Ionic Crystal Structures02:42

Ionic Crystal Structures

14.0K
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...

Molecular and Ionic Solids02:54

Molecular and Ionic Solids

16.6K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Electrolysis

25.8K
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...

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer02:48

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer

39.8K
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.

Trends in Lattice Energy: Ion Size and Charge02:54

Trends in Lattice Energy: Ion Size and Charge

23.5K
An ionic compound is stable because of the electrostatic attraction between its positive and negative ions. The lattice energy of a compound is a measure of the strength of this attraction. The lattice energy (ΔHlattice) of an ionic compound is defined as the energy required to separate one mole of the solid into its component gaseous ions. For the ionic solid sodium chloride, the lattice energy is the enthalpy change of the process:

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid-State Chemistry
  • Electrochemistry

Background:

  • Antiperovskite-derived materials are explored for enhanced ionic conductivity.
  • Developing solid electrolytes with improved lithium-ion dynamics is crucial for advanced battery technologies.
  • Synthesis of amorphous Li₂OHX materials presents significant challenges due to their inherent instability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize Li₂OHX (X = Br, Cl)-based glasses.
  • To investigate the lithium-ion dynamics in these novel glass materials.
  • To assess the stability and potential applications of Li₂OHX glasses.

Main Methods:

  • Twin-roll quenching technique for rapid cooling to achieve glassy states.
  • Spin-lattice relaxation nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to probe lithium-ion mobility.
  • Density measurements to quantify changes in free volume between glass and crystalline phases.

Main Results:

  • Successful synthesis of Li₂OHX glasses was achieved, though challenging, requiring high cooling rates.
  • NMR spectroscopy indicated enhanced lithium-ion hopping frequency and a lower activation energy (0.29 eV) in Li₂OHBr glass compared to its crystalline counterpart (0.39 eV).
  • Increased free volume in the glass samples (ρ_glass/ρ_cryst = 0.83) and reduced ionic interactions were proposed as reasons for improved dynamics.

Conclusions:

  • Li₂OHX glasses exhibit promising characteristics for enhanced lithium-ion transport.
  • The observed improvements in ionic dynamics are linked to structural differences between the glassy and crystalline states.
  • Instability under pressure and crystallization issues currently limit the practical application of these glasses for bulk measurements.
