Visible-Light Augmented Lithium Storage Capacity in a Ruthenium(II) Photosensitizer Conjugated with a Dione-Catechol Redox Couple

Controlling redox activity of judiciously appended redox units on a photo-sensitive molecular core is an effective strategy for visible light energy harvesting and storage. The first example of a photosensitizer - electron donor coordination compound in which the photoinduced electron transfer step is used for light to electrical energy conversion and storage is reported. A photo-responsive Ru-diimine module conjugated with redox-active catechol groups in [Ru(II)(phenanthroline-5,6-diolate)₃]⁴⁻ photosensitizer can mediate photoinduced catechol to dione oxidation in the presence of a sacrificial electron acceptor or at the surface of an electrode. Under potentiostatic condition, visible light triggered current density enhancement confirmed the light harvesting ability of this photosensitizer. Upon implementation in galvanostatic charge-discharge of a Li battery configuration, the storage capacity was found to be increased by 100 %, under 470 nm illumination with output power of 4.0 mW/cm⁻². This proof-of-concept molecular system marks an important milestone towards a new generation of molecular photo-rechargeable materials.

New directions in perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acid–based proton-exchange membranes

Perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acid (PFSA) polymer membranes have enabled a variety of electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices such as fuel cells and flow batteries and material conversion devices such as electrolyzers to produce hydrogen and chlorine. For decades, a small group of simple copolymers were relied on in these applications. The practical limits for conductivity through lower equivalent weight are being approached for these polymers. Recently, the community has recognized the need for new PFSA ionomers with properties tailored to the specific needs of each application. An emerging area of importance is the manipulation of the diffusion properties of these polymers. For example, fuel cell membranes need to maintain good barrier properties as thicknesses are reduced, while ionomers with increased oxygen diffusion rates are sought for fuel cell electrodes. In recent years, the class of PFSA ionomers has expanded to include new side chain structures, new comonomers, and even hydrocarbon hybrid structures.
