Solid polymer electrolytes have emerged as promising materials for next-generation lithium metal batteries due to their enhanced safety and high energy density potential. However, their widespread adoption is hindered by slow ion transport and inefficient lithium-ion (Li + ) selectivity. To overcome these limitations, this study introduces a composite electrolyte by incorporating functionalized La(OH) 3 nanofibers with oxygen vacancies into a Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix. These nanofibers, synthesized via a simple method, are designed to improve Li + mobility by leveraging their oxygen vacancies to immobilize TFSI − anions from the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI). Simultaneously, amino groups on the nanofiber surface act as binding sites, facilitating lithium salt dissociation and creating supplementary ion transport pathways. Density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal that the functionalized La(OH) 3 nanofibers effectively suppress TFSI − anion movement while reducing the energy barrier for Li + migration. This mechanism elevates the Li + transference number to 0.51, a significant improvement over the conventional PEO-based electrolytes. The composite electrolyte exhibits excellent performance in Li||Li cells, maintaining stable cycling for over 600 h at a current density of 0.38 mA cm −2 . Furthermore, a solid-state LiFePO 4 ||Li battery demonstrates highly reversible capacities of 100.2 mAh g −1 after 600 cycles at 8C. By combining anion confinement strategies with tailored electronic interactions, this work provides a practical approach to advancing solid-state battery performance. The findings not only highlight the potential of La(OH) 3 -PEO composite electrolytes but also establish a new framework for optimizing ionic conductivity through targeted molecular design.
In order to facilitate recovery and enhance phosphate adsorption capacity of lanthanum (La)-based materials, magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @MgAl-LDH@La(OH) 3 (MMAL) composites with a hierarchical core-shell structure were synthesized. In the preparation process, citric acid played a vital role in the morphology control of La(OH) 3 , deciding the La content and phosphate adsorption capacity of materials. MMAL composites with a citric acid-to-La molar ratio of 0.375 (MMAL-0.375) exhibited a high adsorption capacity of 66.5 mg P/g, fast adsorption kinetics of 30 min, widely applicable pH range of 4.0–10.0, outstanding selective adsorption performance, and superior reusability in batch adsorption experiments. Moreover, the phosphate in the desorption solution could be concentrated by repeated use of desorption solution and recovered by using CaCl 2 . When the obtained composites were used for the sedimentary phosphorus sequestration and recovery, the results showed that the addition of MMAL-0.375 effectively reduced the concentration of soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) in the overlying water. Accompanied by an evident increase in HCl-extractable phosphorus (HCl–P), mobile phosphorus (P mob ) in sediments was effectively reduced. This work indicates that the MMAL-0.375 composites can serve as an effective tool for the removal of phosphate from wastewater and the control of sedimentary phosphorus.

Applying polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) monolith for phosphates removal can improve the operability of the adsorption process compared with some other powder nanomaterials. However, as the commonly used synthesis strategy, non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) was deemed not environmentally friendly enough since the dissolution of PVDF often involved volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This article designed a salt sacrificial template method to fabricate a 3D porous PVDF monolith, and then in-situ growth of lamellar La(OH) 3 on the PVDF foam was realized to enhance the adsorption affinity to phosphates pollution. No VOCs were used or released during the whole synthesis process. The adsorption for phosphates was as high as 56.2 mg g −1 , and easy reusability of the novel PVDF monolith was realized. In addition, this PVDF-La(OH) 3 foam exhibited good adsorption properties in both oil and water environments, which implied it could not only adsorb phosphates in actual water samples but also separate oil contaminants from water. All these implied that this PVDF-La(OH) 3 foam could be a potential candidate for large-scale industrial adsorption and separation of phosphates. This PVDF-La(OH) 3 foam could be a potential candidate for large-scale industrial adsorption and separation of phosphates.
