Advancing Sodium-Ion Battery Cathodes: A Low-Cost, Eco-Friendly Mechanofusion Route from TiO 2 Coating to Ti 4+ Doping

Layered oxide battery cathodes often require extra stabilization strategies, such as surface coating or doping, to mitigate side reactions and enhance longevity. Conventional methods such as aqueous deposition and atomic layer deposition are costly and environmentally unfriendly and even damage the original structure, especially for air-sensitive sodium-ion battery (SIB) cathodes. Herein, we introduce an all-dry mechanofusion technique that modifies hydroxide precursors with TiO 2 coating before sintering with a sodium source. Using advanced characterizations including X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance for structural insights, X-ray absorption spectroscopy to study metal valence states, and transmission X-ray microscopy for nanoscale visualization of nickel oxidation states, we verified that postsintering transforms TiO 2 surface coating into Ti doping, leading to improved Ni-oxidation homogeneity, modified charge compensation, and enhanced thermal stability. Electrochemical tests reveal superior performance in capacity retention, rate capability, and air stability for these modified cathodes, with pouch cells maintaining over 85% capacity after 650 cycles. This method presents a sustainable, cost-effective route for advanced SIB cathode development.

Role of Pairwise Reactions on the Synthesis of Li 0.3 La 0.57 TiO 3 and the Resulting Structure–Property Correlations

The performance of single-ion conductors is highly sensitive to the material’s defect chemistry. Tuning these defects is limited for solid-state reactions as they occur at particle–particle interfaces, which provide a complex evolving energy landscape for atomic rearrangement and product formation. In this report, we investigate the (1) order of addition and (2) lithium precursor decomposition temperature and their effect on the synthesis and grain boundary conductivity of the perovskite lithium lanthanum titanium oxide (LLTO). We use an intimately mixed sol–gel, a solid-state reaction of Li precursor + La 2 O 3 + TiO 2 , and Li precursor + amorphous La 0.57 TiO x as different chemical routes to change the way in which the elements are brought together. The results show that the perovskite can accommodate a wide range of Li deficiencies (upward of 50%) while maintaining the tetragonal LLTO structure, indicating that X-ray diffraction (XRD) is insufficient to fully characterize the chemical nature of the product (i.e., Li-deficient LLTO may behave differently than stoichiometric LLTO). Variations in the relative intensities of different reflections in XRD suggest variations in the La ordering within the crystal structure between synthesis methods. Furthermore, the choice of the precursor and the order of addition of the reactants lower the time required to form a pure phase. Density functional theory calculations of the formation energy of possible reaction intermediates support the hypothesis that a greater thermodynamic driving force to form LLTO leads to a greater LLTO yield. Here, the retention of lithium is correlated with the thermal decomposition temperature of the Li precursor and the starting material mixing strategy. Taking the results together suggests that cations that share a site with Li should be mixed early to avoid ordering. Such cation ordering inhibits Li motion, leading to higher Li ion resistance.

Binding of Formic Acid on Anatase TiO2(101)

The adsorption of formic acid (FA) and the formation of formate species on metal oxide surfaces are of great interest in catalysis. Formic acid is used to probe the adsorption properties of surface sites and formates are common intermediates in many catalytic reactions. Here we focus on the interaction of FA with a prototypical anatase TiO2(101) surface by using a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS), electron stimulated desorption (ESD), and density functional theory (DFT) to assess the coverage dependent evolution of different FA-derived surface species at low temperatures (80–240 K). We find that isolated FA adsorbs at 80 K in both monodentate (MD) and bidentate (BD) configurations on top of undercoordinated Ti sites (Ti5c). The MD form is likely deprotonated and readily converts upon annealing to bridging BD on two neighboring Ti5c sites. DFT calculations show that molecularly-bound MD FA is metastable and readily converts into a deprotonated state in the proximity of subsurface oxygen vacancy. The stability of the MD species increases as the availability of the paired Ti5c sites for BD formation diminishes at high coverages. Upon surface saturation, a mixed configuration of alternating bidentate and monodentate species with coverage of 2/3 FA/Ti5c represents the most favorable configuration. This is in contrast with the adsorption of FA on rutile TiO2(110) and many other oxides, where bidentate formate species dominate.

Energetics of Ag Adsorption on and Adhesion to Rutile TiO 2 (100) Studied by Microcalorimetry

The adsorption and adhesion energies of vapor-deposited Ag on rutile TiO 2 (100) films have been measured using single crystal adsorption calorimetry (SCAC) and He + low energy ion scattering spectroscopy (LEIS). Ag grows as three-dimensional (3D) nanoparticles at 300 and 100 K. The saturation particle density is 8 × 10 16 particles/m 2 at 300 K and 2.5 × 10 17 particles/m 2 at 100 K. The differential heat of adsorption starts low, increases with Ag coverage, and finally approaches the sublimation enthalpy of Ag at both 300 and 100 K. At 300 K, the differential heat of adsorption starts from 208 kJ/mol and rises rapidly to 265 kJ/mol by 1 ML. At 100 K, Ag grows nanoparticles with smaller particle size on the terraces, while at 300 K, the Ag nanoparticles have bigger particle size and grow on step edges with stronger binding strength to the nanoparticles. Thus, the heat of Ag adsorption at 100 K starts at 141 kJ/mol (near the monomer size limit on terrace sites) and remains lower than that at 300 K until 1.5 ML. Here, the adhesion energy of Ag(solid) to rutile TiO 2 (100) is found to be large (~2.44 J/m 2 ), supporting a trend of decreasing adhesion energy with the enthalpy of oxide reduction.

Conversion of Formic Acid on Single- and Nano-Crystalline Anatase TiO 2 (101)

Understanding thermochemical transformations of formic acid (FA) on metal oxide surfaces is important for many catalytical reactions. Here we study thermally induced reactions of FA on a single-crystalline and nanocrystalline anatase TiO 2 (101). We employ a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS), diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), and density functional theory (DFT) to follow the FA surface intermediates and reaction products above room temperature. We find that the primary reaction products desorbing at about 300, 480, and 515 K are molecular water, carbon monoxide, and formaldehyde, respectively. Bidentate (BD) formate and bridging hydroxyl (HO b ) are identified as central intermediates in the FA transformations. Bridging oxygen vacancies (V O ) are also likely participants despite their low stability at the surface. In conclusion, the parallel studies on single crystals and faceted TiO 2 (101) nanoparticles reveal the spectroscopic commonalities of surface species and of the thermal conversion of molecular and deprotonated forms of FA.

Site-Selective Atomic Layer Deposition on Rutile TiO 2 : Selective Hydration as a Route to Target Point Defects

Routes to area-and especially site-selective atomic layer deposition (ALD) remain an enticing challenge in precision surface science, despite the potentially game-changing capability for many energy applications. An unparalleled level of surface reaction control is required to direct ALD to select sites on the same nominal material, for example, targeted growth on distinct phases, facets, step-edges, and/or defects. However, as a sequential surface synthesis method, ALD is uniquely suited to these challenges, including the possibility of selective deposition at defective surface atom arrangements. Here, we computationally identify conditions for site-selective ALD through hydration of surface defects, including oxygen vacancies and titanium interstitials on low-index rutile TiO 2 facets. First-principles computation is used to predict, as a function of temperature, the hydroxylation of defects that are targeted by proton-exchange-mediated ALD processes. In situ ellipsometric measurements of ALD Al 2 O 3 nucleation on TiO 2 (110) single crystals prepared with and without abundant oxygen vacancies demonstrate striking contrast, corroborating computational predictions and revealing a mechanistically clear path to site-selective ALD.

Surface Dynamics of Selective Hydration of Rutile TiO 2 : A Kinetic Monte Carlo Approach

The utility of atomic layer deposition (ALD) continues to expand beyond conformal thin-film fabrication to include area- or site-selective ALD. We previously identified a strategy for site-selective ALD (SS-ALD) via the evaluation of thermodynamically preferred hydration of rutile TiO 2 surfaces, as deduced from electronic structure calculations. Here, we report a novel kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) model that allows for the investigation of surface dynamics and kinetics that improves our understanding of and intuition for the selective hydration strategy. Here we demonstrate the validity of the strategy with respect to step-edge defects for the lowest energy (110) facet as well as report results for the other common facets which agree with experimental STM observations. The results here indicate that the selective hydration strategy is feasible both thermodynamically (evaluated in our previous publication) and kinetically (from the KMC model). Because diffusion has a slower rate than others, we find that any proximity effects between terrace and defect sites are unlikely to affect the selective hydration strategy for rutile TiO 2 . The KMC model further provides relevant timescales for achieving selectivity experimentally and establishes the kinetic viability of the selective hydration approach to SS-ALD.

Anatase TiO 2 Surface Hydration: Infrared Vibrational Assignment and Facet-Specific Stability

Anatase TiO 2 nanoparticles support a subtle diversity of surface aqua and hydroxy coordination environments that are characteristic of distinct facets and defect sites. The disparate properties and stability of each molecularly or dissociatively absorbed water environment may provide unique reactivity for facet- and site-selective atomic layer deposition (ALD). Here we probe the temperature-dependent and facet-specific stretching frequency and stability of surface hydroxyls on faceted anatase TiO 2 nanoparticles via in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). Well-defined truncated octahedra, disks, and rods fabricated through hydrothermal synthesis present dominant (101), (001), and (010) facets, respectively. The selective dehydration of discrete local coordination environments as a function of temperature provides a potential pathway to site-selective and facet-selective ALD on metal oxide nanomaterials.

Photoinduced Charge Carrier Dynamics and Electron Injection Efficiencies in Au Nanoparticle-Sensitized TiO 2 Determined with Picosecond Time-Resolved X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Progress in the development of plasmon-enabled light-harvesting technologies requires a better understanding of their fundamental operating principles and current limitations. In this work, we employ picosecond time-resolved X-ray photoemission spectroscopy to investigate photoinduced electron transfer in a plasmonic model system composed of 20 nm sized gold nanoparticles (NPs) attached to a nanoporous film of TiO 2 . The measurement provides direct, quantitative access to transient local charge distributions from the perspectives of the electron donor (AuNP) and the electron acceptor (TiO 2 ). On average, approximately two electrons are injected per NP, corresponding to an electron injection yield per absorbed photon of 0.1%. Back electron transfer from the perspective of the electron donor is dominated by a fast recombination channel proceeding on a time scale of 60 ± 10 ps and a minor contribution that is completed after ~1 ns. The findings provide a detailed picture of photoinduced charge carrier generation in this NP–semiconductor junction, with important implications for understanding achievable overall photon-to-charge conversion efficiencies.

Two-Electron–Two-Proton Transfer from Colloidal ZnO and TiO 2 Nanoparticles to Molecular Substrates

Transfers of multiple electrons and protons are challenging yet central to many energy-conversion processes and other chemical and biochemical reactions. Semiconducting oxides can hold multiple redox equivalents. This study describes the 2e – /2H + transfer reactivity of photo-reduced ZnO and TiO 2 nanoparticle (NP) colloids with molecular 2e – /2H + acceptors, to form new O-H, N-H, and C-H bonds. The reaction stoichi-ometries were monitored by NMR and optical spectroscopies. Faster 2e – /2H + transfer rates were observed for substrates forming O-H or N-H bonds, presumably due to initial hydrogen bonding at the oxide surface. Chemically reduced ZnO NPs stabilized by Na + or Ca 2+ also engage in 2e – /2H + transfer reactivity, showing that protons transferred in these processes are inherent to the oxide nanoparticles and do not exclusively stem from photoreduction. Furthermore, these results highlight the potential of ZnO and TiO 2 for multiple proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions.

Observation of 9-Fold Coordinated Amorphous TiO 2 at High Pressure

Knowledge of the structure in amorphous dioxides is important in many fields of science and engineering. In this paper, we report new experimental results of high-pressure polyamorphism in amorphous TiO 2 (a-TiO 2 ). Our data show that the Ti coordination number (CN) increases from 7.2 ± 0.3 at ~16 GPa to 8.8 ± 0.3 at ~70 GPa and finally reaches a plateau at 8.9 ± 0.3 at ≲86 GPa. The evolution of the structural changes under pressure is rationalized by the ratio ($γ$) of the ionic radius of Ti to that of O. It appears that the CN ≈ 9 plateau correlates with the two 9-fold coordinated polymorphs (cotunnite, Fe 2 P) with different $γ$ values. This CN-$γ$ relationship is compared with those of a-SiO 2 and a-GeO 2 , displaying remarkably consistent behavior between CN and $γ$. The unified CN-$γ$ relationship may be generally used to predict the compression behavior of amorphous AO 2 compounds under extreme conditions.

Disordered TiO x –SiO x Nanocatalysts Using Bioinspired Synthetic Routes

Metal oxide nanomaterials have increasing significance and broad applications in catalysis, ranging from support materials to active catalysts. Here, we have demonstrated a facile synthetic strategy to create disordered, high-surface-area metal oxide nanomaterials using biomineralization-inspired methods. Using protamine as a protein template, a range of TiO x –SiO x nanomaterials were synthesized and implemented for catalytic CO 2 thermal reduction reactions. The modularity of synthetic options afforded via biomineralization enables increases in surface area, which are ideally suited for subsequent modification to regulate catalytic performance. All materials were thoroughly characterized using a suite of synchrotron scattering and spectroscopic methods. Through these techniques, we have demonstrated that protamine-induced biomineralization results in largely disordered materials with changes in the local atomic structure dependent on the applied synthetic conditions. Protamine removal with treatment under acidic conditions greatly increased material surface area while causing measurable changes in the structure as revealed by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Upon subsequent hydrogenation, Ti- and Si-based defects were induced in the materials while the disordered nature of the material was still largely retained. Furthermore, we found that the incorporation of Si into TiO x was able to mitigate the known anatase to rutile phase change during the reaction while stabilizing the defect sites. The synthetic strategies described in this work are expected to be translatable to other metal oxide nanomaterial chemical structures, providing a means to control catalytic properties using benign synthetic strategies.

Confinement Effects on Proton Transfer in TiO 2 Nanopores from Machine Learning Potential Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Improved understanding of proton transfer in nanopores is critical for a wide range of emerging applications, yet experimentally probing mechanisms and energetics of this process remains a significant challenge. To help reveal details of this process, we developed and applied a machine learning potential derived from first-principles calculations to examine water reactivity and proton transfer in TiO 2 slit-pores. Here, we find that confinement of water within pores smaller than 0.5 nm imposes strong and complex effects on water reactivity and proton transfer. Although the proton transfer mechanism is similar to that at a TiO 2 interface with bulk water, confinement reduces the activation energy of this process, leading to more frequent proton transfer events. This enhanced proton transfer stems from the contraction of oxygen–oxygen distances dictated by the interplay between confinement and hydrophilic interactions. Our simulations also highlight the importance of the surface topology, where faster proton transport is found in the direction where a unique arrangement of surface oxygens enables the formation of an ordered water chain. In a broader context, our study demonstrates that proton transfer in hydrophilic nanopores can be enhanced by controlling pore size, surface chemistry, and topology.

Selective Conversion of CO 2 to Methanol on a In 2 O 3– x –TiO 2 (110) Interface: Importance of Oxide–Oxide Interactions

Methanol is a strategic energy vector for the storage and delivery of energy and is a widely used precursor for the synthesis of many high-value chemicals. The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into methanol is a key process in industrial operations. Here, in this study, we show that an oxide-oxide interface generated by a low loading (0.15 ML) of In 2 O 3-x on a TiO 2 (110) substrate has a high activity and selectivity as a catalyst for the CO 2 + 3H 2 → CH 3 OH + H 2 O process. The properties of the In 2 O 3-x -TiO 2 interface under reaction conditions were investigated using a combination of synchrotron-based ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and catalytic testing. The In 2 O 3-x overlayer spread out on top of the titania and was rich in defects and O vacancies that activated CO 2 and H 2 as reactants, without destroying CH 3 O and CH 3 OH as reaction products. The In 2 O 3-x /TiO 2 (110) catalyst is at least one order of magnitude more active than bulk indium oxide while maintaining a very high selectivity (~80%) towards methanol production. Under the rich hydrogen environment of methanol synthesis, the oxide-oxide interactions allowed only a partial reduction of the In cations, preventing the formation of metal alloys as seen in the case of catalysts with metal-indium oxide interfaces. Thus, the dispersion of low loadings of In 2 O 3-x on a stable oxide substrate is a valid and low-cost approach for generating efficient catalysts for CO 2 valorization.

Pathways of Photocatalytic Oxidation of Formic Acid on Dry and Hydrated Anatase TiO 2 Surfaces

The photocatalytic oxidation of formic acid (FA), which is one of the most abundant volatile organic compounds, is a promising air remediation technology inspired by nature. However, the detailed mechanism of this photocatalytic reaction on the surface of TiO 2 , a typical photocatalyst, is not yet well-understood. In this work, we present a computational mechanistic study of the thermal vs photocatalytic oxidation of FA on dry and hydrated anatase TiO 2 (101) surfaces, based on periodic hybrid density functional theory (DFT) calculations, in which the photooxidation is treated as an excited-state process in a constrained triplet spin state. We first compare the adsorption modes of FA on the anatase (101) surface in the ground and excited states, followed by identification of the corresponding reaction intermediates that lead to the formation of CO 2 . We unveil the pivotal role of photogenerated holes localized at surface under-coordinated oxygen sites in mediating the C−H bond cleavage, thereby promoting CO 2 formation through a highly stable intermediate and an exergonic reaction step. Further investigation of the effect of coadsorbed water molecules shows that hydrogen bonding with water stabilizes FA in a monodentate configuration. This is favored over the unreactive bidentate structure that is the most stable under dry conditions, thus providing insight into the experimentally observed increase of the reaction rate in the presence of water.

Methanol at Water–TiO 2 Interfaces: Free Energies of Water and Methanol Dissociation

Methanol adsorption on TiO 2 surfaces has long been studied due to its role in enhancing photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, yet how it modulates surface chemistry under aqueous conditions remains little understood. Using molecular dynamics with an ab initio-based deep neural network potential, we find that methanol adsorption induces markedly different effects on the aqueous surfaces of anatase and rutile, the two common phases of TiO 2 . In anatase, methanol adsorption significantly enhances water dissociation, which is otherwise rare at the neat water interface. This enhancement arises from an alternative dissociation pathway mediated by surface-bound methoxyl groups. In contrast, methanol adsorption tends to suppress water dissociation on rutile, replacing it with thermodynamically favored methanol dissociation. Overall, methanol adsorption in an aqueous environment alters not only the availability of key reactive intermediates involved in hydrogen evolution but also the hydrogen source, which turns out to be primarily methanol on rutile, whereas both water and methanol are consumed on anatase. These results provide mechanistic insights into the coupled roles of organic adsorbates and water at photocatalytic interfaces, with implications on how methanol enhances the activity of H 2 evolution.

Insights into the Reactivity of Brookite TiO 2 Nanorods in Liquid Water from Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Brookite TiO 2 , a rare natural polymorph of TiO 2 , has been reported to be an excellent photocatalyst for the production of hydrogen from water and aqueous alcohol solutions, especially when it is reduced and synthesized in the form of nanorods. Here, we investigate the reactivity of stoichiometric and reduced brookite nanorods in liquid water using ab initio molecular dynamics and hybrid density functional theory calculations. Our simulations show a much higher water dissociation fraction on reduced nanorods than on stoichiometric ones, with an accumulation of the resulting bridging hydroxyls (O br H) and terminal hydroxyls (Ti –OH) on different facets of the nanorod. ObrH groups accumulate preferentially on low-energy (210) facets, where they are stabilized by adjacent reduced Ti (Ti 3+ ) sites, while Ti –OH groups prefer to form at the four-fold coordinated Ti atoms on high-energy (010) facets. This hydroxylation pattern also favors the spatial localization of excited holes on the (010) facets. This coupling between water-induced surface chemistry and charge separation underpins the enhanced photocatalytic activity of brookite nanorods, providing useful information for the design of more efficient TiO2-based nanostructures for solar-driven hydrogen evolution.

Photocatalytic Oxidation of Dissolved Mn 2+ by TiO 2 and the Formation of Tunnel Structured Manganese Oxides

The redox reaction of manganese (Mn) is of great environmental, geological, and public health significance, as Mn oxides control the distribution and electron flow of numerous nutrients and contaminants in natural and engineered environments. Current understanding on the oxidation pathways of Mn(II) to Mn(III/IV) mainly focuses on biotic processes due to their much higher oxidation rates than those of abiotic processes. This study demonstrates rapid photocatalytic oxidation of Mn 2+ (aq) under circumneutral conditions catalyzed by naturally abundant semiconducting TiO 2 minerals. Notably, the photocatalytic oxidation rates are comparable to or even higher than those of reported biotic/abiotic processes. In addition, the rapid photocatalytic oxidation leads to the formation of large tunnel structured Mn oxides (todorokite and romanechite) on the surface of TiO 2 . These findings suggest that photocatalytic oxidation of Mn 2+ (aq) by natural semiconducting minerals is likely an important yet previously overlooked pathway for understanding the occurrence of natural Mn oxide coatings on rock surfaces. In addition, considering the increasing input of photoreactive engineered nanoparticles into environmental systems, this work shows the potential impacts of nanoparticles on influencing natural redox cycles.
