Low cost aqueous batteries with organic electrode materials for renewable energy storage / Matériaux d'électrode organiques pour batterie aqueuse à bas coût pour le stockage des énergies renouvelablesPerticarari, Sofia 07 November 2018 (has links)
La gestion des sources renouvelables est probablement l'un des enjeux majeurs du 21ème siècle. La part croissante de ces ressources intermittentes et fluctuantes telles que les énergies solaires, éoliennes et marines connectées au réseau électrique requiert des systèmes de stockage efficaces pour sécuriser et réguler l'approvisionnement électrique. L'objectif principal de cette thèse est donc la création de batteries aqueuses écologiques et durables à base de matériaux organiques à faible coût. En particulier, ce projet avait pour but d’identifier des stratégies pour synthétiser, comprendre et modifier des matériaux redox idoines pour en optimiser les réactions électrochimiques et chimiques. De plus, cette technologie a nécessité une mise en oeuvre particulière de ces matériaux mettant en jeu des électrodes millimétriques jamais réalisées à ce jour. Une nouvelle famille de molécules redox de type p/n a été identifiée. Leur comportement électrochimique, rationalisés par de nombreuses caractérisations physiques, a mis en évidence l’échange simultané de cations et d’anions ce qui n’a jamais été montré dans le domaine des batteries. En outre ce matériau permet une cyclabilité remarquable notamment dans l’eau de mer. La synthèse et le comportement électrochimique de différents dérivés du TEMPO en tant que matériaux actifs d'électrode positive ont également été évalués. Sur la base de ces découvertes des résultats très encourageants ont été obtenus avec les batteries aqueuses organiques complètes composées d'électrodes millimétriques. / The management of renewable sources is probably one of the major issues of the 21st century. The increasing share of these intermittent and fluctuating sources such as solar, wind and marine energies connected to the electrical grid pushes towards the need for efficient storage systems to secure and regulate the supply of electricity. The main target of this thesis is therefore the creation of a low cost and sustainable full-organic aqueous cell. In particular, this project consisted in identifying strategies for synthesizing, understanding and modifying various organic redox materials to optimize their electrochemical and chemical behavior. In addition, the economic viability of this (new) technology required a particular implementation of organic materials according to industrially scalable processes, in millimeter thick electrodes ever made to date. As a result, a new p-/n-type redox active molecule and its electrochemical behavior in aqueous electrolyte has been presented. Further improvements have been achieved by modifying the previous compound into an oligomeric p-/n-type assembly which shows remarkable performance as cutting-edge negative electrode active material. This is the first redox material in the field of batteries able to exchange both anions and cations simultaneously. Extended cycling has been obtained in various electrolytes, including ocean water. The synthesis and the electrochemical behavior of different TEMPO derivatives as possible positive electrode active materials have been also evaluated. Finally, very encouraging results have been obtained by assembling full organic aqueous batteries composed of millimeter thick electrodes.

The Hydrolysis of Naphthalene DiimidesKim, Michelle B 06 August 2007 (has links)
The hydrolyses of naphthalene diimides (NDIs) bearing aliphatic side chains with N-methylpyrrolidinium groups placed two (1) and three (5) atoms from the central core were studied. The Ka values for the first and second hydrolyses for 1 were 2.5 ± 0.2 x 105 M-1 and 2.0 ± 0.1 x 102 M-1, respectively; for 5 they were 1.4 ± 0.1 x 105 M-1 and 44 ± 2 M-1, respectively. NDI 1 hydrolyzed 6.8 times faster than did 5. The rates for the first and second hydrolyses of 1 at 100 mM hydroxide measured by stopped-flow were 17.0 ± 0.2 s-1 and 53.0 ± 0.1 x 10-2 s-1, respectively. NMR showed both the syn and anti isomers of the diamide species. Syntheses of other derivatives are reported. Overall, this study shows that the rate of hydrolysis of NDIs is increased when the cationic charge is moved closer to the NDI core.

Advances in DNA binding by threading polyintercalationSmith, Amy Rhoden 24 February 2015 (has links)
Chemistry / Although molecules that bind DNA have the potential to modify gene expression, the reality of targeting DNA in a sequence-specific manner is still a problematic but worthwhile goal. The Iverson lab has been exploring DNA recognition through a motif known as threading polyintercalation based on connecting intercalating naphthalene diimide (NDI) units, which are molecules that insert themselves between DNA base pairs, together with peptide linkers. These polyintercalators interact with both DNA grooves by “threading” or winding through the DNA, like a snake might climb a ladder. Initially, two different bisintercalator modules with altered sequence specificities and different groove binding topologies were discovered and used to inspire the design of a hybrid NDI tetraintercalator. Surprisingly enough, this tetraintercalator bound sequence-specifically with a dissociation half-life of 16 days to its preferred 14 bp site, a record at the time it was reported for a synthetic DNA-binding molecule. The work reported here expands on the capabilities of this modular threading polyintercalation motif. Chapter 2 describes the ability of a new hybrid NDI tetraintercalator, where the bisintercalator modules are connected together in a different way compared to the previously studied tetraintercalator, to subtly discriminate between similar binding sites. Chapter 3 offers a structural understanding, through NMR analysis, for the sequence recognition abilities of this new tetraintercalator. Chapter 4 analyzes the binding abilities of an un-optimized NDI octaintercalator and proposes how to approach the second-generation design of longer polyintercalators. Chapter 5 describes the optimization of the originally designed NDI tetraintercalator by serially lengthening one of the linkers to produce a tetraintercalator with a 57 day dissociation half-life from its 14 bp sequence, a new record for a synthetic DNA-binding molecule. Using the optimized linker in the context of an NDI hexaintercalator allows for binding to a 22 bp designed site, a record for a synthetic non-nucleic acid molecule. Chapter 6 recounts a focused library screening to search for bisintercalators with new sequence specificities. These efforts have laid the groundwork to progress toward studies aimed at understanding how these molecules might function to prevent transcription in a sequence-dependent manner in vivo. / text

Novos materiais funcionais organo-híbridos baseados em óxidos metálicos e diimidas aromáticas / New hybrid functional materials based in metal oxides and aromatic diimidesChagas-Silva, Fatima Aparecida das 18 May 2012 (has links)
O uso e estudo de materiais híbridos para desenvolver novos materiais com qualidades superiores para aplicações em fotônica, sensores e áreas afins é um desafio para o químico. Neste contexto deve-se especular sobre as propriedades de associação de materiais orgânicos e inorgânicos para alcançar novas e melhores propriedades. Neste estudo, os óxidos metálicos (óxidos de cério em particular), uma classe especial entre nanopartículas inorgânicas, foram selecionados para explorar as suas aplicações com uma classe, também especial de compostos orgânicos, sendo no nosso estudo as Naftaleno Diimidas. Óxido de cério é um semicondutor, com uma “bandgap” larga, conhecido por sua capacidade catalítica e por sua simples manipulação para preparar filmes finos e nanopartículas. Derivados de Naftaleno Diimidas são conhecidos por sua superior atividade eletroquímica comparáveis aos dos Paraquat (metilviologênio), mas com amplitude maior de aplicações fotoquímicas. Foram sintetizadas Naftaleno Diimidas carregados positivamente e negativamente com propriedades surfactantes. Após a caracterização detalhada das Naftaleno Diimidas, incluindo auto-associação e interação com moléculas de surfactantes, a interação com nanopartículas de óxido de cério foram determinadas. As Naftaleno Diimidas interagiram de forma especial com nanopartículas de óxido de cério conferindo ausência de atividade hidrolítica e um comportamento fotocrômico singular. Propõe-se que o corante orgânico se adsorve nas ranhuras das nanopartículas e, além disso forma dímeros estáveis que têm importância para as novas fotoatividades observadas. / The use and study of hybrid materials is a challenge for the chemist to develop materials having new and superior qualities for applications in photonics, sensors and related areas. In this context one has to speculate on the properties of the organic and inorganic partners to achieve better and new properties. In this study the metal oxides (in particular Cerium Oxides), a special class among inorganic nanoparticles were selected to exploit their applications with an also special class of organic compounds the Naphthalene Diimides. Cerium Oxide is a wide bandgap semiconductor well known for its catalytic capabilities and for its simple manipulation to prepare thin films and nanoparticles. Naphthalene Diimides derivatives are known for their superior lectrochemical activities comparable to those of Paraquat (Methyl Viologen) but with larger amplitude of photochemical applications. Positively and negatively charged, surfactant like, Naphthalene Diimides, were synthesized. After detailed characterization of the Naphthalene Diimides including selfassociation and interaction with surfactant molecules, the interaction with Cerium Oxide nanoparticles was determined. Naphthalene Diimides interacted in a special manner with Cerium Oxide nanoparticles rendering hydrolytic inertness and novel photochromic behavior. The organic dye is proposed to adsorb in the crevices of the particles and furthermore forming stable dimers that accounts for the new photoactivities observed

Organic charge-transport materials based on oligothiophene and naphthalene diimide: towards ambipolar and air-stable n-channel organic field-effect transistorsPolander, Lauren E. 06 October 2011 (has links)
To better understand the physical and electronic properties of donor and acceptor-based structures used in organic electronic applications, a variety of oligothiophene and naphthalene diimide-based small conjugated molecules were designed, synthesized, and characterized. The materials were initially synthesized using oxidative copper-chloride coupling reactions, palladium-catalyzed amination reactions, Friedal-Crafts acylations, Negishi coupling reactions, and Stille coupling reactions. Once isolated, the physical properties of the compounds were characterized through a combination of X-ray crystal structure, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, UV-vis. absorption spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and differential pulse voltammetry, along with comparison to quantum-chemical calculations. In some cases, the radical cations or radical anions were generated by chemical oxidation and analyzed by vis-NIR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the electronic properties of the materials were investigated through incorporation as solution-processed active layers in organic field-effect transistors. Multiple examples exhibited hole- and / or electron-transport properties with electron mobility values of up to 1.5 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹, which is among the highest yet reported for an n-channel OFET based on a solution-processed small molecule.

Novel poly(propylene thiophenoimine)-co poly(ethylenedioxythiophene) composites of naphthalene diimide for applications in organic photovoltaic cellsYonkeu, Anne Lutgarde Djoumessi January 2013 (has links)
Magister Scientiae - MSc / Solar energy generation arises as a result of direct conversion of sunlight into electricity a by solar cell; which is mainly made up of a semiconducting material incorporated into a system. It is emerging as one of the most reliable and cost efficient renewable energy sources. Within the solar field, organic bulk heterojunction photovoltaic cells have proved of being able to have a great impact in the future years; mainly due to the easy processability of the active layer and substrate, their cost effectiveness and above all, a good power conversion efficiency associated to the close 3-dimensional interpenetrating network that is generated from blending donor and acceptor semiconducting materials together in a bulk heterojunction active layer. In this research work, we therefore report on the study of a newly developed organic bulk heterojunction active layer based on a blend of a star-copolymer generation 1 poly(propylenethiophenoimine)-co-poly(ethylenedioxythiophene) (G1PPT-co-PEDOT) as donor material with N,N-diisopropylnaphthalene diimide (NDI) as acceptor material. Both materials were chemically synthesized. The synthesis of G1PPT-co-PEDOT started first by
the functionalization of generation 1 poly(propyleneimine) tetramine, G1PPI into G1PPT by condensation reaction in the presence of 2-thiophene carboxaldehyde under Nitrogen gas followed by the copolymerization of G1PPT with ethylene dioxythiophene (EDOT) monomer in the presence of ammonium persulfate, (NH4)2S2O8 as oxidant. On the other hand, NDI was also synthesized via condensation reaction of 1,4,5,8-naphthalene tetracarboxylic dianhydride in the presence of two (2) equivalences of N,N-diisopropylamine at 110 oC overnight in
DMF. Both materials were characterized using FT-IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fluorescence spectroscopy, Voltammetry, HRSEM microscopy and XRD. Based on the cyclic voltammetry and UV-Vis results, we were able to calculate the HOMO, LUMO and band gap energy (Eg) values of both the donor and acceptor to be -4.03 eV, -6.287 eV and 2.25 eV for iii the donor G1PPT-co-PEDOT respectively and -4.302 eV, -7.572 eV and 3.27 eV for the acceptor respectively. From these results, the energy diagram for both donor and acceptor was drawn and it comes out that the separation between the HOMO of the donor and the LUMO of the acceptor ΔEg = 1.985 eV, the ideal value for a good donor-acceptor combination. Also the offset energy that is, the energy difference between the LUMO of the donor and the LUMO of the acceptor is 0.302 eV.
