Electrical conductivity studies in the system Li<Subscript>2</Subscript>TiO<Subscript>3</Subscript>-Li<Subscript>1.33</Subscript>Ti<Subscript>1.67</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>

Electrical conductivity in the monoclinic Li₂TiO₃, cubic Li_1.33Ti_1.67O₄, and in their mixture has been studied by impedance spectroscopy in the temperature range 20–730 °C. Li₂TiO₃ shows low lithium ion conductivity, σ₃₀₀≈10^–6 S/cm at 300 °C, whereas Li_1.33Ti_1.67O₄ has 3×10^–8 at 20 °C and 3×10^–4 S/cm at 300 °C. Structural properties are used to discuss the observed conductivity features. The conductivity dependences on temperature in the coordinates of 1000/T versus log_e(σT) are not linear, as the conductivity mechanism changes. Extrinsic and intrinsic conductivity regions are observed. The change in the conductivity mechanism in Li₂TiO₃ at around 500–600 °C is observed and considered as an effect of the first-order phase transition, not reported before. Formation of solid solutions of Li_{2– x} Ti_{1+ x} O₃ above 900 °C significantly increases the conductivity. Irradiation by high-energy (5 MeV) electrons causes defects and the conductivity in Li₂TiO₃ increases exponentially. A dose of 144 MGy yields an increase in conductivity of about 100 times at room temperature. Electronic Publication

Solubility isotherm for the Na<Subscript>2</Subscript>MoO<Subscript>4</Subscript>-Na<Subscript>2</Subscript>SO<Subscript>4</Subscript>-H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O system

Solubility in the Na₂MoO₄-Na₂SO₄-H₂O system was studied using isothermal saturation at 5–100°C. The boundaries of crystallization fields were determined for sodium sulfate and sodium molybdate. Solid solutions were not observed within the range of the temperatures studied. The density, refractive index, and dynamic viscosity of the saturated solutions of the system were determined, and these data were used to calculate the molar volume, kinematic viscosity, and apparent molar volume of the sum of salts in these solutions. All property isotherms of solutions are in a strict correlation with the solubility in the system; this correlation is represented as an isobaric-isothermal diagram.
