Salt lake lithium extraction accounts for 35% of global LiCO production, but current adsorbents are limited by single coordination environments. Here, we engineer the coordination environment of titanium spinel (HLiTiO, HTO) by selectively exposing (110) and (111) crystal facets to modulate the tetrahedral and octahedral Li sites. The (111) facet exhibits high adsorption capacity (41.34 mg/g), while the (110) facet offers rapid kinetics (equilibrium in 10 min). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, Raman spectroscopy, and /Li solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy reveal that tetrahedral sites lower dehydration energy and enhance mobility, while octahedral sites enable deeper diffusion and higher capacity. Coordination modulation thus enables a synergistic improvement in Li adsorption performance. This work highlights facet engineering as a strategy to enhance ion recovery and guide next-generation adsorbent design.

Vanadium (V) is a trace element in the environment; it is detected in soil, water, air, dust, and food products. V-containing compounds have shown therapeutic potential in the treatment of diabetes. However, studies on the effects of V on animal behavior remain limited and sporadic.

Background: Electronic health records (EHRs) are a cornerstone of modern health care delivery, but their current configuration often fragments information across systems, impeding timely and effective clinical decision-making. In gynecological oncology, where care involves complex, multidisciplinary coordination, these limitations can significantly impact the quality and efficiency of patient management. Few studies have examined how EHR systems support clinical decision-making from the perspective of end users.

Aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence (AIECL) is a promising strategy for enhancing electrochemiluminescence (ECL) efficiency by minimizing energy loss of excited-state ECL emitters. However, rational design of high-efficiency AIECL emitters is hindered by limited mechanistic understanding and an unclear structure-performance relationship. To address this, four supramolecular coordination frameworks (SCFs) with varying π-bridge structures are synthesized using pyridine-functionalized tetraphenylethene (TPE) as the ligand and Pt(II) as the coordination center.

Membrane technology for gas separation is more efficient and energy-saving than thermally driven processes, including cryogenic distillation and adsorption. Metal-organic framework (MOF) and related glass membranes hold great potential for precise gas separation, but it remains challenging to construct ultrathin MOF glass membranes and optimize their transport pathways. In this study, a strategy based on vapor-linker deposition and melt-quenching is reported to design ultrathin zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) glass membranes with node-missing defect passageways.
