The method for constructing C–S bonds is very important in organic synthesis. Here a new sulfenylation method to generate flavone thioether derivatives was developed by employing aromatic or alkyl halides, S powder and Na2S2O3 as reactants. Good yields of regioselective Calkyl–S and Caryl–S-substituted flavones were generated under relatively environmentally friendly and simple conditions. This method might be potentially applicable to large scale production, and it enriches current sulfenylation methods.
The selection and optimization of cathode materials are crucial for enhancing the performance of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. In this work, different active materials were created by combining Sulfur powder and polydopamine in four different mass ratios. The novel N-doped carbon/WS 2 is obtained. Thanks to the optimization of the dopamine-carrying tungsten ion precursor and Sulfur powder (1 : 2, 1 : 4, 1 : 6 and 1 : 8), the four samples exhibited different morphology. The N−C/WS 2 -6-based zinc ion batteries with the highest specific capacity, 120.0 mAh/g in the first discharge at 2.0 A/g, and 78.0 mAh/g after 2500 cycles, with a capacity retention of 65 %, had a relatively good overall performance, according to the results. The reaction kinetics characteristics of the N−C/WS 2 -6 cathode reveal that diffusion has a significant impact on the processes in the aqueous zinc ionic material N−C/WS 2 -6.
