The lithium-ion sieve primarily exists in powder form, which poses challenges such as poor fluidity and permeability, as well as difficulties in recovery. The H₂TiO₃ (HTO) particles were introduced into polyacrylamide (PAM) via in situ polymerization to prepare a tough and porous nanocomposite hydrogel (HTO@PAM). This method effectively addresses the recovery difficulties associated with powdered lithium-ion sieves and, due to the hydrophilic groups in polyacrylamide, enhances the desorption of Li + and improves the adsorption performance. The results show that HTO@PAM-4 is the optimal ratio, with an adsorption performance of 32.8 mg/g. Tensile strength tests using a universal testing machine indicated that HTO@PAM-4 has a tensile strength of 0.19 MPa, demonstrating excellent mechanical properties. Infrared spectroscopy detected the presence of hydrophilic groups (-CONH 2 ) in HTO@PAM, and surface tension measurements showed a water contact angle of 8.9 °, indicating good hydrophilicity. The recyclability of HTO@PAM-4 was investigated, and after six cycles, the adsorption capacity was 25.4 mg/g, which is 77 % of the maximum adsorption performance, demonstrating recyclability. The results indicate that HTO@PAM exhibits excellent mechanical properties, adsorption performance, and recyclability, making it a material with promising practical applications.

Lithium, a highly sought-after element for various industries, is primarily sourced from salt-lake brines, where its extraction faces the critical challenge of separating Li + from high concentrations of Mg 2+ . In this work, we present a crown ether functionalized polymer membrane with a hierarchical pore structure, designed for highly selective Li + /Mg 2+ separation. By grafting 12-crown-4-ether onto a microporous polyimide, ether rings matching the size of Li + are incorporated within the interconnected intrinsic micropores, facilitating Li + permeation while restricting Mg 2+ transport. The addition of PEG4000 during membrane formation creates unconnected macropores, reducing effective membrane thickness while preventing pore linkages that could lead to Mg 2+ leakage. Consequently, the Li + permeation rate significantly increases from 0.0095nmol cm −1 s −1 to 0.257 nmol cm −1 s −1 , while Mg 2+ permeation remains low at 0.0014 nmol cm −1 s −1 , achieving a remarkable Li + /Mg 2+ selectivity of up to 184. This study offers a straightforward and efficient approach for developing Li + selective membranes for efficient lithium extraction.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted significant attention due to their high theoretical energy density, low cost and environmental friendliness, which are considered one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices. However, the sluggish kinetics associated with sulfur oxidation–reduction reactions and the detrimental shuttle effect caused by lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) significantly impacts the electrochemical performance of Li-S batteries. In this work, Co single-atom catalyst (Co SAC -NC) on an ordered macro-microporous structure are designed, and the catalyst are coated onto 2325 separator. The ordered micro-microporous structure of Co SAC -NC enhances the interaction with LiPSs and provide reservoir for LiPSs. Secondly, the highly exposed Co-N x configuration active sites can effectively anchor LiPSs and promotes their rapid conversion. This work significantly improves the utilization efficiency of the cathode, resulting in an exceptionally low-capacity decay rate of just 0.043 % per cycle over 1000 cycles at 1 C.

Fluorinated carbon (CF x ) is considered to be a promising cathode material for lithium primary batteries, which has an ultra-high theoretical energy density of 2180 Wh kg −1 . However, the C-F bonds in CF x materials are strongly covalent, leading to a low intrinsic conductivity and poor electrochenical performance. In this work, a high entropy electrolyte (HE) has proposed to maintain the original discharge platform and exhibit a second discharge voltage platform that appeared around 1.7 V, which effectively improves the specific capacity of Li/CF x batteries (1035 mAh g −1 ). This significant improvement can be attributed to the chelation of the dioxygen atoms in the solvent with the Li + , resulting in the solvated Li + being co-intercalated into the lamellar structure of the graphite. Notably, the Li/CF x batteries in the HE electrolyte exhibit higher specific capacity than the single lithium salt at −40 °C and 80 °C (539 mAh g −1 , 1132 mAh g −1 ). This is mainly due to high entropy changes the point of the electrolyte solidifies, thus avoiding capacity loss caused by solid-phase electrolyte clogging the electrode holes. This work provides an efficient and reliable method for the design of Li/CF x batteries with high specific capacity.

The development of disordered Li dendrite and the adverse reaction between Li and electrolyte impede practical use of Li metal batteries (LMB). Herein, we propose quasi-two-dimensional fluorinated metal-organic framework carbon (q2D-FcMOF) that is utilized to construct artificial solid electrolyte interface (ASEI) to achieve robust interfacial protective double-layer. The outer organic layer provides ample space for Li deposition, while the inner inorganic LiF layer promotes conduction of Li + and blocks electron transport. Metal clusters within the hybrid layer are uniformly dispersed, encouraging Li + to cluster around metal active sites that are thermodynamically compatible with Li. Consequently, q2D-FcZ8@Li symmetrical batteries demonstrate an ultralong cycle life over 3600 h. When paried with commercial cathodes, the cells exhibite cyclability under conditions of high-loading, lean-electrolyte, even exposure to air for some time. This research suggests an effective method for fabricating ASEI using 2D quasi-ordered superstructure MOF NPs, which is expected to the development of LMB.

Rechargeable aprotic lithium (Li)-oxygen battery (LOB) is a potential next-generation energy storage technology because of its high theoretical specific energy. However, the role of redox mediator on the oxide electrochemistry remains unclear. This is partly due to the intrinsic complexity of the battery chemistry and the lack of in-depth studies of oxygen electrodes at the atomic level by reliable techniques. Herein, cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) is used to study how the redox mediator LiI affects the oxygen electrochemistry in LOBs. It is revealed that with or without LiI in the electrolyte, the discharge products are plate-like LiOH or toroidal Li 2 O 2 , respectively. The I 2 assists the decomposition of LiOH via the formation of LiIO 3 in the charge process. In addition, a LiI protective layer is formed on the Li anode surface by the shuttle of I 3 − , which inhibits the parasitic Li/electrolyte reaction and improves the cycle performance of the LOBs. The LOBs returned to 2e − oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to produce Li 2 O 2 after the LiI in the electrolyte is consumed. This work provides new insight on the role of redox mediator on the complex electrochemistry in LOBs which may aid the design LOBs for practical applications.

Lithium-selenium (Li-Se) batteries have attracted increasing attention because of excellent carbonate electrolyte compatibility, comparable theoretical volumetric specific capacity and high electrical conductivity. However, there are still unavoidable issues such as large volume expansion, rapid capacity decay and slow electrochemical reaction kinetics for practical applications. In this work, we report 2D ZIF-8 derived N-doped porous carbon nanosheets (NPC-NS) as Se host for high-performance Li-Se batteries. The unique 2D structure of Se@NPC-NS facilitates Li + diffusion and charge transfer, thus the Se@NPC-NS cathode exhibits fast electrochemical reaction kinetics. In addition, the N doping enhances electronic conductivity and porous structure mitigates the volume expansion. As a result, the Se@NPC-NS cathode delivers a high reversible capacity of 585 mAh/g with a capacity retention of 99.1 % at 0.5C (1C = 675 mA g −1 ) after 225 cycles. Especially after 500 cycles at a high current density of 10C, the Se@NPC-NS cathode still displays a reversible specific capacity of 307 mAh/g with only 0.03 % capacity decay per cycle. This work would shed some light on the 2D carbon host as Se-based cathode for high-rate and long-life performance Li-Se batteries.

Positively charged and non-toxic intermediate layers are highly desirable for the construction of nanofiltration membranes in the field of Mg 2+ /Li + separation. Herein, we have prepared dual-electric layer nanofiltration membranes via introducing positively charged quaternized cellulose nanocrystals (Q-CNC) beyond the negatively charged polyamide skin layers. On the one hand, the strong interactions between Q-CNC and piperazine (PIP) could regulate the thickness, roughness, and residual groups of the polyamide (PA) layers, resulting in improved water flux. On the other hand, the Q-CNC has lots of positive charges which are beneficial for enhancing the rejections of negatively charged polyamide skin layers towards divalent cations since the Donnan and electrostatic effects are long-range forces. Moreover, this effect could be amplified by reducing the thickness of skin layers or decreasing the contents of residual carboxyl groups via adjusting the monomer concentrations. The obtained nanofiltration membranes possess high water flux of 51 L/m 2 /h/bar, and rejection for MgCl 2 of 86 %. The separation factor of Mg 2+ /Li + is 29 when the Mg 2+ /Li + mass ratio in the feed solution is 20:1. Moreover, the nanofiltration membrane with Q-CNC intermediate layers (QNFM) has good antibacterial properties, showing great potential in the fields of lithium extraction from salt lakes.

Stretchable electromagnetic shields have garnered significant attention in the burgeoning field of flexible devices, while traditional strategies developed to maintain adequate electromagnetic shielding performance under large strains are more challenging at low temperatures. Herein, elastic electromagnetic shielding films with segregated conductive network were produced by an extremely simple method of evaporating carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber latex containing lithium bis(trifloromethanesulfonyl)imide doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate). The films of 0.2 mm in thickness are highly stretchable at −20 °C and exhibit an electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency of more than 30 dB at 100 % strain and −10 °C. These properties underscore the potential of the films as effective stretchable EMI shields in low-temperature conditions. Experiments demonstrating the films' ability to block Bluetooth signals from ESP32 chip microcontrollers and electromagnetic waves from Tesla coils further confirm their usefulness, highlighting the practicality of protecting flexible devices in cold environments.

Li metal batteries (LMBs) have attracted much attention due to the ultra-high theoretical capacity of the Li metal anode (LMA). However, the uncontrollable dendrites growth and low coulombic efficiency hinder their practical application. Here, we explore 3,5-difluoropyridine (2F-BD) as a novel electrolyte additive to enable high-performance LMBs. The 2F-BD additive participates in and modifies the solvation structure of Li ions by reducing the coordinated number of PF 6 − at the electrode surface , leading to the formation of a LiF and Li 3 N-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The LiF component increases the robustness of SEI and suppresses the formation of Li dendrites, while the Li 3 N component facilitates the transportation and reaction kinetics of Li ions . As a result, the Li||Li symmetric cell presents a stable cycling performance of up to 500 h at a current density of 1 mA cm −2 . After coupling with LiFePO 4 cathode, the obtained full cell achieves high specific capacities of 106.06 mA h g −1 and 84.98 mA h g −1 at 2.55 mA cm −2 and 5.10 mA cm −2 , respectively, and maintains a high capacity retention of 84.0% after 1000 cycles at 0.13 mA cm −2 , with an average cycling CE of 99.58%.

Efficient extraction of lithium and boron resources from salt-lakes is a prominent topic of research among scholars. In this study, a process route for the simultaneous extraction of lithium and boric acid was employed, followed by their separation through stepwise stripping. During the experiments, a coupling effect in the extraction of Li + and H 3 BO 3 was found, leading to an in-depth investigation of their mutual promotion mechanisms. Three significant patterns have been clearly verified through experiments, molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemical calculations: First, the acidic extractant N221 can not only extract Li + , but also enhance the extraction of H 3 BO 3 ; Second, mono-fatty alcohol R-OH as dilute can effectively extract H 3 BO 3 while also promoting the extraction of Li + . Lastly, Li + and H 3 BO 3 can mutually promote each other's extraction. Using the Qinghai old brine, N221 system achieved a 99 % extraction efficiency for H 3 BO 3 , with an initial lithium extraction of 97 %, around 80 % in subsequent rounds. This paper proposes an effective method for the extraction of Li + and boric acid, and thoroughly studied the mechanism of their mutual promotion of extraction. This research offers new insights into the comprehensive utilization of salt-lake resources.

Ca 3 Nb 2 O 8 :Sm 3+ phosphor is synthesized by solid-state reaction method in air. Host Ca 3 Nb 2 O 8 emits blue light with excitation 260 and 314 nm, and its emission band peaking at ∼460 nm is attributed to the 3 T 1,2 → 1 A 1 transations in [Nb 2 O 8 6− ] group. Ca 3 Nb 2 O 8 :Sm 3+ phosphor with excitation 314 nm shows a systematically tunable emission by adjusting Sm 3+ ion concentration , and only emits reddish-orange light with excitation 407 nm. Excitation band indicates that Ca 3 Nb 2 O 8 :Sm 3+ phosphor may be effectively excited by (∼407 nm) near ultraviolet light-emitting diode chip. The optimal Sm 3+ ion concentration is ∼5 mol% in Ca 3 Nb 2 O 8 :Sm 3+ phosphor. Emission intensity of Ca 3 Nb 2 O 8 :Sm 3+ phosphor may be increased ∼1.4 times by co-doping Li + ions as charge compensator and fluxing agent roles. The experimental results will contribute to studying novel Sm 3+ -doped luminescent materials.
