Metal phosphates have many applications in catalysis, separation, and proton conduction, but their small surface areas and/or constrained pore structures limit their utilization. Here, we report two new methods for the liquid-phase grafting of titanium phosphate onto mesoporous silica (SBA-15) surfaces: (1) alternate grafting of Ti(OPr(i))(4) and then POCl(3) and (2) one-pot grafting of titanium phosphate formed in situ by employing Ti(OPr(i))(4) (a base) and POCl(3) (an acid) as an appropriate "acid-base pair". Both the size of mesopores and the content of titanium phosphate can be changed by increasing the number of modification cycles in a stepwise (or layer-by-layer) fashion. The obtained products were characterized by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, N(2) adsorption-desorption, transmission electron microscopy, (31)P and (29)Si magic-angle spinning NMR, and NH(3) temperature-programmed desorption, and their performance in acid catalysis and metal ion adsorption was investigated. This work provides new methodologies for the general synthesis of supported metal phosphates with large surface areas, ordered nanoporous structures, and acid properties.

Aqueous halogen batteries are gaining recognition for large-scale energy storage due to their high energy density, safety, environmental sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. However, the limited electrochemical stability window of aqueous electrolytes and the absence of desirable carbonaceous hosts that facilitate halogen redox reactions have hindered the advancement of halogen batteries. Here, a low-cost, high-concentration 26 m Li-B-C-O aqueous solution incorporating lithium bromide (LiBr), lithium chloride (LiCl), and lithium acetate (LiOAc) was developed for aqueous batteries, which demonstrated an expanded electrochemical stability window of .

Solid-state electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries, which enable a significant increase in storage capacity, are at the forefront of alternative energy storage systems due to their attractive properties such as wide electrochemical stability window, relatively superior contact stability against Li metal, inherently dendrite inhibition, and a wide range of temperature functionality. NASICON-type solid electrolytes are an exciting candidate within ceramic electrolytes due to their high ionic conductivity and low moisture sensitivity, making them a prime candidate for pure oxidic and hybrid ceramic-in-polymer composite electrolytes. Here, we report on producing pure and Y-doped Lithium Aluminum Titanium Phosphate (LATP) nanoparticles by spray-flame synthesis.

Article Synopsis
- Metal-ion batteries, like lithium-ion batteries, struggle with performance in low temperatures, limiting their use in cold environments.
- Utilizing materials with negative-thermal-expansion (NTE) properties, such as LiTi(PO) (LTP), can improve battery performance in these conditions by enhancing transport channels and Li-insertion sites.
- Carbon-coated LTP demonstrates excellent electrochemical performance at -10°C, including high Li diffusivity, large capacity retention, and improved cycling stability, making it a promising solution for low-temperature battery applications.

The novel crosslinked composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) was developed and investigated using polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF) and polyethyleneglycol diacrylate (PEGDA), incorporating lithium aluminum titanium phosphate (LATP) particles and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt. Composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) for solid-state lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) were synthesized by harnessing the synergistic effects of PTHF crosslinking and the addition of LATP ceramics, while systematically varying the film composition and LATP content. CPEs containing 15 wt% LATP (PPL15) demonstrated improved mechanical strength and electrochemical stability, achieving a high conductivity of 1.

We developed a novel strategy for synthesizing a highly acidic microporous hybrid titanium phosphate material (H-TiPOx) by incorporating 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) into the titanium phosphate framework. This new H-TiPOx serves as a Brønsted acid catalyst, exhibiting remarkable total surface acidity of 5.9 mmol g and it efficiently catalyzes the acetalization of abundant biomass derived glycerol to solketal with over 99% selectivity.
