Li-Carboxylate Anode Structure-Property Relationships from Molecular Modeling
TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary molecular density-functional theory (DFT) study was performed on carboxylates for Li-ion anode materials based on their observed thermal stability, rate capability, and high cyclability.

Increasing the Gravimetric Energy Density of Organic Based Secondary Battery Cathodes Using Small Radius Cations (Li+ and Mg2+)
Kenneth Hernández-Burgos,Gabriel G. Rodríguez-Calero,Weidong Zhou,Stephen E. Burkhardt,Héctor D. Abruña +4 more
TL;DR: This work demonstrates how to increase the gravimetric energy density of electrical energy storage devices based on the use of organic materials through exploitation of the strong ionic coupling between a reduced carbonyl functionality and small cations such as lithium (Li(+)) and magnesium (Mg(2+)).

Near-Infrared Absorbing and Emitting RuII−PtII Heterodimetallic Complexes of Dpdpz (Dpdpz = 2,3-Di(2-pyridyl)-5,6-diphenylpyrazine)
TL;DR: These complexes exhibit substantial absorption in the visible to NIR (near-infrared) region because of mixed MLCT (metal-to-ligand-charge-tranfer) transitions from both the ruthenium and the platinum centers.

Mononuclear and Dinuclear Ruthenium Complexes of 2,3-Di-2-pyridyl-5,6-diphenylpyrazine: Synthesis and Spectroscopic and Electrochemical Studies
TL;DR: A new bridging ligand, 2,3-di-2-pyridyl-5,6-diphenylpyrazine (dpdpz), and its complexation with one or two ruthenium atoms, and its electronic coupling between the two metal centers are reported.

Poly(2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole) as a cathode for rechargeable lithium batteries with dramatically improved performance.
TL;DR: With improved cycling performance and very low cost, PDMcT could become a very promising cathode material when combined with a TEGDME-based electrolyte, emphasizing the importance of electrolyte chemistry when studying molecular-based battery materials.
