Our latest work on two-electron redox chemistry with nickel complexes was published in Chemical Communications. https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2025/cc/d4cc06547f
This work uses Ni(II/0) redox couples associated with nickel bis(diphosphine) complexes to show that we can easily change the redox cycle from a sequential one-electron redox cycle to a concerted two-electron redox cycle with the appropriate choice of diphosphine ligand and available anions in the electrolyte. Overall, a concerted two-electron redox cycle is shown to be more stable and occur at a more negative redox potential when the molecule is used as an anolyte (negolyte) in an RFB. We are very excited for the future directions of this work.
