  Sustainability in organic synthesis has emerged as a pivotal challenge for the chemistry community, driven by increasing global awareness and a concerted effort to reduce waste generation.10,38,39,207,333 The past decade has witnessed signifi- cant strides in integrating green chemistry principles, encom- passing strategies such as enhancing atom economy, devising alternative synthetic routes for feedstocks, promoting sustain- able biocatalysis, utilizing eco-friendly solvents—preferably water—designing safer chemicals, and prioritizing waste man- on recyclability.10,17,21,23,333,334 agement with a Additionally, the burgeoning field of nanotechnology holds promise for chemistry, mainly through utilizing novel NPs catalysis, which can offer enhanced efficiency and selectivity compared to traditional methodologies.212,266 Leveraging active metals in aqueous micellar conditions presents a viable option;321 however, chal- lenges such as low reactivity and selectivity, particularly with non-precious metals, must be addressed.228 Advancements towards achieving catalysis at the parts per million level using precious metals like Pd in aqueous media represent significant strides toward sustainability.259,262,264,265,269,335 revolutionizing synthetic focus The integration of organometallic catalysts with designer surfactants has yielded promising outcomes in micellar catalysis,137,138,185 with further potential seen in extending micellar catalysis with nanocatalysis to address environmental concerns.169 Notably, the recyclability of catalysts and reaction media, alongside the enhanced stability of NPs within the micellar core, presents exciting prospects for reducing toxic- organic waste and unlocking unique reactivities unattainable in organic solvents.135,184,267 However, it’s imperative to con- sider potential risks associated with metal contamination of water in aqueous chemistry, as well as the toxicity of designer surfactants.162,336 Careful attention to surfactant molecules’ in their biodegradability and toxicity profiles is essential design. Notably, some of the commercially available surfac- tants, like alkyl benzene sulfonate-based anionic surfactants, quaternary ammonium ethoxylated, and alcohol ethoxylates, cause harmful effects on aquatic/terrestrial ecosystems.162,337 Also, PEG ethers are suspected to impact skin toxicity signifi- cantly.338 Therefore, while designing a surfactant molecule, its biodegradability and toxicity should be carefully considered. The Lipshutz group has tackled the problem of toxicity caused by PEG ethers by creating a surfactant known as Savie,183 which is based on polysarcosine and vitamin E. However, any further modifications to this surfactant must maintain its necessary benign properties while addressing its toxicity con- cerns to avoid potential toxicological issues. Notably, due to the high solubility profile, toxic contaminants or organic pollu- tants are highly soluble in micellar solutions resulting in the professionally.339 need tackle wastewater activities to 6308 | Green Chem., 2024, 26, 6289–6317 This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2024 Published on 03 May 2024.

• An Overview of Modification Strategies for Ternary Cathode Materials in Lithium-Ion Batteries (2026) · doi

  This paper has made a systematic review on the latest progress in the preparation of high-nickel layered oxide (NCM) cathode materials and the strategies to optimize their performance. The sol– gel method applies a new reaction mechanism based on esterification. It makes metal ions distribute evenly at the atomic scale, and this effectively improves the structural consistency and lattice integrity of the materials. At the same time, this method greatly simplifies the complex chelation and pH regulation steps in traditional preparation processes. It also shows a good scalability in the experiments carried out at the laboratory level. The coprecipitation method uses stepwise synthesis strategies, new types of precipitating agents and innovative reactor designs. It can control the morphology and composition of precursors in a highly precise way. The materials made by this 27 Proceedings of CONF-MSS 2026 Symposium: Advanced Composite Materials and Polymer Chemistry DOI: 10.54254/2755-2721/2026.AD32213 method have high purity, high tap density and excellent cycling stability. So this approach is especially suitable for the controllable synthesis and engineering-scale production of high-nickel NCM systems. Hydrothermal synthesis, by contrast, makes crystals grow at a relatively low temperature. It avoids the happening of high-temperature phase transitions and the formation of impurities. This method can produce NCM materials with clear layered structures and high crystallinity. What's more, the flexible choice of solvent systems can further control the product's morphology and electrochemical behavior in an effective way. Though, as the nickel content in NCM materials increases—especially in high-nickel systems where nickel accounts for more than 80%—their practical application still faces a series of serious challenges. These challenges basically come from the intrinsic structural instability of the materials during the process of electrochemical cycling. Under high-voltage working conditions, deep delithiation easily causes the loss of lattice oxygen and harmful phase transformations. This loss and transformation will lead to a continuous drop in voltage. Lithium ions are inserted into and extracted from the materials repeatedly, which generates anisotropic lattice strain. The strain makes stress build up at the internal defects inside the particles, triggering the formation of microcracks and speeding up the degradation of material performance. At the same time, the more intense side reactions between the highly reactive cathode surface and the electrolyte make the interfacial impedance rise and cause the dissolution of transition metals. What people care about most is that high nickel content makes the thermal stability of the mate
