Structure and thermal stability of phosphorus-iodonium ylids (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Greener, A., P. Argent, S., Clarke, C., & L. O'Duill, M. Structure and thermal stability of phosphorus-iodonium ylids

Hypervalent iodine(III) reagents have become indispensable tools in organic synthesis, but gaps remain in the functionalities they can transfer. In this study, a fundamental understanding of the thermal stability of phosphorus-iodonium ylids is obtai... Read More about Structure and thermal stability of phosphorus-iodonium ylids.

Singlet oxygen is not the main source of electrolyte degradation in lithium–oxygen batteries (2024)
Journal Article
Zor, C., Jones, K. D., Rees, G. J., Yang, S., Pateman, A., Gao, X., Johnson, L. R., & Bruce, P. G. (2024). Singlet oxygen is not the main source of electrolyte degradation in lithium–oxygen batteries. Energy and Environmental Science, 17(19), 7355-7361. https://doi.org/10.1039/d4ee02176b

The lithium–air (oxygen) battery could offer significant improvements in gravimetric energy density compared to lithium-ion technology. A major barrier to realising this goal is the oxidative degradation of the electrolyte solution and the carbon at...
