Li- and Mn-rich layered oxides exhibit high specific capacity due to the cationic and anionic reaction process during high-voltage cycling (≥4.6 V). However, they face challenges such as low initial coulombic efficiency (~70 %) and poor cycling stability. Here, we propose a combination of HBO treatment and low temperature calcination to construct a shell with cationic vacancy on the surface of LiNiMnO (LLNMO). The HBO treatment produces cationic vacancy and lattice distortion, forming an oxidized O (0

The exceptional performance of ceria (CeO) in catalysis and energy conversion is fundamentally governed by its defect chemistry, particularly oxygen vacancies. The formation of each oxygen vacancy (V) is assumed to be compensated by two localized electrons on cations (Ce). Here, we show by combining theory with experiment that while this 1 V: 2Ce ratio accounts for the global charge compensation, it does not apply at the local scale, particularly in nanoparticles.

Perovskites have significant potential to improve efficiency, reduce the costs of conventional oxidation catalysts, and contribute to cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions. However, numerous structural factors influencing their catalytic performance are still a subject to debate. In this study, simple perovskite nanoparticles in the form of LaCoO (LC) and LaMnO (LM), as well as LaCo Mn O (LCM)-mixed B-site perovskites with different B-site cations, were synthesized and their performances in CO oxidation and NO oxidation reactions were examined.

This paper reports on a study of the adsorption and thermal stability of phenylphosphonic acid (PPA) adsorbed by physical vapor deposition on the surfaces of epitaxial cerium oxide films of different structure, stoichiometry and composition. Advanced analytical methods based on photoelectron spectroscopy combined with DFT calculations showed that the binding of PPA to cerium oxide is through the phosphonate group, while the decomposition temperature is defined by the nature of the oxide. Tridentate PPA species are present on all substrates (CeO, CeO, CeO, and CeWO), indicating a strong affinity of PPA for cerium oxide.

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) offer tunable redox chemistry and thermal stability for catalytic applications. Here, we compare two spinel-type HEOs, MnFeCoNiCuO and MnCoNiCuZnO, with similar configurational entropy but different redox behaviors under reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) conditions. Only MnFeCoNiCuO exhibits reversible exsolution and reincorporation of Fe/Co/Ni/Cu alloy nanoparticles (NPs) during H-CO cycling, as confirmed by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy and wavelet-transformation.

Ionic doping is widely used to regulate surface acidity in catalytic materials, yet the microscopic mechanisms remain difficult to observe. Clarifying them is essential for acid catalysis design. Prior work showed that Cr doping into the AlO-based open-framework aluminoborate PKU-1 alters acidity.
