Volatility of molten salts [Ph4P][NTf2] and Cs[NTf2]

ABSTRACT: Abstract The two ionic compounds [Ph4P][NTf2] and Cs[NTf2] were qualified to be suitable liquid materials for different high temperature applications. Development and optimization of these application techniques require knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of vaporization. Vapor pressures and vaporization enthalpies have been measured by using quartz?crystal microbalance. Solubility parameters and miscibility of ionic liquids in practically relevant solvents were assessed. The volatility of ionic liquids is not negligible at elevated temperatures. It is related to vapor pressures. We report the precise absolute vapor pressures and enthalpies of vaporization, of [Ph4P][NTf2] and Cs[NTf2], which were measured using the quartz?crystal microbalance (QCM) method. Volatilities of both compounds is significantly lower compared to commonly used [Cnmim][NTf2] These values are useful for catalytic applications of ionic liquid as well as for qualitative assessment solubilities of ionic compounds in common ionic liquids of practical importance.

Effect of inorganic salts on the volatility of organic acids.

Project description:Particulate phase reactions between organic and inorganic compounds may significantly alter aerosol chemical properties, for example, by suppressing particle volatility. Here, chemical processing upon drying of aerosols comprised of organic (acetic, oxalic, succinic, or citric) acid/monovalent inorganic salt mixtures was assessed by measuring the evaporation of the organic acid molecules from the mixture using a novel approach combining a chemical ionization mass spectrometer coupled with a heated flow tube inlet (TPD-CIMS) with kinetic model calculations. For reference, the volatility, i.e. saturation vapor pressure and vaporization enthalpy, of the pure succinic and oxalic acids was also determined and found to be in agreement with previous literature. Comparison between the kinetic model and experimental data suggests significant particle phase processing forming low-volatility material such as organic salts. The results were similar for both ammonium sulfate and sodium chloride mixtures, and relatively more processing was observed with low initial aerosol organic molar fractions. The magnitude of low-volatility organic material formation at an atmospherically relevant pH range indicates that the observed phenomenon is not only significant in laboratory conditions but is also of direct atmospheric relevance.

Tracing mechanistic pathways and reaction kinetics toward equilibrium in reactive molten salts.

Project description:In the dynamic environment of multi-component reactive molten salts, speciation unfolds as a complex process, involving multiple competing reaction pathways that are likely to face free energy barriers before reaching the reaction equilibria. Herein, we unravel intricate speciation in the AlCl3-KCl melt compositions with rate theory and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the compositions with 100 and 50 mol% AlCl3 exclusively comprise neutral Al2Cl6 dimers and charged AlCl4- monomers, respectively. In intermediate AlCl3-KCl compositions, the chemical speciation proves to be a very complex process, requiring over 0.5 nanosecond to reach an equilibrium distribution of multiple species. It is a consequence of the competitive formation and dissociation of additional species, including charged Al dimers, trimers, and tetramers. Here, the species formation occurs through ion exchange events, which we explain by computing free energy landscapes and employing a Marcus-like rate theory. We show that both interspecies and intraspecies ion exchanges are probable and are dictated by the local structural reorganization reflected in the change of local coulombic fields. The species distributions are validated by comparing computed Raman spectra and neutron structure factors with the available experimental data. We find an excellent simulation-experiment agreement in both cases. Nevertheless, Raman spectroscopy turns out to be particularly advantageous for distinguishing between unique species distributions because of the distinct vibrational signatures of different species. The mechanistic insight into reaction dynamics gained in this study will be essential for the advancement of molten salts as reactive media in high-temperature energy applications.

High-efficiency solar thermoelectric conversion enabled by movable charging of molten salts.

Project description:Solar energy as an abundant renewable resource has been investigated for many years. Solar thermoelectric conversion technology, which converts solar energy into thermal energy and then into electricity, has been developed and implemented in many important fields. The operation of solar-thermal-electric conversion systems, however, is strongly affected by the intermittency of solar radiation, which requires installation of thermal storage subsystems. In this work, we demonstrated a new solar-thermal-electric conversion system that consists of a thermoelectric converter and a rapidly charging thermal storage subsystem. A magnetic-responsive solar-thermal mesh was used as the movable charging source to convert incident concentrated sunlight into high-temperature heat, which can induce solid-to-liquid phase transition of molten salts. Driven by the external magnetic field, the solar-thermal mesh can move together with the receding solid-liquid interface thus rapidly storing the harvested solar-thermal energy within the molten salts. By connecting with a thermoelectric generator, the harvested solar-thermal energy can be further converted into electricity with a solar-thermal-electric energy conversion efficiency up to 2.56%, and the converted electrical energy can simultaneously light up more than 40 orange-colored LEDs. In addition to stable operation under sunlight, the charged thermal storage subsystem can release the stored heat and thus enables the solar-thermal-electric system to continuously generate electricity after removal of solar illumination.

Structural Characterisation and Chemical Stability of Commercial Fibrous Carbons in Molten Lithium Salts.

Project description:The growing trend towards sustainable energy production, while intermittent, can meet all the criteria of energy demand through the use and development of high-performance thermal energy storage (TES). In this context, high-temperature hybrid TES systems, based upon the combination of fibrous carbon hosts and peritectic phase change materials (PCMs), are seen as promising solutions. One of the main conditions for the operational viability of hybrid TES is the chemical inertness between the components of the system. Thus, the chemical stability and compatibility of several commercial carbon felts (CFs) and molten lithium salts are discussed in the present study. Commercial CFs were characterised by elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy before being tested in molten lithium salts: LiOH, LiBr, and the LiOH/LiBr peritectic mixture defined as our PCM of interest. The chemical stability was evaluated by gravimetry, gas adsorption and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Among the studied CFs, the materials with the highest carbon purity and the most graphitic structure showed improved stability in contact with molten lithium salts, even under the most severe test conditions (750 °C). The application of the Arrhenius law allowed calculating the activation energy (in the range of 116 to 165 kJ mol-1), and estimating the potential stability of CFs at actual application temperatures. These results confirmed the applicability of CFs as porous hosts for stabilising peritectic PCMs based on molten lithium salts.

Melting Temperature Depression and Phase Transitions of Nitrate-Based Molten Salts in Nanoconfinement.

Project description:Hybrids of nitrate-based molten salts (KNO3, NaNO3, and Solar Salt) and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) with various pore sizes (between 25 and 380 nm) were designed for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants to achieve low melting point (<200 °C) and high thermal conductivity (>1 W m-1 K-1). AAO pore surfaces were passivated with octadecyl phosphonic acid (ODPA), and the results were compared with as-anodized AAO. The change in phase transition temperatures and melting temperatures of salts was investigated as a function of pore diameter. Melting temperatures decreased for all salts inside AAO with different pore sizes while the highest melting temperature decrease (ΔT = 173 ± 2 °C) was observed for KNO3 filled in AAO with a pore diameter of 380 nm. Another nanoconfinement effect was observed in the crystal phases of the salts. The ferroelectric phase of KNO3 (γ-phase) formed at room temperature for KNO3/AAO hybrids with pore size larger than 35 nm. Thermal conductivity values of molten salt (MS)/AAO hybrids were obtained by thermal property analysis (TPS) at room temperature and above melting temperatures of the salts. The highest increase in thermal conductivity was observed as 73% for KNO3/AAO-35 nm. For NaNO3/AAO-380 nm hybrids, the thermal conductivity coefficient was 1.224 ± 0.019 at room temperature. To determine the capacity and efficiency of MS/AAO hybrids during the heat transfer process, the energy storage density per unit volume (J m-3) was calculated. The highest energy storage capacity was calculated as 2390 MJ m-3 for KNO3/AAO with a pore diameter of 400 nm. This value is approximately five times higher than that of bulk salt.

Project description:Data presented in this article are related with the research paper entitled "Ecotoxicity assessment of dicationic versus monocationic ionic liquids as a more environmentally friendly alternative" [1]. The present article describes the synthesis steps and characterization data of a set of twenty-six imidazolium, pyrrolidinium and pyridinium-based ionic liquids (ILs) or molten salts: nine monocationic and seventeen dicationic. Specifically, the chemical structure of the compounds was confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 19F NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS). Other data such as physical state at room temperature, melting point temperature (for solids at room temperature) and thermal decomposition temperature (when melting was not reached before decomposition) of the ILs or molten salts are also reported here.

Local Ordering of Molten Salts at NiO Crystal Interfaces Promotes High-Index Faceting.

Project description:Given the strong influence of surface structure on the reactivity of heterogeneous catalysts, understanding the mechanisms that control crystal morphology is an important component of designing catalytic materials with targeted shape and functionality. Herein, we employ density functional theory to examine the impact of growth media on NiO crystal faceting in line with experimental findings, showing that molten-salt synthesis in alkali chlorides (KCl, LiCl, and NaCl) imposes shape selectivity on NiO particles. We find that the production of NiO octahedra is attributed to the dissociative adsorption of H2 O, whereas the formation of trapezohedral particles is associated with the control of the growth kinetics exerted by ordered salt structures on high-index facets. To our knowledge, this is the first observation that growth inhibition of metal-oxide facets occurs by a localized ordering of molten salts at the crystal-solvent interface. These findings provide new molecular-level insight on kinetics and thermodynamics of molten-salt synthesis as a predictive route to shape-engineer metal-oxide crystals.

Rapid mass production of two-dimensional metal oxides and hydroxides via the molten salts method.

Project description:Because of their exotic electronic properties and abundant active sites, two-dimensional (2D) materials have potential in various fields. Pursuing a general synthesis methodology of 2D materials and advancing it from the laboratory to industry is of great importance. This type of method should be low cost, rapid and highly efficient. Here, we report the high-yield synthesis of 2D metal oxides and hydroxides via a molten salts method. We obtained a high-yield of 2D ion-intercalated metal oxides and hydroxides, such as cation-intercalated manganese oxides (Na0.55Mn2O4·1.5H2O and K0.27MnO2·0.54H2O), cation-intercalated tungsten oxides (Li2WO4 and Na2W4O13), and anion-intercalated metal hydroxides (Zn5(OH)8(NO3)2·2H2O and Cu2(OH)3NO3), with a large lateral size and nanometre thickness in a short time. Using 2D Na2W4O13 as an electrode, a high performance electrochemical supercapacitor is achieved. We anticipate that our method will enable new path to the high-yield synthesis of 2D materials for applications in energy-related fields and beyond.

Physical characteristics of capacitive carbons derived from the electrolytic reduction of alkali metal carbonate molten salts.

Project description:Carbons have been synthesized through the reduction of molten carbonate systems under varied conditions. The mechanism and kinetics of carbon electrodeposition has been investigated. Carbon morphologies include amorphous, graphite-like, and spherical aggregate phases. Increased graphitic character is observed in carbons electrodeposited at more cathodic potentials, particularly at higher temperatures. Bonding has been investigated and oxygen functionalised sp2 and sp3 structures have been identified. The level of functionalization decreases in carbons with reduced amorphous and increased graphitic character. Thermal decomposition of electrodepositied carbons has been investigated and zero order kinetics have been identified. A relationship has been identified between elevated oxygen functionalization and increased pseudo-capacitance, with carbons deposited at 0.15 A cm-2 showing capacitances of 400 F g-1 in 0.5 M H2SO4 at sweep rates of 10 mV s-1.
