Electrogravimetric Analysis: Overview

333
Electrogravimetric analysis measures the weight of an analyte deposited electrolytically onto a suitable working electrode. This method involves applying a potential to a pre-weighed electrode submerged in a solution, which results in the desired substance being deposited through reduction at the cathode or oxidation at the anode. The electrode's weight is recorded after deposition, and the difference in weight gives the analyte's weight in the solution.
To test the completeness of the...

Electrodeposition

709
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.
Electrodeposition can...

Voltammetry: Factors Affecting Measurements

207
A current produced due to the redox reactions of the analyte at the working and auxiliary electrodes is called a faradaic current. The reaction can be divided into two types. The current generated due to the reduction of the analyte is called cathodic current, and it carries a positive charge. In contrast, the current produced by analyte oxidation is known as an anodic current, and it has a negative charge. The applied potential at the working electrode determines the faradaic current flow, and...

Batteries and Fuel Cells

28.0K
A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer02:48

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer

42.2K
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 Charge

24.2K
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
  • Electrochemistry
  • Solid-state Chemistry

Background:

  • Niobium oxides with Wadsley-Roth shear structures are promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
  • Understanding the role of initial electronic conductivity is key to optimizing electrode design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the electrochemical performance of an insulating (Ti2Nb10O29) and a metallic (Nb12O29) niobium oxide.
  • To determine the influence of initial metallic conduction on anode material performance.
  • To elucidate factors governing rate capability and cycling stability.

Main Methods:

  • X-ray diffraction
  • Electrochemical measurements (e.g., cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic cycling)
  • Magnetic susceptibility measurements
  • Entropic potential measurements

Main Results:

  • Initial metallic conduction of the anode material is not a prerequisite for high performance.
  • Rate performance is primarily governed by lithium-ion mobility.
  • Atomic Ti/Nb disorder in Ti2Nb10O29 enhances capacity retention at high rates by hindering Li-ion ordering.
  • Nb12O29 exhibits slightly superior long-term cycling stability at slower rates due to redox process characteristics.

Conclusions:

  • The transition to a metallic state upon lithiation is more important than the initial conductivity.
  • Ion mobility and structural disorder are critical parameters for high-rate lithium-ion battery anodes.
  • Nb12O29 and Ti2Nb10O29 offer distinct advantages for different cycling regimes.
