Rechargeable solid-state sodium-ion batteries (SSSBs) hold great promise for safer and more energy-dense energy storage. However, the poor electrochemical stability between current sulfide-based solid electrolytes and high-voltage oxide cathodes has limited their long-term cycling performance and practicality. Here, we report

Some binary and ternary novel complexes of dioxouranium(VI) with 5-vinylsalicylaldehyde (VSH) have been prepared and characterized by various physico-chemical techniques. The amine exchange reactions of coordinated poly-Schiff bases in these complexes have been also carried out which give symmetrical tetradentate
