Described are methods of dephosphorylation. Methods of dephosphorylation include contacting a phosphate containing substrate with one or more CeO.sub.2 nanocrystal. Also described is modifying the pH of the dephosphorylation reaction to affect the amount and rate of dephosphorylation. Further described are methods of making CeO.sub.2 nanocrystals of the present disclosure.

LiCoO.sub.2 material comprises LiCoO.sub.2 particles obtainable by a process in which Co(OH).sub.2 particles comprising essentially octahedral shape particles, or Co.sub.3O.sub.4 particles obtained from Co(OH).sub.2 comprising essentially octahedral shape particles, or Co.sub.3O.sub.4 particles comprising essentially octahedral shape particles and lithium salt are heated. Also disclosed are Co(OH).sub.2 particles and the Co.sub.3O.sub.4 particles. The LiCoO.sub.2 material can be used especially as a cathode material in Li-ion batteries.

To solve the problem of providing a black iron oxide that can yield sufficient blackness, opacifying effect and covering ability even if it is only added in a small amount for use with cosmetic materials, the invention provides a black iron oxide with a high tinting strength having an octahedral shape, a specific surface in a range of 8.0 to 20.0 m.sup.2/g, and a particle surface coated with a layer containing one type or two or more types of inorganic compounds, wherein an L*value of a color on reduction is 31.0 or lower and a b*value of a color on reduction is 1.5 or lower, a production method thereof, and cosmetic materials that incorporate the same.

Titanium oxide particles of the present invention include octahedral-shaped particles, in which each particle of the octahedral-shaped particles has line segments each of which connects two apexes which face each other and has a maximum value of the line segments, an average value of the maximum values is 300 nm or more and 1,000 nm or less, and a value (the average value of the maximum values/BET-converted average particle diameter) obtained by dividing the average value of the maximum values of the line segments by an average particle diameter converted from a BET specific surface area is 1.0 or more and 2.5 or less.

A copper oxide with a hollow porous structure, a preparation method therefor, and a use thereof are provided. The copper oxide with a hollow porous structure is of a hollow octahedral structure, and has a size of 200-400 nm and a specific surface area of 23.5-79.6 m.sup.2/g, where the surface of the octahedron is composed of copper oxide nanoparticles having a size of 14-33 nm, and pore structures are formed among the copper oxide nanoparticles.
