Out now in Chem by Cell Press 🔋 This new work from Clare Grey's group at the University of Cambridge describes a practical, low cost methodology for probing a variety of chemical signals related to the state of health and state of charge for TEMPO-based redox flow batteries. This method involves simple pH testing and bulk magnetic susceptibility measurements, paving the path forward for practical real-time monitoring of battery health.

Chem’s April issue is up now! There’s so much fantastic work in this issue, but we’re particularly excited to highlight this month’s cover from the Murakami and Hirano groups at Kwansei Gakuin University and Kyoto Prefectural University. Their work described the derivatization of quaternary ammonium salts via photoredox catalysis for use in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and a class of ammonium salts capable of conferring salinity tolerance to plants 🪴. Here’s what they had to say about their cover and how it relates to the article: “On the cover: This month's cover illustrates how quaternary ammonium salts, synthesized through a pair of switchable reactions by Kinoshita et al., address soil salinity by conferring salt tolerance to plants. In the top right, an α-ammonio radical undergoes a reaction to form ammonium salts. These salts help promote the growth of plant roots and leaves in adverse saline environments.” Other highlights from this issue include work from the Toste group at Berkeley on probing enantioinduction through the study of a supramolecular host species, a piece from the Strasser group at Technical University Berlin on optimizing electrolytes for hydrogen peroxide synthesis with a gas diffusion electrode, the discovery of a bimetallic nickel gallylene species capable of semihydrogenating alkynes by the Hadlington group at TU München, the utilization of MOFs for the purification of drinking water via removing chlorite and chlorate by the Rojas and Horcajada groups at IMDEA, an article from the Credi group on the light driven ratcheted self-assembly of cyclodextrins and azobenzene units, and a study on the use of ultrasound to achieve near-nucleotide precision in scission of bonds in DNA. You can see the first pages of these below and read all of these in full plus so much more here: https://lnkd.in/ekwXRW8Q
