Ionic limiting molar conductivity calculation of Li-ion battery electrolyte based on mode coupling theory

A method is proposed based on mode coupling theory in which the ion transference number is introduced into the theory. The ionic limiting molar conductivities of LiPF6, LiClO4, LiBF4, LiCF3SO3, Li(CF3SO3)2N, LiC4F9SO3, and LiAsF6 in PC(propylene carbonate), GBL(gamma-butyrolactone), PC(propylene carbonate)/EMC(ethylmethyl carbonate), and PC(propylene carbonate)/DME(dimethoxyethane) are calculated based on this method, which does not involve any adjustable parameter. The results fit well to the literature data which are calculated by an empirically adjusted formula. This presents a potential way to calculate the conductivities of Li-ion battery electrolytes.     

Electric conductivities of 1:1 electrolytes in liquid methanol along the liquid-vapor coexistence curve up to the critical temperature. III. Tetraalkylammonium bromides

The molar conductivities of the dilute solutions of the tetraalkylammonium bromides have been measured in methanol along the liquid-vapor coexistence curve up to about 180 degrees C. The limiting molar conductivities and the molar association constants have been obtained from the analysis of the concentration dependence of the conductivity. On the basis of the present data together with the literature ones, the validity of the Hubbard-Onsager (HO) dielectric friction theory [J. Hubbard, J. Chem. Phys. 68, 1649 (1978)] derived from the continuum model has been examined for the translational friction coefficients of the tetraalkylammonium ions in methanol in the density range of 0.8232 g cm(-3) > or =rho > or =0.5984 g cm(-3) and the temperature range of -15 degrees C < or =t < or =180 degrees C. At high densities and low temperatures, the observed friction coefficients of Me(4)N(+) and Et(4)N(+) are remarkably smaller than the prediction of the HO theory (where Me stands for methyl group and Et for ethyl group); this kind of limitation of the HO theory has not been recognized for smaller ions, and can be attributed to the loosening of the solvent structure closely related to the weak charge effect for the large ions. The negative deviation from the HO theory gradually disappears with decreasing density and increasing temperature, and the friction coefficients of Me(4)N(+) and Et(4)N(+) are explained by the HO theory reasonably well at low densities and high temperatures. For Pr(4)N(+) and Bu(4)N(+) (where Pr stands for propyl group and Bu for butyl group), the experimental friction coefficients lay in the validity range of the HO theory in all the conditions studied here; the breakdown of the continuum theory at low densities and high temperatures has not been observed in this work. The density dependences of the molar association constants of the tetraalkylammonium bromides are qualitatively explained by the Fuoss theory based on the continuum model.     

Dissociation Behavior of <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>(+)-Lactic Acid in Aqueous Solutions of (1-Alkyl-4-methylpyridinium bromide + Poly (ethyleneglycol)) at <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis> = (288.15–318.15) K

The effect of 1-alkyl-4-methylpyridinium based ionic liquids on the conductivity behavior of l(+)-lactic acid (LaH) was studied in Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) aqueous solutions. The molar conductivities of LaH in the aqueous solutions of PEG, (PEG + 1-hexyl-4-methylpyridinium bromide) and (PEG + 1-octyl-4-methylpyridinium bromide) were measured over the temperature ranges of 288.15–318.15 K. The molar conductivity data were analyzed by applying the Quint–Viallard (QV) conductivity equation to determine the limiting molar conductivities (Λ ⁰) and dissociation constants (\( K_{\text{D}} \)). The results show that the values of limiting molar conductivity increased as the temperature increased, which indicates that the dissociation process is endothermic. The \( K_{\text{D}} \) values were also used to calculate the dissociation standard thermodynamic functions (\( \Delta G_{\text{D}}^{0} \), \( \Delta S_{\text{D}}^{0} \) and \( \Delta H_{\text{D}}^{0} \)). The results revealed that the dissociation process of LaH is controlled by entropy at all temperatures.     

Conductance of tetraalkylammonium salts in 2-butanone from −45 to 25°C

Interactions of three types of tetraalkylammonium cations (tetrapropyltetrabutyl-and tri-isoamylbutyl- ammonium) with perchlorate and tetraphenylborate anions were studied by the conductivity method in 2-butanone from –45°C to 25°C. Conductance data obtained for diluted solutions (5×10^–5 – 2×10^–3 mol-dm^–3) were used to calculate the limiting molar conductivities and associationconstants. The conductance equation of Fuoss-Hsia including the Chen term and the chemical model assumption were applied. Limiting ion conductivities were calculated assuming equal limiting conductivities of the i-Am₃BuN⁺ and BPh ₄ ^– ions at all temperatures. Gibbs energies and entropies of ion pair formation, calculated from the dependence of association constants on temperature, are presented including the contributions due to short-range forces.

Physical properties of ionic liquids consisting of the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation with various anions and the bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion with various cations

Physical properties of 4 room-temperature ionic liquids consisting of the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation with various perfluorinated anions and the bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (Tf2N-) anion with 12 pyrrolidinium-, ammonium-, and hydroxyl-containing cations are reported. Electronic structure methods are used to calculate properties related to the size, shape, and dipole moment of individual ions. Experimental measurements of phase-transition temperatures, densities, refractive indices, surface tensions, solvatochromic polarities based on absorption of Nile Red, 19F chemical shifts of the Tf2N- anion, temperature-dependent viscosities, conductivities, and cation diffusion coefficients are reported. Correlations among the measured quantities as well as the use of surface tension and molar volume for estimating Hildebrand solubility parameters of ionic liquids are also discussed.     

Electric conductivities of 1:1 electrolytes in liquid methanol along the liquid-vapor coexistence curve up to the critical temperature. II. KBr and KI solutions

The molar conductivities Lambda of KBr and KI in dilute methanol solutions were measured along the liquid-vapor coexistence curve up to the critical temperature (240 degrees C). The concentration dependence of Lambda in each condition was analyzed by the Fuoss-Chen-Justice equation to obtain the limiting molar conductivities and the molar association constants. Using the present data together with the literature ones, the validity of the Hubbard-Onsager (HO) dielectric friction theory based on the sphere-in-continuum model was examined for the translational friction coefficients zeta of the halide ions (the Cl(-), Br(-), and I(-) ions) in methanol in the density range of 2.989rho(c)> or =rho> or =1.506rho(c), where rho(c)=0.2756 g cm(-3) is the critical density of methanol. For all the halide ions studied, the friction coefficient decreased with decreasing density at rho>2.0rho(c), while the nonviscous contribution Deltazeta/zeta increased; Deltazeta was defined as the difference between zeta and the friction coefficient estimated by the Stokes law. The density dependence of zeta and Deltazeta/zeta were well reproduced by the HO theory at rho>2.0rho(c). The HO theory also explained the ion-size dependence of Deltazeta/zeta which decreased with ion-size at rho>2.0rho(c). At rho<2.0rho(c), on the other hand, the HO theory could not explain the density and the ion-size dependences of zeta and Deltazeta/zeta. These results indicated that the application limit of the HO theory lied about rho=2.0rho(c) which is the same as the application limit observed for the alkali metal ions. The present results were also compared with the results in subcritical aqueous solutions.

Conductance of 1∶1 electrolytes in methyl acetate

The electrolytic conductances of NaClO₄, NaB(C₆H₅)₄, (n-C₄H₉)₄NClO₄ and (n-C₄H₉)₄NPF₆ have been measured in methyl acetate at 25°C. A dominating feature of these electrolyte solutions is, as expected, strong ion pairing. In addition it is found that the formation of triple ions makes an important contribution to the overall molar conductivities. The data suggest that there are strong ion-solvent interactions leading to structure-enhanced (after Diamond) ion association and triple ion formation which has an exact analogy in the phenomena of salting-in. The effects of increasing solution permittivity and viscosity are discussed, particularly in regard to comparing two models of treating conductivity data. The first model includes ion pairs and triple ions, and the second model ignores triple ion formation ascribing the anomalous increase in molar conductivities to a decrease in the ion association equilibrium constant caused by increasing solution permittivity.     

A first principles theory of nuclear magnetic resonance J-coupling in solid-state systems

A method to calculate NMR J-coupling constants from first principles in extended systems is presented. It is based on density functional theory and is formulated within a planewave-pseudopotential framework. The all-electron properties are recovered using the projector augmented wave approach. The method is validated by comparison with existing quantum chemical calculations of solution-state systems and with experimental data. The approach has also been applied to the silicophosphate, Si(5)O(PO(4))(6), giving (31)P-(29)Si-couplings which are in excellent agreement with experiment.     

Electric conductivities of 1:1 electrolytes in high-temperature ethanol along the liquid-vapor coexistence curve. II. Tetraalkylammonium bromides

The molar electrolyte conductivities of dilute solutions of the tetramethyl, tetraethyl, tetra-n-propyl, and tetra-n-butylammonium bromides were measured in ethanol along the liquid-vapor coexistence curve up to 160 °C. The limiting molar electrolyte conductivities and the molar association constants were obtained from the analysis of the concentration dependence of the conductivity. The ionic friction coefficients were estimated from the electrolyte conductivities. On the basis of the present data together with the literature ones at higher densities (lower temperatures) and comparisons with the continuum dielectric friction theory, the density (temperature) dependence of the translational friction coefficients of the tetraalkylammonium ions were discussed in the range of 0.810 ≥ ρ ≥ 0.634 g cm(-3) (-5 °C ≤ t ≤ 160 °C). The dielectric friction effect was important for the tetramethylammonium ion in the whole range studied. The tetraethylammonium ion showed a relatively small friction coefficient in ambient condition indicating the structure-loosening effect around the ion, while the dielectric friction effect became more important as the density reduces and the temperature raises. For the tetra-n-butylammonium ion, the friction coefficients were determined mainly by the bulky size effect. The tetra-n-propylammonium ion showed an intermediate tendency between the tetraethylammonium and tetra-n-butylammonium ions.     

Ionic Association of the Ionic Liquids [C4mim][BF4], [C4mim][PF6], and [Cnmim]Br in Molecular Solvents

Considering the ionic nature of ionic liquids (ILs), ionic association is expected to be essential in solutions of ILs and to have an important influence on their applications. Although numerous studies have been reported for the ionic association behavior of ILs in solution, quantitative results are quite scarce. Herein, the conductivities of the ILs [C_nmim]Br (n=4, 6, 8, 10, 12), [C₄mim][BF₄], and [C₄mim][PF₆] in various molecular solvents (water, methanol, 1‐propanol, 1‐pentanol, acetonitrile, and acetone) are determined at 298.15 K as a function of IL concentration. The conductance data are analyzed by the Lee–Wheaton conductivity equation in terms of the ionic association constant (K_A) and the limiting molar conductance (Λ_m⁰). Combined with the values for the Br^? anion reported in the literature, the limiting molar conductivities and the transference numbers of the cations and [BF₄]^? and [PF₆]^? anions are calculated in the molecular solvents. It is shown that the alkyl chain length of the cations and type of anion affect the ionic association constants and limiting molar conductivities of the ILs. For a given anion (Br^?), the Λ_m⁰ values decrease with increasing alkyl chain length of the cations in all the molecular solvents, whereas the K_A values of the ILs decrease in organic solvents but increase in water as the alkyl chain length of the cations increases. For the [C₄mim]⁺ cation, the limiting molar conductivities of the ILs decrease in the order Br^?>[BF₄]^?>[PF₆]^?, and their ionic association constants follow the order [BF₄]^?>[PF₆]^?>Br^? in water, acetone, and acetonitrile. Furthermore, and similar to the classical electrolytes, a linear relationship is observed between ln K_A of the ILs and the reciprocal of the dielectric constants of the molecular solvents. The ILs are solvated to a different extent by the molecular solvents, and ionic association is affected significantly by ionic solvation. This information is expected to be useful for the modulation of the IL conductance by the alkyl chain length of the cations, type of anion, and physical properties of the molecular solvents.     

Synthesis and spectral studies of macrocyclic Cu(II) complexes by reaction of various diamines,copper(II) perchlorate and 1,4-bis(2-carboxyaldehyde phenoxy)butane

Six macrocyclic complexes, were synthesized by reaction of 1,4-bis(2-carboxyaldehyde phenoxy)butane and various amines and their copper(II) perchlorate complexes were synthesized by template effect reaction of 1,4-bis(2-carboxyaldehyde phenoxy)butane, Cu(ClO₄)₂?·?6H₂O and amines. The metal-to-ligand ratios were found to be 1?:?1. Cu(II) metal complexes are 1?:?2 electrolytes as shown by their molar conductivities (Λ_M) in DMF (dimethyl formamide) at 10^?3?M. The Cu(II) complexes are proposed to be square planar based on elemental analysis, FT–IR, UV–Vis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductivity measurements, and mass spectra.     

CONDUCTING BLENDS OF POLY (2-VINYL PYRIDINE) AND POLYETHYLENE OXIDE WITH HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT

Ionic, electronic and mixed (ionic-electronic) conductivities of blends of poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with high molecular weight after dopedwith LiClO_4, TCNQ or LiClO_4 and TCNQ were investigated. Effects of LiClO_4 and TCNQconcentrations on the conductivity of PEO/P2VP/LiClO_4 or TCNQ blend were studied.The ionic conductivity of PEO/P2VP/LiClO_4 blend increases with increasing PEO content.At a Li/ethylene oxide molar ratio of 0.10 and a TCNQ/2-vinyl pyridine molar ratio of 0.5,the mixed conductivity of PEO / P2VP / LiClO_4 / TCNQ is higher than the total of ionicconductivity of PEO/P2VP/LiClO_4 and electronic conductivity of PEO/P2VP/TCNQwhen the weight ratio of PEO and P2VP is 6/4 or 5/5. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) on the broken cross-section of the PEO/P2VP/LiClO_4 blend and differential scan-ning calorimetry (DSC) results show that LiClO_4 could act as a compatibilizer in the blend.     

Interactions of Imidazolium Based Ionic Liquids with Water Studied by Density and Speed of Sound Measurements: Effect of the Chain Length of an Alkyl Substituent on the Imidazolium Ion

Densities and speeds of sound of three ionic liquids (ILs), 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazoliumtetrafluoroborate (C₂mimBF₄), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazoliumtetrafluoroborate (C₄mimBF₄) and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazoliumtetrafluoroborate (C₆mimBF₄) were measured in aqueous solutions at (288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15 and 308.15) K. These data were used to calculate the volumetric properties apparent molar volume and apparent molar isentropic compression as a function of molality. Infinite dilution values for these properties were evaluated by an extrapolation procedure based on Redlich–Meyer type equations. Apparent molar isobaric expansions at infinite dilution were also obtained from the slopes of the apparent molar volume at infinite dilution versus temperature. All these properties are interpreted in terms of IL–water interactions. The hydrolysis of the \( {\text{BF}}_{4}^{ - } \) anion of the ILs and its effects on the results is discussed.     

Electric conductivities of 1:1 electrolytes in liquid methanol along the liquid-vapor coexistence curve up to the critical temperature. I. NaCl, KCl, and CsCl solutions

The molar conductivities Lambda of NaCl, KCl, and CsCl in liquid methanol were measured in the concentration range of (0.3-2.0) x 10(-3) mol dm(-3) and the temperature range of 60-240 degrees C along the liquid-vapor coexistence curve. The temperature range corresponds to the solvent density range of (2.78-1.55)rhoc, where rhoc = 0.2756 g cm(-3) is the critical density of methanol. The concentration dependence of Lambda at each temperature and density (pressure) has been analyzed by the Fuoss-Chen-Justice equation to obtain the limiting molar conductivity Lambda0 and the molar association constant KA. For all the electrolytes studied, Lambda0 increased almost linearly with decreasing density at densities above 2.0rhoc, while the opposite tendency was observed at lower densities. The relative contribution of the nonhydrodynamic effect on the translational friction coefficient zeta was estimated in terms of Deltazeta/zeta, where the residual friction coefficient Deltazeta is the difference between zeta and the Stokes friction coefficient zetaS. At densities above 2.0rhoc, Deltazeta/zeta increased with decreasing density though zeta and Deltazeta decrease, and the tendencies are common for all the ions studied. The density dependences of zeta and Deltazeta/zeta were explained well by the Hubbard-Onsager (HO) dielectric friction theory based on the sphere-in-continuum model. At densities below 2.0rhoc, however, the experimental results cannot be explained by the HO theory.     

Interaction of Photoactive[Fe（CN）6]4^- with TiO2 Anatase（101） Surface： A Periodic Density Functional Theory Study

The plane-wave pseudopotential function method,based on density-functional theory,has been used to calculate the adsorption,electronic band structures,orbitals and optical absorption spectrum of [Fe(CN)6]4-on TiO2 anatase(101) surface. Our calculations reveal that the surface-modified anatase system has large adsorption energy and a much narrower band gap. [Fe(CN)6]4-adsorption on the (101) surface could lead to a large red shift of the anatase optical absorption threshold,which extends into a visible region significantly. The calculated results are in agreement with the experiment and other theoretical studies reasonably. It is very important for the understanding and further development of photovoltaic materials that are active under visible light.     

Conductance of Lithium and Sodium Perchlorates and Tetraphenylborates in 2-Butanone from −35 to 25°C

Conductances of dilute solutions of LiClO₄, NaClO₄, LiBPh₄ and NaBPh₄ in 2-butanone were measured at seven temperatures from ?35 to 25°C. The limiting molar conductivities and association constants were evaluated using the conductance equation of Fuoss and Justice (including the Chen effect). The distance parameter was fixed at the Bjerrum distance. The limiting ionic conductivities, determined by assuming equal ionic conductivities of the i-Am₃ BuN⁺ and BPh ₄ ^? ions at all temperatures, were related to the crystallographic ionic radii using the Hubbard–Onsager model of dielectric friction corrected for the inhomogeneity of the electric field. The activation enthalpy of ionic transport in 2-butanone is almost independent of the nature of the electrolyte. The Walden products do not vary with the temperature. The correction to the conductance parameters for dielectric saturation computed for M⁺ClO ₄ ^? associates was found to be small. Thermodynamic functions characterizing the association process were evaluated from K _A data and their dependences on the temperature. The short-range, noncoulombic contributions to the Gibbs energy were estimated using Bjerrum's theory.     

Synthesis,magnetic and spectral studies of iron(III), cobalt(II,III), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes of 2–formylpyridine N(4)-antipyrinylthiosemicarbazone

2–Formylpyridine N(4)-antipyrinylthiosemicarbazone and its metal complexes have been synthesized and characterized. Elemental analyses, molar conductivities, magnetic measurements and spectral (i.e., i.r., electronic, n.m.r. and e.s.r.) studies have been used to characterize the complexes. The i.r. spectra show that the thiosemicarbazones behave as bidentate or tridentate ligands either in the thione or thiolato form. Ligand field parameters have been calculated and the proposed stereochemistries are based on the various physical and spectral methods.     

Sodium Chloride Molar Conductance in Different Poly(ethylene glycol)–Water Mixed Solvents

The molar conductivities of NaCl in several poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)–water “mixed solvents” are presented as a function of the PEG content in solution. Three different PEG samples, a monodispersed one and two polydispersed ones, have been used. The comparison between the molar conductivity values in the mixed solvents and the corresponding ones in pure water shows that the only effect of PEG on the ions’ motions is an obstruction effect despite the variation of the macroscopic dielectric constant induced by PEG itself. A comparison between the molar conductivities and the corresponding mutual main diffusion coefficients shows a tight correlation between the two quantities. This correlation is possible only in the absence of electrostatic effects due to the presence of PEG.
