A new high-pressure polymorph with a modified spinel structure, beta-Mn(2)GeO(4), is stable in a pressure range intermediate between the field of the polymorph with the olivine structure and that of another high-pressure polymorph. Oxygen atoms are located approximately in cubic close packing with manganese and germanium atoms in octahedral and tetrahedral interstices, respectively, as in the spinel structure; however, germanium atoms form Ge(2)O(7) groups instead of isolated GeO(4) groups.

Activated by the Li-O-Li configuration with nonbonding O2p state (lO2p), anionic redox reaction (ARR) in Li-rich layered oxides (LLOs) contributes to additional capacity but exhibits significant irreversibility, leading to severe surface oxygen loss. Herein, surface nonbonding oxygen state (SNBOS) is regulated by the integrated surface structure engineering to suppress surface oxygen loss and enhance the reversibility of ARR. On the outermost layer, the conversion of layered structure into a LiLaO2 layer and spinel phase structure eliminates lO2p, thereby preventing the activation of ARR and suppressing side reaction between electrolyte and oxidized oxygen ions.

The design of nanomaterials enclosed by high-index facets plays a critical role in the surface-sensitive properties. Herein, hierarchical CuCoO microflowers (CCO-F) with highly exposed high-index (112) facets are rationally designed via a solvothermal method followed by calcination. CCO-F are composed of 30 nm-thick nanoflakes and have an ultrahigh specific surface area of .

Photocatalysis technology provides a promising and green strategy for the abatement of low-concentration NO pollutants in the ambient air. An earthworm-like oxynitride decorated with in situ grown Cu nanoparticles is synthesized through the ammonolysis of the CuO-doped ZnGaO spinel. The optimized morphology promoted the exposure of active sites and expanded the reaction interface for efficient NO adsorption and photocatalytic conversion.

Spinel oxide has attracted interest in wastewater treatment, owing to its visible light (VIS) adsorption properties and bimetallic synergism. However, owing to the inefficient separation of photogenerated carriers and poor redox property, there is an urgent need to develop appropriate modification strategies to address these bottlenecks. This study aimed to develop CuFeO/CuFeSx (CFO/CFSx) heterojunction with oxygen vacancies (OVs) via an in-situ structural modification to trigger the generation of more radicals with low oxidant consumption for the efficient degradation of refractory organics.
