Data for new protocol to detect the monoclinic phase of La₂Mo₂O₉ and related oxide ion conductors.

ABSTRACT: In this data article we have presented the Rietveld refinement results of the X-ray diffraction data of both bulk and nanocrystalline La₂Mo₂O₉ and bulk La₂MoWO₉ oxide ion conductors at different temperatures. Bulk and nanocrystalline La₂Mo₂O₉ samples were prepared by conventional solid state reaction and glycine auto ignition method, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy is also employed to determine the grain size of the sample prepared via glycine auto ignition method.

Ga-doped Ca12Al14O33 mayenite oxide ion conductors: synthesis, defects, and electrical properties.

Project description:Although mayenite Ca12Al14O33 has been known as an oxygen ion conductor for several decades, its relatively low oxide ion conductivity limits its applications in electrochemical devices. Thus, many efforts have been made by researchers, employing a doping strategy, in order to further improve its ionic conductivity, but with little success. In this work, a series of pure phase Ca12Al14-x Ga x O33+δ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.2) materials were synthesized by a traditional solid state reaction method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy dispersion spectrum (EDS) analyses disclosed well-sintered ceramics with uniform Ga distributions. The defect formation energies for Ga replacing the two distinguishable Al1 and Al2 sites in Ca12Al14O33 calculated by static lattice atomistic simulation are nearly identical, ∼3.03 and ∼3.04 eV, respectively, consistent with the results of Rietveld refinements based on the XRD data, from which no preferred distribution of Ga on Al1 or Al2 site was observed. The electrical properties investigated by alternating current (AC) impedance spectroscopy show increased bulk conductivities for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4. Thus, here we present the first work that successfully improves the bulk oxide ion conductivity of Ca12Al14O33 by Ga-doping.

Insight into Design of Improved Oxide Ion Conductors: Dynamics and Conduction Mechanisms in the Bi0.913V0.087O1.587 Solid Electrolyte.

Project description:Extensive quasielastic neutron scattering measurements have been used to directly observe oxide ion dynamics on the nanosecond time scale in bismuth vanadate with formula Bi0.913V0.087O1.587, which exhibits remarkable oxide ion conductivity at low temperatures. This is the longest time scale neutron scattering study of any fluorite-type solid electrolyte, and it represents only the second case of oxide ion dynamics in any material observed on a nanosecond time scale by quasielastic neutron scattering. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations reveal two mechanisms that contribute to the oxide ion dynamics in the material: a slower diffusion process through the Bi-O sublattice and a faster process which corresponds to more localized dynamics of the oxide ions within the VO x coordination spheres. The length of the trajectories simulated and the validation of the simulations by neutron scattering experiments provide for the first time a quantitative insight into the relative contributions of the two processes to the oxide ion conduction in this exceptional solid electrolyte, which can be used to derive design principles for the preparation of related oxide ion conductors with even better properties.

Novel electronic properties of monoclinic MP4 (M = Cr, Mo, W) compounds with or without topological nodal line.

Project description:Transition metal phosphides hold novel metallic, semimetallic, and semiconducting behaviors. Here we report by ab initio calculations a systematical study on the structural and electronic properties of [Formula: see text] (M = Cr, Mo, W) phosphides in monoclinic C2/c ([Formula: see text]) symmetry. Their dynamical stabilities have been confirmed by phonon modes calculations. Detailed analysis of the electronic band structures and density of states reveal that [Formula: see text] is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of 0.47 eV in association with the p orbital of P atoms, while [Formula: see text] is a Dirac semimetal with an isolated nodal point at the [Formula: see text] point and [Formula: see text] is a topological nodal line semimetal with a closed nodal ring inside the first Brillouin zone relative to the d orbital of Mo and W atoms, respectively. Comparison of the phosphides with group VB, VIB and VIIB transition metals shows a trend of change from metallic to semiconducting behavior from [Formula: see text] to VIIB-[Formula: see text] compounds. These results provide a systematical understandings on the distinct electronic properties of these compounds.

La-doped BaSnO3 for electromagnetic shielding transparent conductors.

Project description:In this work, we find that La-doped BaSnO3 (BLSO) is shown to be a promising electromagnetic shielding transparent conductor. While films grown on industrially practical optoelectronic MgAl2O4 substrates have higher sheet resistance by three orders of magnitude than in previous reports, we show how to recover the sheet resistance close to the single-crystal level by use of an MgO template layer which enables high quality (001)-oriented BLSO epitaxial film growth on (001) MgAl2O4. There is a positive correlation between crystallinity and conductivity; high crystallinity minimizes scattering of free electrons. By applying this design principle to 5-20% doped films, we find that highly crystalline 5% La-doped BLSO films exhibit low sheet resistance of ~ 8.7 Ω ▯ -1, high visible transmittance of ~ 80%, and high X-band electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of ~ 25.9 dB, thus outperforming transparent conducting oxides films of Sn-doped In2O3 and SrMoO3.

Decoupled ultrafast electronic and structural phase transitions in photoexcited monoclinic VO2.

Project description:Photoexcitation has emerged as an efficient way to trigger phase transitions in strongly correlated materials. There are great controversies about the atomistic mechanisms of structural phase transitions (SPTs) from monoclinic (M1-) to rutile (R-) VO2 and its association with electronic insulator-metal transitions (IMTs). Here, we illustrate the underlying atomistic processes and decoupling nature of photoinduced SPT and IMT in nonequilibrium states. The photoinduced SPT proceeds in the order of dilation of V-V pairs and increase of twisting angles after a small delay of ~40 fs. Dynamic simulations with hybrid functionals confirm the existence of isostructural IMT. The photoinduced SPT and IMT exhibit the same thresholds of electronic excitations, indicating similar fluence thresholds in experiments. The IMT is quasi-instantaneously (<10 fs) generated, while the SPT takes place with time a constant of 100 to 300 fs. These findings clarify some key controversies in the literature and provide insights into nonequilibrium phase transitions in correlated materials.

Li1.5La1.5MO6 (M = W6+, Te6+) as a new series of lithium-rich double perovskites for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Solid-state batteries are a proposed route to safely achieving high energy densities, yet this architecture faces challenges arising from interfacial issues between the electrode and solid electrolyte. Here we develop a novel family of double perovskites, Li1.5La1.5MO6 (M = W6+, Te6+), where an uncommon lithium-ion distribution enables macroscopic ion diffusion and tailored design of the composition allows us to switch functionality to either a negative electrode or a solid electrolyte. Introduction of tungsten allows reversible lithium-ion intercalation below 1 V, enabling application as an anode (initial specific capacity >200 mAh g-1 with remarkably low volume change of ∼0.2%). By contrast, substitution of tungsten with tellurium induces redox stability, directing the functionality of the perovskite towards a solid-state electrolyte with electrochemical stability up to 5 V and a low activation energy barrier (<0.2 eV) for microscopic lithium-ion diffusion. Characterisation across multiple length- and time-scales allows interrogation of the structure-property relationships in these materials and preliminary examination of a solid-state cell employing both compositions suggests lattice-matching avenues show promise for all-solid-state batteries.

Structural Properties of Gas-Phase Molybdenum Oxide Clusters [Mo4O13]2-, [HMo4O13]-, and [CH3Mo4O13]- Studied by Collision-Induced Dissociation.

Project description:Molybdenum oxide-based catalysts are widely used for the ammoxidation of toluene, methanation of CO, or hydrodeoxygenation. As a first step towards a gas-phase model system, we investigate here structural properties of mass-selected [Mo4O13]2-, [HMo4O13]-, and [CH3Mo4O13]- by a combination of collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments and quantum chemical calculations. According to calculations, the common structural motif is an eight-membered ring composed of four MoO2 units and four O atoms. The 13th O atom is located above the center of the ring and connects two to four Mo centers. For [Mo4O13]2- and [HMo4O13]-, dissociation requires opening or rearrangement of the ring structure, which is quite facile for the doubly charged [Mo4O13]2-, but energetically more demanding for [HMo4O13]-. In the latter case, the hydrogen atom is found to stay preferentially with the negatively charged fragments [HMo2O7]- or [HMoO4]-. The doubly charged species [Mo4O13]2- loses one MoO3 unit at low energies while Coulomb explosion into the complementary fragments [Mo2O6]- and [Mo2O7]- dominates at elevated collision energies. [CH3Mo4O13]- affords rearrangements of the methyl group with low barriers, preferentially eliminating formaldehyde, while the ring structure remains intact. [CH3Mo4O13]- also reacts efficiently with water, leading to methanol or formaldehyde elimination.

Ag2Mo2O7: an oxide solid-state Ag+ electrolyte.

Project description:Ag2Mo2O7 powders and micro-crystals were prepared at 400 °C for 24 h and 500 °C for 6 h using solid-state reactions. The Ag2Mo2O7 samples crystalized in a triclinic P1̄ space group with the cell parameters a = 6.0972(1) Å, b = 7.5073(1) Å, c = 7.6779(2) Å, α = 110.43(1)°, β = 93.17(1)°, γ = 113.51(1)°, and V = 294.17(1) Å3 from Rietveld refinements. Ag2Mo2O7 powder is homogeneous with size of 2-8 μm and the ceramic pellets are in good sintering conditions with a relative density ∼93%. The indirect band gaps E g(i) of Ag2Mo2O7 from reflectance measurements and DFT calculations are 2.63(1) and 1.80 eV. The vibrational modes of Ag2Mo2O7 were investigated by first-principles (DFT) calculations and Raman spectrum measurements with 24 of 33 predicted Raman modes recorded. According to DOS analyses, the valence bands (VB) of Ag2Mo2O7 are mainly constituted of O-2p and Ag-4d orbitals, while the conduction bands (CB) are mainly composed of Mo-4d and the O-2p orbitals. Regarding the impedance analysis, Ag2Mo2O7 is a silver oxide ion electrolyte with a conductivity of ∼5 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 450 °C. The carrier activation energy of Ag2Mo2O7 is 0.88(3) eV from the temperature dependent conductivity measurements.

Effect of Relaxations on the Conductivity of La1/2+1/2x Li1/2-1/2x Ti1-x Al x O3 Fast Ion Conductors.

Project description:Perovskite-type solid-state electrolytes, Li3x La2/3-x TiO3 (LLTO), are considered among the most promising candidates for the development of all-solid-state batteries based on lithium metal. Their high bulk ionic conductivity can be modulated by substituting part of the atoms hosted in the A- or B-site of the LLTO structure. In this work, we investigate the crystal structure and the long-range charge migration processes characterizing a family of perovskites with the general formula La1/2+1/2x Li1/2-1/2x Ti1-x Al x O3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6), in which the charge balance and the nominal A-site vacancies (n A = 0) are preserved. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) investigations reveal the presence of a very complex nanostructure constituted by a mixture of two different ordered nanoregions of tetragonal P4/mmm and rhombohedral R3̅c symmetries. Broadband electrical spectroscopy studies confirm the presence of different crystalline domains and demonstrate that the structural fluctuations of the BO6 octahedra require to be intra- and intercell coupled, to enable the long-range diffusion of the lithium cation, in a similar way to the segmental mode that takes place in polymer-ion conductors. These hypotheses are corroborated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and molecular dynamic simulations.

Unravelling the crystal structure of Nd5.8WO12-δ and Nd5.7W0.75Mo0.25O12-δ mixed ionic electronic conductors.

Project description:Mixed ionic electronic conducting ceramics Nd6-y WO12-δ (δ is the oxygen deficiency) provide excellent stability in harsh environments containing strongly reactive gases such as CO2, CO, H2, H2O or H2S. Due to this chemical stability, they are promising and cost-efficient candidate materials for gas separation, catalytic membrane reactors and protonic ceramic fuel cell technologies. As in La6-y WO12-δ, the ionic/electronic transport mechanism in Nd6-y WO12-δ is expected to be largely controlled by the crystal structure, the conclusive determination of which is still lacking. This work presents a crystallographic study of Nd5.8WO12-δ and molybdenum-substituted Nd5.7W0.75Mo0.25O12-δ prepared by the citrate complexation route. High-resolution synchrotron and neutron powder diffraction data were used in combined Rietveld refinements to unravel the crystal structure of Nd5.8WO12-δ and Nd5.7W0.75Mo0.25O12-δ. Both investigated samples crystallize in a defect fluorite crystal structure with space group Fm 3 m and doubled unit-cell parameter due to cation ordering. Mo replaces W at both Wyckoff sites 4a and 48h and is evenly distributed, in contrast with La6-y WO12-δ. X-ray absorption spectroscopy as a function of partial pressure pO2 in the near-edge regions excludes oxidation state changes of Nd (Nd3+) and W (W6+) in reducing conditions: the enhanced hydrogen permeation, i.e. ambipolar conduction, observed in Mo-substituted Nd6-y WO12-δ is therefore explained by the higher Mo reducibility and the creation of additional - disordered - oxygen vacancies.
