However, this process suffers from uncontrolled intermediate particle coarsening and the resultant sluggish oxygen-ion diffusion kinetics. To address this, we engineered a novel hierarchically porous Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> (HPS-Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>) cathode with interconnected macropores (∼10<sup>2</sup> μm), mesopores (∼10<sup>1</sup> μm), and micropores (submicron). Electrochemical analyses coupled with potentiostatic electrolysis reveal a four-step reduction pathway of Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> in molten Na<sub>3</sub>AlF<sub>6</sub>-K<sub>3</sub>AlF<sub>6</sub>-AlF<sub>3</sub> salts: Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>→Na<sub>2</sub>Nb<sub>8</sub>O<sub>21</sub>/NbO<sub>2</sub>→NbO→Nb, where solid-state oxygen diffusion remains rate-limiting. The novel cathode pore architecture optimizes the solid-liquid interfaces between the cathode and the electrolyte, facilitating uniform insertion of Na⁺/F⁻ ions into cathode particles to generate intermediate particles. Consequently, rhombohedral Na<sub>2</sub>Nb<sub>8</sub>O<sub>21</sub> intermediate with uniform size and morphology was formed, thereby effectively preventing the excessive coarsening of intermediate particles and associated oxygen diffusion path elongation that occurs in the conventional electro-deoxidation processes. Remarkably, complete reduction of 1 g Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> to Nb powder was achieved in only 1.5 h at 2.5 V. This represents an 8-13-fold efficiency enhancement over the reported processes. The resultant niobium powder exhibits uniform submicron particles (200-500 nm) with near-spherical morphology. This pore-structure-regulated strategy overcomes fundamental bottlenecks in the FFC process and offers broad applicability for the efficient preparation of diverse refractory metals and alloys.","PeriodicalId":305,"journal":{"name":"Electrochimica Acta","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moisture-electric generators (MEGs) are capable of converting this latent heat into electricity without environmental constraints. However, the key to promoting the large-scale application of MEGs lies in the development of active materials and the optimization of device structure. In this work a new type of MEG was constructed utilizing an ionic hydrogel and vermiculite-cellulose nanofiber/carbon nanotube (VM-CNF/CNT) composite membrane. The specific asymmetric structure enables a dynamic balance between moisture absorption and water evaporation, generating a humidity gradient and an ion concentration gradient within the composite membrane, thereby producing a continuous electric current. At 90% RH, a single device can generate an open-circuit voltage (<em>V</em><small><sub>OC</sub></small>) of approximately 0.60 V and a continuous short-circuit current (<em>J</em><small><sub>SC</sub></small>) of about 19.6 μA cm<small><sup>−2</sup></small>.

Ionic liquids are a viable alternative to conventional carbonate solvents due to their thermal stability and electrochemical window. This work reports the performance of LNMO/Li half cells with an ionic liquid electrolyte (ILE) composed of 0.79 molal LiFSI in trimethyl isobutyl phosphonium bis-fluorosulfonyl imide (P111i4FSI). The long-term stability of the cells cycled at 25 °C in ILE is superior compared to all the other cycling conditions, as shown by the Coulombic efficiency (>99.5%) and capacity retention after 210 cycles (>87.9%). Spectroscopy measurements showed that the LNMO in the LP40 cycled cells had severe structural damage, with visible holes in the surface region of the particle, extending 15-20 nm away from the surface. On the other hand, the structure of the LNMO used in the cells with ILE was similar to that of the pristine spinel after 210 cycles, the only difference being a rock-salt layer on the surface. The surface chemistry of the LNMO particles was analyzed by electron energy-loss spectroscopy and revealed that the surface region of the LNMO cycled in LP40 adopted a (MnxNiy)3O4-type structure in the previously described holes, while the surface chemistry was nearly unaffected by cycling in ILE. XPS highlighted the influence of the electrolyte on the nature of the cathode electrolyte interface (CEI), which showed the presence of a predominantly organic CEI after cycling in LP40. The CEI formed after cycling in ILE was thinner and dominated by species like Li2CO3 and salt decomposition products. Overall, the cycling stability of LNMO with LiFSI in P111i4FSI was improved, and the structural integrity was maintained with this electrolyte, as opposed to the conventional LP40.","PeriodicalId":5,"journal":{"name":"ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145008801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we achieve this target through an in situ copolymerization of vinyl ethylene carbonate (VEC) together with acrylonitrile (AN) under fitting ratios inside a porous polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber membrane doped with flame-retardant decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) molecules. The received fiber-reinforced polycarbonate-based composite electrolyte with an ultrathin thickness of 13 μm exhibits good internal interfacial compatibility because of the same AN structure and superior flame-retardant performance due to the doped DBDPE molecules. The dual lithium salt strategy facilitates the formation of a stable interface layer on the lithium anode surface. The electrolyte also exhibits high thermal stability, a high ion transference number (0.75), a wide voltage window (up to 4.9 V), and high ionic conductivity (6.3 × 10-4 S cm-1 at room temperature). As a result, its Li//Li symmetric cells could maintain stable cycling for over 2500 h, and its LiFePO4//Li full cells also exhibit an initial capacity of 135 mAh g-1 and a retention of 82.9% after 300 cycles at 2 C and 25 °C.

In this study, we theoretically designed a Ni triple-atom doped Cu<sub>2</sub>O catalyst, Ni TAC@Cu<sub>2</sub>O, which exhibits exceptional urea synthesis performance. Using density functional theory and the constant potential method, we show that the superior catalytic performance of Ni TAC@Cu<sub>2</sub>O stems from synergistic metal–support interactions (MSIs) between Ni atoms and Cu<sub>2</sub>O.

A model was developed based on the interfacial energies and solidification microstructure size to calculate <em>f<sub>l,brid</sub></em> across different alloy compositions and, in turn, accurately predict the solidification cracking behavior. The higher sensitivity of grain boundaries to cracking compared to dendritic boundaries inside the grain can be easily shown with the model. The model also accurately predicts the composition with the highest cracking susceptibility (C<sub>SCSmax</sub>) in various binary aluminium alloy systems. Furthermore, based on this model, changes in C<sub>SCSmax</sub> under different processing conditions (i.e., thermal gradient and solidification rate) were accurately predicted by accounting for changes in microstructure size and possible back diffusion occurrence.
