Abstract: The design of electrochemically responsive halogen donors in redox-active polymer for switchable electrosorption and release of anions. A redox-active group such as ferrocene acts as an electron-withdrawing group, facilitating the delocalization of the electrons on the halogen atom. Upon the oxidation of the ferrocene moiety, the halogen atom forms a partial-positive charge (σ-hole) on the elongation of the C—I bond, resulting in strong binding with anions in cooperation with the hydrogen bonds on the cyclopentadienyl ring on the oxidized ferrocene. During reduction of ferrocene, halogen bonding is deactivated, releasing the bound anions reversibly.

Abstract: A redox-functionalized photoelectrode includes (a) a photoactive structure comprising a semiconductor and (b) a redox polymer coated on the photoactive structure, where a valence band potential of the semiconductor is more positive than a redox potential of the redox polymer. A photoelectrochemical method for separating targeted ionic species from a liquid includes exposing a redox-functionalized photoelectrode, which includes a photoactive structure comprising a semiconductor and a redox polymer comprising a redox-active group coated on the photoactive structure, to a liquid to be treated. During the exposure, the redox-functionalized photoelectrode is illuminated with light having a wavelength greater than a bandgap of the semiconductor. Oxidation of the redox-active group occurs, and targeted ionic species are removed from the liquid by adsorption onto the redox polymer.

Abstract: Rare earth elements (REEs) play an essential role in our modern society, being critical resources for the growing electronic devices and renewable energy technologies. For the reversible capture and release of REEs, we designed and synthesized a redox-copolymer poly(ferrocenylpropyl methacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (P(FPMAm-co-MAA)) that combines an ion-exchange carboxylic acid group for REE adsorption, and an redox-active ferrocene moiety for electrochemical regeneration. By molecularly tuning the copolymer composition, efficient adsorption uptake could be achieved alongside electrochemically regenerated adsorbent reuse. The copolymer sorbent showed stoichiometric binding for yttrium (Y), cerium (Ce), neodymium (Nd), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), and dysprosium (Dy) based on carboxylic acid active site.

Abstract: Herein disclosed is a new electrochemical approach to catalyst capture and recycling that overcomes conventional industrial recovery methods using functionalized redox-polymer electrodes. This technology provides a redox electro-separation system comprising polyvinylferrocene that was able to capture platinum group metal based catalysts directly from products and transfer to fresh reactants achieving 99.5% recovery without disturbing catalyst activity. Several reactions were tested along with various solvent-electrolyte matrices, showing >99% recovery efficiencies for platinum species as low as 1.6 ppm.

Abstract: Chiral redox-polymers that have been enabled for electrochemically-controlled enantioselective interactions. Supramolecular chirality was leveraged for enhancing recognition toward target enantiomers. Chiral redox-metallopolymers were synthesized based on Ugi's amine-inspired chiral monomers, and their enantioselective recognition toward ionic enantiomers, such as tryptophan and naproxen, is demonstrated, with higher enhancement provided by a chiral redox-polymer over a single-site, chiral building block. 2D nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and solid-state circular dichroism support supramolecular chirality resulting from the intramolecular interaction between the ferrocene and the alkyl group in the backbone. The chiral redox-metallopolymers can be used as a platform for electrochemically-modulated enantioselective interactions toward a range of amino acids and pharmaceutical carboxylates.
