Raman spectra of single crystal Li2SeO4

The room temperature polarized Raman spectra of single crystal Li₂SeO₄ are assigned using a factor group analysis. The internal optic modes of the selenate ion are responsible for Raman bands from 920 to 440 cm⁻¹, the translational optic modes of the lithium occur in the interval from 444 to 290 cm⁻¹ and the external optic modes of the selenate ion are found between 210 and 70 cm⁻¹. The symmetry-based assignments of these bands are discussed.     

Selective Lithium Adsorption of Silicon Oxide Coated Lithium Aluminum Layered Double Hydroxide Nanocrystals and Their Regeneration

Silicon oxide-coated lithium aluminum layered double hydroxide (Li_xAl₂-LDH@SiO₂) nanocrystals (NCs) are investigated to selectively separate lithium cations in aqueous lithium resources. We directly synthesized Li_xAl₂-LDH NC arrays by oxidation of aluminum foil substrate under a urea and lithium solution. Various lithium salts, including Cl⁻, CO₃²⁻, NO₃⁻, and SO₄²⁻, were applied in aqueous solution to confirm the anion effect on the captured and released lithium quantity of the Li_xAl₂-LDH NCs. In a 5% solution of sulfate ions mix with lithium chloride, the Li_xAl₂-LDH NCs separated a larger quantity of lithium than in other anion conditions. To enhance regeneration stability and lithium selectivity, thin layers of SiO₂ were coated onto the Li_xAl₂-LDH nanostructure arrays for inhibition of nanostructure destruction after desorption of lithium cations in hot water. The Li_xAl₂-LDH@SiO₂ nanostructures showed enhanced properties for lithium adsorption, including increase of stable regeneration cycles from three to five cycles, and they showed high lithium selectivity in the Mg²⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺ cation mixed aqueous resource. Our nanostructured LDH lithium adsorbents would provide a facile and efficient application for cost-efficient and large-scale lithium production.     

Synthese und Charakterisierung von Tetralithiumpentaoxoselenat(VI)

Synthesis and Characterization of Tetralithiumpentaoxoselenate(VI) Pure Li₄SeO₅ was prepared by solid state reaction at 500 °C from a mixture of Li₂O and Li₂SeO₄ in silver crucibles. The crystal structure was solved and refined with x‐ray powder methods (profile matching, C2/c, a = 873.3(1), b = 572.5(1), c = 783.6(1) pm, β = 98.29(1)°, R_p = 0.052, R_wp = 0.066). Li₄SeO₅ contains novel SeO₅^4– anions, which form slightly distorted trigonal bipyramids. All ions are coordinated by 5 ligands in the shape of trigonal bipyramidal polyhedra, according to the formula Li₄^[5]Se^[5]O₅^[5]. From the empirical formula and the coordinaton environments, it is clear that this is an order variant of the A^[5]B^[5] structure type, that was found in the system NaCl by global optimisation methods. The crystal structure is consistent with spectroscopic data (IR, Raman, NMR). The ionic conductivity (σ = 3.34 10^–5 Ω^–1 cm^–1 at 340 °C) of the compound was determined with impedance measurements.     

The vibrational Raman spectra of selenium trioxide ag

The vibrational Raman spectra of selenium trioxide have been observed in the solid and vapour phases for the same sample. The spectrum of the vapour phase, which essentially arises from the monomeric species SeO₃, has provided for the first time values of the Raman-active ν₁, ν₃ and ν₄ wavenumbers of SeO₃. The spectrum of the solid phase represents an improvement on previous work and has enabled a partial assignment of the tetrameric species (SeO₃)₄ to be made.     

Raman spectra of aqueous lithium sulfate and potassium thiocyanate in strong electric fields

The effects of high-voltage pulsed discharge (HVPD) activation on the Raman spectra of saturated aqueous solutions of lithium sulfate (Li₂SO₄/H₂O) in the range of the ν₁(A) totally symmetric vibrations of the SO ₄ ^2? anion and on the spectra of potassium thiocyanate KSCN/H₂O in the region of the ν₁(C≡N) vibrations of the SCN^? anion have been studied. The temperature dependences of the width and frequency of the corresponding spectral lines have been investigated.     

Lithium insertion compounds of LiFe5O8, Li2FeMn3O8, and Li2ZnMn3O8

Lithium insertion reactions of the lithium spinels Fe[Li_0.5Fe_1.5]O₄, Li_0.5Zn_0.5[Li_0.5Mn_1.5]O₄ and Li [Fe_0.5Mn_1.5]O₄ by n-butyl lithium or electrochemically yield Li_2.5Fe_2.5O₄, Li₂Zn_0.5Mn_1.5O₄, and Li₂ Fe_0.5Mn_1.5O₄, respectively. It is shown that the [B₂]O₄ framework of the A[B₂]O₄ spinel structure remains intact upon lithium insertion, and provides a three-dimensional interstitial pathway for Li⁺ ion diffusion. Lithium insertion is completely reversible in the normal lithium spinel LiFe_0.5Mn_1.5O₄; delithiation of Li_2.5Fe_2.5O₄ results in Li_1.5Fe_2.5O₄ and none of the inserted lithium may be removed from the mixed lithium spinel Li₂Zn_0.5Mn_1.5O₄. Physicochemical properties including electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and Mössbauer spectra of the hosts and their lithiated analogs are discussed.     

Calculated ro-vibrational spectrum of 7Li+3 and 7Li2 6Li+

Calculated ro-vibrational energy levels (J ⩽ 4) and transition intensities are presented for the two most abundant isotopomers of Li⁺₃. The calculations use the recent ab initio potential energy surface of Searles et al. (Spectrochim. Acta 43A, 699 (1987); 44A, 505 (1988); 44A, 985 (1988)). The rotational levels of the ground state and vibrational fundamentals are given in terms of parameterised Hamiltonians due to Watson retaining terms to fourth-order. The small splitting of the degenerate ν₂ mode in the mixed isotopomer leads to strong Coriolis coupling between the ν₂ and ν₃ in ⁷Li₂ ⁶Li⁺.     

Transport Properties of Solid Electrolytes: Effect of the Isotope Composition of Lithium Charge Carriers

The isotope composition of lithium charge carriers is experimentally found to severely affect transport in solid electrolytes -Li₃BO₃, Li₃N, Li₃AlN₂, Li₅SiN₃, Li₆MoN₄, Li₆WN₄, and LiCl. The lithium cation conduction of these decreases with increasing content of ⁶Li or ⁷Li and reaches a minimum at [⁶Li] = [⁷Li]. The activation energy for conduction increases, reaches a maximum in the same compositions, and then diminishes. Rates of spin–lattice relaxation of ⁷Li nuclei in electrolytes are studied by an NMR method at 15–35 MHz. The calculated activation energy for short-range motion (to one interatom distance) of lithium charge carriers in crystal lattices of electrolytes is lower than that for ionic conduction by 2–3 times, which is attributed to two types of correlation (electrostatic, isotopic) of charge carriers.     

Topotactic insertion of lithium in the layered structure Li4VO(PO4)2: The tunnel structure Li5VO(PO4)2

A new V(III) lithium phosphate Li₅VO(PO₄)₂ has been synthesized by electrochemical insertion of lithium into Li₄VO(PO₄)₂. This phase, which crystallizes in the space group I4/mcm, exhibits a tunnel structure closely related to the layered structure of Li₄VO(PO₄)₂ and to the tunnel structure of VO(H₂PO₄)₂. The topotactic reactions that take place during lithium exchange and intercalation, starting from VO(H₂PO₄)₂ and going to the final phase Li₅VO(PO₄)₂ are explained on the basis of the flexible coordinations of V⁴⁺ and V³⁺ species. The electrochemical and magnetic properties of this new phase are also presented and explained on the basis of the structure dimensionality.     

Chemical diffusion in intermediate phases in the lithium-tin system

The compositional variation of the chemical diffusion coefficient in the six intermediate phases LiSn, Li₇Sn₃, Li₅Sn₂, Li₁₃Sn₅, Li₇Sn₂, and Li₂₂Sn₅ of the lithium-tin system at 415°C has been measured. Among these intermediate phases, the phase Li₁₃Sn₅ has the highest chemical diffusion coefficient, varying with composition from 5.01 × 10^?5 to 7.59 × 10^?4 cm²/sec at that temperature. Combining this information with coulometric titration curves (emf versus composition), the self-diffusion coefficient of lithium has also been determined in the various intermetallic phases as a function of composition under the assumption that the tin atoms do not move appreciably compared with the lithium atoms. The lithium self-diffusion coefficient in the phase LiSn is lower than those in the more lithium-rich phases by one order of magnitude. This result is discussed in terms of the difference between the crystal structures of LiSn and the other lithium-rich phases in the lithium-tin system.     

Dreistoffsysteme Wasser-Salz mit Lithiumselenat,Natriumselenat, Cobaltselenat und Magnesiumselenat bei 25°C

The phase interaction in the systems Li₂SeO₄-CoSeO₄-H₂O, Li₂SeO₄-MgSeO₄-H₂O, and Na₂SeO₄-CoSeO₄-H₂O at 25°C was studied. The systems Li₂SeO₄-CoSeO₄-H₂O and Li₂SeO₄-MgSeO₄-H₂O were found to be of the simple eutectic type. The pure salts Li₂SeO₄·H₂O, CoSeO₄·6H₂O, Li₂SeO₄·H₂O, and MgSeO₄·6H₂O were found to crystallize from these systems. The formation of a new phase, a double salt of composition Na₂SeO₄·CoSeO₄·4H₂O in the system Na₂SeO₄-CoSeO₄-H₂O was established. The composition of the double salt obtained was identified by physico-chemical and derivatograph analysis. X-ray-phase analysis of the double salt was carried out.

     

Electrode reactions of manganese oxides for secondary lithium batteries

Nanorods of MnO₂, Mn₃O₄, Mn₂O₃ and MnO are synthesized by hydrothermal reactions and subsequent annealing. It is shown that though different oxides experience distinct phase transition processes in the initial discharge, metallic Mn and Li₂O are the end products of discharge, while MnO is the end product of recharge for all these oxides between 0.0 and 3.0 V vs. Li⁺/Li. Of these 4 manganese oxides, MnO is believed the most promising anode material for lithium ion batteries while MnO₂ is the most promising cathode material for secondary lithium batteries.

球形PVC-MnO2离子筛的制备及锂吸附性能

本实验室前期所制备的Li4Mn5O12超细粉末在卤水体系中对Li+具有较大的吸附容量和良好的选择性。但由于超细粉体的流动性和渗透性差,无法直接应用于固定床,需对粉末吸附材料进行成型造粒,以便于实际应用。本论文采用聚氯乙烯为粘结剂,制备出粒径约为2.0~3.5 mm的球形PVC-Li4Mn5O12,经盐酸处理后得到球形PVC-MnO2离子筛。并通过扫描电镜(SEM)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)、静态和动态连续锂吸附实验研究了球形离子筛形貌和锂离子吸附性能。结果表明,球形离子筛对Li+的吸附容量高达5.28 mmol.g-1,在混合溶液中对Li+具有良好的选择性,这对于在盐湖卤水或海水提锂具有重要的实用意义。     

New analysis of the 2ν4, ν4+ν6, 2ν6, ν3+ν4, ν3+ν6, ν1, ν5, ν2+ν4, 2ν3, ν2+ν6 and ν2+ν3 bands of formaldehyde H212C16O: Line positions and intensities in the 3.5 μm spectral region

This work is mainly motivated by the atmospheric importance of formaldehyde. The 3.5 μm region is indeed commonly used for the infrared detection of this molecule in the troposphere and the line parameters which are presently available in the atmospheric databases for H₂CO are of rather poor quality in this spectral range. Using New Fourier transform spectra recorded in LPMA and in GSMA it has been possible to perform an extensive study of the 2ν₄, ν₄+ν₆, 2ν₆, ν₃+ν₄, ν₃+ν₆, ν₁, ν₅, ν₂+ν_4, 2ν₃, ν₂+ν₆ and ν₂+ν₃ bands of formaldehyde. Combining these data with previous frequency and intensity measurements for the ν₃+ν_4, ν₃+ν₆, ν₁, ν_5, ν₂+ν_4, 2ν₃ and ν₂+ν₆ bands [L.R. Brown R.H. Toth and A.S. Pine J. Mol. Spectosc. 406–428 and references therein] and an adequate theoretical model, it proved possible to reproduce rather satisfactorily the experimental data and to generate a list of line positions and intensities for the 3.5 μm region. The Hamiltonian model accounts for the various Coriolis-type resonances and anharmonic resonances which perturb the energy levels of the 4², 4¹6¹, 6², 3¹4¹, 3¹6¹, 1¹, 5¹, 2¹4¹, 3², 2¹6¹, and 2¹3¹ vibrational states. This is also the case for the line intensity calculations, which allow one to reproduce satisfactorily the line-by-line intensity measurements as well as the integrated intensities available in the literature.     

Solid-state vibrational spectroscopy: Part VI. An infrared and raman spectroscopic study of transition metal(II)4-methylpyridine complexes

Infrared (4000–200 cm^?1) and Raman (3500–300 cm^?1 ) spectra are reported for metal(II) halide and thiocyanate 4-methylpyridine complexes of the following stoichiometries: (MX₂(4-Mepy)₂) {M = Mn, Co, Cu or Zn, X = Cl or Br; M = Mn, Ni or Zn, X = NCS}; (MX₂(4-Mepy)₄) {M = Mn, Fe, Co or Ni, X = Cl or Br; M = Mn, Fe, Co, W or Cu, X = NCS}. For a given series of isomorphous complexes there is a correlation between the sum of the differences between the liquid and ligand values of the ν₁, ν₂, ν₃, ν₄, ν₅, ν₆, ν₇, ν₈, ν₉, ν₁₀, ν₁₂, ν₁₃ and ν₁₄ modes of 4-methylpyridine and the strength of the metal-nitrogen bond. Comparison of the shift values of pyridine and 4-methylpyridine complexes supports the suggestion that, unlike the situation in the pyridine complexes, back-donation from the metal to the ligand is unimportant in the 4-methylpyridine complexes.     

Determination of diffusion coefficient of lithium in LiMyMn2 ? yO4 spinels using galvanostatic intermittent titration technique

The galvanostatic intermittent titration technique is used to study lithium transport in the LiM _y Mn_{2 − y} O₄ compounds with a spinel structure intended for application as cathodic materials in lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries. Equilibrium intercalation isotherms of the Li _x Mn₂O₄ and Li _x Mn_1.95Cr_0.05O₄ compounds and also their diffusion characteristics are determined at 25°C as dependent on lithium content x, 0 < x < 1. The diffusion coefficient of lithium varies in a complex way in the range of 10⁻¹⁰ to 10⁻¹² cm²/s under variation of the electrode composition.     

In-Situ Constructing A Heterogeneous Layer on Lithium Metal Anodes for Dendrite-Free Lithium Deposition and High Li-ion Flux

Constructing efficient artificial solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film is extremely vital for the practical application of lithium metal batteries. Herein, a dense artificial SEI film, in which lithiophilic Zn/Li_xZn_y are uniformly but nonconsecutively dispersed in the consecutive Li⁺-conductors of Li_xSiO_y, Li₂O and LiOH, is constructed via the in situ reaction of layered zinc silicate nanosheets and Li. The consecutive Li⁺-conductors can promote the desolvation process of solvated-Li⁺ and regulate the transfer of lithium ions. The nonconsecutive lithiophilic metals are polarized by the internal electric field to boost the transfer of lithium ions, and lower the nucleation barrier. Therefore, a low polarization of ≈50 mV for 750 h at 2.0 mA cm⁻² in symmetric cells, and a high capacity retention of 99.2 % in full cells with a high lithium iron phosphate areal loading of ≈13 mg cm⁻² are achieved. This work offers new sights to develop advanced alkali metal anodes for efficient energy storage.     

Rovibrational study of the ν2 + ν±14, ν2 + 3ν±16, ν1 + ν±15, ν±14 + ν±15, ν±14 + ν±5, ν±5 + 3ν±16, ν±5 + 3ν±36 and ν1 + ν2 infrared bands of CH335Cl studied in a high-resolution FTIR spectrum from 4250 to 4600 cm−1

About 6400 lines belonging to the ν₂ + ν^±1₄, ν₂ + 3ν^±1₆, ν₁ + ν^±1₅, ν^±1₄ + ν^±1₅, ν^±1₄ + ν^±₅, ν^±₅ + 3ν^±1₆ and ν^±₅ + 3ν^±3₆ bands have been assigned. An r.m.s. deviation of 0.047 cm⁻¹ has been achieved by a least-squares fit of 1427 lines. For this purpose, a simplified model, taking into account five anharmonic resonances already found in a previous work [Molec. Phys. 70, 849 (1990)] and the well known x-y Coriolis resonance between the ν₂ and ν₅ modes of methyl halides, was used. Although not observed, the ν^±1₄ + ν^±1₅ and ν₁+ ν₂ parallel bands are strongly coupled by Coriolis resonance to ν₂ + ν^±1₄ and ν^±1₅ respectively. A few secondary resonances remain unexplained in several parts of the spectrum.     

Luminescent core–shell Fe3O4@Gd2O3:Er3+, Li+ composite particles with enhanced optical properties

Bifunctional magneto-optical nanocomposites with Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles as a core and erbium and lithium codoped gadolinium (Gd₂O₃:Er³⁺, Li⁺) as the shell were synthesized successfully using a simple urea homogeneous precipitation method. The fabricated Fe₃O₄@Gd₂O₃:Er³⁺, Li⁺ particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy and quantum design vibrating sample magnetometry. The upconversion emission intensity was enhanced significantly comparing to that without Li⁺ ions. These bifunctional composites are expected to be potentially applied for drug delivery, cell separation and bioimaging.
