Thermodynamic assessment of lithium halide reciprocal salt systems for energy applications

Lithium halides are of interest because of their unique applications as fuel or coolants in molten salt reactors (MSRs) and electrolytes in thermally activated batteries. Because iodine is an important fission product for MSRs, the Molten Salt Thermal Properties Database-Thermochemical (MSTDB-TC) is being expanded to include relevant iodide reciprocal salt systems. In this work, we assess the thermochemical properties of lithium halide pseudobinary systems based on reported experimental phase diagrams, eutectic temperatures, and enthalpies of mixing. Within the framework of the modified quasi-chemical model in the quadruplet approximation (MQMQA), extrapolations to the related pseudoternary and pseudoquaternary systems have been performed. The pseudoquaternary representations of phase equilibria, enthalpy, entropy, and heat capacity are represented in the resultant models. Of interest for generating source terms for accident analysis is the ability to compute the vapor pressures of the dominant iodide species for the systems at any composition. Here, an example of such calculations is provided for the LiF-LiI system at x LiI = 0.01 and x LiI = 0.70, in this case indicating that the LiI vapor species are predominant.

Thermophysical properties of FLiBe using moment tensor potentials

Fluoride salts are prospective materials for applications in some next-generation nuclear reactors and their thermophysical properties at various conditions are of interest. Experimental measurement of the properties of these salts is often difficult and, in some cases, unfeasible due to challenges from high temperatures, impurity control, and corrosivity. Therefore, accurate theoretical methods are needed for fluoride salt property prediction. In this work, we used moment tensor potentials (MTP) to approximate the potential energy surface of eutectic FLiBe (66.6% LiF – 33.3% BeF2) predicted by the ab initio (DFT-D3) method. Here, we then used the developed potential and molecular dynamics to obtain several thermophysical properties of FLiBe, including radial distribution functions, density, self-diffusion coefficients, thermal expansion, specific heat capacity, bulk modulus, viscosity, and thermal conductivity. Our results show that the MTP potential approximates the potential energy surface accurately and the overall approach yields very good agreement with experimental values. The converged fitting can be obtained with less than 600 configurations generated from DFT calculations, which data can be generated in just 1200 core hours on today's typical processors. The MTP potential is faster than many machine learning potentials and about one order of magnitude slower than widely used empirical molten salt potentials such as Tosi/Fumi.

Predicting thermophysical properties of molten salts in the MgCl 2 -NaCl-KCl-LiCl system with a shell-model potential

Ternary eutectic salts composed of MgCl 2 , NaCl, and KCl, referred to as MNK salts, have recently emerged as promising candidates as high-temperature heat transfer fluids and thermal energy storage media. Here we performed classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to predict the densities, specific heat capacities, viscosities, and ionic self-diffusivities for MNK salts over a wide temperature range. The impact of LiCl additive on their thermophysical properties was also investigated. To capture the electronic polarization of Cl anions by neighboring cations, we developed a novel shell-model potential using the force-matching method and a dataset of ab initio calculated interatomic forces. Our extensive MD simulations predict structure and properties for pure salts and binary/ternary salt mixtures in the MgCl 2 -NaCl-KCl-LiCl system in overall good agreement with available experimental and theoretical data, which corroborates the accuracy and reliability of our developed potential.

Density functional thermodynamic description of spin, phonon and displacement degrees of freedom in antiferromagnetic-to-paramagnetic phase transition in YNiO 3

This work herein demonstrates a direct density functional description of the finite-temperature thermodynamic properties of solids exhibiting phase transitions through positional and spin symmetry breaking degrees of freedom. A classic example addressed here is the rare-earth (R) nickelates RNiO 3 where the ground state is characterized by crystallographic and magnetic (e.g., antiferromagnetic) long-range order (LRO), whereas the higher temperature paramagnetic phase manifests a range of local spin and positional symmetry breaking motifs with short-range order (SRO). Unlike time-dependent simulations of spin and positional degrees of freedom, in the present work, phases are described via a superposition of static configurations constructed by populating a periodic base lattice supercell allowing for the formation of energy lowing distribution of positional and spin local motifs. The thermal populations of the configurations in such a superposition phase are obtained from the energy-minimized Density Functional Theory (DFT)-calculated partition functions at different temperatures. This approach offers flexible inclusion of different physical contributions to the free energy, such as elastic, electronic and phonon free energies, all obtained from the same underlying DFT total energy calculations of periodic structures. The thermodynamic and magnetic properties of both LRO and SRO crystallographic and spin phases, including antiferromagnetic (AFM) to paramagnetic (PM) Néel phase transition in YNiO3 are studied. Including spin and phonon contributions, we find a DFT-calculated Néel temperature to be 144 K in satisfactory agreement with the experimental value of 145 K; whereas omitting the phonon contribution, one obtains a Néel temperature of 81 K. We present phonon contributions to the DFT-calculated temperature-dependent SRO, heat capacities, and the polymorphous distribution of nonzero local magnetic moments in the PM phase. This approach thus extends to finite temperatures the symmetry-broken DFT description of both the AFM and PM phases, demonstrating that a thermodynamic superposition approach based on symmetry broken configurations evaluated by a mean-field like DFT is sufficient to obtain a consistent description of the thermal physics of the AFM, PM phases and their interconversion in 3d oxides illustrated by YNiO 3 .

Material properties of aqueous potassium acetate solutions for use in liquid desiccant air conditioning

We present thermophysical properties of aqueous potassium acetate solutions relevant to their application as a liquid desiccant in air-conditioning systems. Liquid desiccant air conditioners could provide up to 80% energy savings compared to high-efficiency vapor compression air conditioners. However, the commonly used liquid desiccants, particularly chloride salt solutions, are highly corrosive. This precludes the use of metallic components, necessitating specialized plastics and thereby driving up cost, weight, and limiting operational temperature and pressure ranges. Potassium acetate has been identified as a less corrosive alternative, potentially enabling broader material compatibility in LDAC components. In this study we systematically measured and modelled key thermophysical properties of KAc solutions density, vapor pressure, viscosity, specific heat capacity, phase behavior, and diffusion coefficient across a range of concentrations (10 - 70wt%) and temperatures. For instance, KAc exhibits a vapor pressure of 3.1 kPa at 50wt% and 40degrees C, demonstrating dehumidification capability comparable to chloride salts. By providing an extended dataset and associated models, this work advances the understanding needed to design energy-efficient, corrosion mitigating LDAC system.

Predicting cell-to-cell failure propagation and limits of propagation in lithium-ion cell stacks

Thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries is a risk that is magnified when stacks of lithium-ion cells are used for large scale energy storage. When limits of propagation can be identified so that systems can be designed to prevent large scale cascading failure even if a failure does occur, these systems will be safer. This work addresses the prediction of cell-to-cell failure propagation and the propagation limits in lithium-ion cell stacks to better understand and identify safe designs. A thermal-runaway model is presented based on recent developments in thermochemical source terms. It is noted that propagating failure is characterized by temperatures above which calorimetry data is available. Results show high temperature propagating failure predictions are too rapid unless an intra-particle diffusion limit is included, introducing a Damköhler number limiter into the rate expression. This new model form is evaluated against cell-to-cell failure propagation where the end cell of a stack is forced into thermal runaway through a nail-induced short circuit. Limits of propagation for this configuration are identified. Results show cell-to-cell propagation predictions are consistent with measurements over a range of cell states of charge and with the introduction of metal plates between cells to add system heat capacity representative of structural members. This consistency extends from scenarios where propagation occurs through scenarios where propagation is prevented.

Effect of hydrogen isotope on plasma impedance and thermal pinching induced by single aerosol droplets injected into an inductively coupled plasma

The mass of the hydrogen isotope in micrometer-sized aqueous droplets introduced into an ICP has been found to affect the degree of resulting plasma perturbation. Studied plasma perturbations include local plasma cooling, plasma shrinkage due to thermal pinching, and changes in plasma impedance. The local cooling effect caused by a vaporizing aerosol droplet was found to be similar between H 2 O and D 2 O. This finding is likely a result of the similar heat capacities and vaporization rates of H 2 O and D 2 O droplets and of the comparable thermal conductivities and dissociation kinetics of H 2 O and D 2 O vapor. In contrast, a clear isotope effect was observed for plasma shrinkage and impedance change, with H 2 O causing a considerably stronger effect. Plasma shrinkage, gauged by the reduction in Ar emission at the edge of the plasma, was detected at all observation heights within the load-coil region, with D 2 O droplets causing as much as 30% less of an effect than H 2 O. Likewise, D 2 O droplets induce significantly less change in plasma impedance than H 2 O droplets. Depending on experimental conditions and the probing method, changes in plasma impedance caused by monodisperse D 2 O droplets were only 52%–80% that of H 2 O. The lower influence on plasma shrinkage and impedance change for D 2 O droplets is believed to be related to the much lower thermal conductivity of atomic deuterium, around 70% that of atomic hydrogen (protium). The time required for the plasma impedance to return to its original steady-state value was comparatively long (~10 ms) and similar for H 2 O and D 2 O droplets.

Structure-thermal property relationships of aikinite PbCuBiS 3

Understanding the structural properties and chemical bonding in complex multinary chalcogenides is highly valuable, as it provides vital information for controlling their physical properties to suit various technological applications. Here, we report on the structural, thermal, and electronic properties of PbCuBiS 3 by incorporating an experimental and theoretical investigation of this material. Analysis of the experimental temperature-dependent heat capacity and thermal conductivity data show that weak bonding and strong lattice anharmonicity give rise to ultralow thermal conductivity. Chemical bonding information obtained from the density functional theory electronic calculations reveal significant antibonding interactions that underscore the dominant role of the Cu-S tetrahedra on occupied antibonding states, as well as a highly distorted Pb/Bi-S environment inducing weak bonding and strong lattice anharmonicity. This study broadens our understanding of the structure-property relationships for this material, and can be useful for developing this and similar chalcogenide materials for potential applications of interest.

Structural and thermal properties and the origin of the ultralow thermal conductivity in the defect stannite CuIn 2 Se 4

Phase-pure CuIn 2 Se 4 , a ternary metal chalcogenide that forms in a disordered stannite crystal structure, was synthesized to investigate the structure thermal property relationships as well as reveal the origin of the ultralow thermal conductivity this material possesses over a large temperature range. Modeling of the temperature-dependent heat capacity and thermal conductivity revealed distinctive thermal properties and large lattice anharmonicity. Electron localization function calculations highlight the asymmetric bonding inherent to CuIn 2 Se 4 , which together with lattice anharmonicity directly impacts the thermal properties. Our findings reveal the specific atomic arrangement and bonding governing the thermal properties of this ternary metal chalcogenide. Our findings underscore the specific atomic arrangement and bonding governing the thermal properties in this ternary chalcogenide. This study advances the fundamental understanding of stannites, and our findings can be applied to these and other multinary metal chalcogenides of interest for applications where low thermal conductivity is desirable.

Characterization of solid particle candidates for application in thermal energy storage and concentrating solar power systems

Thermal energy storage (TES) enables concentrating solar power to remain competitive in the renewable energy mix by firming up intermittent solar resource and providing grid services such as load shifting. Free from siting constraints, stand-alone TES systems show promise as a low-cost alternative to traditional pumped-storage hydropower or compressed air energy storage. At the core of all TES technologies is a storage medium, the selection of which governs many aspects of system design and operation. Although the majority of commercial installations utilize molten salts, solid particles can demonstrate stability over wider temperature ranges. This amounts to increased energy storage densities and corresponding reductions in system cost which is essential in achieving low-cost energy storage. In this work, eight solid particle candidates are systematically identified and screened for application in a specific particle-TES system. The five most promising candidates (CARBO CP and HSP, calcined flint clay (CFC), brown fused alumina (BFA), and silica sand) are further characterized by size and morphology for fluidization suitability, flowability for particle transport, and thermal stability. Calcined flint clay and brown fused alumina are eventually down-selected due to thermal instability at the target operational temperature of 1200 °C. Although the physical characteristics of CARBO outperform silica sand in all categories examined, the marginal performance gains are considered insufficient to justify the additional media cost so silica sand is selected as the leading candidate. Within the silica sand (α-quartz) space, the high end of Geldart Group B particles is identified to satisfy the target fluidization regime for the application of interest without compromising particle flowability. Here, in focused testing, Silica 460 is shown to exhibit sufficient stability through long-duration (500-hour) thermal and cyclic testing (1200 °C), 10-hour testing at 1400 °C, and in contact with candidate refractory containment materials. Finally, an average heat capacity of 1.1 J/g∙ °C is measured over 300-1200 °C with a quartz inversion enthalpy (ΔH α-β ) of 10.7J/g.

Unexpected Hydride: Ce 4 B 2 C 2 H 2.42 , a Stuffed Variant of the Nd 2 BC Structure Type

Ce 4 B 2 C 2 H 2.42 was grown as large crystals from a cerium/copper eutectic flux. The structure was characterized by single-crystal X-ray and neutron diffraction and was found to be a stuffed variant of Nd 2 BC with the addition of two interstitial hydrogen positions. The tetrahedral hydrogen position is fully occupied, while the octahedral position has an occupancy of 42(3)%. Initial synthesis was due to hydrogen contamination of the cerium metal but has been successfully repeated using anthracene as a carbon and hydrogen source. Density of states calculations suggest that the incorporation of hydrogen stabilizes the compound with respect to the nonhydrided model. Magnetic susceptibility data show a complex magnetic ordering at 7.7 K that originates from the localized electron on the Ce 3+ in the structure. The trivalent state is also supported by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. Heat capacity and electrical resistivity data show that the phase transition is broad in temperature, which may be due to structural disorder. Furthermore, the large low temperature value of C/T also indicates possible heavy fermion behavior.

Physical Properties of Candidate X-ray Detector Material Rb 4 Ag 2 BiBr 9

Recently, metal halide perovskites have emerged as promising semiconductor candidates for sensitive X-ray photon detection due to their suitable band gap energies, excellent charge transport properties, and low material cost afforded by their low-temperature solution-processing preparation. Furthermore, we report an improved methodology for single crystal growth and thermal and electrical properties of a two-dimensional (2D) layered halide material Rb 4 Ag 2 BiBr 9 , which has been identified as a potential candidate for X-ray radiation detection applications. The measured heat capacity for Rb 4 Ag 2 BiBr 9 implies that there are no structural phase transitions upon cooling. Temperature dependence of thermal transport measurements further suggests remarkably low thermal conductivities of Rb 4 Ag 2 BiBr 9 that are comparable to the lowest reported in literature. The bulk crystal resistivity is determined to be 2.59 × 10 9 Ω·cm from the current–voltage (I–V) curve. Density of trap states is estimated to be ~10 10 cm –3 using the space-charge-limited-current measurements. The fabricated Rb 4 Ag 2 BiBr 9 -based X-ray detector shows good operational stability with no apparent current drift, which may be ascribed to the 2D crystal structure of Rb 4 Ag 2 BiBr 9 . Finally, by varying the X-ray tube current to change the corresponding dose rate, the Rb4Ag2BiBr9 X-ray detector sensitivity is determined to be 222.03 μC Gy –1 cm –2 (at an electric field of E = 24 V/mm).

Superconductivity on a Bi Square Net in LiBi

We present the crystallographic analysis, superconducting characterization and theoretical modeling of LiBi, that contains the lightest and the heaviest nonradioactive metal. The compound crystallizes in a tetragonal (CuAu-type) crystal structure with Bi square nets separated by Li planes (parameters a = 3.3636(1) Å and c = 4.2459(2) Å, c/a = 1.26). Superconducting state was studied in detail by magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity measurements. The results reveal that LiBi is a moderately coupled type-I superconductor (λ e-p = 0.66) with T c = 2.48 K and a thermodynamic critical field H c (0) = 157 Oe. Theoretical studies show that bismuth square net is responsible for superconductivity in this compound, but the coupling between the Li planes and Bi planes makes a significant contribution to the superconductivity.

Clathrate BaNi 2 P 4 : An Interplay of Heat and Charge Transport Due to Strong Host–Guest Interactions

Heat and charge transport properties of the metallic unconventional clathrate BaNi 2 P 4 , hosting Ba cations in oversized Ni 8 P 16 cages, are investigated. A novel method of single-crystal growth was developed, yielding 2–3 mm sized crystals of BaNi 2 P 4 . We also developed a setup to accurately measure thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of the synthesized single crystals in a wide temperature range avoiding crystal remounting. BaNi 2 P 4 has a metallic temperature dependence of its electrical resistivity (decreasing with decreasing temperature) and manifests an unconventional T 2 power law for 50 K < T < 300 K; below 50 K, the power-law exponent increases gradually such that below 10 K the power law is T 5 , a predicted but extremely rarely experimentally observed dependence for peculiar electron–phonon interactions. Furthermore, electronic band structure calculations, consistent with measurements of de Haas–van Alphen oscillations, show large band dispersions with significant contributions of Ba orbitals to states near the Fermi level, which is atypical for clathrates. The thermal properties of BaNi 2 P 4 were probed using a combination of variable-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments, heat capacity measurements, first-principles phonon dispersion calculations, and inelastic neutron scattering measurements. BaNi 2 P 4 exhibits significant hybridization of the Ba-guest and Ni–P-framework vibrational modes, which may be enhanced via the detected split of the Ba position, which results in strong Ba-framework interactions.

Antiferromagnetic Order and Linear Magnetoresistance in Fe-Substituted Shandite Co 3 In 2 S 2

Co 3 In 2 S 2 is a shandite phase closely related to the ferromagnetic Weyl semimetal Co 3 Sn 2 S 2 and contains Co atoms on an ideal kagome net. Elemental substitutions in Co 3 Sn 2 S 2 have been shown to invariably suppress its magnetism, and it remains a rare example of a shandite phase with magnetic order. Here, we report a new magnetic shandite compound discovered by substituting Fe into Co 3 In 2 S 2 . Single crystals of (Co 1–x Fe x ) 3 In 2 S 2 were grown, and neutron diffraction, ac and dc magnetization, and heat capacity measurements reveal long-range antiferromagnetic order with an interesting noncollinear structure and transition temperatures from 11 to 17 K. Partially substituting Fe for Co was inspired by calculated electronic structures, which suggest that Co 3 In 2 S 2 is near a magnetic instability and shows a peak in the density of states that can be approached by hole doping. While the focus of the present work is primarily on magnetism, there is a nodal ring below the Fermi energy in Co 3 In 2 S 2 that may also provide interest from a topological perspective. Potentially related to this, we find large, linear, nonsaturating magnetoresistance in this compound. Furthermore, this work expands the scope of magnetic topological materials among shandites and motivates similar chemical manipulation studies to reveal hidden magnetic instabilities in this important family and other topological systems.

Chemical Control of Magnetism in the Kagome Metal CoSn 1 – x In x : Magnetic Order from Nonmagnetic Substitutions

As a two-dimensional structural motif, the kagome net produces many interesting magnetic and electronic properties. In particular, this lattice produces flat electronic bands with a large density of states. When the chemical potential is positioned within these flat bands, electronic instabilities can result. For the kagome metal CoSn, this alignment is not realized, the flat bands are completely filled, and the compound is a Pauli paramagnet. For this study, we have grown crystals and powders of CoSn 1 – x In x and shown that replacing Sn with In moves the chemical potential into the flat band region, as expected from simple electron counting. This is supported by band structure calculations, heat capacity measurements, and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The increased density of states results in the emergence of antiferromagnetic order evidenced by magnetic susceptibility, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and neutron diffraction data. The Néel temperature reaches a maximum of 32 K. The emergence of magnetic order when introducing a nonmagnetic element into a nonmagnetic kagome metal is striking. This work provides clear evidence that flat bands arising from electronically frustrated lattices in bulk crystals provide a new and powerful way to realize correlated ground states controlled by crystal chemistry.

ACuZrQ 3 (A = Rb, Cs; Q = S, Se, Te) were synthesized as black platelet crystals. RbCuZrS 3 , RbCuZrSe 3 , and CsCuZrS 3 crystallize in the KCuZrSe 3 structure type with space group Cmcm, and RbCuZrTe 3 and CsCuZrTe 3 crystallize in the lower symmetry space group Pnma. The tellurides exhibit a second order Jahn-Teller distortion with off-centering of Zr in its octahedral environment. The magnitude of the distortion is larger in RbCuZrTe 3 than in CsCuZrTe 3 . The structures of beta-CsCuS 4 and Rb 2 Cu 5 Te 5 were also determined. CsCuZrS 3 melts at 910 C-circle and exhibits partial decomposition upon heating at 275 C-circle, while CsCuZrTe 3 melts incongruently. Our DFT calculations of RbCuZrQ 3 (Q = S, Se) and CsCuZrS 3 indicate direct gap semiconductors in agreement with experiments. ACuZrTe 3 (A = Rb, Cs) were calculated to be metals which was confirmed for RbCuZrTe 3 with variable temperature conductivity measurements and consistent with heat capacity measurements. Spectroscopic measurements found a bandgap and work function of 1.44(5) eV and 4.89(5) eV for RbCuZrS 3 and 0.95(5) eV and 4.67(5) eV for RbCuZrSe 3 , respectively. Finally, RbCuZrTe 3 did not exhibit an optical bandgap and has a work function of 4.64(5) eV. RbCuZrTe 3 exhibits a low thermal conductivity under 0.5 W m -1 K -1 at room temperature.

Expanding Configurational Complexity through Dipole Dilution in Pseudohalide Argyrodite Ion Conductors

The advantageous properties of (pseudo)halide argyrodite ion conductors of the formula Li 6 PS 5 X (X = Cl – , Br – , I – , CN – ) have motivated extensive studies of their structure-transport relationships, particularly as they pertain to the role of atomic site disorder. The argyrodite structure can accommodate additional configurational complexity to promote ion transport via extended three-anion site mixing and the potential for orientational disorder of molecular anions. In this work, we explore a ternary anion system including the cyanide anion, expanding site disorder and introducing dipolar orientations as an additional degree of freedom. We prepared the series Li 6 PS 5 (CN) 1–x Br x , in which the dipolar cyanide anions are systematically diluted with bromide. We find that anion disorder, as determined by synchrotron and neutron diffraction and quantified by configurational entropy (S config ), is correlated with lowered activation barriers and increased lithium ion conductivity. We propose that S config describes the electrostatic heterogeneity of the Li environments, flattening the energetic landscape for ion transport. While anion substitution strongly impacts the activation barrier for transport, the temperature-independent Arrhenius prefactor does not follow the same trend. Through heat-capacity measurements of attempt frequency and deconvolution of terms within the prefactor, we rationalize the apparent decoupling of activation energy and prefactor to strong cyanide-lithium interactions that increase the entropy of migration. Together, these results expand the structure–property relationships in the argyrodite family to encompass multiple facets of disorder and the subsequent impact on lithium ion transport.
