Synthesis and CO2 capture property of high aspect-ratio Li2ZrO3 nanotubes arrays

High aspect-ratio Li₂ZrO₃ nanotubes were prepared by hydrothermal method using ZrO₂ nanotubes layers as templates. Characterizations of SEM, XRD, TEM and CO₂ adsorption were performed. The results showed that tetragonal Li₂ZrO₃ nanotubes arrays containing a little monoclinic ZrO₂ can be obtained using this simple method. The mean diameter of the nanotubes is approximately 150 nm and the corresponding specific surface area is 57.9 m² g⁻¹. Moreover, the obtained Li₂ZrO₃ nanotubes were thermally analyzed under a CO₂ flow to evaluate their CO₂ capture property. It was found that the as-prepared Li₂ZrO₃ nanotubes arrays would be an effective acceptor for CO₂ at high temperature.     

New Li+ ion conductors in the system Li4SiO4−Li3AsO4

In the system Li₄SiO₄-Li₃AsO₄, Li₄SiO₄ forms a short range of solid solutions containing up to 14 to 20% Li₃AsO ₄, depending on temperature, and γ-Li₃AsO₄ forms a more extensive range of solid solutions containing up to ≈55% Li₄SiO₄. The Li₄SiO₄-Li₃AsO₄ phase diagram has been determined and is of binary eutectic character. The ac conductivity of polycrystalline samples was measured over the range 0 to at least 300°C for nine different compositions. The two solid solution series have much higher conductivity than the pure end-members; maximum conductivity was observed in the γ-Li₃AsO₄ solid solutions containing ≈40 to 55% Li₄SiO₄, with values of $\text{≈2×10}{}^{\mathrm{?6}}\text{Ω}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ at 20°C rising to ≈0.02 Ω^?1 cm^?1 at 300°C. These values are comparable to those found in the system Li₄SiO₄-Li₃PO₄. The variation with composition of the Arrhenius prefactor and activation energy has been interpreted in terms of the mechanisms of conduction. Li₃AsO₄ is a poor conductor essentially because the number of mobile Li⁺ ions is very small. This number, and hence the conductivity, increases dramatically on forming solid solutions with Li₄SiO₄, by the creation of interstitial Li⁺ ions. At ≈40 to 55% Li₄SiO₄, the number of mobile Li⁺ ions appears to be optimised. An explanation for the change in activation energy of conduction at ≈290°C in Li₄SiO₄ and at higher temperatures in Li₄SiO₄ solid solutions is given in terms of order-disorder of the Li⁺ ions.     

Ion diffusion in the high-temperature phases Li2SO4, LiNaSO4, LiAgSO4 and Li4Zn(SO4)3

Diffusion in the four high-temperature sulphate phases Li₂SO₄, LiNaSO₄, LiAgSO₄ and Li₄Zn(SO₄)₃ was studied extensively some 20–30 years ago. We have now carried out a re-evaluation where we include information obtained from a number of studies of other properties. The data are adjusted slightly due to the use of another type of regression analysis. It is characteristic of the four phases that they are both plastic crystals and solid electrolytes (superionic conductors). The cause of the high conductivity is that the mobility of the cations is strongly enhanced by the rotational motion of the translationally static sulphate ions. This is observed not only for the abundant cations, but also for other cations present (mono- as well as polyvalent) and for monovalent anions. Furthermore, both bulk diffusion and transfer along high diffusivity paths are affected. In addition, one can distinguish between different contributions to the bulk diffusion. The ionic radius is a very important parameter, since it determines the solid solubility and the distribution of the ions between the sites that are available in the lattice. All this affects the relative importance of several competing diffusion mechanisms. This gives a qualitative explanation of an anomalous correlation which has been observed in FCC Li₂SO₄ for monovalent ions (cations as well as anions), namely that both the diffusion coefficients D, and the activation energies Q, decrease when the radius is increased. This holds for hard-core cations (Li, Na, K, Rb), polarizable cations (Ag, Tl) and anions (F, Cl, Br). On the other hand, the situation is normal for divalent cations for which an increase in D corresponds to a decrease in Q. This is the case for hard-core ions (Mg, Ca) as well as for polarizable ones (Zn, Cd, Pb). Migration of the large ions Cs⁺ and SO²⁻₄ appears to be specially sensitive to how the experiment is prepared. Diffusion in BCC LiNaSO₄ and LiAgSO₄ has been studied for the two main cations as well as for some dopant ions. A general conclusion is that studies of diffusion of several ions in the same structure can give information that cannot be obtained by other types of experiments.

Lithium motion in Li0.33 TiS2 and Li0.94 TiS2

We have studied the motion of lithium ions in Li_xTiS₂ (x = 0.33, 0.94) using pulsed NMR techniques. The temperature dependences of the spin lattice relaxation in the rotating frame (T_1?) suggest comparable activation energies for lithium ion diffusion for both samples, 3370 K, but an appreciably longer hopping time for the x = 0.94 sample. Low temperature values of T₂ agree with calculated and measured second moments for both materials.     

Identification of the Li sites in the Li ion conductor, Li6SrLa2Nb2O12, through neutron powder diffraction studies

In this paper a neutron powder diffraction structural study of the Li ion conducting garnet-related system, Li₆SrLa₂Nb₂O₁₂, is reported. The results show that this phase is cubic, space group Ia-3d, and contains Li in two partially occupied crystallographic sites. The first site, Li1, corresponds to the ideal tetrahedral site in the garnet framework and possesses an occupancy of 0.59(1). The second site, Li2, is significantly more distorted and possesses an occupancy of 0.352(3). Compared to the related Li₅La₃Nb₂O₁₂ system, the Li2 site occupancy is greatly increased, while the Li1 site occupancy is reduced. Despite these large differences in site occupancies, the reported conductivities for Li₅La₃Nb₂O₁₂ and Li₆SrLa₂Nb₂O₁₂ are similar, showing the complexities of these new garnet Li ion conductors.     

Li+ ion conducting γ solid solutions in the systems Li4XO4-Li3YO4: X=Si,Ge, Ti; Y=P,As, V; Li4XO4-LiZO2: Z=Al,Ga, Cr and Li4GeO4-Li2CaGeO4

A wide variety of solid solutions with a structure related to that of γ Li₃PO₄ may be prepared. These include materials such as lisicon, Li_2+2xZn_1-xGeO₄ and the title systems, many of which have not been studied previously. Conductivity data are presented for eight systems: Li₄GeO₄-Li₃(P, As, V)O₄; Li₄TiO₄-Li₃(As, V)O₄; Li₄GeO₄-Li(Ga, Al)O₂; Li₄GeO₄-Li₂CaGeO₄ and the results compared with those reported in the literature for Li₄SiO₄-Li₃(P, As, V)O₄ systems and lisicon. dc polarisation measurements were made on four of the system and it was found that the electronic transference number is 10^?4 or less. The materials with the highest conductivity were found in the systems, Li₄ (Ge, Ti) O₄-Li₃ (As, V)O₄ with σ ~ (3 to 4) × 10^?5 Ω^?1 cm^?1 at room temperature. It is noted that the systems with the highest conductivity are generally those with the largest unit cell volume.

Ionic transport in the lithium nitride bromides,Li6NBr3 and Li1 3N4Br

The ionic and electronic conductivities of the lithium nitride bromides Li₆NBr₃ and Li_{1 3}N₄Br have been studied in the temperature range from 50 to 220°C and 120 to 450°C, respectively. Both compounds are practically pure lithium ion conductors with negligible electronic contribution. Li₆NBr₃ has an ionic conductivity Ω of 2 × 10^-6Ω^-1cm^-1 at 100°C and an activation enthalpy for σT of 0.46 eV. Li_{1 3}N₄Br shows a phase transition at about 230°C. The activation enthalpy for σT is 0.73 eV below and 0.47 eV above this temperature. The conductivities at 150 and 300°C were found to be 3.5 × 10^-6 Ω^-1cm^-1 and 1.4 × 10^-3Ω^-1cm^-1, respectively. The crystal structure is hexagonal at room temperature with $\text{a = 7.415 (1)}\text{A}\text{?}$ and $\text{c = 3.865 (1)}\text{A}\text{?}$.     

Electronic structure of Li3GaN2

First principles calculations, by means of the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the local density approximation, were carried out for the electronic properties of Li₃GaN₂. The calculated lattice parameter is in good agreement with the measured one. The bandgap is direct at the Brillouin zone centre. The Li-N and Ga-N bonds are both ionic with a small covalent character of the latter one.     

Emission features of Ho ion in Nb2O5, Ta2O5 and La2O3 mixed Li2O-ZrO2-SiO2 glasses

Li₂O-ZrO₂-SiO₂: Ho³⁺ glasses mixed with three interesting d-block elemental oxides, viz., Nb₂O₅, Ta₂O₅ and La₂O₃, were prepared. Optical absorption and photoluminescence spectra of these glasses have been recorded at room temperature. The luminescence spectra of Nb₂O₅ and Ta₂O₅ mixed Li₂O-ZrO₂-SiO₂ glasses (free of Ho³⁺ ions) have also exhibited broad emission band in the blue region. This band is attributed to radiative recombination of self-trapped excitons (STEs) localized on substitutionally positioned octahedral Ta⁵⁺ and Nb⁵⁺ ions in the glass network. The Judd-Ofelt theory was successfully applied to characterize Ho³⁺ spectra of all the three glasses. From this theory various radiative properties, like transition probability A, branching ratio β_r and the radiative lifetime τ_r, for ⁵S₂ emission levels in the spectra of these glasses have been evaluated. The radiative lifetime for ⁵S₂ level of Ho³⁺ ions has also been measured and quantum efficiencies were estimated. Among the three glasses studied the La₂O₃ mixed glass exhibited the highest quantum efficiency. The reasons for such higher value have been discussed based on the relationship between the structural modifications taking place around the Ho³⁺ ions.

Ionic and electronic conduction of oxygen ion conductors in the Bi2O3−Y2O3 system

The ionic conduction of sintered samples of Bi₂O₃?Y₂O₃ containing 20–30 mol% Y₂O₃ has been investigated by means of ac conductivity experiments and EMF measurement of an oxygen concentration cell using the specimen tablet as electrolyte. Ac conductivity was measured at a frequency of 10 kHz under oxygen partial pressures ranging from 1 to 10^-21 atm. The results show that these materials possess high ionic conduction. The conductivities for samples containing 22.5–30 mol% Y₂O₃ are many times higher than those of stabilized zirconia-based solid electrolyte at corresponding temperatures. The ratio of E_meas./E_calc. of an oxygen concentration cell Pt∣O₂(air)∣Bi₂O₃?Y₂O₃∣O₂(pure oxygen)∣Pt is close to 1 which shows that the materials containing 22.5 to 30 mol% Y₂O₃ are nearly pure ionic conductors. The p-type conductivity is negligible at higher P_O2 values. The n-type conduction for a sample containing 27.5 mol% Y₂O₃ was investigated using the Coulomb titration technique in which the following cell was used: Pt Rh∣O₂(air)∣Bi₂O₃?Y₂O₃∣[O]_sn∣W.log P_é=-767000/T+665. P_é is equal to 2.6×10^-61 atm at 800°C. The n-type conductivity is also very small. Thus these materials are good oxygen ionic conductors.

Thermogalvanic power and fast ion conduction in δ-Bi2O3 and δ-(Bi2O3)1−x(R2O3)x with R = Y, Tb---Lu

The thermogalvanic power (Seebeck coefficient) of O^2- conducting δ-Bi₂O₃ and δ-(Bi₂O₃)_1−x(Y₂O₃)_x has been measured directly as a function of temperature and partial oxygen pressure in N₂---O₂ mixtures. The of δ-(Bi₂O₃)_0.75(R₂O₃)_0.25 with R = Tb---Lu was indirectly determined using an isothermal concentration cell technique. Except for pure δ-Bi₂O₃, the heat of transport is much smaller than the activation energy for O^2- conduction for all materials. The vibrational freedom of O²⁻ ions in all δ-stabilized materials is reflected in their IR spectra at room temperature. Two prototypes of a thermogalvanic P_O2 meter were tested.

The products were characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and absorption spectra. The PL spectra excited at 247 nm have a broad and strong blue emission band maximum at 376 nm, corresponding to the self-activated luminescence of the niobate octahedra group [NbO₆]⁷⁻. The optical absorption spectra of the samples sintered at temperatures of 600 and 700 °C exhibited the band-gap energies of 4.0 and 4.08 eV.     

Lithium insertion into Li4V3O8

The lithium insertion characteristics of lithium vanadate, Li₄V₃O₈, were investigated using LiV₃O₈ prepared by the precipitation technique as the starting material. The Li₄V₃O₈ phase was formed by lithiation over x=1.5 in Li_1+xV₃O₈, and the diffusion of lithium in this phase determined the reaction rate of insertion more than x=1.5. Improvement of insertion kinetics in the Li₄V₃O₈ phase extended the lithium insertion limit from x=3.2 to x=4.0, compared with the case of LiV₃O₈ by conventional high temperature synthesis. Lithium insertion proceeds as the single-phase reaction in the range of 3.2<x<4.0.
