Formation of Complex Ions03:45

Formation of Complex Ions

23.0K
A type of Lewis acid-base chemistry involves the formation of a complex ion (or a coordination complex) comprising a central atom, typically a transition metal cation, surrounded by ions or molecules called ligands. These ligands can be neutral molecules like H2O or NH3, or ions such as CN− or OH−. Often, the ligands act as Lewis bases, donating a pair of electrons to the central atom. These types of Lewis acid-base reactions are examples of a broad subdiscipline called coordination...

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...

Electrodeposition

454
Electrodeposition is a technique used to separate an analyte from interferents by electrochemical processes. Here, the analyte is a metal ion that can be deposited on an electrode immersed in the sample solution. The electrochemical setup consists of an anode and a cathode. When an electric current is applied to the setup, oxidation occurs at the anode. At the cathode, which consists of a large metal surface, metal ions undergo reduction and deposit onto the surface.

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.

Ionic Strength: Effects on Chemical Equilibria

1.3K
The addition of an inert ionic compound increases the solubility of a sparingly soluble salt. For example, adding potassium nitrate to a saturated solution of calcium sulfate significantly enhances the solubility of calcium sulfate. Le Châtelier's principle cannot predict this shift in the equilibrium. Instead, this could be explained in terms of changes in the effective concentration of the ions in solution in the presence of added inert salt.
In this solution, the primary...

Spontaneous Chemical Reactions
Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...

  • Electrochemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • High-energy-density lithium metal batteries (LMBs) require stable solid electrolyte interphases (SEIs) for longevity.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic introduction of single fluorine sources into a fluoride-free electrolyte.
  • Analysis of SEI composition and properties based on LiF origin.
  • Evaluation of SEI performance during deep cycling of lithium metal anodes.

Main Results:

  • SEI performance is influenced by both LiF content and coexisting organic components.
  • Solvent-derived LiF-rich SEIs demonstrate superior LMA protection during deep cycling.
  • These SEIs maintain structural integrity, suppress dead lithium formation, and enhance Coulombic efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • LiF's protective mechanism is re-examined, highlighting the importance of its source.
  • Understanding SEI chemistry based on LiF origin is critical for developing high-performance LMBs.
