In this study, LiMn2–xTixO4 cathode materials were synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal method, and the effects of Ti doping on the sample structure and electrochemical properties were examined. The results indicated that Ti doping did not affect the spinel structure of LiMn2O4, and no other hybrid phases were produced. Furthermore, appropriate doping with Ti improved the particle uniformity of the samples. The electrochemical performance results showed that LiMn1.97Ti0.03O4 exhibited much better cycling performance than the undoped sample. The discharge capacity of LiMn1.97Ti0.03O4 reached 136 mAh g–1 at 25 °C at 0.2C, and the specific capacity reached 106.2 mAh g–1 after 300 cycles, with a capacity retention rate of 78.09%. Additionally, the specific capacity of LiMn1.97Ti0.03O4 was 102.3 mAh g–1 after 100 cycles at 55 °C, with a capacity retention rate of 75.44%. The Ti-doped samples thus exhibited an impressive high-rate performance. The discharge capacity of LiMn2O4 was only 31.3 mAh g–1 at 10C, while the discharge-specific capacity of LiMn1.97Ti0.03O4 reached 73.4 mAh g–1. Furthermore, to assess the higher Li+ diffusion coefficient and lower internal resistance of the Ti-doped samples, cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectra data were obtained. Our results showed that Ti doping enhanced the crystal structure of LiMn2O4 and improved Li+ diffusion, resulting in significant improvements in the cycling and rate performance of Ti-doped samples.

A novel composite of N-doped TiO 2 -quantum dots tightly anchored on graphene (denoted as N-doped TiO 2 -QDs@GP) with superior interfacial contact via C–Ti bond was synthesized via the simple one-pot vapor-thermal method. The as-obtained N-doped TiO 2 -QDs@GP includes TiO 2 QDs with an average size of 3.28 nm uniformly distributed on the surface of GP. The large specific area and superior interfacial contact via C–Ti bond ensured its potential photocatalytic application. Except for the effective interfacial charge transfer achieved via C–Ti chemical bond between TiO 2 QDs and GP, its enhanced visible light absorption and larger oxygen vacancy ratio also make contributions. Electron spin resonance spectra (ESR) were used to study the photocatalytic mechanism, which proved the participation of both superoxide radical (·O 2 − ) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) in the photocatalytic reactions. This work provides a promising one-pot method for constructing intimately contacted N-doped TiO 2 /GP composite with superior interfacial contact via C–Ti bond and excellent photocatalytic activities.

Poor mechanical properties of Ni alloy hinder its widespread application in the industrial. In order to enhance its performance, Ni204-based composite coatings reinforced with in-situ TiC and (Ti, Nb)C particles were investigated and successfully built on 45 steel alloy via laser cladding technology. The strengthening phase characteristics, microstructure evolution, and mechanical properties of the samples were examined and analyzed. By doping Ti and C particles into the NbC–Ni composite coatings, the large lump structure of NbC was effectively eliminated. The alternative formation of TiC and NbC promoted the in-situ generation of the multiphase (Ti, Nb)C and further prevented the NbC from agglomerating. Therefore, the problem of TiC particles floating has been effectively alleviated. The microhardness is up to 1.53 higher than that of the original Ni204 coating. Compared with the mass fraction ratio of Ti/C/NbC is 7:2:21 composite coating, the wear resistance of the composite coating (the addition of NbC is 30%) is improved by around 11 times. The composite coating has excellent combination property when the mass fraction ratio of Ti/C/NbC is 4:1:5. This work provides insight into the Ni204-based composite coatings by ceramic reinforcement.

In this study, the impact of codoping Mg and Ti on the thermoelectric performance of AgSbTe2 materials was investigated. Through a two-step synthesis process involving slow cooling and spark plasma sintering, AgSb0.98–xMg0.02TixTe2 samples were prepared. The introduction of Mg and Ti dopants effectively suppressed the formation of the undesirable Ag2Te phase. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that Ti doping facilitated the band convergence, leading to a reduction in the effective mass of the carriers. This optimization enhanced carrier mobility and, consequently, electrical conductivity. Additionally, the codoping strategy resulted in the reinforcement of point defects, which contributed to a decrease in lattice thermal conductivity. The AgSb0.98–xMg0.02TixTe2 sample achieved a maximum figure of merit (ZT) value of 1.45 at 523 K, representing an 87% improvement over the undoped AgSbTe2 sample. The average ZT value over the temperature range of 323–573 K was 1.09, marking a significant enhancement in thermoelectric performance. This research demonstrates the potential of Mg and Ti codoping as a strategy to improve the thermoelectric properties of AgSbTe2-based materials.

P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67 O 2 (NNMO) is promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its high specific capacity and fast Na + diffusion rate. Nonetheless, the irreversible P2-O2 phase transformation, Na + /vacancy ordering, and transition metal (TM) dissolution seriously damage its cycling stability and restrict its commercialization process. Herein, Na occupation manipulation and interface stabilization are proposed to strengthen the phase structure of NNMO by synergistic Zn/Ti co-doping and introducing lithium difluorophosp (LiPO 2 F 2 ) film-forming electrolyte additive . The Zn/Ti co-doping regulates the occupancy ratio of Na e /Na f at Na sites and disorganizes the Na + /vacancy ordering, resulting in a faster Na + diffusion kinetics and reversible P2-Z phase transition for P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.28 Zn 0.05 Mn 0.62 Ti 0.05 O 2 (NNZMTO). Meanwhile, the LiPO 2 F 2 additive can form homogeneous and ultrathin cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) on NNZMTO surface, which can stabilize the NNZMTO-electrolyte interface to prevent TM dissolution, surface structure transformation, and micro-crack generation. Combination studies of in situ and ex situ characterizations and theoretical calculations were used to elucidate the storage mechanism of NNZMTO with LiPO 2 F 2 additive. As a result, the NNZMTO displays outstanding capacity retention of 94.44% after 500 cycles at 1C with 0.3 wt% LiPO 2 F 2 , excellent rate performance of 92.5 mA h g −1 at 8C with 0.1 wt% LiPO 2 F 2 , and remarkable full cell capability. This work highlights the important role of manipulating Na occupation and constructing protective film in the design of layered materials, which provides a promising direction for developing high-performance cathodes for SIBs.

Photothermal-driven catalytic conversion of CO 2 into formic acid (HCOOH) offers a promising route for sustainable energy storage and carbon neutrality. However, the efficiency of this process is often limited by sluggish reaction kinetics and rapid charge carrier recombination. This study presents a strategically designed Pd/TiO 2 catalyst—fabricated via impregnation—that enhances CO 2 hydrogenation through improved electron transfer and photothermal synergy. Under simulated solar irradiation (0.15 W·cm −2 ), the optimized 1 wt% Pd/P25 catalyst achieves a CO 2 conversion efficiency of 8.51 % and a solar-to-chemical energy conversion of 7.39 %, with a HCOOH selectivity exceeding 99 %. The HCOOH production rate reaches 25.32 mmol·g cat −1 ·h −1 , representing a 3.5-fold enhancement over pristine TiO 2 . Through in situ spectroscopy and DFT calculations, Pd sites are identified as dual-functional centers for photon absorption and catalytic activation, reducing the activation energy by 19.8 % compared to pure thermal catalysis. Furthermore, the Pd–Ti interface promotes CO 2 chemisorption by stabilizing the *OCHO intermediate (ΔEads = –3.746 eV). This work demonstrates the effective integration of photo- and thermal energy at metal–oxide interfaces to overcome the activity–selectivity trade-off in CO 2 conversion, providing valuable insights for the design of efficient photothermal catalytic systems.

To address space constraints in solid rocket motors, this study investigates Al–Ti, Al–Zr, and Al–Mo alloys. Their high density enhances energy release per unit volume. Multidimensional analyses—thermal oxidation behavior, ignition/combustion characteristics, and agglomeration properties—were conducted to elucidate how high-density alloys influence Al-based propellant combustion performance and energy release. Results show these high-density alloys exhibit shorter ignition delay time and combustion time, effectively increasing the propellant burning rate of propellants while reducing the pressure exponent. Titration measurements reveal combustion efficiencies of 84.28% (A), 87.33% (AT), 86.79% (AZ), and 85.91% (AM). Among them, Al–Zr demonstrates the most significant optimization effect on combustion performance. Due to the low ignition threshold, Al–Ti significantly suppresses agglomerate formation and accelerates the combustion. Meanwhile, Al–Mo enhances the transport efficiency of oxidizing gases through the phase-change sublimation mechanism of MoO 3 , indirectly boosting combustion efficiency. Furthermore, this work reveals the synergistic mechanisms by which high-density alloys optimize propellant combustion performance via multiple factors. The findings confirm the technical feasibility of simultaneously achieving superior combustion performance, high energy output, and effective agglomeration suppression, providing theoretical and technological guidance for developing advanced high-energy-density solid propellants.

In this work, S-scheme Ti-MOF/Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 heterojunction photocatalysts were developed via an in situ self-assembly strategy, achieving satisfactory interfacial contact, matched band alignment, enhanced charge separation, and redox activity. The optimized Ti-MOF/Cs 2 AgBiBr 6 composite exhibited remarkable photocatalytic performance toward benzyl alcohol oxidation under visible light, achieving > 99 % conversion and selectivity without external oxidants and sacrificial agents. It represents a fourfold enhancement over individual components, while maintaining broad substrate applicability and excellent cycling stability. The S-scheme configuration ensures sufficient oxidation potential compared with conventional Type-II systems. This work addresses challenges of limited bandgap tunability and inefficient carrier transport in selective aromatic alcohol oxidation, establishing a promising strategy for designing efficient lead-free perovskite photocatalysts toward sustainable organic transformations.

Membrane-fouling in forward osmosis (FO) process has limited its application in drug-containing wastewater treatment. Advanced membrane coupled photocatalytic oxidation process has drawn growing interest. In this study, functional photocatalytic thin-film composite (TFC) membranes modified using metal-organic framework of NH 2 -MIL-125(Ti) (NM125) were prepared through simple blending during interfacial polymerization process. Due to the intrinsic hydrophilicity and photocatalytic properties of the nano-sized NM125, the modified TFC membrane (NM-6) demonstrates improved permeability-selectivity with a A/B value of 16.19 bar -1 , outstanding light-response functionality (the photocatalytic efficiency is 80.95 % for tetracycline hydrochloride (THC) and 66.76 % for ibuprofen (IBU)), and ∼100 % rejection of THC and IBU in nearly all the FO tests. Furthermore, NM-6 displays excellent operation stability with a 5 % water decline and 98 % water recovery for treating THC-containing feed solution under light irradiation (0.64 kW/m 2 ), while the control membrane of NM-0 showed 22 % of water decline and 85 % water recovery. Our membrane with the property of photocatalytic self-cleaning opens opportunities for developing next-generation anti-fouling forward osmosis membranes.

Electrochromic devices (ECDs) based on WO 3 and Ti doped V 2 O 5 films are fabricated by using lithium (LiClO 4 ) liquid electrolyte containing ferrocene redox couple . The addition of ferrocene in electrolyte enhances electrochromic properties of device. The device based on LiClO 4 -Ferrocene electrolyte has larger charge density than that based on LiClO 4 electrolyte. In the 600–1500 nm wavelength range, the transmittance of colored device is under 2% and it has faster coloring response. At 680 nm wavelength, it shows larger changes in transmittance from 68% to 1.8% while device based on LiClO 4 electrolyte changes transmittance from 68.3% to 11.5%. The cycling data reveal that device based on LiClO 4 -Ferrocene electrolyte can yield more stable electrochromic properties at 65 °C than room temperature. In order to deeper understand the effect of electrolyte on films and devices, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the voltage distribution of films based on an analog cell are separately measured and analyzed in LiClO 4 and LiClO 4 -Ferrocene electrolytes. Results indicate that compared with LiClO 4 electrolyte, films have lower charge-transfer resistance and the distributed voltage on Ti doped V 2 O 5 film is larger in LiClO 4 -Ferrocene electrolyte, which can enhance optical properties of ECD by improving charge density of Ti doped V 2 O 5 film.

For more practical applications, research on magnetic refrigeration has been gradually focused on developing refrigerants with large magnetocaloric effect (MCE) under low magnetic fields (≤2 T). EuTiO 3 exhibits considerable low-field MCE near ordering temperature, meanwhile the magnetic switch from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic (AFM-FM) in it provides the feasibility of improving the magnetocaloric performance. In this study, a series of Eu(Ti,Nb,M)O 3 (M=Cu or Zn) compounds were synthesized, and the crystal structure, magnetic properties together with cryogenic MCEs were investigated in detail. The co-substitution contributes to an FM coupling domination in all the compounds. Besides, significantly enhanced and giant low-field MCEs were detected in these compounds. Under the field change of 1 T, all the samples possess remarkable magnetic entropy change (>15 J·kg -1 ·K -1 ) around 5 K without hysteresis. The corresponding refrigerating capacities are calculated to be 68.0, 72.6, 76.0, and 69.6 J·kg -1 , respectively, exhibiting an increase of 149–178% than EuTiO 3 . The outstanding magnetocaloric performances make the Eu(Ti,Nb,M)O 3 (M=Cu or Zn) compounds competitive candidates for cryogenic magnetic refrigeration.

This study successfully prepared high-density LiFePO 4 /C composite materials using a ternary co-doping strategy of Nb 2 O 5 , TiO 2 , and V 2 O 5 , combined with particle size optimization and control techniques. The substitution of Nb⁵⁺ for Li⁺ positions can widen the diffusion channels for Li⁺ and enhance its diffusion kinetics. The replacement of Fe²⁺ by Ti⁴⁺ can stabilize the crystal structure, reduce volume changes during charge-discharge processes, and improve cycling stability. The substitution of Fe²⁺ by V 4⁺ and the introduction of electron defects can increase electronic conductivity. The synergistic co-doping of Nb⁵⁺, Ti⁴⁺, and V 4⁺ increased the electrical conductivity of the LFP material from 2.0 × 10 − 1 to 2.6 × 10 − 1 S cm − 1 and the Li⁺ diffusion coefficient from 7.65 × 10 − 13 to 2.39 × 10 − 12 cm 2 s − 1 . Moreover, by optimizing the particle size distribution and adopting a non-uniform particle grading strategy, small particles can efficiently fill the gaps between large particles, reducing porosity and further increasing the compaction density. The final Li₀.₉₉₀Nb₀.₀₁₀Fe₀.₉₉₀Ti₀.₀₀₅V₀.₀₀₅PO₄ material achieved an industry-leading compaction density of 2.72 g cm − 3 under a pressure of 226 MPa. Electrochemical tests showed that the discharge capacities at 0.2 C and 5 C rates were 166.2 mAh g − 1 and 142.4 mAh g − 1 , respectively, and the capacity retention rate after 1000 cycles at 5 C was 91.34%. The assembled 14,500 cylindrical battery exhibited excellent volumetric energy density (0.2 C: 1166.27 Wh L − 1 , 1 C: 1109.62 Wh L − 1 ). This research provides an effective material design strategy for the development of high-energy-density lithium iron phosphate batteries.
