Your newly designed battery material does not show electrochemical activity? Have you tried turning it off and on again? We have. Using viologen zwitterions we could activate them with the electrolyte salt and generate an electroactive disalt with anion insertion. doi.org/10.1002/batt...

Working with pyrenetetraone (PTO) building blocks? Check out our new protective group strategy to facilitate their syntheses! As a joint venture with @DumeleLab, we present a simple solution to some preparative difficulties of using PTOs in functional materials. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
