[0001] HYDROGEN SULFIDE TRAPPING COMPOUNDS, COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING THEM AND USES THEREOF RELATED APPLICATION The present application claims priority, under applicable law, from Canadian patent application number 3208448 filed on August 4, 2023, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and for all purposes. TECHNICAL FIELD This document relates to the field of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) trapping, compounds for doing so, compositions comprising them, coatings and methods for trapping H2S. The present application also relates to electrochemical cell elements comprising the H2S trappers. STATE OF THE ART Sulfur-based compounds are associated with problems related to their interfacial stability as well as their stability to ambient air and humidity.Specifically, these materials generate hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas upon contact with humid air and must therefore be prepared, assembled, and operated under an inert atmosphere. One strategy used to address this issue involves modifying these materials to make them more stable in ambient air, which can lead to a change in their properties or even a significant decrease in their performance. Another approach involves directly adding H2S traps, thereby improving the safety of the systems. This primarily involves incorporating inorganic H2S trapping materials into a support resin, thereby significantly increasing the weight and volume of the system. There is therefore a need for the development of H2S trapping compounds compatible with electrochemical systems, for example in the all-solid state.SUMMARY In some aspects, embodiments of the present technology comprise the following items: Item 1.

Example 2 – Coating of Li6PS5Cl ceramic particles by wet grinding a) Coating of sulfide electrolyte particles The coating of the Li6PS5Cl particles was carried out using a PULVERISETTE planetary micromill MC7. To begin, 4 g of Li6PS5Cl particles were placed in an 80 mL zirconium oxide (or zirconia) grinding jar. A mixture comprising 20 mL of anhydrous decane and 7 mL of farnesene or Compound 1 prepared in Example 1 (75:25 by volume) along with grinding balls with a diameter of 2 mm were added to the jar. The Li6PS5Cl particles and the mixture of decane and farnesene or Compound 1 were combined by grinding at a speed of about 300 rpm for about 7.5 hours to produce coated Li6PS5Cl particles. The resulting particles were subsequently dried under vacuum at a temperature of about 80°C. b) Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) Li6PS5Cl particles, uncoated, coated with farnesene or the H2S trapping organic molecule Compound 1 as described in Example 2(a) were characterized by TGA.Thermogravimetric curves for uncoated Li6PS5Cl solid sulfide electrolyte (curve 1), for Li6PS5Cl particles coated with a mixture of decane and farnesene (curve 2), and for Li6PS5Cl particles coated with a mixture of decane and Compound 1 (curve 3), as described in Example 2(a) are shown in Figure 1. Thermogravimetric analyses were performed at a temperature rise rate of 10 °C / min. Figure 1 shows that the mass loss occurs around 200 °C, the temperature at which the onset of thermal degradation can be observed. Figure 1 also shows a larger mass variation for the sample comprising Li6PS5Cl particles coated with Compound 1, an organic H2S trapping molecule given the presence of 3 farnesyls within this molecule.Nevertheless, the mass loss is much higher than 3 times compared to the mass loss for the farnesene-coated sample (curve 2), thus confirming a better coating of the sulfide electrolyte thanks to Compound 1. Example 3 – Preparation and characterization of H2S-trapping ceramic-organic molecule composite solid electrolyte films a) Preparation of H2S-trapping ceramic-organic molecule composite solid electrolyte films All manipulations were carried out in a glove box under an argon atmosphere (max: 0.1 ppm H2O; 0.1 ppm O2). Two sizes (average size about 3 μm and less than 1 μm) of uncoated inorganic solid electrolyte particles of the sulfide-based ceramic type (Li6PS5Cl) were mixed in a mass proportion of 90:10 using a vortex.The binder is formed from a 40 / 60 mass blend of (a) Polymer 1 at 4.0 wt% 4,4'-thiobisbenzenethiol (TBT) and (b) 1,1'-hexamethylene bis(1-methylpyrrolidinium) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide dissolved in dichloromethane. Polymer 1 is a four-armed star-shaped multi-branch polyether polymer comprising crosslinkable units at the ends of the branches as described in U.S. Patent No. 7,897,674. For the electrolyte films containing the organic H2S trapping molecule (Compound 1), this molecule was added directly to the binder mixture in a proportion of 5% (Film 2), 10% (Film 3) and 15% (Film 4) in mass % vs. sulfide ceramic. Film 1 does not contain an organic H2S trapping molecule for reference. The weight ratio of sulfide to binder was 90 / 10 by mass. The amount of dichloromethane was adjusted to obtain a mixture with an appropriate viscosity.The resulting mixture was coated onto a previously degreased aluminum foil. The film was dried in a glove box. Other films were also prepared using the procedure below and using other compounds as organic H2S trapping molecules. The composition of the different films is summarized in Table 1. Table 1. Composition of the F films. ilm Composé ( % a Binder Ceramic Mass ratio: ceramic: binder BT) and 1,1'-hexamethylene bis(1-methylpyrrolidinium) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide; c. Li6PS5Cl: 90 / 10 particles with an average diameter of ^3 μm / <1 μm. b) Ionic conductivity of polymer-ceramic hybrid solid electrolyte films Pellets of 10 mm diameter were taken from the ceramic composite solid electrolyte films prepared in Example 3(a). The pellets were then placed in a 10 mm diameter mold and compressed under a pressure of 2.8 tons using a press. The pellets were then placed in a conductivity cell at a pressure of 5 MPa closed under an inert argon atmosphere.The configuration of each cell is shown as follows: Cell 1 (Reference): Electrode / Film 1 / Electrode Cell 2: Electrode / Film 2 / Electrode Cell 3: Electrode / Film 3 / Electrode Cell 4: Electrode / Film 4 / Electrode Cell 5: Electrode / Film 5 / Electrode Cell 6: Electrode / Film 6 / Electrode Cell 7: Electrode / Film 7 / Electrode Cell 8: Electrode / Film 8 / Electrode Cell 9: Electrode / Film 9 / Electrode Cell 10: Electrode / Film 10 / Electrode Cell 11: Electrode / Film 11 / Electrode Cell 12: Electrode / Film 12 / Electrode Cell 13: Electrode / Film 13 / Electrode Ionic conductivity measurements of the cells assembled in this example were carried out with a VMP-300 multichannel potentiostat (Bio-Logic. MC). The measurements were carried out over a frequency range from 7 MHz to 200 mHz under an amplitude of 50 mV in a temperature range from -10°C to 70°C in ramp-up (every 10°C) and from 70°C to 20°C in ramp-down (every 10°C). The impedance measurements were obtained after a stabilization of approximately one hour. Two impedance measurements were recorded at each temperature with 15 minutes between each measurement. Figure 2(a) presents the results of ionic conductivity measured as a function of temperature for Cells 1 (■), 2 (▲), 3 (●), 4 (♦). The results of ionic conductivity measured as a function of temperature are presented in Figure 2(b) to 2(j) for Cells 5 to 13, respectively.The interaction between the ionic plastic salt and sulfide-based ceramics (such as Li6PS5Cl) as well as the positive effect of the creep of the ionic plastic salt on the density of the resulting film and on its ionic conductivity results in an increase in the ionic conductivity after creep at 70°C. The ionic conductivity of the ceramic-organic H2S trapping molecule composite solid electrolyte films is substantially identical to that obtained for an inorganic solid electrolyte film of sulfide-based ceramic type (Li6PS5Cl) without this molecule. A slight improvement in the ionic conductivity can be noted in the presence of the organic molecule, confirming the privileged interaction between this molecule and the sulfide, as for the result obtained in Example 2. Thus, the incorporation of the organic H2S trapping molecule does not disturb the electrochemical performances and it is possible to incorporate it in several ways.For example, it is possible to coat the particles with this substance (Example 2), or add it directly into a predefined mixture (Example 3). Example 4 – Generation of H2S upon exposure of inorganic compounds with an argyrodite-type structure to air Safety tests were carried out to evaluate the impact of the addition of organic H2S-trapping molecule on H2S generation. 10 mm diameter pellets of the films prepared as in Example 3(a), without compression, after compression and after compression and heat treatment at 70°C under argon were placed in a sealed cell under an inert atmosphere. An air flow was then introduced into the sealed cell at a flow rate of approximately 0.3 L / min, at a controlled temperature of approximately 24.5 °C (± 0.5 °C) and at a controlled hygrometry with a humidity level of 50% (± 5%).The concentration of generated H2S gas was measured approximately every 15 seconds with a multigas detector (MSA ALTAIR. MC5X) previously calibrated and placed at the outlet of the cell. From these data, the volume of H2S gas generated normalized by the mass of argyrodite was calculated. The results of these analyses are presented in Figure 3(a), which shows a plot of the volume of H2S gas generated per gram of sulfide powder (mL / g) versus time in hours for Films 1, 2 (5% by mass of Compound 1 vs. sulfide), 3 (10% by mass of Compound 1 vs. sulfide), and 4 (15% by mass of Compound 1 vs. sulfide) without compression (dashed-dashed line), after compression at 2.8T (dashed-dot-dashed line), and after compression at 2.8T and heat treatment at 70°C (solid line). Figures 3(b) and 3(c) present the results obtained for Movies 5 to 9 and 10 to 13, respectively, in comparison with Movie 1.It is possible to observe that an electrolyte film without compression generates more H2S than a compressed film, and even more than a film compressed and densified by heat treatment since the porosity of the films decreases with these different treatments. The densification of the film by compression and heat treatment is maximum and its porosity minimal. Before compression, the addition of H2S trapping organic molecule increases the generation of H2S because this organic molecule is in the liquid state and therefore induces more porosity within the electrolyte film and therefore more developed surface area that can generate H2S. This confirms the incorporation of the organic molecule. After compression at 2.8T, the porosity of the electrolyte films is reduced and it is then possible to study the effect of the addition of the H2S trapping organic molecule.The generation of H2S is significantly reduced with the addition of the organic H2S trapping molecule, increasing after one hour from 42 mL / g of sulfide without molecule to 33, 30 and 28 mL / g of H2S for 5%, 10% and 15% by mass of organic H2S trapping molecule, respectively. Thus, the addition of the H2S trapping molecule directly within the sulfide-based electrolyte film significantly reduces the generation of H2S and improves the safety of the said system. After compression at 2.8T and treatment at 70°C, and therefore a more marked reduction in the porosity of the electrolyte film, the generation of H2S is again reduced by the addition of the organic H2S trapping molecule. Thus, the organic H2S trapping molecule is preserved following the heat treatment and provides protection from H2S emissions. Depending on the molecules, these decreases are more or less marked. The results confirm that each molecule traps H2S well.The optimal amount of trapping molecule depends on the sulfide ceramic and therefore its proportion to generate H2S, the residual porosity of the shaping and the trapping proportion of each trapping molecule. Concentration adjustments could be made based on these elements for each compound. Several modifications could be made to any of the embodiments described above without departing from the scope of the present invention as envisaged.
