechanism, the organic cathode of 1,5-dinitronaphthalene demonstrates an ultrahigh specific capacity of 1,338 mAh·g-1 and energy d. of 3,273 Wh·kg-1, which surpass all existing organic cathodes. The reaction path was verified as a conversion from nitro to amino groups. Our findings open up a pathway, in terms of battery chem., for ultrahigh-energy-d. Li-organic batteries. In the experimental materials used by the author, we found Vinylene carbonate(cas: 872-36-6Synthetic Route of C3H2O3)
Vinylene carbonate(cas: 872-36-6) belongs to esters. Alkyl carbonates find applications as solvents for lithium ion battery electrolytes and the use of high quality battery grade electrolytes having extremely low water (<10 ppm) and acid (<10 ppm) contents are critical for achieving high electrochemical performance.Synthetic Route of C3H2O3
