Lactate influences the behavior of various immune cell types. In a recent Nature Immunology study, Ma et al. revealed that lithium carbonate induces monocarboxylate transporter 1 translocation to mitochondria, enhancing cytoplasmic lactate transport into the mitochondria and increasing lactate mitochondrial metabolism, thereby promoting T cell effector function.

In this study, the homogeneous carboxylation of potassium, sodium, and lithium phenolates in DMSO solution at 100 °C by the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction was investigated. The impact of water, phenolate concentration, and cation nature on the yield of products and reaction selectivity was demonstrated. Based on the patterns observed, it was concluded that a complex cluster mechanism governs the carboxylation reaction in the solution.

An experimental investigation is conducted to identify the optimal blend of fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), 3,3,3-trifluoropropylene carbonate (TFEC), and various fluorinated ethers, including 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether (HFE), 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether (TTE), and bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) ether (BTE), to enhance the performances of lithium-ion cells at high voltage. The cell incorporating TTE exhibits a significantly superior capacity for retention after long-term cycling at 4.5 V, which might be attributed to the improved kinetics of lithium ions and the generation of a thin, reliable, and inorganic-rich electrode-electrolyte interface.

Eutectic-based polymer electrolytes have emerged as promising solid electrolytes because of their ionic liquid-like properties, while modifications are essential to further increase their ionic conductivity at room temperature and solve their compatibility with lithium anode. In this work, an in situ polymerized composite electrolyte is modified by the addition of fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) whose beneficial effect is systematically investigated in different contents. Poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), deep eutectic solvent (LiTFSI:-methylacetamide = 1:3), and alumina fiber work as the monomer, solvent, and three-dimensional skeleton, respectively.

With the rapid development of new energy industry, the demand for lithium resources continues to rise. The salinity-gradient solar pond (SGSP) technology is used to extract the lithium carbonate from Zabuye salt lake brine in the Tibet Plateau of China. Years of production practice proved that due to the unsatisfactory quality and insufficient amount of lithium-rich brine used to make the SGSP, the yield and grade of lithium concentrate in the solar pond has been seriously affected.

The SiO/graphite composite is recognized as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), owing to the high theoretical capacity of SiO combined with the excellent stability of graphite. However, the inherent disadvantage of volume expansion in silicon-based anodes places significant challenges on the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and severely degrades the electrochemical performance. Rational formulation of electrolyte, including its additives, is crucial in accommodating and optimizing the composition of the SEI and enhancing the cell performance.
