Ionic Crystal Structures

14.4K
Ionic crystals consist of two or more different kinds of ions that usually have different sizes. The packing of these ions into a crystal structure is more complex than the packing of metal atoms that are the same size.
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Preparation and Reactions of Sulfides02:26

Preparation and Reactions of Sulfides

4.9K
Sulfides are the sulfur analog of ethers, just as thiols are the sulfur analog of alcohol. Like ethers, sulfides also consist of two hydrocarbon groups bonded to the central sulfur atom. Depending upon the type of groups present, sulfides can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Symmetrical sulfides can be prepared via an SN2 reaction between 2 equivalents of an alkyl halide and one equivalent of sodium sulfide.

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer02:48

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer

41.7K
Ions are atoms or molecules bearing an electrical charge. A cation (a positive ion) forms when a neutral atom loses one or more electrons from its valence shell, and an anion (a negative ion) forms when a neutral atom gains one or more electrons in its valence shell. Compounds composed of ions are called ionic compounds (or salts), and their constituent ions are held together by ionic bonds: electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions.

Electrolysis

26.6K
In a galvanic cell, the electrical work is done by a redox system on its surroundings as electrons produced by the spontaneous redox reactions are transferred through an external circuit. Alternatively, an external circuit does work on a redox system by imposing a voltage sufficient to drive an otherwise nonspontaneous reaction in a process known as electrolysis. For instance, recharging a battery involves the use of an external power source to drive the spontaneous (discharge) cell reaction in...

Electrolyte and Nonelectrolyte Solutions02:21

Electrolyte and Nonelectrolyte Solutions

63.2K
Substances that undergo either a physical or a chemical change in solution to yield ions that can conduct electricity are called electrolytes. If a substance yields ions in solution, that is, if the compound undergoes 100% dissociation, then the substance is a strong electrolyte. Complete dissociation is indicated by a single forward arrow. For example, water-soluble ionic compounds like sodium chloride dissociate into sodium cations and chloride anions in aqueous solution.

Background:

  • Sulfide glasses show ionic conductivity upon crystallization.
  • Lithium phosphate sulfide (Li3PS4) is a known sulfide glass.

  • Ionic conductivity measurements.

Main Results:

  • Bromine incorporation into Li3PS4 glass leads to a crystal structure distinct from the parent PS4 anion framework.
  • The resulting glass-ceramic exhibits ionic conductivity comparable to Li10GeP2S12.
  • Bond valence sum analysis confirms that Br promotes the formation of Li ionic conduction pathways.
  • A structural transition to the beta-phase results in decreased ionic conductivity.

Conclusions:

  • Halogen incorporation, specifically bromine, into sulfide glasses can create favorable Li-ion conduction pathways.
  • Precise control over anion molecular structure via halogen doping is a promising strategy for developing high ionic conductivity materials.
  • This approach holds potential for advancing solid-state electrolytes in next-generation batteries.
