However, “water-in-LiTFSI” exhibits ultra-high cost and low ionic transport when compared with the aqueous lithium-halide, -nitrate as well as -sulphate salts (quoted as LiX). This work rediscovered the properties of a “water-in-salt” (LiX electrolytes) made from a variety of concentration from 1 m to saturated conditions. The changes of physical properties <em>e.g.</em>, viscosity, pH, conductivity, density, and temperature during mixing were then reported. The electrochemical properties of electrolyte were tested using carbon-based materials (YEC-8A) as a model system (three electrode configuration), and the finding was then expanded to a coin cell supercapacitor for benchmarking the performance per cost unit. It has been found that the use of highly concentrated LiX electrolytes does not always enhance the potential window. LiBr and LiI shown the redox properties while increasing the concentration can speed up the redox process (voltage remains unchanged). Using superconcentrated LiCl can slightly expand the potential window; however, corrosion is the main task to be addressed. Besides, voltage expansion of LiNO<sub>3</sub> is found to be approximately 2.2 V, which is comparable to LiTFSI. The breakdown cost of the electrolyte also shows that LiTFSI exhibits the lowest energy density per cost unit (dollars), while LiNO<sub>3</sub> provides the most feasible cost in term of power density. We then marked that the electrolytes such as LiBr and LiI can be used as redox additive electrolytes.

Low-temperature direct ammonia fuel cells (DAFCs) represent a highly promising pathway for the efficient utilization of ammonia energy. However, the sluggish kinetics of the low-temperature ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR), requires high loading of platinum-group metals (PGMs) catalysts, and their poisoning significantly hampers the performance of DAFCs, thereby limiting their large-scale commercial application. Therefore, it is crucial to design efficient, cost-effective, and stable catalysts. In this work, a detailed review of recent research efforts aimed at elucidating the mechanism underlying the AOR is presented. Building on this knowledge base, progress in the design and synthesis of both PGM and PGM-free catalysts for the AOR is discussed, as well as membrane electrode assembly (MEA) preparation processes for DAFCs. Furthermore, the results of the performance evaluation of AOR catalysts in single-cell tests are summarized. Finally, based on our findings from this research area thus far, potential design strategies for AOR catalysts that can promote the rapid development of low temperatures DAFCs are proposed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":66474,"journal":{"name":"Green Chemical Engineering","volume":"6 1","pages":"Pages 54-67"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141403872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DESs, known for their environmentally friendly properties, have become crucial in extracting various natural products from plants, including micromolecules, lignin, and polysaccharides. Research into the extraction mechanism reveals that target compounds typically form hydrogen bonds with DESs, effectively becoming part of the solvent system. This insight has led to the development of the DESys extraction method, where hydrogen bond acceptors (HBAs) and hydrogen bond donors (HBDs) are directly mixed with the sample to form a DESys containing the target compounds. The shift from DES-based extraction to DESys-based extraction introduces innovative approaches where target compounds are integral to the solvent system, allowing for one-step dissolution and extraction. This methodology eliminates the need for pre-prepared DESs, simplifying processes and enhancing extraction efficiency. Additionally, strategies for DESs recycling and reuse contribute to sustainability efforts, offering cost-effective and environmentally friendly extraction solutions. The expanding applications of DES-based and DESys-based natural product extraction in cosmetics, food, industry, and environmental fields highlight their promising development potential.
