An Li_1.3Al_0.3Sn_xTi_1.7−x(PO₄)₃ (LATP-xSn) ceramic solid electrolyte was prepared by Sn doping via a solid phase method. The results showed that adding an Sn dopant with a larger ionic radius in a concentration of x = 0.35 enabled one to equivalently substitute Ti sites in the LATP crystal structure to the maximum extent. The uniform Sn doping could produce a stable LATP structure with small grain size and improved relative density. The lattice distortion induced by Sn doping also modified the transport channels of Li ions, which promoted the increase of ionic conductivity from 5.05 × 10⁻⁵ to 4.71 × 10⁻⁴ S/cm at room temperature. The SPE/LATP-0.35Sn/SPE composite solid electrolyte with a sandwich structure was prepared by coating, which had a high ionic conductivity of 5.9 × 10⁻⁵ S/cm at room temperature, a wide electrochemical window of 4.66 V vs. Li/Li⁺, and a good lithium-ion migration number of 0.38. The Li||Li symmetric battery test results revealed that the composite solid electrolyte could stably perform for 500 h at 60 °C under the current density of 0.2 mA/cm², indicating its good interface stability with metallic lithium. Moreover, the analysis of the all-solid-state LiFePO₄||SPE/LATP-0.35Sn/SPE||Li battery showed that the composite solid electrolyte had good cycling stability and rate performance. Under the conditions of 60 °C and 0.2 C, stable accumulation up to 200 cycles was achieved at a capacity retention ratio of 90.5% and a coulombic efficiency of about 100% after cycling test.

Phosphogypsum (PG) is a solid waste produced from decomposition of phosphate rock in sulfuric acid. It can improve the physicochemical properties of soil. However, the application of PG will inevitably change the living environment of soil microorganisms and lead to the evolution of the soil microbial community. The effects of PG (0, 0.01%, 0.1%, 1%, 10% PG) on soil respiration, enzyme activity and microbial community were studied systematically by indoor incubation experiments. The results showed that the addition of 0.01% PG had little effect on the soil physicochemical properties and microflora. The soil respiration rate decreased with the increase of PG; The activities of catalase, urease and phosphatase were decreased and the activities of sucrase were increased by 10% PG treatment, while 0.01% or 0.1% PG treatment improve the urease activity; Soil microbial community response was significantly separated by amount of the PG amendment, and the application of 10% PG reduced the abundance, diversity and evenness of soil bacteria and fungi. Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that soil bacterial composition was mainly driven by electrical conductivity (EC) and Ca²⁺, while fungal composition was mainly driven by F⁻ and NH₄⁺. In addition, the application of PG increased the abundance of salt-tolerant microorganisms and accelerated the degradation of soil organic matter. Overall, These results can help to revisit the current management of PG applications as soil amendments.

Background: The monitoring and removal of heavy metal ions in wastewater will effectively improve the quality of water and promote the green and sustainable development of ecological environment. Using more efficient adsorption materials and more accurate detection means to treat heavy metal ions in water has always been a research focus and target of researchers.Method: A novel titania nanomaterial was modified with sulfhydryl group (nano TiO₂-SH) for detection and adsorption of heavy metal ions in water, and accurately characterize the adsorption process using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) and other effective testing methods.Results: The maximum adsorption efficiency of nano TiO₂-SH for the Hg²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ three heavy metal ions reached 98.3%, 98.4% and 98.4% respectively. And more importantly, after five cycles of adsorption and desorption, the adsorption efficiency of nano TiO₂-SH for these three metal ions is still above 96%.Conclusion: These results proved the nano TiO₂-SH adsorbent has great potential in practical water pollution purification.
