The role of cobalt deficiency on the crystal structure, surface chemistry, and electrochemical performance of Ni-rich layered LiNiCoMnO (NCM811) positive electrode materials was experimentally studied possibly for the first time. We synthesized pristine and cobalt-deficient NCM811 samples by solid-state reaction. Using a variety of characterization techniques and electrochemical measurements, we show that cobalt nonstoichiometry can suppress Ni/Li cation mixing, but can simultaneously promote the formation of oxygen vacancies, leading to rapid capacity fade and inferior rate capability compared to pristine NCM811. This study provides new insights into the effects of cobalt deficiency on the cation mixing and electrochemical performance of a Ni-rich layered NCM compound.

The in situ fortification of vitamin B12 (VB12) in foods through fermentation is an effective strategy to address the deficiency of this micronutrient, and precise monitoring of VB12 production is crucial for developing VB12-fortified functional foods. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is advantageous for analyzing trace substances in food due to its high sensitivity. In the present study, an LC-MS/MS method capable of rapidly and accurately quantifying three active forms of VB12, namely adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl), methylcobalamin (MeCbl), hydroxocobalamin (OHCbl), in 8 min were developed.

Monocyclic π-aromatic compounds are ubiquitous throughout almost all fields of natural sciences-as synthons in industrial processes, as ligands of metal complexes for catalysis or sensing and as bioactive molecules. Planar organocycles stand out through their specific way of overcoming electron deficiency by a non-localizable set of (4n + 2)π electrons. By contrast, all-metal aromatic monocycles are still rare, as metal atoms prefer to form clusters with multiply bonded atoms instead.

In our work, we report superior electrochemical performance of optimized 3D nanostructured, nickel-cobalt carbonate hydroxide hydrate (NiCo-CHH (1 ≤ x ≤ 2)) materials with flower like morphology synthesised via one-step hydrothermal methods. A Ni rich sample (x = 1) demonstrate better specific capacitance and the improvement is attributed to more oxygen deficient neighbourhood of Ni compared to that of Co. The structural, morphological and electronic properties of the samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), field emission electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Electrochemically inserting and extracting hydrogen into and from solids are promising ways to explore materials' phases and properties. However, it is still challenging to identify the structural factors that promote hydrogen insertion and extraction and to develop materials whose functional properties can be largely modulated by inserting and extracting hydrogen through solid-state reactions at room temperature. In this study, guided by theoretical calculations on the energies of oxygen reduction and hydrogen insertion reactions with oxygen-deficient perovskite oxides, we demonstrated that the oxygen vacancy ordering in Sr(FeCo)O (SFCO) epitaxial films can be stabilized by increasing the Co content (x ≥ 0.

Ammonia borane (NHBH, AB) is considered a promising chemical hydrogen storage material. The development of efficient, stable, and economical catalysts for AB hydrolysis is essential for realizing the hydrogen energy economy. In this study, a series of p-p heterojunction catalysts, labeled M (P/S/Cl)-CuCoO, were fabricated using the high-temperature vapor phase method to achieve anionic interface gradient doping.
