The new borates Fe(II)(6)B(22)O(39)·H(2)O (colourless) and Co(II)(6)B(22)O(39)·H(2)O (dichroic: red/bluish) were synthesised under the high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 6 GPa and 880 °C (Fe)/950 °C (Co) in a Walker-type multi-anvil apparatus. The compounds crystallise in the orthorhombic space group Pmn2(1) (Z=2) with the lattice parameters a=771.9(2), b=823.4(2), c=1768.0(4) pm, V=1.1237(4) nm(3), R(1)=0.0476, wR(2)=0.0902 (all data) for Fe(6)B(22)O(39)·H(2)O and a=770.1(2), b=817.6(2), c=1746.9(4) pm, V=1.0999(4) nm(3), R(1)=0.0513, wR(2)=0.0939 (all data) for Co(6)B(22)O(39)·H(2)O. The new structure type of M(6)B(22)O(39)·H(2)O (M=Fe, Co) is built up from corner-sharing BO(4) tetrahedra and BO(3) groups, the latter being distorted and close to BO(4) tetrahedra if additional oxygen atoms of the neighbouring BO(4) tetrahedra are considered in the coordination sphere. This situation can be regarded as an intermediate state in the formation of edge-sharing tetrahedra. The structure consists of corrugated multiple layers interconnected by BO(3)/BO(4) groups to form Z-shaped channels. Inside these channels, iron and cobalt show octahedral (M1, M3, M4, M5) and strongly distorted tetrahedral (M2, M6) coordination by oxygen atoms. Co(II)(6)B(22)O(39)·H(2)O is dichroic and the low symmetry of the chromophore [Co(II)O(4)] is reflected by the polarised absorption spectra (Δ(t)=4650 cm(-1), B=878 cm(-1)).

The delamination cracking from planar gliding along the (003) facets and anisotropic lattice strain perpendicular to the (003) facets inevitable lead to degradation of Ni-rich single-crystal cathode materials, adversely affecting their cyclability. Herein, we rationally design a single-crystal LiNiCoMnO (SC90) cathode with robust chemo-mechanical properties, in which coherently grown MgO octahedra and BO tetrahedra are incorporated into the lattice, and a stabilizing Mg(BO) layer is concurrently formed on the particle surface. Multiscale in/ex situ characterizations and theoretical calculations indicate that introducing the MgO and BO units leads to a "pinning effect" within the layered structure.

Two remarkable aluminum borophosphates (AlBPOs), namely, Na[AlBPO(OH)](HO) (denoted as ABPO1) and Na[AlBPO](HO) (denoted as ABPO2), have been designed and prepared by low-temperature flux syntheses. The exceptional open framework structure of ABPO1 is formed by a unique microanionic network [AlBPO(OH)], which contains three types of 8-, 12-, and 16-membered ring (MR) tunnels. Interestingly, these tunnels are featured by a type of super-nanocage as large as ∼1.

Na V (PO ) O F (NVPOF) is widely accepted as advanced cathode material for sodium-ion batteries with high application prospects ascribing to its considerable specific capacity and high working voltage. However, challenges in the full realization of its theoretical potential lie in the novel structural design to accelerate its Na diffusivity. Herein, considering the important role of polyanion groups in constituting Na diffusion tunnels, boron (B) is doped at the P-site to obtain Na V (P B O )O F (NVP B OF).
