Ramesh Jarupula, Saurabh Khodia, Muhammed Shabeeb and Surajit Maity

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2023,25, 17010-17020

Abstract

This article demonstrates experimental proof of excited state ‘solvent-to-chromophore’ proton transfer (ESPT) in the isolated gas phase PBI (2,2′-pyridylbenzimidazole)–CH₃OH complex, aided by computational calculations.

Inhibiting cathode dissolution and shuttling of V–O species using a polybenzimidazole hydrogel electrolyte for durable high-areal-capacity Zn–V₂O₅ batteries

Energy Environ. Sci., 2025,18, 762-773

Abstract

The PBI hydrogel electrolyte can reduce the amount of free water, minimize proton co-intercalation into the V₂O₅ host, and prevent the crosstalk of V₁₀O₂₆(OH)₂⁴⁻ between the anode and cathode to enable durable high-areal-capacity Zn–V₂O₅ batteries.
