Kinetic analysis of the thermal stability of lithium silicates (Li4SiO4 and Li2SiO3)

The kinetics describing the thermal decomposition of Li₄SiO₄ and Li₂SiO₃ have been analysed. While Li₄SiO₄ decomposed on Li₂SiO₃ by lithium sublimation, Li₂SiO₃ was highly stable at the temperatures studied. Li₄SiO₄ began to decompose between 900 and 1000 °C. However, at 1100 °C or higher temperatures, Li₄SiO₄ melted, and the kinetic data of its decomposition varied. The activation energy of both processes was estimated according to the Arrhenius kinetic theory. The energy values obtained were −408 and −250 kJ mol⁻¹ for the solid and liquid phases, respectively. At the same time, the Li₄SiO₄ decomposition process was described mathematically as a function of a diffusion-controlled reaction into a spherical system. The activation energy for this process was estimated to be −331 kJ mol⁻¹. On the other hand, Li₂SiO₃ was not decomposed at high temperatures, but it presented a very high preferential orientation after the heat treatments.     

Theoretical Studies on Dehydrogenation Reactions in Mg2(BH4)2(NH2)2 Compounds

Borohydrides have been recently hightlighted as prospective new materials due to their high gravimetric capacities for hydrogen storage. It is, therefore, important to under-stand the underlying dehydrogenation mechanisms for further development of these ma-terials. We present a systematic theoretical investigation on the dehydrogenation mecha-nisms of theMg₂(BH₄)₂(NH₂)₂ compounds. We found that dehydrogenation takes place most likely via the intermolecular process, which is favorable both kinetically and thermo-dynamically in comparison with that of the intramolecular process. The dehydrogenation of Mg₂(BH₄)₂(NH₂)₂ initially takes place via the direct combination of the hydridic H in BH₄^- and the protic H in NH₂^-, followed by the formation of Mg-H and subsequent ionic recombination of Mg-H^δ- …H^δ+N.     

湿磨法制备纳米Li_4SiO_4材料用于高温捕集CO_2

采用不同硅源、锂源以湿磨法结合高温焙烧制备了纳米Li_4SiO_4材料,利用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)表征了合成材料的结构和表面形貌,利用热重分析仪(TG)研究了Li_4SiO_4材料高温下的CO_2吸收性能和循环使用稳定性。结果表明,湿磨法制备的Li_4SiO_4材料在550℃、2.5×104Pa下,10min可达吸收平衡,平衡吸收量为27.9%(质量分数),经五次吸收-解吸后仍保持初始吸收性能,显示了良好的循环稳定性。将25%CO_2-25%N2-50%He混合气通过Li_4SiO_4材料床层,发现在550℃下,CO_2能被高效捕集,在相对湿度为10%的水汽存在下,Li_4SiO_4捕集CO_2的性能没有明显下降。     

The system NiAl2O4Ni2SiO4 at high pressures and temperatures: Spinelloids with spinel-related structures

Phase relations in the system NiAl₂O₄Ni₂SiO₄ were studied in the pressure range 1.5 ～ 13.0 GPa and in the temperature range 800 ～ 1450°C. Two new phases, IV and V, were found in regions of pressure higher than 4 GPa. Phase V disproportionates into a mixture of Ni₂SiO₄-spinel, NiO, and Al₂O₃ at approximately 9.5 GPa and 1100°C. Phases III, IV, and V form a solid solution in some compositional range: phases IV and V have a composition around NiAl₂O₄·Ni₂SiO₄, whereas phase III spreads from NiAl₂O₄·Ni₂SiO₄ to the NiAl₂O₄-rich side. All the phases I ～ V are structurally considered to be spinel derivatives, “spinelloids,” with three kinds of tetrahedral groups; isolated tetrahedra TO₄, linked ones T₂O₇, and triply linked ones T₃O₁₀. The ratios of isolated tetrahedra to linked ones are large in the higher-pressure phases and small in the lower-pressure phases. The difference of compositional range of phase III from that of phases IV and V is possibly explained by the avoidance of linked tetrahedra such as O₃AlOAlO₃.

Crystal structure and structural disorder of (Ba0.65Ca0.35)2SiO4

Crystal structure and structural disorder of (Ba_0.65Ca_0.35)₂SiO₄ were investigated by laboratory X-ray powder diffraction (CuKα₁). The initial structural model with eleven independent atoms in the unit cell was determined using direct methods, and it was further modified to a split-atom model, in which the two types of Ba/Ca atoms and two types of SiO₄ tetrahedra were, respectively, positionally and orientationally disordered. The crystal structure is trigonal (space group , Z=4) with lattice dimensions a=0.57505(1) nm, c=1.46706(2) nm and V=0.42014(1) nm³. The validity of the structural model was verified by the three-dimensional electron density distribution, the structural bias of which was reduced as much as possible using the maximum-entropy methods-based pattern fitting (MPF). The final reliability indices calculated from the MPF were R_wp=9.56% (S=1.48), R_p=7.29%, R_B=1.82% and R_F=0.88%. This compound is most probably homeotypic to glaserite.     

Preparation and electrochemical study of a new magnesium intercalation material Mg1.03Mn0.97SiO4

Orthorhombic magnesium manganese silicate (Mg_1.03Mn_0.97SiO₄) was prepared and evaluated as a new cathode material for rechargeable magnesium batteries. Although the electrochemical activity of the Mg_1.03Mn_0.97SiO₄ synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction is low, the magnesium storage capacity of nanosized Mg_1.03Mn_0.97SiO₄ prepared by modified sol–gel route and in situ carbon coating reaches 244 mAh g⁻¹. The capacity increase mechanism during charge/discharge cycling was also preliminary studied.     

Ba3 (VO4)2-K2 Ba(MoO4)2 and Pb3 (VO4)2-K2 Pb(MoO4)2 systems

Phase equilibria in the Ba₃(VO₄)₂-K₂Ba(MoO₄)₂ and Pb3(VO₄)₂-K₂Pb(MoO₄)₂ systems have been investigated. In the first system, a continuous series of substitutional solid solutions with the palmierite structure is formed, and in the second one, the polymorphic transition in lead orthovanadate at 100°C restricts the extent of the palmierite-type solid solution to 10–100 mol % K₂Pb(MoO₄)₂.

Li4SiO4对CO2捕集性能的实验研究

以Li₂CO₃和SiO₂为原料,通过高温固相合成法合成了CO₂捕集剂Li₄SiO₄,并用X射线粉末衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对所合成的材料在CO₂捕集前后的晶相变化以及微观结构进行了表征。通过热重分析仪(TGA)研究了Li₄SiO₄材料吸附CO₂的性能,并在小型热态实验台架上进行了CO₂热态捕集实验。实验结果表明,Li₄SiO₄对CO₂的捕集性能受Li₄SiO₄合成温度、CO₂的吸附温度以及气体中CO₂含量的影响,在700 ℃下制得的Li₄SiO₄具有最佳的CO₂吸附特性,最大吸附增量可达34%。Li₄SiO₄的吸附能力随着CO₂含量和吸附时间的增加而增加,当CO₂浓度分别为75%、67%、60%时,700 ℃ Li₄SiO₄对CO₂最大吸附量分别可达6.68 mmol/g、3.37 mmol/g、2.02 mmol/g (理论量8.33 mmol/g)。     

MWNT/C/Mg1.03Mn0.97SiO4 hierarchical nanostructure for superior reversible magnesium ion storage

We first design and synthesize a MWNT/C/Mg_1.03Mn_0.97SiO₄ hierarchical nanostructure composed of MWNTs pinning the surface of the Mg_1.03Mn_0.97SiO₄ nanoparticles, with simultaneous tethering to Mg_1.03Mn_0.97SiO₄ particles via an interfacial amorphous carbon phase bonding, through a facile CVD method. It is further demonstrated that the nanocomposite exhibits a reversible capacity as high as 300 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.2 C and a stable cycling performance at 0.5 C when utilized as a cathode material for rechargeable magnesium batteries.     

Ti掺杂的MgH2和Mg2NiH4的放氢性能

以TiF₃和Ti(OBu-n)₄为催化剂, 研究了Ti离子掺杂对MgH₂和Mg₂NiH₄放氢性能的影响. 结果表明, 未掺杂的MgH₂起始放氢温度为420 ℃, 掺杂TiF₃和Ti(OBu-n)₄后分别降低到360和410 ℃; Mg₂NiH₄在掺杂TiF₃后放氢温度由230 ℃降低到220 ℃, 而掺杂Ti(OBu-n)₄后没有变化. 可见无论对MgH₂或Mg₂NiH₄, 在降低放氢温度方面TiF₃都明显优于Ti(OBu-n)₄. 另外, 研究还发现, TiF₃掺杂对MgH₂放氢动力学有显著的提高, 但对Mg₂NiH₄没有明显的提高. 结合XRD和FTIR的测试分析, 我们认为: 催化作用很大程度上取决于氢化物自身的晶体结构和催化剂的电子结构; 降低氢化物放氢温度和提高动力学性能的原因是催化剂与氢化物之间的相互作用削弱了氢化物中Mg—H或Ni—H键, 使得活泼的H…H原子对容易形成, 从而有利于H₂的释出.     

A new three-dimensional cobalt phosphate: Co5(OH2)4(HPO4)2(PO4)2

A three-dimensional (3D) cobalt phosphate: Co₅(OH₂)₄(HPO₄)₂(PO₄)₂ (1), has been synthesized by hydrothermal reaction and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and magnetic techniques. The title compound is a template free cobalt phosphate. Compound 1 exhibits a complex net architecture based on edge- and corner-sharing of CoO₆ and PO₄ polyhedra. The magnetic susceptibility measurements indicated that the title compound obeys Curie-Weiss behavior down to a temperature of 17 K at which an antiferromagnetic phase transition occurs.     

Sb2O4 at high pressures and high temperatures

Investigations on Sb₂O₄ at high pressure and temperature have been performed up to 600 °C and up to 27.3 GPa. The so-called “high temperature” phase (β-Sb₂O₄) was obtained following pressure increase at ambient temperature and at relatively low temperatures. Thus, in contrast to previous perceptions, β-Sb₂O₄ is the modification more stable at high pressures, i.e., at low temperatures. The fact that the metastable α-form is typically obtained through the conventional way of preparation has to be attributed to kinetic effects. The pressure-induced phase transitions have been monitored by in-situ X-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell, and confirmed ex-situ, by X-ray diffraction at ambient conditions, following temperature decrease and decompression in large volume devices. Bulk modulus values have been derived from the pressure-induced volume changes at room temperature, and are 143 GPa for α-Sb₂O₄ and 105 GPa for the β-Sb₂O₄.     

Crystal structures of phosphomolybdyl salts: Pb(MoO2)2(PO4)2 and Ba(MoO2)2(PO4)2

Crystal structures of Pb(MoO₂)₂(PO₄)₂ and Ba(MoO₂)₂(PO₄)₂ were determined. Both compounds contain the molybdyl group MoO₂. The monoclinic unit-cell parameters are a = 6.353(7), b = 12.289(4), c = 11.800 Å, β = 92°56(6), and Z = 4 for the lead salt and a = 6.383(8), b = 7.142(7), c = 9.953(8) Å, β = 95°46(8), and Z = 2 for the barium salt. $\text{P2}{}_1\text{c}$ is the common space group. The R values are respectively R = 0.027 and R = 0.031 for 1964 and 1714 independent reflections. The frameworks built up by a three-dimensional network of monophosphate PO₄ and molybdyl MoO₂ groups are similar, characterized mainly by corner-sharing PO₄ and MoO₆ polyhedra. Two oxygen atoms of each MoO₆ group are bonded to the molybdenum atom only as in other molybdyl salts.     

Solid solubility and cation distribution in the system Co2GeO4Mg2GeO4

In the system Co₂GeO₄Mg₂GeO₄, solid solubilities in spinel and olivine structures were studied on samples prepared by solid state reaction at temperatures of 1000–1300°C. The solubility limits were determined from the identification by X-ray powder pattern and the change of the lattice constant of spinel with composition. The relation between temperature and the free energy difference ΔG° which was estimated from the solubility limits agreed qualitatively with the fact that the spinel phase of Mg₂GeO₄ is stable at low temperatures under atmospheric pressure. The spinels were also synthesized at 800°C under the pressure of 20 kb. Over the whole range of composition, the cation distribution was found to be normal with u = 0.375. Above 1000°C under 20 kb in the presence of water, the spinels, except Co₂GeO₄, were found to react with water to form enstatite and probably magnesium hydroxide in an amorphous state.     

Structural transitions at high temperature in Sr2Fe2O5

The high-temperature behavior of Sr₂Fe₂O₅ has been well characterized by various techniques (DTA, X-ray diffraction, magnetic measurements) paying particular attention to keep the nominal composition constant. The transition from the low-temperature ordered form (with brownmillerite structure) to the high-temperature disordered form (of perovskite structure) has been explained in terms of microdomain formation. A structural model is proposed and discussed.     

Low temperature phase transition studies on Pb(Mg0.5W0.5)O3 ceramic

We present here the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), dielectric and calorimetric studies on lead magnesium tungustate, Pb(Mg_0.5W_0.5)O₃ (PMW) ceramic. It is shown that the low temperature antiferroelectric phase of PMW having orthorhombic structure (space group Pmcn) transforms to paraelectric cubic (space group Fm3m) phase at 281 K. The phase transition is of first order character as confirmed by coexistence of Pmcn and Fm3m phases over wide temperature range ∼50 K. The first order character of phase transition is also revealed by the observation of thermal hysteresis in the real part of dielectric permittivity and calorimetric studies. We do not find any evidence for the additional intermediate phase between antiferroelectric (Pmcn) and paraelectric (Fm3m) phases as reported in the literature. Anomalies in the heat flow and dielectric measurements support the finding of our XRD results and reveals that the phase transition temperature (T_c) is 281 K instead of 312 K reported in the literature.     

Investigation of phase equilibria in the systems K2SO4Sc2(SO4)3, Rb2SO4Sc2(SO4)3 and Cs2SO4Sc2(SO4)3

Phase diagrams of the systems K₂SO₄Sc₂(SO₄)₃, Rb₂SO ₄Sc₂(SO₄)₃ and Cs₂SO₄ Sc₂(SO₄)₃ have been investigated by X-ray diffraction phase analysis and differential thermal analysis techniques. A salient feature of all the systems is the formation of M₃Sc(SO₄)₃, which melt incongruently, and MSc(SO₄)₂, which on heating decompose in the solid state.
