We discovered dissolution as a general & primary degradation path (~80%) for 2D MOFs in energy storage devices. Arresting it enables 100k+cycle/1500+h stable performances. Caution on using Swagelok cells with lots of electrolyte! @TianyangChen7 @JinhuDou

Beggining to peel away at what makes MOFs better supercaps: distancing the layers with alkyl groups helps! Now out in @angew_chem from Alice Su and collaborators in the Vlad group at UC Louvain:

Thrilled to see this nice commentary article "Opening the Door to New Design Rules for Rechargeable Battery Materials" https://t.co/8qURs0BwYl from the Prieto lab on my recent work with @HarishBanda3 that we conducted at @DincaGroupMIT
pubs.acs.org
A metal-free organic cathode material is described that has high energy storage capacity, can be charged quickly, and has excellent cycle life.

Chemists have developed a battery cathode based on organic materials, which could cut the EV industry’s reliance on scarce metals with high financial, environmental, and social costs. “I think this material could have a big impact,” says Mircea Dincă. https://t.co/HSJPy3vQ51

@ACSCentSci @Lamborghini @TianyangChen7 @HarishBanda3 @Jules_Oppenheim and the MIT News front page on this!

An MIT battery material could offer a more sustainable way to power electric cars. The lithium-ion battery includes a cathode based on organic materials, instead of cobalt or nickel.

Here's to a battery that doesn't need cobalt, nickel, or phosphate, stores just as much energy, and is probably longer-lived and safer! Open access in @ACSCentSci and funded by @Lamborghini Fantastic work by @TianyangChen7 @HarishBanda3 @Jules_Oppenheim

Glad to see this work get published. Organic materials truly hold the key to sustainable batteries! Congratulations @TianyangChen7 @DincaGroupMIT
To make batteries more sustainable and to reduce costs, carmakers are trying new strategies. Now, researchers report an organic cathode material with performance that matches state-of-the-art lithium-ion cathodes: https://t.co/u9YLNI8i7J

Thrilled to see C&EN highlighted my PhD work with @HarishBanda3 in @DincaGroupMIT , where we utilize a semiconducting and highly insoluble organic molecular material for cathode of Li-ion batteries. Really competitive metrics at the electrode level are achieved!

Excited to see our work in the front cover of @J_A_C_S ! Led by our postdoc, Dr. Dmitri Cordova, we found ways to synthetically control and direct the crystallization of quasi-1D van der Waals nanocrystals into optically-active nanowires and nanosheets.
The latest issue of JACS is live! On the cover this week, the authors report the directed crystallization of a model q-1D vdW phase, Sb2S3, into dimensionally resolved nanostructures. @MaxxSolidChem Learn more here ➡️ https://t.co/8b2iXhlYmI

Organic cathode materials have been questioned for a long time about their practicability due to low conductivity (thus need a lot of carbon in the electrode) and dissolution during cycling. Our cathode overcomes these limitations and can complete with commercial cathodes.
Game-changing organic Li-ion cathodes that compete with commercial inorganic cathodes in all relevant metrics: https://t.co/Zhg8yHRCkq High power, long-lasting, and should be safer too! Thanks @Lamborghini for supporting us! @TianyangChen7 @HarishBanda3 @Jules_Oppenheim

Energy storage can be fast AND high in capacities. An organic molecule packs and acts like a 2D material, enabling exceptional properties. More results, and more possibilities, beyond aqueous systems are on the way. Working with @TianyangChen7 was a delight!!
