In a conventional solvent extraction system, metal ions are distributed between two immiscible phases, typically an aqueous and an organic phase. In this paper, the proof-of-principle is given for the distribution of metal ions between three immiscible phases, two ionic liquid phases with an aqueous phase in between them. Three-liquid-phase solvent extraction allows separation of a mixture of three metal ions in a single step, whereas at least two steps are required to separate three metals in the case of two-liquid-phase solvent extraction. In the triphasic system, the lower organic phase is comprised of the ionic liquid betainium- or choline bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, whereas the upper organic phase is comprised of the ionic liquid trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide. The triphasic system was used for the separation of a mixture of tin(II), yttrium(III), and scandium(III) ions.

Hybrid artificial layer based on inorganic/polymer composite endows superior toughness and mechanical strength, which can achieve high stability of lithium metal anode. However, the large particle size and uneven distribution of inorganic fillers hinder the uniform flow of lithium ions across the membrane, making it difficult to achieve smooth lithium metal deposition/stripping. In this work, a chemical lithiation-induced defluorination strategy is proposed to engineer poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF)-based artificial layers, enabling in situ incorporation of highly dispersed LiF nanofiller within the polymer matrix and precise control over the LiF content.

Metal ions play a vital role in the health of the modern human body, but deficiencies in mineral elements have created health risks worldwide. However, mineral supplements currently available on the market are very limited due to poor solubility, low bioavailability, and the possibility of adverse effects on the gastrointestinal tract. In contrast, protein-derived metal-chelating peptides have received a lot of attention because of their stability, safety, and very high bioavailability.

The design of a rare combination of interpenetrated and catenated 3D+2D→3D MOF {[Cd(dim)(dht)(HO)](Sol)} (1), with a unique network and extreme pH stability, has been developed for exceptional ionic conduction across a wide range of temperature and humidity conditions. The bare pore derivative of 1 (1') features remarkable structural flexibility and large pores accessible to encapsulate molecules such as NH, HCl, and KOH, enabling it to function as an efficient conductor for both proton and hydroxide ions. 1' demonstrates substantial thermal-influenced proton conductivity of 4.

Coordination polymers (CPs) are versatile materials formed by metal ions and organic ligands, offering a broad range of structural and functional possibilities. Phosphonates and phosphinates are particularly attractive ligands for CPs due to their multiple binding sites, varied coordination geometries, and ability to form robust network structures. Phosphonates, considered harder ligands, form strong bonds with hard metals such as Fe, while phosphinates offer additional versatility due to the varied pendant groups on phosphorus.

Effective removal of trace heavy metal ions from aqueous bodies is a pressing problem and requires significant improvement in the area of absorbent material in terms of removal efficiency and sustainability. We propose an efficient strategy to enhance the adsorption efficiency of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by growing dendrimers on their surface. First, CNTs were pre-functionalized with maleic acid (MA) via Diels-Alder reaction in presence of a deep eutectic solvent under ultrasonication.
