To date, investigations to search for high ion-conducting solid-state electrolytes have attracted broad concern. However, obtaining SSEs with high ionic conductivity is challenging due to the complex structural information and the less-explored structure-performance relationship. To provide a solution to these challenges, developing a database containing typical SSEs from available experimental reports would be a new avenue to understand the structure-performance relationships and find out new design guidelines for reasonable SSEs. Herein, a dynamic experimental database containing &gt;600 materials was developed in a wide range of temperatures (132.40–1261.60 ​K), including mono- and divalent cations (<em>e.g</em>., Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Ag⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, and Zn²⁺) and various types of anions (<em>e.g</em>., halide, hydride, sulfide, and oxide). Data-mining was conducted to explore the relationships among different variates (<em>e.g</em>., transport ion, composition, activation energy, and conductivity). Overall, we expect that this database can provide essential guidelines for the design and development of high-performance SSEs in ASSB applications. This database is dynamically updated, which can be accessed <em>via</em> our open-source online system.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":33573,"journal":{"name":"Nano Materials Science","volume":"6 2","pages":"Pages 256-262"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S258996512300034X/pdfft?md5=5154db5151a9a588498c98ba2e500f7f&pid=1-s2.0-S258996512300034X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135248627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comprehensive surface characterizations with density functional theory demonstrated an improved electronic transition in TiO₂ due to the presence of surface defects from reactive oxygen species and possible charge transfer from Ti to Fe; it also unexpectedly increased the active site in the TiO₂ layer due to uncoordinated electrons in Sub-5 nm Fe₂O₃ NP/TiO₂ catalyst, thereby enhancing the adsorption of chemical functional groups on the catalyst.
