Hydrothermal solubility of Dy hydroxide as a function of pH and stability of Dy hydroxyl aqueous complexes from 25 to 250 °C

The rare earth elements (REE) have important applications in green energy technologies. The formation of mineral deposits in geologic systems commonly involves hydrothermal fluids which can mobilize the REE. However, the REE speciation is not well known as a function of pH. The thermodynamic properties of REE hydroxyl complexes used in geochemical models are based on the Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers (HKF) equation of state parameters which were derived by extrapolation of low temperature experimental and estimated data. In this study, Dy hydroxide solubility experiments are combined with available literature data to improve these models from 25 to 250 °C and optimize the thermodynamic properties of Dy 3+ and Dy hydroxyl complexes using GEMSFITS. Batch-type solubility experiments were conducted from 150 to 250 °C and at saturated water vapor pressure in perchloric acid solutions with initial pH values of 2 to 5 in 0.5 pH unit increments. The measured solubility of Dy hydroxide is retrograde with temperature and decreases with pH. The logarithm of total dissolved Dy molality ranges from –2.3 to –5.3 at 150 °C (pH 4.7–5.5), from –2.4 to –5.6 at 200 °C (pH 3.9–5.1), and from –3.7 to –6.9 at 250 °C (pH of 3.4 and 5.0). The optimized standard partial molal Gibbs energies of formation (Δ f G° T ) derived for Dy 3+ and DyOH 2+ display a close to linear relationship with temperature, fitting with previous optimizations based on DyPO 4 solubility data in the literature. A comparison of the optimized ΔfG°T values for aqueous Dy species with predictions from available HKF parameters indicates significant differences ranging from +11 to –26 kJ/mol between 25 and 250 °C. The experimental fits are used to derive the Dy hydroxide solubility products (K s0 ) and formation constants for the hydrolysis of Dy (β n with n = 1 to 3; Dy 3+ + nOH – = DyOH n 3-n ) as a function of temperature. The optimization method presented yields accurate thermodynamic properties for the Dy 3+ aqua ions and the DyOH 2+ species at the acidic to mildly acidic pH studied whereas more experimental work is needed at near-neutral and alkaline conditions to better constrain the other hydroxyl complexes. Furthermore, the optimized thermodynamic data have a significant impact on geochemical modeling of the mobility and solubility of REE minerals in acidic hydrothermal fluids.

On dysprosium utilisation in multi-main-phase Nd–Dy–Fe–B magnets with core–shell microstructures

The development of high-performance Nd–Dy–Fe–B magnets that minimise the consumption of the scarce rare earth (RE) element Dy remains a major global scientific and technological quest. Here, we designed an alloy microstructure comprising of a uniform Dy-lean core–Dy-rich shell in a series of multi-main-phase (MMP) Nd–Dy–Fe–B magnets. The resulting MMP Dy1 and Dy3 magnets with an overall Dy level of 1 and 3 wt.% possessed values of 0.48 and 0.29 T/wt.% of coercivity increment per unit weight percentage of the Dy addition, respectively. Most importantly, the resulting MMP Dy3 magnet exhibited a high coercivity (2.38 T), an excellent thermal stability of the coercivity (|β| = 0.531%/°C), a high squareness factor (> 95%), all with little diminishment in the remanent magnetisation (1.35 T) and maximum energy product (43.6 MGOe). These properties are superior to the currently available sintered Nd–Dy–Fe–B magnets which utilise higher levels of Dy of 5 wt.%. Via magnetic and multi-scale microstructural characterisation experiments and micromagnetic simulations, the formation of the Dy-lean core–Dy-rich shell microstructure is rationalised via solid-state-diffusion and solution reprecipitation during liquid-phase sintering. The Dy-lean core–Dy-rich shell microstructure and the non-ferromagnetic low-Fe RE-rich grain boundary phase led to the synergistic magnetic performance. This is significant in the context of the MMP Nd–Dy–Fe–B magnets being applied to large-scale production. The present work establishes a pathway for the more sustainable utilisation of Dy in permanent magnets via formation of a uniform core–shell microstructure.

In situ Raman investigation of Dy complexation in Cl-bearing aqueous solutions at 20–300 °C

Raman spectroscopy provides a versatile tool for in situ characterization of aqueous rare earth elements (REE) speciation at the molecular level. Complexation of REE with ligands such as Cl – and OH – is of particular interest for understanding the mobility of REE in NaCl-bearing hydrothermal fluids responsible for enriching REE to economic levels in nature. Raman spectroscopic studies of REE speciation in Cl-bearing aqueous fluids are primarily conducted at ambient temperature, whereas natural systems indicate temperatures of >100–600 °C. In this study, the speciation of Dy in acidic chloride-bearing hydrothermal solutions was investigated using confocal Raman spectroscopy with a new capillary Raman heating stage at 20–300 °C. Background solutions (pure water, NaCl-solutions) and solutions with 0.14–1.8 mol kg –1 dissolved DyCl 3 were sealed in quartz capillary cells. Comparison of the spectra for Dy chloride solutions with those for background solutions and the spectra for reference Dy-bearing solids was used to identify Raman bands specific to Dy–O and Dy–Cl bonds. The Raman band for the Dy–O stretching mode of hydrated Dy 3+ aqua ions was measured at 365–384 cm –1 and a Raman band for the Dy–Cl stretching modes of Dy chloride complexes was measured near 240 cm –1 . The Dy–O band decreases systematically with temperature, whereas the Dy–Cl band systematically increases, indicating a systematic increase in the stability of Dy chloride complexes with temperature. Here, this study provides the framework for expanding the use of in situ Raman spectroscopy to investigate the speciation of REE in aqueous solutions to hydrothermal conditions.

Development of YAG:Dy Thermographic Phosphor Coatings for Turbine Engine Applications

The selection and development of thermographic phosphor coatings were pursued to meet the objective of demonstrating luminescence-decay-based temperature measurements up to 1300C on the surface of a vane in an operating demonstrator turbine engine. To meet this objective, YAG:Dy was selected based on the desirable luminescence performance observed for YAG:Dy powder: (1) excellent temperature sensitivity and intensity at operating turbine engine temperatures, (2) an emission peak at the relatively short wavelength of 456 nm, where the interference from background blackbody radiation is fairly low, and (3) its nearly single exponential decay which makes for a simple, reliable temperature calibration. However, implementation of YAG:Dy for surface temperature measurements required application of YAG:Dy as a coating onto the surface of a superalloy component with a preexisting yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coating (TBC). An inherent dilemma in producing a YAG:Dy coating is that coating processing is constrained to be performed at temperatures below (less than 1200C) what is considered safe for the superalloy component, much lower than temperatures used to produce the high quality crystalline powder. Therefore, YAG:Dy coatings tend to exhibit lower luminescence performance compared to well prepared YAG:Dy powder, and the luminescence performance of the coating will depend on the method of coating deposition. In this presentation, the luminescence performance of YAG:Dy coatings prepared by the different methods of (1) application of a binder-based YAG:Dy-containing paint, (2) solution precursor plasma spray (SPPS), and (3) electron-beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) and the effect of post-deposition heat treatments will be discussed.

Dy adsorption on and intercalation under graphene on 6 H -SiC(0001) surface from first-principles calculations

Previous experimental observations motivate clarification of configuration stabilities and kinetic processes for intercalation of guest atoms into a layered van der Waals material such as a graphene-SiC system. From our first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we analyze Dy adsorption and intercalation for graphene on a 6H-SiC(0001) surface, where the system includes two single-atom-thick graphene layers: the top-layer graphene (TLG) and the underling buffer-layer graphene (BLG) above the terminal Si layer. Our chemical potential analysis shows that intercalation of a single Dy atom into the gallery between TLG and BLG is more favorable than adsorption on TLG but that intercalation into the gallery underneath BLG is highly unfavorable. We obtain diffusion barriers of ~0.45 and 0.54 eV for a Dy atom diffusing on and under TLG, respectively. We find that the direct penetration of a Dy atom from the graphene top into the gallery under TLG is almost inhibited below a temperature of ~1400 K due to a large global barrier of at least ~3.5 eV. Instead, we find that a single Dy atom on TLG can easily intercalate by crossing a TLG step (e.g., a zigzag step presaturated by a Dy chain or a reconstructed zigzag step zz57). Additionally, we also perform DFT calculations for different Dy coverages to demonstrate how the favorability of Dy intercalation, as well as the corresponding interlayer spacings, depend on the coverage. Consequently, we can provide general insight and guidance for extensively studied systems involving intercalation of foreign atoms into graphene on a SiC substrate.
