Herein, Li + -enriched Li (1+ x )2 ZnTi 3 O 8 ceramics are prepared via the solid-phase methods. As x increases, the unit cell volume gradually increases, while the grain size initially increases and then decreases gradually. The Li (1+0.06)2 ZnTi 3 O 8 ceramics exhibit the best dielectric properties : ε r = 25.92, Q × f = 109534 GHz (@7.37 GHz, which is a 48 % increase compared with the stoichiometric counterpart.), and τ f = −8.21 ppm/°C. The complex chemical bond theory and Raman spectroscopy reveal that Ti-O bonds have a significant effect on the dielectric properties . An optimal Li + enrichment leads to an overall reduction in the distortion of the Li/ZnO 4 tetrahedra, resulting in a reduction in τ f . First-principles calculations demonstrate that a suitable excess of Li + leads to an increase in the band-gap as well as an enhanced electron cloud density in the internal space of the Li1/ZnO 4 tetrahedra, thereby increasing the Q × f . In summary, Li + -enriched Li (1+0.06)2 ZnTi 3 O 8 ceramics are promising for a wide array of applications in microwave communications.

A series of Eu 2+ single doped Ca 9 Na 1– x Li x Sc 0.667 (PO 4 ) 7 phosphors with full-spectrum emission have been synthesized. Under the 385 nm excitation, the Eu 2+ single doped Ca 9 NaSc 0.667 (PO 4 ) 7 without Li + doping displays a broad cold white light emission with the peaks at about 480 and 610 nm. With the introduction of Li + ions, the Eu 2+ ions selectively occupy the Ca1, Ca2/Ca3, and Na sites. The variation of local environment of Eu 2+ ions caused by Li + ions enhances the luminous intensity, solves the problem of the lack of a red light component, and realizes the emission color tuning from cold white via warm white to orange. A special charge compensation method caused by Li + migration avoids the generation of defects and is beneficial to the improvement of luminescence properties. Eventually, a warm white light-emitting diode device is prepared by combining the white emitting Ca 9 Na 0.8 Li 0.2 Sc 0.667 (PO 4 ) 7 :2%Eu 2+ phosphors with 385 nm LED chip, which exhibits a high color-rendering of 92.9, low correlated color temperatures of 4529 K, and excellent color stability under working temperature. The as-reported warm white emitting Eu 2+ -doped phosphors have potential applications in full-spectrum solid-state lighting. The site engineering strategy provides an extensive guide for optimizing and designing novel single-composition white-emitting phosphor materials.

Facile electron injection and extraction are two important attributes desired in electron transportation layer (ETL) to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of planar CsPbBr 3 perovskite solar cell (PSC). Here, it is demonstrated that Li-doping of amorphous compact Nb 2 O 5 (Li: Nb 2 O 5 ) can effectively increase the electronic conductivity and facilitate the charge extraction with low recombination. Comparing with the PSC with Nb 2 O 5 ETL, the PCE of the Li: Nb 2 O 5 -based PSC is enhanced from 5.79% to 7.06%. Furthermore, the Li: Nb 2 O 5 -based CsPbBr 3 PSC exhibits a fabulous stability when exposed in air with moisture of ∼40% for 60 days. This work shows that ion doping provides new opportunities for preparing effective ETLs and high-performance inorganic PSCs .

Octahedral [CaY]F2 crystals with an average particle size of 1 μm were synthesized via a mild one-step hydrothermal route without employing any surfactants. Various morphologies, including cubes, truncated cubes, truncated octahedrons, and spheres, were achieved via manipulating the amount of EDTA used, and a possible growth mechanism was proposed based on the surface energies of different crystal planes and the influence of the surfactant. XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM, HRTEM, and PL analysis were used to characterize the products. The effects of the morphologies and Li+ doping concentrations on the luminescence intensities of the [CaY]F2:Ce3+/Tb3+ phosphors were explored, and the strongest luminescence intensity is obtained when the sample is cubic with (100) crystal faces and the doping concentration of Li+ is 0.25 mol%. Additionally, multicolor emission (blue → aquamarine blue → green) was obtained from [CaY]F2:Ce3+/Tb3+ phosphors via adjusting the doping concentration of Tb3+, which resulted from the Ce3+ → Tb3+ energy transfer behavior; the energy transfer here happened through a dipole–dipole mechanism. This work may result in the as-synthesized phosphors having great application potential in many optoelectronic device fields, such as in displays and multicolor lighting.

An electric field assisted nanofiltration (ENF) process was used for Mg 2+ /Li + efficient separation from a MgCl 2 /LiCl solution and a simulated salt-lake brine. The influence of membrane pore structure , electric property, and other process parameters on the Mg 2+ /Li + separation performance in the ENF was systematically investigated. The structural coefficient ( λ ) of NF membrane was introduced to quantify the membrane pore structure including pore size, pore length and porosity. Results suggested that membrane pore structure, instead of membrane pore size, had a critical role on the ENF separation performance. Direct current electric field (DC-EF) markedly promoted Mg 2+ /Li + separation. However, the effect of alternating current EF (AC-EF) with different frequencies was nominal. The synergistic effect between λ and DC-EF on Mg 2+ /Li + separation was also demonstrated. A low-concentration feed with suitable Mg 2+ /Li + mass ratio and pH value, and low transmembrane pressure were beneficial to Mg 2+ /Li + separation. For 2000 ppm MgCl 2 /LiCl feed solution with a Mg 2+ /Li + mass ratio of 20, a nearly complete rejection to Mg 2+ and a high Li + flux simultaneously achieved; correspondingly, a separation factor of Li + over Mg 2+ ( S Li,Mg ) reached above 7000, which is 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than that of pure NF membrane. For a simulated 10,000 ppm brine solution, a S Li,Mg value was up to above 50. The study suggested that ENF process witnessed simple and efficient separation performance for Li + extraction from salt lakes.

Ni-rich LiNi x Mn 1- x O 2 cathodes have been extensively probed to resolve the electrochemical performance degradation in the absence of Co 3+ compared to LiNi x Co y Mn 1- x - y O 2 cathodes for lithium-ion batteries. Herein, LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.4 O 2 (NM64) and a series of nonmagnetic Al 3+ ions substituted NM64 cathode materials are designed and prepared via a sol–gel route. It is found that the inferior electrochemical performance of NM64 derives from the magnetic frustration arising from Mn ions and the unstable Mn 3+ ions, which will lead to severe Li/Ni mixing, and weak structural and interfacial stabilities of the cathode. The superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) analysis proves that the nonmagnetic Al 3+ ion can lower the Li/Ni disorder in NM64 cathode by relieving magnetic frustration. Moreover, the dQ/dV and XPS analyses confirm that both structural and interfacial stabilities are enhanced for NM64 cathode owing to Al 3+ substitution, contributing to fewer byproducts after a long cycle. Consequently, LiNi 0.582 Mn 0.388 Al 0.03 O 2 cathode delivers a high discharging capacity of 179 mAh g −1 at 1.0C with a capacity retention of 87.6% after 100 cycles. This study not only gives an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of electrochemical performance degradation for NM64 cathode, but also demonstrates an efficient solving approach through Al 3+ complementary substitution.

Nanofiltration is considered a promising technology for separation of multivalent/monovalent ions such as extracting lithium from Salt Lake brine with high Mg 2+ /Li + ratio. However, the nanofiltration membranes fabricated via conventional interfacial polymerization process generally possess negatively charged surface and have low Mg 2+ /Li + selectivity. Herein, we proposed a new and facile method, i.e., reversed interfacial polymerization (RIP), to prepare nanofiltration membranes with positively charged surface and uniform charge distribution. The sequence of amine (polyethyleneimine, PEI) and acyl chloride (trimesoyl chloride, TMC) monomers on polysulfone support was reversed compared to the conventional interfacial polymerization (IP) process. Moreover, the solvent of amine monomer was acetone instead of water. The nanofiltration membranes fabricated by this method exhibited higher water flux (from 4.88 to 22.25 Lm −2 h −1 ) and MgCl 2 rejection (from 84.36% to 97.71%). Meanwhile, LiCl/MgCl 2 separation factor in single salt solution reached up to 13.93, which was almost quadruple compared to the conventional control membrane. In addition, the developed nanofiltration membrane also exhibited an excellent separation selectivity ( S Li, Mg = 9.22) in mixture system (Mg 2+ /Li + mass ratio of 20), which had good application potential in extracting lithium resources from Salt Lake brine.

Pb-free piezoelectric ceramic materials (K 0.48 Na 0.48 Li 0.04 )(Nb 0.92 Ta 0.08− x Sb x )O 3 (KNLNTS) were designed and prepared. The effects of varied Sb/Ta doping on the physical structure, surface morphology, and electrical characteristics of ceramics were also studied. The perovskite structure is present in all of the doped ceramic samples without any secondary phase (when x < 0.05). All of the doped ceramic samples have a Curie temperature ( T C ) above 300°C. At the same time, the orthorhombic–tetragonal phase transition temperature ( T O–T ) is pushed closer to ambient temperature. Doping with Sb/Ta/Li changed the electrical characteristics of the samples and increased their piezoelectric properties. At x = 0.03, the KNLNTS sample has the best piezoelectric properties: d 33 = 215 pC/N, Pr = 26.08 μC/cm 2 , T C = 342.6°C.

Though p-type NiO possesses excellent catalytic oxidation property toward volatile organic compounds (VOCs), intrinsic low sensitivity of NiO (arising from the hole accumulation layer configuration in ambient air atmosphere sensor) restricts its promising applications in VOCs detection. In this study, Sc and Li were proposed to modulate the (surface) properties of NiO nanosheet-flowers based sensors. At the optimal 2 at.% Sc and 5 at.% Li doping ratio (Ni 0.93 Sc 0.02 Li 0.05 O), the sensitivity to 100 ppm ethanol is 118.4 (105 times higher than that of pure NiO), which is comparable to or even higher than most of reported NiO based sensors. Moreover, Ni 0.93 Sc 0.02 Li 0.05 O sensor exhibits a low detection limit of 10 ppb, excellent repeatability and long-term stability (∼30 % decline of response after 7 months). Apart from regulating the carrier concentration, defect characterizations indicate a noticeable increase of stabilized surface oxygen vacancy (O V ) defects and Ni 3+ cations by Sc 3+ and Li + co-doping, which greatly facilitate the adsorption of VOCs molecule (revealed by density functional theory calculation) as well as the subsequent VOCs/NiO interfacial charge interaction, thus contribute to the superior sensing performances. This work demonstrates that co-doping offers an effective avenue for boosting the performances of (p-type) oxide sensors.

The application of Li metal anode in high energy density batteries is hindered by uncontrolled dendrites growth and rapid capacity decline. In this study, 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) is used as a multifunctional electrolyte additive to effectively stabilise Li anode and extend the cycling life of LiNi 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O 2 (NCA) cathode in carbonate electrolyte. It is found that 4-ABA facilitates the desolvation of Li + and increases the Li + transference number, leading to an increase in Li + flux on the surface of the Li anode, and finally the growth of Li dendrites is inhibited. The cycling performance of Li||Li symmetric cell is extended from < 400 h to more than 600 h at 1 mA cm −2 with a capacity of 1 mAh cm −2 . For the NCA cathode, 4-ABA is involved in the formation of a thin and uniform cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer, which is conducive to inhibiting the corrosion of electrolyte on NCA cathode and reducing the dissolution of the transition metals Ni and Co. Thus, the electrochemical performances of the Li||NCA cell with the electrolyte containing 0.5% 4-ABA are significantly improved. In particular, the discharge capacity of the cells with the electrolyte containing 0.5% 4-ABA are still 164.9 and 150.7 mAh g −1 compared to only 126.3 and 116.0 mAh/g for the cells with the baseline electrolyte after 200 cycles at 1C and 5C. This study provides a simple and effective strategy for improving the electrochemical performances of Li anodes and NCA cathodes by optimising the electrolyte.

The numerous grainboundaries solid electrolyte interface, whether naturally occurring or artificially designed, leads to non-uniform Li metal deposition and consequently results in poor full-battery performance. Herein, a lithium-ion selective transport layer is reported to achieve a highly efficient and dendrite-free lithium metal anode. The layer-by-layer assembled protonated carbon nitride nanosheets present uniform macroscopical structure without grainboundaries. The carbon nitride with ordered pores in basal plane provides high-speed lithium-ion transport channels with low tortuosity. Consequently, the assembled 324 Wh kg −1 pouch cell exhibits 300 stable cycles with a capacity retention of 90.0% and an average Coulombic efficiency up to 99.7%. The ultra-dense Li metal anode makes current collector-free anode possible, achieving high energy density and long cycle life of a 7 Ah cell (506 Wh kg −1 , 160 cycles). Thus, it is proved that a macroscopically uniform interface layer with lithium-ion conductive channels could achieve Li metal battery with promising application potential.

The development of advanced membranes with precise ion selectivity is essential for efficient Li + /Mg 2+ separation. In this study, we synthesized a novel Lys-TMC membrane via a nucleophilic addition reaction between Lysine and trimesoyl chloride (TMC), yielding in a negatively charged surface interconnected by amide bonds. We systematically investigated the effects of varying Lys:TMC ratios on the membrane’s chemical structure, surface morphology, and ion separation performance. Our results revealed that the degree of cross-linking increases initially with the Lysine content, reaching an optimum at a Lys:TMC ratio of 10:1, where the membrane exhibited prominent Turing patterns on its surface. These patterns were critical for achieving effective ion separation. In contrast, excessive Lysine led to spontaneous polymerization, resulting in irregular ‘stone-like’ structures and the loss of Turing patterns. The optimally cross-linked Lys-TMC membrane displayed superior Li + /Mg 2+ separation performance, highlighting the crucial role of controlled cross-linking and Turing structure formation in enhancing ion selectivity. This work provides a mechanistic understanding of the relationship between Turing structure formation and ion sieving performance, offering a promising strategy for designing advanced separation membranes.
