Preparation of lithium ferromanganese phosphate by non-stoichiometric strategy

LixFexMn1-xPO4 exhibits low production costs, environmental friendliness, high energy density, thermal stability, and cycling stability in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), presenting broad application prospects. Furthermore, studies have shown that adopting a non-stoichiometric ratio strategy can reduce particle size, decrease anti-site defects, and generate a conductive impurity phase on the material surface. This leads to an enhancement in the electrochemical performance of the material, making it an effective approach to achieving high-performance olivine-type cathode materials. In this study, three materials were successfully prepared using the solid-phase method: Li1.05Fe0.5Mn0.475PO4/C, Li1.05Fe0.5Mn0.5PO4/C, and Li1.05Fe0.475Mn0.5PO4/C. The physical properties of the materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical performance including specific capacity, rate performance, and cycling performance were studied through charge-discharge tests, with Li1.05Fe0.5Mn0.475PO4/C exhibiting the best specific capacity at all rates. At rates of 0.1 C, 0.5 C, 1 C, 2 C, and 5 C, its average reversible specific capacities were 143.5, 129.5, 122.1, 112.8, and 97.3 mAh·g−1, respectively. Furthermore, differences in electrochemical performance of three materials were discussed in detail through cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

Preparation and electrocatalytic oxygen evolution of bimetallic phosphates (NiFe)2P/NF

Abstract The energy and environmental crisis pose a great challenge to human development in the 21st century. The design and development of clean and renewable energy and the solution for environmental pollution have become a hotspot in the current research. Based on the preparation of transition metal phosphates, transition metals were used as raw materials, Prussian blue-like NiFe(CN)6 as a precursor, which was in situ grown on nickel foam (NF) substrate. After low temperature phosphating treatment, a bimetallic phosphide electrocatalyst (NiFe)2P/NF was prepared on NF substrate. Using 1 mol·L−1 KOH solution as a basic electrolyte, based on the electrochemical workstation of a three-electrode system, the electrochemical catalytic oxygen evolution performance of the material was tested and evaluated. Experiments show that (NiFe)2P/NF catalyst has excellent oxygen evolution performance. In an alkaline medium, the overpotential required to obtain the catalytic current density of 10 mA·cm−2 is only 220 mV, and the Tafel slope is 67 mV·dec−1. This is largely due to: (1) (NiFe)2p/NF nanocatalysts were well dispersed on NF substrates, which increased the number of active sites exposed; (2) the hollow heterostructure of bimetallic phosphates promotes the electron interaction between (NiFe)2P and NF, increased the rate of charge transfer, and the electrical conductivity of the material is improved; and (3) theoretical calculations show that (NiFe)2P/NF hollow heterostructure can effectively reduce the dissociation barrier of water, promote the dissociation of water; furthermore, the kinetic reaction rate of electrocatalytic oxygen evolution is accelerated. Meanwhile, the catalyst still has high activity and high stability in 30 wt% concentrated alkali solution. Therefore, the construction of (NiFe)2P/NF electrocatalysts enriches the application of non-noble metal nanomaterials in the field of oxygen production from electrolytic water.

Preparation of a nano aluminum phosphate enhanced hydroxyapatite coating for marble conservation

Open-air marble relics in Beijing are experiencing degradation due to sugaring, dissolution and other illnesses. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a protective and reinforcing coating to the weathered surface. Hydroxyapatite (HAP) has significantly lower solubility and dissolution rate compared to calcite. Additionally, HAP has similar lattice parameters with calcite, suggesting that a cohesive layer of HAP can be formed over calcite. In fact, HAP exhibits a lattice mismatch of 5 % with calcite, which might potentially lead to stress if the layer exceeds a few nanometre in thickness. On the other hand, aluminum phosphates (ideally, B-AlPO4) only exhibit a 1 % mismatch with calcite and have a solubility lower than that of calcite. In this study, in order to improve the property of HAP in marble conservation, sol–gel method was employed to synthesize nano AlPO4, which were then incorporated into the phosphate solution to produce protective coating on the stone surface. The coatingʼs morphology and the structure were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), high capacity 3D X-ray microscopy (XRM), optical microscope, and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Moreover, the color, the contact angle, the three-point bending strength measurements, as well as the simulated acid rain test and freeze–thaw treatment were performed to assess the chromatic aberration, hydrophilicity, reliability, and durability of the coating. Results indicated that the nano AlPO4, with its matched lattice parameters and nucleation site provision, facilitated the formation a coherent HAP layer of crystal flakes. Subsequently, the anti‑corrosion property, freeze-thaw resistance and consolidation property of the coating were improved, demonstrating the potential application the hybrid of HAP with nano AlPO4 in the preservation of marble.

Synergetic recovery of rutile and preparation of iron phosphate from titanium-extraction tailings by a co-leaching process

This study presents a compelling, eco-friendly methodology for extracting valuable materials from titanium extraction tailing (TET) discharged from the reduction rust process. The process efficiently separates titanium and iron by utilizing a co-leaching technique with sulfuric and phosphoric acids. This method results in a high-grade titanium dioxide (TiO2) with a purity of 61.57 % and an iron leaching rate surpassing 96 % under the optimal conditions of the liquid-to-solid ratio of 4:1, a leaching temperature of 70 °C, and a specific phosphoric acid to iron molar ratio is 1.1. The subsequent refinement phase involves adjusting the pH to 2.0 using ammonia, coupled with controlled precipitation temperature and ageing time, leading to the production of battery-grade iron phosphate (FePO4) with a purity of 98.82 %, in line with the stringent HG/T4701-2014 standards. The material's phase analysis and morphological characterization confirm its high crystallinity and minimal impurity levels. Moreover, the co-leaching approach facilitates magnetite dissolution, effectively enriching the rutile content in the leach residue and concurrently minimizing the formation of ammonium sulfate salts, thereby enhancing the purity of the iron phosphate. These technological advancements contribute to resource recovery research and offer new avenues for industrial material production, laying a solid foundation for sustainable industrial applications.

Precise electronically modulated Mn doped nickel iron phosphate with P, N codoped carbon decorated P-doped carbonized bacterial cellulose for efficient electrocatalytic glucose conversion coupled with H2 generation

Biomass electrocatalytic-conversion coupled with hydrogen generation exhibits low energy consumption, efficient hydrogen production and green syntheses of value-added chemicals. However, constructing electrocatalysts with precise electronic modulation and structures for efficient biomass electrocatalytic conversion coupled hydrogen production remains challenging. Herein, a bacterial cellulose substrate was combined in situ with a Mn-doped NiFe Prussian blue analogue (PBA) precursor, and one-step carbonization-phosphorylation was developed for the preparation of Mn-doped nickel iron phosphate (MNFP) embedded in a P, N codoped carbon (PNC) substrate grown directly on P-doped carbonized bacterial cellulose (MNFP-PNC/PCBC). Benefiting from the three-dimensional network structure of P-doped carbonized bacterial cellulose (PCBC) and atomic doping, MNFP-PNC/PCBC exhibited an optimized electronic structure, abundant active sites and excellent electrical conductivity. Therefore, the voltages required with hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and glucose electrocatalytic-conversion (GCR) to drive a current density of 50 mA cm−2 were 0.214, 1.5, and 1.34 V, respectively. Moreover, the required cell voltage of the novel electrolyser containing MNFP-PNC/PCBC as electrodes can be further reduced to 1.55 V at 50 mA cm−2 compared to overall water splitting, resulting in more than 8-time improvement in hydrogen production efficiency and production of value-added formate. This work provides a unique approach for electrocatalytic-conversion of biomass coupled with electrocatalytic hydrogen generation.

In this study, nickel cobalt phosphate ((Ni,Co)(PO4)3) has been developed as a positive electrode in supercapacitors. (Ni,Co)(PO4)3 is synthesized through a phosphorization and carbonization method using NiCo glycerate as a precursor combined with triethyl phosphate (TEP), subsequently an annealing process at 600°C under air conditions. The choice of solvent like hexanol has a significant influences on the morphology of nickel cobalt phosphate ((Ni,Co)(PO4)3), leading to the formation of cracker-like structures. Additionally, the resulting product exhibits an amorphous phase, indicating the absence of a well-defined crystalline arrangement. The electrochemical performance evaluation shows the peak from oxidation and reduction reactions at scan rate 5 mVs−1 until 100 mVs−1. Following that the specific capacitance reaches 743 Fg−1 at current density 1 Ag−1.

Embedding Thiols into Choline Phosphate Polymer Zwitterions.

The compositional scope of polymer zwitterions has grown significantly in recent years and now offers designer synthetic materials that are broadly applicable across numerous areas, including supracolloidal structures, electronic materials interfaces, and macromolecular therapeutics. Among recent developments in polymer zwitterion syntheses are those that allow insertion of reactive functionality directly into the zwitterionic moiety, yielding new monomer and polymer structures that hold potential for maximizing the impact of zwitterions on the macromolecular materials chemistry field. This manuscript describes the preparation of zwitterionic choline phosphate (CP) methacrylates containing either aromatic or aliphatic thiols embedded directly into the zwitterionic moiety. The polymerization of these functional CP methacrylates by reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer methodology yields polymeric zwitterionic thiols containing protected thiol functionality in the zwitterionic units. After polymerization, the protected thiols are liberated to yield thiol-rich polymer zwitterions which serve as precursors to subsequent reactions that produce polymer networks as well as polymer-protein bioconjugates.

In this study, two surface-modified antibacterial and anti-corrosive nanoparticles (ZnP-T, ZnP-ALG) were synthesized by facile and efficient one-step ultrasonic synthesis method. Nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The TEM image showed that the product had good dispersion with a particle size of 10-23, 15–32 nm respectively. Antibacterial and cytocompatibility properties were studied by agar diffusion, in vitro viability and cytotoxicity assay (MTT) and colony-forming-unit (CFU). Antibacterial rate of the ZnP-T and ZnP-ALG nanoparticles reached near 100% and cell viability was near 100%. The corrosion resistance of ZnP-T and ZnP-ALG was evaluated by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) approach. Nyquist diagrams demonstrated that the ZnP-ALG sample had better protection than the ZnP-T sample at all immersion time . The frequency phase angle of the ZnP-ALG sample (θ10 kHz) has a greater value compared with the ZnP-T case.

Zinc Phosphate-Incorporated Niobium Carbide as an Effective Electrocatalyst for Ultrasensitive and Selective Monitoring of Monoamine Neurotransmitter

The earth-abundant, cost-effective, easier preparation of zinc phosphate eases its diverse implications in recent applications. We have synthesized two-dimensional niobium carbide (NbC)-encapsulated zinc phosphate Zn2P2O7. The physicochemical characteristics were determined, which demonstrate pure crystallinity and good integration of the composite samples. To improve and develop a sustainable environment, the Zn2P2O7/NbC composite will be an efficient material. The detection of pharmaceutical compounds is highly preferable in clinical approaches. The importance of serotonin (SER) has empowered sensor development with the fabricated Zn2P2O7-based electrode. The synergistic action prevailing in the composite material endowed the active sites with improved electrocatalytic activity. The increased addition of SER was acquired with two linear ranges from 0.019 to 563.68 μM. The lower detection limit was obtained as 0.0055 μM toward the exposed SER addition at a lower concentration, and the sensitivity was about 7.72 μA μM–1 cm–2. Analyses of other parameters such as repeatability, reproducibility, and stability indicate the excellent performance of the electrode. The presence of SER in human urine and blood serum samples can be identified very easily, and hence, analysis of real samples was performed. The as-obtained recovery results stated the excellent performance of the fabricated sensor.

Preparation and structural characteristics of biphasic calcium phosphates from prawn shell bio-waste

ABSTRACT The major objective of the work is to explore the mechanical properties of biphasic calcium phosphates (BCP), a biomaterial derived from marine resources like prawn (Fenneropenaeus Indicus) shell biowaste through wet chemical treatment of CaO. We report the BCP, a mixture of hydroxyapatite and octa calcium phosphate from prawn shell biowaste using wet chemical synthesis at 80°C under pH 10. XRD of BCP revealed the coexistence of secondary phases like β-TCP and α-TCP along with HA upon sintering at different temperatures. Furthermore, the SEM and EDS opened well-sintered uniaxial grains and the presence of trace elements like Fe, Mg, Si, and Na. The specimens sintered at 1100°C showed the highest compression strength of 56.8 MPa due to MgO at the grain boundaries, which plays an important role in grain boundary diffusion. Therefore, the prawn shell biowaste-derived BCP has good mechanical properties, making them suitable materials for high-strength bone substitutes.

Calcium Phosphate Loaded Biopolymer Composites—A Comprehensive Review on the Most Recent Progress and Promising Trends

Biocompatible ceramics are extremely important in bioengineering, and very useful in many biomedical or orthopedic applications because of their positive interactions with human tissues. There have been enormous efforts to develop bioceramic particles that cost-effectively meet high standards of quality. Among the numerous bioceramics, calcium phosphates are the most suitable since the main inorganic compound in human bones is hydroxyapatite, a specific phase of the calcium phosphates (CaPs). The CaPs can be applied as bone substitutes, types of cement, drug carriers, implants, or coatings. In addition, bioresorbable bioceramics have great potential in tissue engineering in their use as a scaffold that can advance the healing process of bones during the normal tissue repair process. On the other hand, the main disadvantages of bioceramics are their brittleness and poor mechanical properties. The newest advancement in CaPs doping with active biomolecules such as Mg, Zn, Sr, and others. Another set of similarly important materials in bioengineering are biopolymers. These include natural polymers such as collagen, cellulose acetate, gelatin, chitosan, and synthetic polymers, for example, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and polycaprolactone (PCL). Various types of polymer have unique properties that make them useful in different fields. The combination of CaP particles with different biopolymers gives rise to new opportunities for application, since their properties can be changed and adjusted to the given requirements. This review offers an insight into the most up-to-date advancements in the preparation and evaluation of different calcium phosphate–biopolymer composites, highlighting their application possibilities, which largely depend on the chemical and physical characteristics of CaPs and the applied polymer materials. Overall, these composites can be considered advanced materials in many important biomedical fields, with potential to improve the quality of healthcare and to assist in providing better outcomes as scaffolds in bone healing or in the integration of implants in orthopedic surgeries.

Preparation, functional and pasting behavior of starch phosphates of red cocoyam (Colocosia esculenta) and white cocoyam (Colocosia antiquorum): a comparative study

A contemporary strategy in the starch industries is the diversification of raw materials. However, the hydrophilic nature of starch limits its use as a raw material for food and packaging products, resulting in a low level of biodegradation. To address this issue, it is imperative that starch be chemically modified. Starch phosphates are among the most common and commonly used chemically modified starches. In this study, native red cocoyam starch (NRCS) and native white cocoyam starch (NWCS) were chemically modified with di-sodium hydrogen orthophosphate as phosphorylating agent to produce red cocoyam starch phosphate (PRCS) and white cocoyam starch phosphate (PWCS). The functional and pasting properties of the native and starch phosphates of both cocoyam species were evaluated and compared. The starch yield increased from ~ 17% for NRCS to ~ 25% for PRCS and from ~ 12% for NWCS to ~ 20% for PWCS. The water and oil absorption capacities were 97.00 & 143.00% for NRCS and 78.00 & 164.00% for NWCS, whereas for PRCS it was 160.00 & 153.00% and for PWCS it was 127.00 & 173.00% respectively. NRCS and PRCS had a foam capacity of 8.80 and 9.00% while NWCS and PWCS had 8.00 and 10.00% respectively. Phosphorylation had a significant impact on the pasting properties leading to a reduction in the peak, breakdown, set back, and final viscosities of the native cocoyam starches. In conclusion, phosphorylation considerably improved the functional and pasting qualities of red and white cocoyam starch, revealing its tremendous application potential in the formulation of food components, as a stabilizer, tablet binders in pharmaceutical industries, as well as in the packaging industries.

In this paper, we report our efforts for the development of a novel and improved preparation of the anti-inflammatory steroidal active pharmaceutical ingredient, namely, betamethasone sodium phosphate. Starting from commercially available betamethasone, the synthetic strategy involved the mesylation of the hydroxyl group at C21 position, followed by the key phosphorylation reaction of the mesylate derivative with potassium di-tert-butyl phosphate, the hydrolysis of the di-tert-butyl ester intermediate under mild acidic conditions, and the final salification. The developed process allowed us to obtain the desired betamethasone sodium phosphate in 68% overall yield at multi-kg scale ≥ 99.9% HPLC purity. Cost-effectiveness of the process, impurity profiling, and material quality are also discussed.

Preparation of anticorrosion, biocompatible and antibacterial dicalcium phosphate dihydrate/polycaprolactone-titania composite coating on Mg alloy

As a new implantable biomaterial, magnesium (Mg) alloy has a broad application prospect. However, it is urgent to solve the disadvantage of rapid degradation. In this work, a composite coating with flaky dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) as the bottom layer and polycaprolactone (PCL) incorporated with titania (TiO2) as the sealing layer was synthesized by electrodeposition and spin coating. Due to the sealing effect of the PCL layer and the blocking effect of TiO2 nanoparticles on the corrosive solution, the corrosion resistance of the composite coating sample is significantly improved, and its impedance could reach 628 times that of Mg alloy, and the total hydrogen evolution amount of the composite coating is only 1/19 of that of Mg alloy after immersion for 14 days. Besides, the addition of TiO2 not only further improved the biocompatibility of the sample, but also endowed it with excellent bacteriostasis, which was expected to meet the standard of clinical implantation.

Micro/nanometer-sized porous structure of zinc phosphate incorporated Ti(HPO4)2 hydrate bioceramic induces osteogenic gene expression and enhances osteoporotic bone regeneration

In this work, we describe the synthesis of an ideal bioceramic to which cells can easily respond that has geometry and composition that are similar to those of bone-like apatite. The successful preparation of bone-inspired titanium hydrate phosphate with an optimized weight percentage (∼1.1 wt%) of zinc in (Ti(HPO4)2/Zn3(PO4)2·nH2O) bioceramic could represent a potential regenerative framework for bone defect repair and bone void filler that would be useful for various clinical approaches. We have for the first time demonstrated the detailed physicochemical and biological characterizations of the bioceramic required to achieve a biocompatible and porous architecture that is similar to hydroxyapatite. In vitro studies have shown that the phosphate-rich titanium and zinc nanocomposite promote bone regeneration after stimulating MC3T3 − E1 and hBM-MSCs cells activity. The metallic ions and phosphate had the effects of enhancing the cell viability and osteogenic differentiation of the cells, as confirmed by the expression of bone-related markers that included ALP, Col1a1, RUNX2, OPN/Spp1, and OCN through qRT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunocytochemistry. Moreover, the bioceramic has been shown to significantly improves new bone growth in critical size calvarial defect in rat model. The findings of the present work are the first that show the bone regeneration effect of bioceramic, which could be crucial for subsidies of Ca–P-based artificial bone implant materials. Our results provide insight into the Ti(HPO4)2/Zn3(PO4)2(0.1)·nH2O bioceramic in osteogenesis which can help to establish a therapeutic strategy in bone tissue regenerative medicine.
