The microscopic features of (Li0.5La0.5)TiO3

In ionic conducting materials, the crystal structure is closely related to the ionic conductivity. In this research we studied the microscopic features of Li_0.5La_0.5TiO₃ which exhibited a lithium ionic conductivity as high as 1×10⁻³ Scm⁻¹ at room temperature by XRD, TEM and SIMS. It was found that the superstructure was caused by the ordering of La⁺³ and vacancy, producing the 2a_p×2a_p×2a_p unit cell. This ordering was found to be regular in microscopic region, but became irregular in macroscopic region. Li⁺ showed a random distribution which meet the needs for the fast ionic conduction. The second phase was found to be Li₂TiO₃ which existed in the grain boundary junctions.

The packing behaviors of pebble bed in blanket were investigated by packing experiment and discrete element modeling. The packing behaviors of cylinder mono-sized pebble beds show that the average packing factor is gradually increased with increase of the diameter ratio of the bed to pebbles. The experimental and simulated results of cylinder mono-sized pebble beds are in good agreement. Using binary-sized pebble packing and increasing the size ratio of binary pebbles can increase the packing factor of pebble bed, significantly. For binary-sized pebble bed, the average packing factor increases first and then decreases with the increase of the large pebble volume fraction. The maximum value is achieved when the larger pebble volume fraction is about 60%~80%. By optimizing the filling process of the pebble bed, the packing factor of the binary-sized pebble bed has reached 0.8, but the uniformity of the binary-sized bed is poor.     

Thermalhydraulic Characteristics in Annular Pebble Beds with Axial and Radial Gas Flows

The purpose of this article is to determine the heat transfer and hydraulic drag in thin annular pebble beds with axial gas flow and investigate the flow distribution along annular pebble beds with radial flow. The experimental investigations showed that in thin annular pebble beds heat transfer values, equal to those for large (unlimited) pebble beds, could be achieved. The observed distributions of the radial flow in annular pebble beds demonstrated that regulation of flow distribution is possible by changing the permeability of the inner wall (outlet header) of the annular channel.     

Material design of new lithium ionic conductor, thio-LISICON, in the Li2S–P2S5 system

A new lithium ionic conductor of the thio-LISICON (LIthium SuperIonic CONductor) family was found in the binary Li₂S–P₂S₅ system; the new solid solution with the composition range 0.0≤x≤0.27 in Li_3+5xP_1−xS₄ was synthesized at 700 °C and characterized by X-ray diffraction measurements. Its electrical and electrochemical properties were studied by ac impedance and cyclic voltammetry measurements, respectively. The solid solution member at x=0.065 in Li_3+5xP_1−xS₄ showed the highest conductivity value of 1.5×10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹ at 27 °C with negligible electronic conductivity and the activation energy of 22 kJ mol⁻¹ which is characteristic of high ionic conduction state. The extra lithium ions in Li₃PS₄ created by partial substitution of P⁵⁺ for Li⁺ led to the large increase in ionic conductivity. In the solid solution range examined, the minimum conductivity was obtained for the compositions, Li₃PS₄ (x=0.0 in Li_3+5xP_1−xS₄) and Li₄P_0.8S₄ (x=0.2 in Li_3+5xP_1−xS₄); this conductivity behavior is similar to other thio-LISICON family with the general formula, Li_xM_1−yM_y′S₄ (M=Si, Ge, and M′=P, Al, Zn, Ga, Sb). Conduction mechanism and the material design concepts are discussed based on the conduction behavior and the structure considerations.     

Liquid-phase synthesis of Li2S and Li3PS4 with lithium-based organic solutions

Sulfide solid electrolytes are widely regarded as one of the most promising technical routes to realize all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) due to their high ionic conductivity and favorable deformability. However, the relatively high price of the crucial starting material, Li₂S, results in high costs of sulfide solid electrolytes, limiting their practical application in ASSBs. To solve this problem, we develop a new synthesis route of Li₂S via liquid-phase synthesis method, employing lithium and biphenyl in 1, 2-dimethoxyethane (DME) ether solvent to form a lithium solution as the lithium precursor. Because of the comparatively strong reducibility of the lithium solution, its reaction with sulfur proceeds effectively even at room temperature. This new synthesis route of Li₂S starts with cheap precursors of lithium, sulfur, biphenyl and DME solvent, and the only remaining byproduct (DME solution of biphenyl) after the collection of Li₂S product can be recycled and reused. Besides, the reaction can proceed effectively at room temperature with mild condition, reducing energy cost to a great extent. The as-synthesized Li₂S owns uniform and extremely small particle size, proved to be feasible in synthesizing sulfide solid electrolytes (such as the solid-state synthesis of Li₆PS₅Cl). Spontaneously, this lithium solution can be directly employed in the synthesis of Li₃PS₄ solid electrolytes via liquid-phase synthesis method, in which the centrifugation and heat treatment processes of Li₂S are not necessary, providing simplified production process. The as-synthesized Li₃PS₄ exhibits typical Li⁺ conductivity of 1.85×10^-4 S·cm^-1 at 30 ℃.
