Rich ‐Carbonyl Carbon Catalysis Facilitating the Li2CO3 Decomposition for Cathode Lithium Compensation Agent
This work demonstrates an effective cathode lithium compensation agent, the recrystallized Li2CO3 combined with large specific surface area disordered porous carbon (R-LCO@SPC). Its effect and decomposition mechanism are elucidated. Applying the R-LCO@SPC to the LMFP //Graphite full cells, the energy density is increased by 19.1%, meantime, the rate and cycling performance are improved. AbstractThe active lithium loss of lithium-ion batteries can be well addressed by adding a cathode lithium compensation agent. Due to the poor conductivity and electrochemical activity, lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) is not considered as a cand...

Extraction Of LiCl From Low-Purity Chlorides Through Solid Electrolyte Towards High-Purity Li2CO3 Production
ChemSusChem. 2024 Jan 3:e202301406. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202301406. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLithium carbonate (Li2CO3) plays a crucial role in advancing state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for efficient energy storage. The primary source of lithium is lithium-rich brines, which have complex compositions. Conventional extraction processes from brines involve cumbersome methods that often lead to emissions and/or large volumes of wastewater. To address these environmental challenges, a novel and eco-friendly lithium extraction process under ambient pressure is necessary. In this project, we developed an electrol...

Targeting glycogen synthase kinase-3 β for Alzheimer's disease: Recent advances and future Prospects
Eur J Med Chem. 2023 Dec 20;265:116065. doi: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.116065. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSenile plaques induced by β-amyloid (Aβ) abnormal aggregation and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) caused by tau hyperphosphorylation are important pathological manifestations of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a conserved kinase; one member GSK-3β is highly expressed in the AD brain and involved in the formation of NFT. Hence, pharmacologically inhibiting GSK-3β activity and expression is a good approach to treat AD. As summarized in this article, multiple GSK-3β inhibitors has been co...

Lithium salts cytotoxicity and accumulation in melanoma cells in vitro
AbstractBoron neutron capture therapy is a perspective selective technology for the destruction of cancer cells, while the use of lithium instead of boron may represent a new and promising vector for the development of neutron capture therapy (NCT). The aim of the study was a comparative assessment of the cytotoxicity of various lithium salts, as well as an analysis of the accumulation of lithium in tumor cells in vitro to determine the possibility of using lithium in NCT. The cytotoxicity of lithium salts was determined using MTT-test and colony forming assay on human fibroblasts BJ-5ta, human skin melanoma SK-Mel-28, and...

Advanced Lithium Extraction Membranes Derived from Tagged-modification of Polyamide Networks
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2023 Oct 5:e202312795. doi: 10.1002/anie.202312795. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEfficient Mg2+/Li+ separation is crucial to combating the lithium shortage worldwide, yet current nanofiltration membranes suffer from low efficacy and/or poor scalability, because desirable properties of membranes are entangled and trade-off. This work reported a "tagged-modification" chemistry to tackle the challenge. A mixture of 3-bromo-trimethylpropan-1-aminium bromide (E1) and 3-aminopropyl-trimethylazanium (E2) was designed to modify polyethylenimine - trimesoyl chloride (PEI-TMC) membranes. E1 and E2 reacted wi...

Dual strategies with anion/cation co-doping and lithium carbonate coating to enhance the electrochemical performance of Li-rich layered oxides
Chemistry. 2023 Oct 4:e202302569. doi: 10.1002/chem.202302569. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLithium-rich layered oxides (LLOs, Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2) are widely used as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries due to its high specific capacity, high operating voltage and low cost. However, the LLOs are faced with rapid decay of charge/discharge capacity and voltage, as well as interface side reactions, which limit its electrochemical performance. Herein, the dual strategies of sulfite/sodium ion co-doping and lithium carbonate coating were used to improve it. It founds that modified LLOs achieve 88.74% initial coul...
