Inside Back Cover: Synthesis and Electronic Structure of Boron-Graphdiyne with an sp-Hybridized Carbon Skeleton and Its Application in Sodium Storage (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 15/2018)
Graphical Abstract
A new class of boron-graphdiyne (BGDY) has been prepared by a bottom-up synthetic strategy. In their Communication on page 3968 ff., C. Huang, Y. Li, and co-workers show BGDY has a unique two-dimensional structure with highly-decorated molecular pores. The sp-hybridized carbon skeleton and evenly distributed boron heteroatoms can stabilize metal atoms intercalated in the BGDY framework. Thus, BGDY shows promising an electrochemical performance in sodium-ion half cells.
