An ion specific continuum model on ionic surfactant's binary phase diagram in aqueous solution
Here, a continuum aggregation model is proposed to account for specific ion effects, enabling accurate phase diagrams calculations for the micellar, cylindrical and lamellar aggregates of sodium/potassium carboxylate surfactants in aqueous solution across a range of temperatures. Three groups of concentrations at distinctive temperatures are fitted to build empirical temperature dependence given the limited availability of relevant experimental measurements. The specific ion effects are manifested in the aggregates' surface tension as well as in the distributions of counter-ions' concentrations in the vicinity of the aggregates. The aggregates' geometric sizes are well-reproduced. The differential evolution algorithm is applied to address boundary conditions of the electrostatic potential, aggregate size optimization as well as the equilibrium of monomers transferring between the aggregate and aqueous region.

Electrochemical and Chemical Reactivities of Titanium Oxide-Based Materials with a Chloroaluminate Ionic Liquid Electrolyte for Aluminum Batteries
Here, by selecting three different types of electrode materials, we intended to better understand the Al 3+ intercalation chemistry of titanium oxide-based frameworks with an acidic chloroaluminate electrolyte. In agreement with previous reports, we confirmed that the native interstitial sites of anatase TiO 2 are less prone to accommodate Al 3 + than Li + or Na + ions, while introducing cationic vacancies largely increases the electrochemical storage capacity. Upon the first cycle, the highest reversible capacity, up to 277 mAh/g, was obtained for a hydrated layered structure featuring cationic vacancies. Total scattering data showed that the insertion of Al 3+ ions induced a strong distortion of the framework. In addition, combined 27 Al MAS NMR and DFT calculations revealed that in oxy-hydroxylated vacant sites, the coordination mode of Al 3+ ions depends on the arrangement of anions around vacancies inducing the occurrence of 4-, 5-, and 6-fold coordination modes. Further cycling experiments revealed a progressive capacity fading for all electrode materials. Using cyclic voltammetry on the used electrolyte, we evidenced that a partial dissolution has occurred, which is more pronounced for the layered hydrate compound, and that solubilized species are electrochemically active, giving rise to specific signatures in both CVs and galvanostatic experiments. Raman spectroscopy enabled us to characterize these species, which are derived from the Ti-Cl system. The solubilized species, however, eventually precipitated, as shown by a purple deposit observed on the separator and tentatively assigned to TiCl 3 , known to be insoluble in this medium. By providing further information on the Al 3+ intercalation chemistry and a better understanding of the electrochemical and chemical reactivities of electrode materials, this work will enable progress to be made in the development of aluminum-ion batteries.
