The front cover artwork is provided by the group of Prof. Tomoyuki Yatsuhashi (Osaka City University) as well as Dr. Akimasa Fujihara (Osaka Prefecture University). The image shows that the potential energy of a product ion formed by metastable ion dissociation can be larger than that of a multiply charged precursor ion.

This study introduces a new method for synthesizing Cu-containing metastable phases through ion exchange. Traditionally, CuCl has been used as a Cu ion source for solid-state ion exchanges; however, its thermodynamic driving force is often insufficient for complete ion exchange with Li-containing precursors. First-principles calculations have identified CuSO and CuPO as more powerful alternatives, providing a higher driving force than CuCl.

High-temperature structural disorders stabilize hydrous aluminosilicates in the mantle transition zone.

Hydrous aluminosilicates are important deep water-carriers in sediments subducting into the deep mantle. To date, it remains enigmatic how hydrous aluminosilicates withstand extremely high temperatures in the mantle transition zone. Here we systematically investigate the crystal structures and chemical compositions of typical hydrous aluminosilicates using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electron probe microanalyzer, and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry.

Avoiding severe structural distortion, irreversible phase transition, and realizing the stabilized multielectron redox are vital for promoting the development of high-performance NASICON-type cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, a high-entropy NaVFeTiMnCr(PO) (HE-NaTMP) cathode material is prepared by ultrafast high-temperature shock, which inhibits the possibility of phase separation and achieves reversible and stable multielectron transfer of 2.4/2.

Molecular Phosphide Complexes of Zirconium.

Department of Chemistry, University of Pennsylvania, 231 S 34th St, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, United States.

Molecular Zr phosphides are extremely rare, with no examples containing a one-coordinated and terminal triple-bonded phosphorus atom. We report here an isolable and relatively stable Zr phosphide complex, [(PN)Zr≡P{μ-Na(OEt)}] (), stemming from a cyclometalated Zr-hydride, [(PN)(PN')Zr(H)] (), and NaPH. Complex is prepared from two- or one-electron reductions of precursors [(PN)ZrCl] () or metastable Zr[(PN)ZrCl], respectively.

Irradiation of condensed matter with ionizing radiation generally causes direct photoionization as well as secondary processes that often dominate the ionization dynamics. Here, large helium (He) nanodroplets with radius ≳ 40 nm doped with lithium (Li) atoms are irradiated with extreme ultraviolet (XUV) photons of energy hν ≥ 44.4 eV and indirect ionization of the Li dopants is observed in addition to direct photoionization of the He droplets.
