“…The diverse structural design, self-assembly mechanism, facile functionalization, and intelligent responses are the main research contents for a scientist of adamantyl guest polymers self-assembly. [9,27] Telechelic polymers are end-functional polymers containing reactive end groups and can be either homotelechelic (same functional groups at both chain-ends) or hetero-telechelic (different chain-ends) polymers, which would be used as chain extenders, crosslinkers, and building blocks for various macromolecular structures as well as block and graft copolymers, star, hyperbranched or dendritic polymers. [28] RAFT polymerization as a unique controlled/living technology, enables the synthesis of polymeric architectures representing programmable molecular weight, low molecular weight dispersity and high end-group fidelity.…”

Self‐assembly and supramolecular inclusion complexations between telechelic polymers bearing one or double adamantane groups and linear poly(β‐cyclodextrin) (P(β‐CD)) were investigated in water. An adamantane (Ada) attached to poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) was prepared by reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization using s‐1‐dodecyl‐s″ ‐(α,α′‐dimethyl‐α″‐acetic acid) trithio‐carbonate functionalized Ada with tert‐butyl acrylate, followed by functional modification. Additionally, two Ada groups capped triblock copolymer F127 were obtained via an esterification reaction. The dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscope and 1H 2D NOSEY NMR spectroscopy were conducted to characterize the self‐assembly behaviors. With the inclusion complexation of Ada/CD in 1:1 M ratio in water, the spherical micelles were enlarged at 25°C than that of the adamantyl polymer precursors. Due to the PPO segment of Ada‐F127‐Ada, the micelles aggregation showed temperature dependence from 4 to 37°C for precursor and corresponding inclusion complexation; while in Ada‐PAA/P(β‐CD) system, the hydrodynamic diameters decreased with pH decreasing.

“…We find that diamond-templated assembly can suppress lithium-anion coordination and enhance lithium mobility in solid organic electrolytes. Specifically, we show that functionalization of imidazolium cations with diamondoids, which readily self-assemble into strong van der Waals contact pairs without incurring conformational entropy penalties, [32][33][34] significantly modifies electrolyte nanostructure as compared to conventional alkyl groups that are often used in organic salts. Surprisingly, the presence of these structure-directing groups causes only small changes to the overall lithium solubility of organic salt-lithium salt blends relative to short alkyl groups, while at the same time significantly transforming lithium coordination and mobility in manners that should strongly favor use of these materials as battery electrolytes.…”

As large-scale lithium-ion battery deployment accelerates, continued use of flammable organic electrolytes exacerbate issues associated with battery fires during operation and disposal. While ionic liquid-derived electrolytes promise safe, nonflammable alternatives to carbonate electrolytes, use of ionic liquids in batteries is hindered by poor lithium transport due to formation of long-lived lithium-anion complexes. We report the design and characterization of novel ionic liquid-inspired organic electrolytes that leverage unique self-assembly properties of molecular diamond templates, called “diamondoids.” Combining thermodynamic characterization, vibrational and magnetic spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray analysis, we determine that diamondoid-functionalized cations can facilitate formation of molecularly porous phases that resist restructuring upon dissolution of lithium salts. These electrolytes can suppress lithium-anion coordination, manifesting in substantially enhanced lithium-ion mobility in the organic ion matrix. Our results provide a new paradigm for enhancing lithium mobility in solid electrolytes by tuning entropic self-assembly to enhance organic cation-anion interactions, suppress lithium-anion coordination, and increase lithium mobility in solid electrolytes.
