NASICON-type NaTi(PO) is recognized as a promising energy storage anode due to its high ionic conductivity and low cost. In this work, N-modified carbon-coated sodium titanium phosphate (NTPGN) composites were prepared by the sol-gel method by using sodium glutamate as a source of nitrogen and partial carbons. The addition of sodium glutamate forms a loose structure of nano-spherical flowers on the surface of sodium titanium phosphate, which shows a higher specific capacity, better rate performance, and excellent cycling performance compared to the carbon-coated titanium phosphate derived only from citric acid. The discharge capacities of NTPGN at 0.1 C, 5 C, 10 C, 20 C, and 30 C are 132.8, 132, 131.4, 105.9, and 98.2 mA h g, respectively. In particular, after 1000 cycles at 20 C, the discharge capacity is 102.6 mA h g with a capacity retention rate of 96%. This work reveals that the combination of carbon coating and nitrogen doping using sodium glutamate improves the electrochemical performance of electrode materials.

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.

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.

Aqueous sodium-ion batteries (ASIBs) show great promise as candidates for large-scale energy storage. However, the potential of ASIB is impeded by the limited availability of suitable anode types and the occurrence of dissolution side reactions linked to hydrogen evolution. In this study, we addressed these challenges by developing a Bi-coating modified anode based on a sodium titanium phosphate (NTP)-carbon fibers (CFs) hybrid electrode (NTP-CFs/Bi).
