The performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) hinges on the surface properties of their anodes. Compared to the bulk material, the anode surface is more susceptible to environmental changes during lithium (Li) intake and release, directly impacting factors like capacity, cycling stability, and charge/discharge rates. Lithium germanate (Li2GeO3, LGO) has emerged as a promising anode material due to its fast Li-ion conduction. While numerous studies have explored performance improvements through various methods, including defect engineering. However, there is currently a lack of atomistic-level understanding of the surface structure. Consequently, despite the importance of precisely understanding the surface to manipulate its different properties, specific surface details of LGO remain unclear. This knowledge gap hinders precise manipulation of surface properties for optimal performance.This study addresses this critical need by employing theoretical calculations to predict the structural, electrochemical characteristics, and Li-ion transport behavior in LGO surfaces. Our results indicate that polar surfaces exhibit lower formation energies compared to non-polar surfaces. Further investigation revealed that Li-terminated surfaces possess the lowest surface energy among various surface terminations. Interestingly, the work function calculations displayed an opposite trend to surface formation energy, with polar surfaces exhibiting the lowest work function values.To explore Li-ion transport, we employed ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Notably, the (003) surface displayed the highest Li-ion diffusion rate among all considered surfaces.Further analysis of the (001) surface, which exhibited similar diffusion pathways to the (003) surface, revealed a lower diffusion rate.To understand this disparity, nudged elastic band (NEB) simulations were used to estimate the energy barriers for Li-ion migration along each pathway in both structures. Despite sharing similar pathways, the energy barriers in the (003) surface were significantly lower than those in the (001) surface. This finding suggests that the intrinsic energy landscape of the surface plays a crucial role in dictating Li-ion transport behavior.

The structure and electronic composition of potassium polytitanate (PPT) powders and the product of their chemical treatment (modification) in the aqueous solution of ferric sulfate (PPT/Fe) have been studied. It has been shown that PPT and PPT/Fe powders consist of X-ray amorphous conglomerates of nano- and submicrosized particles. Further heat treatment of PPT/Fe at 900 °C leads to the formation of a solid solution K1.5Fe1.5Ti6.5O16, which has a hollandite-like crystalline structure. Quantitative characteristics of the local atomic structure of iron ions in the structure of the obtained compounds have been established. Based on the data of Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XANES and EXAFS analyses of Fe K-edge spectra, the mechanism of physico-chemical processes accompanying the PPT particles modification with aqueous solutions of iron (III) salts and their subsequent heat treatment in order to obtain desired functional compounds has been proposed. It has been established that iron and titanium ions consistently change their valence state during the chemical and thermal treatment. The mechanism of structural transformations in the investigated system has been analyzed.

The structural damages caused to some layered hydrated minerals by 2.5 MeV electron irradiation using the SIRIUS platform were studied by powder X-Ray diffraction and, in some cases, by 1H MAS-NMR spectroscopy. It is clearly demonstrated that the radiation damages are distinguishable from the heating effects. It is shown that: i) in all cases electron irradiation leads to distortions of the unit cell and very limited volume expansion, compared to heating; ii) radiation damages increase with increasing the structural complexity of the mineral; iii) portlandite Ca(OH)2 and brucite Mg(OH)2 remain crystalline up to high doses (a few GGy), with appearance of stacking fault disorder especially in brucite; iv) brushite CaHPO4.2H2O and gypsum CaSO4.2H2O undergo a phase transformation of type amorphization for brushite involving the strongest intralayer H bond between the acidic proton and the phosphate tetrahedral, and decomposition for gypsum involving interlayer H bonds between water molecules.

To obtain metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that are more suitable for applications in liquid chromatography separation, the synthesis of spherical MOF particles of micrometer size is of great importance. Herein, by using an in situ hydrolysis strategy, the reactions of zirconium tetrachloride with terephthalonitrile under optimized water content and temperature give rise to Zr(IV)-carboxylic amorphous metal-organic frameworks (aMOFs) with spherical shapes at the micrometer scale. The aMOF particles can be used as a matrix to fabricate a chiral stationary phase (CSP) after coating cellulose derivative, cellulose-tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC), on it. The resulting CSP, namely, CDMPC@aMOF, was further applied to separate enantiomers under high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that six racemic compounds, including metalaxyl, prothioconazole, trans-stilbene oxide, 1-(1-naphthalenyl)ethanol, 1-phenylethanol and atropine sulfate, were well separated by a CDMPC@aMOF packed column.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are widely used for gaseous radioiodine capture through distinctive properties. Herein, 2D fluorinated imine COF (JLNU-316) was designed and constructed in this study. JLNU-316 exhibited large BET surface area of 596.25 mg2/g and pore size (2.74 and 3.78 nm), excellent thermal and chemical stability. The adsorption of iodine by JLNU-316 reached 4.08 g/g, which exceeded most of the current fluorine-containing porous iodine adsorption materials. Furthermore, the iodine adsorption capacity remains at 99 % after seven days of exposure to air conditions, and JLNU-316 maintains stable performance following ten cycles. The introduction of heteroatoms enhanced the stability of JLNU-316 and enriched the adsorption sites, thereby increasing the iodine adsorption capacity. This study guides for the design and preparation of novel iodine adsorbents.

In the presence of nitrogen heterocyclic compound 2,5-di(1H-imidazole-1 -yl)pyridine (2,5-DIP), luminescent chiral synthons (R)-H3CTA and (S)–H3CTA assembled with Zn2+ ions to obtain enantiomers [Zn((R)-HCTA) (2,5-DIP)]n (HU14-R) and [Zn((S)-HCTA) (2,5-DIP)]n (HU14–S)) under hydrothermal condition, respectively. Partially deprotonated (R)-HCTA2- anions were bridged by Zn2+ ions to form small left-handed (R)-HCTA-Zn chain in HU14-R, while (S)-HCTA2- anions and Zn2+ ions were connected together resulting in enantiomeric right-handed chain in HU14–S. Moreover, larger left-handed (R)-HCTA-Zn-2,5-DIP chain and right-handed (S)-HCTA-Zn-2,5-DIP chain were found in HU14-R and HU14–S, respectively. These helical building blocks were joined together to create a pair of 3D frameworks with dia net, which show strong fluorescent characteristic and circular dichroism response. Further tests proved that HU14-R and HU14–S have circularly polarized light (CPL) activity and their luminescence anisotropy factors (g1um) at 358 nm are +0.00346 and −0.00157, respectively. Moreover, as fluorescent probes, they have high stability, reliability and interference detection rate, and detection limits are up to 2.80 × 10−6 M for Cr2O72− and 6.19 × 10−6 M for MnO4−.

In this present investigation, we explored the impact of Sr2+ doping at the Bi-site on the structural, electrical, and optical characteristics of (NBT) nanomaterial. By employing the citrate auto-combustion method, we synthesized pure nano-perovskites, as well as various Sr-doped counterparts. Analysis of the observed X-ray diffraction patterns through Rietveld refinement revealed a rhombohedral phase with space group R3c, although the composition doped with 10 % Sr exhibited impurity phases. The introduction of Sr2+ ions had a discernible influence on diverse microstructural parameters, including lattice parameters (a and c), microstrain, X-ray density, and particle size. Detailed morphological and elemental assessments were conducted utilizing TEM, FE-SEM, and EDX spectroscopy. The analysis of UV–Vis absorption spectra yielded a reduction in the optical band gap with increasing Sr addition up to 8 % doping, followed by an increase. Random Free-Energy Barrier Model (RBM) was employed to analyze complex AC conductivity. The three-dimensional Godet's Variable Range Hopping (3D G-VRH) model was also applied to elucidate the electrical transport properties.

Pseudo-ternary CrP4-type (V,Cr,Mo)P4 was successfully synthesized at the conditions of 4 GPa and 900 °C by using a large volume multi-anvil-type press. SEM-EDS and STEM analyses revealed that the synthesized pseudo-ternary (V,Cr,Mo)P4 contains almost equimolar amounts of transition metals. The lattice parameters and unit cell volume of (V,Cr,Mo)P4 yield the average value of its end-members. The low-temperature (133 K–333 K) in-situ synchrotron XRD measurements demonstrated that the c-axis showed the highest coefficient of thermal expansion, followed by the b-axis and the a-axis. These thermal behaviors are the same as the binary end-members and pseudo-binary (V,Cr)P4. While from the high-pressure (P < 10 GPa) in-situ synchrotron XRD measurements, it was found that (V,Cr,Mo)P4 showed no phase transition and compression behaviors in which the c-axis was more compressible than the other two axes (b and a) and the b-axis was slightly compressible more than the a-axis. The zero-pressure bulk modulus of 106 (1) GPa and 122.1 (7) GPa were obtained for (V,Cr)P4 and (V,Cr,Mo)P4, respectively. MoP6 octahedral is highly distorted in comparison with VP4 and CrP4, thus the incorporation of MoP4 greatly yields incompressible behaviors of CrP4-type phosphides with respect to temperature and pressure.

The zero-pressure bulk modulus of 106 (1) GPa and 122.1 (7) GPa were obtained for (V,Cr)P<sub>4</sub> and (V,Cr,Mo)P<sub>4</sub>, respectively. MoP<sub>6</sub> octahedral is highly distorted in comparison with VP<sub>4</sub> and CrP<sub>4</sub>, thus the incorporation of MoP<sub>4</sub> greatly yields incompressible behaviors of CrP<sub>4</sub>-type phosphides with respect to temperature and pressure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":378,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Solid State Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142326641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Tin(IV)-5-ammonium isophthalic acid hybrid has been successfully synthesized at room temperature using 5-ammonium isophthalic acid hydrobromide and tin (IV) bromide as precursors. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the compound crystallizes in a triclinic system with a centrosymmetric space group Pī, where the asymmetric unit consists of one [C8H8NO]+ cation, half of a [SnBr6]2− anion, and two water molecules. The crystal cohesion is reinforced by a network of intermolecular interactions, including N–H⋯Br, O–H⋯Br, N–H⋯O, and O–H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which play a crucial role in stabilizing the crystal structure and ensuring its integrity. BVS calculations performed on SnBr62− anion resulted in 3.95, it is conclusively shown that tin's near the formal oxidation state is 4+. At room temperature, diffuse reflectance spectral measurements indicated a band gap of 2.93 eV. The 1H and 13C NMR analyses reveal distinct chemical shifts and broadening due to coupling effects, providing critical insights into the structural arrangement and interactions within the compound. Fingerprint plots have been utilized to identify and quantify the percentage of hydrogen bonding interactions.

Zn2+ and Mn2+ co-doped LiFe0.9Zn0.1-xMnxPO4 (where x = 0, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1) composites are synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal method. The composition, structure, morphology and electrochemical properties of the materials are fully characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, CV and AC impedance tests. The results show that the co-doping of Zn2+ and Mn2+ preserves the olivine structure of LiFePO4 and also stabilizes the crystal structure, reduces the charge transfer resistance and improves the Li+ diffusion rate. When the initial specific capacity of the cathode material with the doping ratio of Zn = 0.025 and Mn = 0.075 is 161.8 mAh·g−1, the discharge specific capacity after 200 cycles is still as high as 157.8 mAh·g−1 with a capacity retention of 97.5 %, which is obviously better than the rest of the materials.
