The structure of AgI-Ag2O-V2O5 glasses

Structures of 10AgI-3Ag₂O-2V₂O₅, 3AgI-3Ag₂O---2V₂O₅ and 2AgI---2Ag₂O-V₂O₅ glasses have been investigated by neutron diffraction experiments. The characteristic features of observed structure factors S(Q) in 10AgI-3Ag₂O-2V₂O₅ glass is similar to those of other superionic conducting glasses and molten AgI. From the standpoint of the pair distribution functions, it is clarified that the Ag-I and I-I correlation strength and Ag---Ag correlation length increase with increasing AgI concentration. Observed results suggest that the local AgI structure accompanied by the re-arrangement of silver ions is formed with highly doped iodide ions.     

Ionic conduction properties of layer-type oxides NaxMx/2Ti1−x/2O2 (M=Ni, Co; 0.60≤x≤1.0)

Layer-type oxide Na_xM_x/2^IITi_1−x/2^IVO₂ (M=Co, Ni; 0.60≤x≤1.0) has been prepared by solid state reactions. In both series, two structural variants of type -NaFeO₂ (O3) and β-RbScO₂ (P2) have been obtained consecutively as x decreases with a borderline composition around x_c0.7. With the decrease of x, the ionic conductivity has been found to increase up to 8.4×10⁻² S cm⁻¹ at 770 K (Na_0.67Co_0.33Ti_0.67O₂). Compositions of P2 have been found to exhibit the conductivity values two to five times greater than those of O3, primarily due to the larger rectangular threshold available for the diffusion of Na⁺ ions. Such a structural effect has also been considered to depend on the polarizability of alkali ion. HT-XRD and ²³Na-NMR data of Na_0.67Co_0.33Ti_0.67O₂ strongly suggest that the diffusion of Na⁺ ion is deeply related with the local distortion of trigonal prismatic sites, leading to the change of activation energy around 430 K.

We report normal-state and superconducting properties of the clathrate-type silver-oxide Ag₆O₈AgHF₂. We present electrical resistivity, DC- and AC-susceptibility and specific-heat measurements of single crystalline Ag₆O₈AgHF₂.

Lu2Ti2O7和Lu2TiO5陶瓷材料的Kr离子辐照损伤研究

钛酸盐因其优异的物理化学性能,可作为高放射性核废物（HLW）和锕系元素（钚）的重要候选固化材料之一。采用传统的陶瓷烧结工艺制备了多晶的Lu₂Ti₂O₇和Lu₂TiO₅陶瓷材料。在室温下,用800 keVKr2+对两种材料进行辐照,辐照后的样品采用GIXRD进行表征,观察到两种样品都经历了先肿胀、然后再发生非晶相变的过程。不同的是Lu₂Ti₂O₇的晶格肿胀程度大于Lu₂TiO₅。另外,Lu₂TiO₅样品的辐照到2×10₁₄ ions/cm₂时非晶含量达95.54%,而Lu₂Ti₂O₇样品在此剂量下非晶含量只有74.66%。通过第一性原理计算了Lu₂Ti₂O₇晶体的晶格肿胀随反位浓度的变化关系,结果表明,Lu₂Ti₂O₇出现非晶前的晶格肿胀主要由阳离子反位导致,而Lu₂TiO₅是无序的萤石结构,其辐照所导致的晶格肿胀不含阳离子反位的贡献,晶格肿胀程度较低。

本文利用第一性原理和准谐近似的方法研究了一系列钛酸盐烧绿石,即RE₂Ti₂O₇（RE=Gd,Y,Ho,Er）的结构、机械性能及热学性质。研究结果表明,在基态下RE₂Ti₂O₇具有良好的抗压、抗剪切能力。并且,由于这些化合物的齐纳指数接近于1,可近似地看作各向同性材料。此外,计算得到的热膨胀系数在高温区与实验值符合得较好。在500~1 500 K温度区间内,平均热膨胀系数为（10.4~13.1）×10-6 K-1。基于Slack模型,我们还计算了这些材料的晶格热导率,当温度等于1 000 K时,这四种物质的热导率在区间（1.5~4.9）W·m-1·K-1内。     

CaCu3Ti4O12 陶瓷介电模量响应特性的研究

由于CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂巨介电常数陶瓷的低频区直流电导较大, 本文采用模量 M"-f频谱表征与分析了低频和高频的两个松弛极化过程. 研究认为, 这两个特征峰属于晶界区Schottky 势垒耗尽层边缘深陷阱的电子松弛过程, 其中高频松弛峰起源于晶粒本征缺陷的电子松弛过程, 而低频松弛峰则为与氧空位有关的松弛极化过程. 对于CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂这类低频下具有高直流电导的陶瓷材料, 采用模量频谱能更有效地分析研究其损耗极化机理. 关键词： 3Ti₄O₁₂陶瓷')" href="#">CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂陶瓷 模量 松弛过程 电导     

CaCu3Ti4O12 陶瓷松弛损耗机理研究

CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂介电损耗较大且损耗机理尚不明确, 因此限制了其应用.本文采用固相法和共沉淀法合成CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂陶瓷, 利用宽带介电温谱研究在交流小信号作用下, 双Schottky势垒耗尽层边缘深陷阱的电子松弛过程、 载流子松弛过程以及CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂陶瓷的介电损耗性能. 研究发现, 在低频下以跳跃电导和直流电导的响应为主, 而高频下主要为深陷阱能级的松弛过程所致, 特别是活化能为0.12 eV的深陷阱浓度, 这是决定CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂陶瓷高频区介电损耗的重要因素.降低直流电导, 有利于降低低频区介电损耗; 而高频区介电损耗的降低, 需要降低深陷阱浓度或增大晶粒尺寸. 共沉淀法制备的CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂陶瓷, 有效降低直流电导及控制深陷阱浓度, 介电损耗降低明显. 关键词： 3Ti₄O₁₂陶瓷')" href="#">CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂陶瓷 介电损耗 松弛过程 Schottky势垒     

具有本征低晶格热导率的硫化银快离子导体的热电性能

硫化银(Ag_2S)是一种典型的快离子导体材料,前期关于Ag_2S的研究主要集中在光电和生物等领域.最近的研究表明, a-Ag_2S具有和金属一样的良好延展性和变形能力.但是, Ag_2S的热电性能尚无公开报道.本工作合成了单相Ag_2S化合物,系统研究了其在300—600 K范围的物相变化、离子迁移特性和电热输运性质.研究发现, Ag_2S在300—600 K温度区间表现出半导体的电输运性质.由于单斜-体心立方相晶体结构转变, Ag_2S的离子电导率、载流子浓度、迁移率、电导率、泽贝克系数等性质在455 K前后出现急剧变化.在550 K, Ag_2S的功率因子最高可达5μW·cm~(–1)·K~(–2). Ag_2S在300—600 K温度区间均表现出本征的低晶格热导率(低于0.6 W·m~(–1)·K~(–1)). S亚晶格中随机分布的类液态Ag离子是导致b-Ag_2S体心立方相具有低晶格热导率的主要原因.在573 K, Ag_2S的热电优值可达0.55,与Ag_2Se, Ag_2Te, CuAgSe等已报道的Ag基快离子导体热电材料的性能相当.     

Aliovalent ionic substitution as a probe of conduction mechanism

Silver and sodium have qualitatively different diffraction-determined ionic distributions in the conduction planes of a β-alumina host. That this can imply different conduction mechanisms in the two cases is probed by partially exchanging Cd²⁺ ions into both compounds, and measuring the resulting mixed-ion distributions. The systems Ag_{1.22 − y}Cd_y/2Al₁₁O_17.11 (for y = 0, 0.10, 0.41 and 1.11) and Na_{1.22 − y}Cd_y/2Al₁₁O_17.11 for (y = 0, 0.22, 0.45 and 1.22) were investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The problematical use of diffraction techniques for highly disordered systems of this type is discussed; it is also shown how some of these difficulties can be reduced through access to additional physical and chemical information. Qualitatively different mechanisms are deduced in the two cases, suggesting that aliovalent substitution can indeed be a useful general tool in studying ionic conduction mechanisms in crystalline systems.     

R型铁氧体BaFe4-xTi2+xO11的化学组态以及磁性行为的研究

本文通过传统的固相反应法制备了R型六角铁氧体BaFe_4-xTi_2+xO₁₁ (x= 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1), 并且对它的原子价态以及磁性行为进行了研究. X 射线光电子能谱(XPS)结果显示了随着掺杂含量的增加, 体系中Fe³⁺离子逐渐减少而Fe²⁺离子逐渐增加. 由于具有非对称结构的阻挫晶格中存在各种关联作用的竞争, 使得BaFe_4-xTi_2+xO₁₁体系表现出了复杂的磁有序行为, 在T₁～250 K和T₂～83 K两处存在磁转变. 对这一系列掺杂样品, 在相变温度T₁之上表现顺磁行为, 而在相变温度T₂前后的磁化强度都表现出低场下随磁场的增加快速增加, 高场下则线性变化且在5×10⁴ Oe时还未达到饱和的行为, 表明这一系列掺杂样品是典型的倾斜反铁磁态(canted antiferromagnetic) 或者亚铁磁态.     

Electrical properties of ZrO2-In2O3-Y2O3 and its application to a membrane for gas separation

Electrical properties of In₂O₃-doped yttria-stabilized zirconia (In-YSZ) were investigated. The solubility limit of In₂O₃ in YSZ (10 mol% Y₂O₃) is 17.5 mol%. The total conductivity depended on the concentration of In₂O₃. The activation energy of In-YSZ was higher than that of YSZ. From the oxygen partial pressure (P_o2) dependence of the total conductivity of In-YSZ, the electronic conductivity increased with increasing In₂O₃ concentration at low oxygen partial pressures and at high temperature. From the results, we discussed the applicability of In-YSZ to a membrane for hydrogen production from direct water splitting at high temperature.     

The microscopic features of (Li0.5La0.5)TiO3

In ionic conducting materials, the crystal structure is closely related to the ionic conductivity. In this research we studied the microscopic features of Li_0.5La_0.5TiO₃ which exhibited a lithium ionic conductivity as high as 1×10⁻³ Scm⁻¹ at room temperature by XRD, TEM and SIMS. It was found that the superstructure was caused by the ordering of La⁺³ and vacancy, producing the 2a_p×2a_p×2a_p unit cell. This ordering was found to be regular in microscopic region, but became irregular in macroscopic region. Li⁺ showed a random distribution which meet the needs for the fast ionic conduction. The second phase was found to be Li₂TiO₃ which existed in the grain boundary junctions.     

Ionic conduction and dielectric relaxation in Ag/Na ion-exchanged aluminosilicate glasses: mixed mobile ion effect and KWW relaxation

Ag⁺/Na⁺ ion-exchanged aluminosilicate glasses with uniform concentration profiles were prepared, and their electrical conductivities were investigated as functions of the ion-exchange ratio and the initial glass compositions. In the case of the ion-exchanged glasses of x20Ag₂O–(1−x)20Na₂O–10Al₂O₃–70SiO₂ in mol%, the conductivity, σ, and its activation energy, E_σ, showed a minimum and a maximum at the same ion-exchange ratio x=0.3, respectively, and the mixed mobile ion effect (MMIE) was observed. The fully ion-exchanged sample attained σ=3.5×10⁻⁵ S/cm at 200 °C, which was 1.5 orders of magnitude larger than that of initial glass. In the case of x25Ag₂O–(1−x)25Na₂O–25Al₂O₃–50SiO₂, the mixed mobile ion effect was also observed at x=0.5. The maximum conductivity of 2×10⁻⁴ S/cm at 200 °C was obtained in the fully ion-exchanged glass sample.

The electric relaxation analysis was also conducted on both systems, and Kohlrausch–Williams–Watts (KWW) fractional exponent β was obtained as a function of x. The decrease of β was observed near x≈0.3 in the former system, while that of the later system was independent of the ion-exchange ratio. Based on the structural analysis results, the observed behaviors were investigated from the point of view of the occupation of Ag⁺ ions on the non-bridging oxygen-site (NBO-site) and the charge compensation-site (CC-site) of AlO₄ tetrahedral unit.     

Investigation of the relationship between the ionic conductivity and the local structures of singly and doubly doped ceria compounds using EXAFS measurement

The oxide ionic conductivity measurements of singly and doubly doped ceria compounds were carried out. Singly and doubly doped ceria used in this study were Ce_0.8Ln_0.2O_1.9 (Ln=Y, Sm, Nd, or La) and Ce_0.8La_0.1Y_0.1O_1.9, respectively. Lattice constants of these compounds were in proportion to the ionic radius of the dopant(s). The doubly doped ceria compound showed oxide ionic conductivity comparative to the average of that of each corresponding singly doped sample. This finding indicates that the conductivity is influenced by both dopants in the doubly doped compounds. The extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) study showed that the coordination number of oxide ions at the nearest neighbor of cation was related to the ionic conductivity. It was found that the conductivity gave the highest value when oxygen vacancies were randomly distributed in the lattice. This indicates that the local structure seriously affects oxide ionic conduction in singly and doubly doped ceria compounds.     

Niobium based tetragonal tungsten bronzes as potential anodes for solid oxide fuel cells: synthesis and electrical characterisation

In this paper we report studies on a range of niobate based tungsten bronzes, with a view to analysing their potential as anode materials in SOFCs. Six systems were studied, (Sr_1−xBa_x)_0.6Ti_0.2Nb_0.8O₃, Sr_0.6−xLa_xTi_0.2+xNb_0.8−xO₃, (Sr_0.4−xBa_x)Na_0.2NbO₃, (Ba_1−xCa_x)_0.6Ti_0.2Nb_0.8O₃, Ba_0.5−xA_xNbO₃ (A=Ca, Sr), and Ba_0.3NbO_2.8, and the electrical conductivities were examined over a range of oxygen partial pressures (10⁻²⁰–1 bar). All the systems showed good conductivity in low oxygen partial pressures, with values as high as 8 S cm⁻¹ at 930°C (P(O₂)=10⁻²⁰ bar). As the oxygen partial pressure was raised the conductivity dropped showing in most cases an approximate [P(O₂)]^−1/4 dependence and good re-oxidation kinetics. Of all the samples studied the (Sr_1−xBa_x)_0.6Ti_0.2Nb_0.8O₃ and (Ba_1−xCa_x)_0.6Ti_0.2Nb_0.8O₃ systems appear most promising for potential use as anode materials in SOFCs.     

The role of Bi2O3 as a network modifier and a network former in xBi2O3 · (1 − x)LiBO2 glass system

The effect of Bi₂O₃ on the glass transition temperature, electrical conductivity and structure of LiBO₂ glass has been investigated. T_g vs. composition curve shows three different linear regions, while there is an overall decrease in T_g with the increase in Bi₂O₃ content. The slope of these three straight lines is in a decreasing order. These results are interpreted in terms of the increase in the number of non-bridging oxygen atoms, substitution of Bi-O bond in place of B-O bond and change in Li⁺ ion concentration. The conductivity vs. composition curve exhibits two maxima which are interpreted in terms of the structural modification effect of Bi₂O₃ on LiBO₂ network and mixed-former effect, respectively. Results obtained from the XPS studies of the samples of composition x 0.005, have shown that the number of non-bridging oxygen atoms from B-O bond increases with the increase in Bi₂O₃ content. It has a maximum value at x = 0.003 where the conductivity has also exhibited a maximum value. Further increase of Bi₂O₃ content causes decrease in it. For higher Bi₂O₃ content (x * > 0.005), O 1s spectra of Bi₂O₃ has been separated out from that of Bi₂O₃. Bismuth ions have been substituted for boron ions as network former ions.     

Thermal vibration in superionic conducting glass 5Agl–3Ag2O–2V2O5

The X-ray diffraction measurement for superionic conducting glass 5Agl–3Ag₂O–2V₂O₅ was carried out at 12, 100, 200 and 290 K. The temperature dependence of structure factor S(Q) of 5Agl–3Ag₂O–2V₂O₅ has been discussed based on the theoretical treatment that includes thermal vibration of atoms in noncrystalline materials. The effective overall Debye–Waller temperature parameter B increases with the increase of temperature.     

Dip-coated silver-doped V2O5 xerogels as host materials for lithium intercalation

Vanadium pentoxide xerogels have shown high electrochemical performance in terms of energy content. The high specific energy and high intercalation capability make the materials promising for thin film lithium battery and electrochromic device applications. In order to enhance the rate capabilities of the host we increased the electronic conductivity by doping the V₂O₅ xerogels with silver. Samples were prepared by mixing various amounts of silver powder with V₂O₅ hydrogel. We were able to prepare silver-doped vanadium pentoxide dip-coated thin films with a molar ratio (Ag/V) ranging from 0.005 to 0.5 (Ag_yV₂O₃ with y = 0.01, 0.1 and 1). With the successful doping, the electronic conductivity of V₂O₅ was increased by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude. The insertion capacity of the material was maintained and up to 4 moles of lithium per mole of silver-doped V₂O₅ (XRG) were found to be reversibly intercalated.
