Inorganic scintillation crystals have been widely used in applications of high-energy physics, nuclear medical imaging, industrial nondestructive inspection, etc. In this work, a single crystal Ba3Y(PO4)3(BYP) with 1.0 at% Ce3+-doping concentration was first grown by the Czochralski method, and the electronic structure was calculated using first principles based on density functional theory. In addition, a series of Ce3+-doped BYP phosphors were synthesized, and the fluorescence emission under UV excitation was measured through low-temperature spectroscopy, containing double-peaked emission from 5d–4f transition and self-trapped exciton recombination. A comparison of the UV and X-ray-excited fluorescence spectra reveals the existence of oxygen vacancies as well as F+ centers in the crystal. The air annealing of the crystal effectively reduces the thermoluminescence defects but reduces the emission intensity under UV or X-ray excitation. The BYP:Ce crystal shows a fast decay lifetime of 15.5 ns, and the fast component is as short as 8 ns. The results show that the Ce3+-doped BYP crystal has potential as a kind of scintillator with fast decay properties.

The rapid increase in the commercialization of electric vehicles and portable electronics has markedly raised the demand for lithium resources. Extracting lithium from brine has become a critical pathway to address future lithium production challenges. However, the lithium extraction efficiency of conventional technologies is limited by the low levels of Li + and the high Mg 2+ /Li + ratio present in brine. A method involving one-step electrolysis with a solid-state electrolyte has been introduced for the direct and efficient extraction of metallic lithium. Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP) is considered a highly promising selective membrane for large-scale lithium extraction from brine sources due to its low cost, excellent stability, and high ionic conductivity. Herein, LATP electrolytes were synthesized through the optimization of solid-state reaction conditions. The resulting LATP pellets exhibited a high relative density of 98.29 % and an impressive ionic conductivity of 3.88 × 10 −4 S cm −1 . The lithium extraction device utilizing LATP as a selective membrane achieved a remarkable current efficiency of 97.4 % and a high lithium production rate of 40.4 μg h −1 cm −2 . After lithium extraction process, the LATP pellets retained the ionic conductivity of 2.69 × 10 −4 S cm −1 and preserved the sodium super ion conductors (NASICON) crystal structure. This study presents an efficient Li + selective membrane for extracting lithium directly from natural brine.

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are expected to replace liquid electrolytes in lithium metal batteries (LMBs) with good safety and mechanical strength. However, the existing problems of the Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) electrolyte, like its poor contact with electrodes, serious side reactions and low ionic conductivity, limit its practical application. In this work, a chlorine (Cl)-doped LATP electrolyte showing a high ionic conductivity of 0.423 mS cm−1 was successfully synthesized. Neutron powder diffraction (NPD) results reveal that the change of the Li+ coordination environment after Cl doping has an effect on the ion diffusion path in the bulk LATP. The fabricated Li symmetric battery with the Cl-doped LATP exhibits long-term compatibility and electrochemical stability against the lithium metal anode. The enhanced performance may be attributed to the in situ formed stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer. Meanwhile, compared to the LATP electrolyte, the Li|LiFePO4 (LFP) full battery with Cl-doped LATP as an electrolyte has an improved rate performance and cycling performance. This work demonstrates that Cl doping may be an effective approach for improving the performance of the LATP electrolyte.

Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 is one of the most promising cathodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its three-dimensional framework. To meet practical feasibility, the substitution of vanadium with low-cost active elements is urgent. Here the Na + superionic conductor (NASICON)-type Na 3.5 Mn 0.5 V 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 nanoparticles homogeneously embedded in porous carbon matrix are prepared and investigated as a novel cathode for SIBs. The as-prepared Na 3.5 Mn 0.5 V 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 /C could deliver a desirable average discharge potential of 3.43 V vs. Na + /Na with fascinating rate capability of 92.7 mA h g −1 at 60C and impressive capacity retention of 87.2% after 4000 cycles at 20C. In situ X-ray diffraction reveals that the electrochemical process undergoes highly reversible biphasic transition and single phase change with a relatively small volume change (8.21%), ensuring the high structural stability and excellent cyclic capability. The reversible evolution of Mn 2+/3+ and V 3+/4+ redox couples upon Na + extraction/insertion has been revealed by the confirmation of valence state via both ex situ X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The superior performance of Na 3.5 Mn 0.5 V 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 could be attributed to the high electronic/ionic conductivity and low sodium-ion diffusion energy barrier, which is supported by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry measurements, as well as density functional theory computations.

NASICON-structured Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 (LAGP) has been a promising solid-state glass-ceramic electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium ion batteries. However, the non-ideal ionic conductivity, non-uniformity of chemical composition, distortion and micro-cracks, etc., have limited its practical application. Considering these issues, in this work, we first of all introduce partial substitution of Al3+ by Ga3+. To avoid segregation of secondary phase, microwave sintering technology to prepare LAGP was used. With the help of microwave irradiation, sintering could be finished in just 30 min, and the size of crystals was homogeneous across the cross-section. No distortion and micro-cracks could be identified. Characterisations such as DTA, XRD, SEM and EIS were used to evaluate the material and electrochemical properties of the Li1.5Al0.5-xGaxGe1.5(PO4)3 (x = 0.1 ~ 0.5) samples. A high bulk conductivity of 6.67 × 10−4 S/cm at room temperature has been achieved when x = 0.1 and the activation energy was about 0.66 eV.

Eu3+-Doped Ba3In(PO4)3 was synthesized through a high-temperature solid-phase method. According to the structure refinement based on X-ray diffraction and density functional theory, the crystal and energy band structures of Ba3In(1−x)(PO4)3:xEu3+ were studied and analyzed in detail. The effect of Eu3+ doping concentrations on emission was studied at an excitation wavelength of 393 nm. For the material Ba3In(1−x)(PO4)3:xEu3+(x = 0.01–0.30), the optimal doping level is confirmed to be 0.18. Due to the thermal quenching differences of Eu3+ at the 5D0 and 5D1 energy levels, and based on the temperature-variable fluorescence intensity ratio between emission peaks, the optical temperature measurement performance of this material in the temperature range from 298.15 K to 623.15 K was characterized, and the maximum absolute and relative sensor sensitivities (Sa and Sr) were determined to be 0.1002 K−1 and 4.058%, respectively. With temperature as the only variable, the color of the phosphor changes from red to yellow light with rising temperature. Besides, Sa and Sr values of this phosphor are comparable to other sensing materials. The results indicate that Eu3+-doped Ba3In(PO4)3 phosphors have great potential to be applied in optical temperature sensing.

Sodium super-ionic conductor (NASICON) materials are believed as competitive cathodes for sodium-ion batteries, however, their practical application is still prohibited by the limited reversible capacity. In this study, the tri-metal NASICON structured Na 3 Mn 0.5 V 0.5 Ti(PO 4 ) 3 is designed to combine with reduced graphene oxide (NMVTP/rGO) as cathode material . Benefited from the multi-step redox couples of Mn, V, and Ti, NMVTP/rGO realizes high reversible capacity and wide operating voltage. The small sizes of Na 3 Mn 0.5 V 0.5 Ti(PO 4 ) 3 and rGO ensure the fast charge migration. The rGO inhibits the dissolution of electrode material. As a result, NMVTP/rGO exhibits large specific capacity of 284.6 mAh g −1 at 0.1C, high rate performance (170.2 mAh g −1 at 1C and 108.5 mAh g −1 at 5C), and good cyclic stability. This work demonstrates a new insight for designing tri-metal NASICON structured materials with high capacity for sodium-ion batteries.

In this paper, LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @N-doped carbon anode has been synthesized by in situ carbon coating approach. The well-proportioned N-doped carbon layer and loose nanoporous structure was obtained by using urea as nitrogen source and pore former. LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @N-doped carbon as anode demonstrates much better rate capability than LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon in ALIBs. The optimized anode delivers the discharge capacity of 93.7 mAh g −1 and 74.2 mAh g −1 at rates of 10C and 20C, 22.5 mAh g −1 and 50.0 mAh g −1 larger than that of LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon. Moreover, LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @N-doped carbon exhibits excellent cycling performance with capacity retention of 84.3% at 5C after 1000 cycles. As verified, the well-proportioned N-doped carbon layer could reduce charge transfer resistance and improve electrical conductivity. The loose nanoporous structure could shorten pathway and facilitate diffusion for Li ion. Therefore, LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @N-doped carbon gets the superior electrochemical properties benefiting from those two characteristics.

The development of novel phosphors with excellent luminescence properties for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) is always a formidable task. Compared with the traditional laborious and aimless “trial and error” experiments, a mineral-inspired prototype strategy can provide an efficient and accurate method. Herein, for the first time, a novel yellow-emitting phosphor NaBaY2(PO4)3:Eu2+ was discovered using the mineral-inspired prototype strategy and cation substitution method. The phosphor was prepared via the high-temperature solid-state reaction method, and its crystal structure, luminescence properties and potential application for WLEDs were systematically investigated. The NaBaY2(PO4)3 phase was derived from the K2Mg2(SO4)3-type mineral structure and a photoluminescence study revealed that the phosphor can emit bright yellow light with a maximum at 545 nm upon excitation at 351 nm. A WLED lamp was fabricated by the use of a blend of commercial blue-emitting BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+, yellow-emitting NaBaY2(PO4)3:Eu2+ and red-emitting (Ca, Sr)AlSiN3:Eu2+ phosphors with a 380 nm LED chip. The CIE, CCT, Ra and efficiency of the as-fabricated LEDs were measured to be equal to (0.366, 0.365), 4327 K, 91.2 and 40.8 lm W−1, respectively. These results suggest that NaBaY2(PO4)3:Eu2+ could be a promising candidate for n-UV WLEDs.

Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :R (R = Bi 3+ , Sm 3+ , and Sm 3+ /Bi 3+ ) are successfully synthesized in air atmosphere. The high-temperature solid-state reaction method is used in this work. The X-ray diffractometer patterns confirm that all samples have the single pure phase Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 . Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Bi 3+ displays blue emission because of the Bi 3+ - Sc 3+ metal-to-metal charge-transfer and the 3 P 1 → 1 S 0 transition of Bi 3+ . Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Sm 3+ shows red-orange emission with four emission bands derived from the 4 G 5/2 → 6 H 5/2 (550 - 582 nm), 6 H 7/2 (582–625 nm), 6 H 9/2 (625–675 nm), and 6 H 11/2 (675–750 nm) transitions of Sm 3+ . The optimal Sm 3+ concentration in Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Sm 3+ is ∼8mol%. An adjustable color emission from blue to red-orange of Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Sm 3+ , Bi 3+ with excitation at 345 nm can be observed when the ratio between Sm 3+ and Bi 3+ ions is changed. Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Sm 3+ , Bi 3+ emits red–orange light under excitation 406 nm. The optimal Bi 3+ concentration in Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :8mol%Sm 3+ , Bi 3+ is ∼ 6mol%. The energy transfer from Bi 3+ to Sm 3+ in Na 3 Sc 2 (PO 4 ) 3 :Sm 3+ , Bi 3+ is verified by the spectral properties of samples. We discuss the influences of Bi 3+ or Sm 3+ concentration on luminescence properties of samples and analyze their luminous mechanism by energy level diagram. The experimental results of paper are useful for the research of new Bi 3+ and Sm 3+ doped phosphors.

Sodium superionic conductor (NASICON) structured polyanionic materials have recently attracted great attention for robust crystal structures. However, inherent properties of NASICON presents poor electrical conductivity and low energy density. Herein, non-stoichiometric synthesized strategy is used for acquiring N 3.5 MTP, effectively suppressing voltage hysteresis. Besides, as-fabricated N 3.5 MTP grains in-situ grow on MXene-rGO aerogels by sol–gel synthesis approach obtaining N 3.5 MTP@MXene-rGO. MXene-rGO aerogel as an excellent conductive matrix can effectively avoid agglomeration of Na 3.5 MnTi(PO 4 ) 3 particles and alleviate volume change of the lattice during sodium ion intercalation/deintercalation. Moreover, cross-linked network of N 3.5 MTP@MXene-rGO provides fast electron transfer and ion transport rates. The above synergistic effect and contribution of pseudocapacitance make it an excellent discharge capacity of 189 mA h g −1 at 50 mA g −1 for N 3.5 MTP@MXene-rGO, long cycles of 5000 cycles, as well as 98 mA g −1 at −30 °C (50 mA g −1 ). Prospectively, this study provides an effective strategy for improving electrochemical performance of NASICON-type cathode for sodium batteries.

Two major challenges in photocatalysis are the separation and utilization of photogenerated charge carriers that have limited their wider applications. To address these issues, significant studies have been devoted to the surface modification of photocatalysts. Herein, CdS nanorods were surface-modified by an ion-conducting LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (LTP) shell. This modification could accelerate the rapid separation and efficient utilization of photoinduced charge carriers. Therefore, CdS@LTP composite photocatalyst displayed a photocatalytic H 2 evolution rate of 26.01 mmol g −1 h −1 without any addition of cocatalysts in a Na 2 S/Na 2 SO 3 solution, which was over 6-fold compared to CdS, and showed improved stability. Furthermore, this shell can prevent the reverse reactions between H 2 and O 2 during photocatalytic water splitting. With the photo-deposition of Pt cocatalysts, CdS@LTP-Pt can achieve efficient overall water splitting with the highest H 2 generation rate (351 μmol g −1 h −1 ), which is 3.25 times higher than that of CdS-Pt. This study broadens the application of ionic conductor materials and provides a new way for the design of advanced photocatalysts for solar energy conversion.
