Signature of supervisor:…………………………. iii Doped alkaline earth (nitride) hydrides Summary The work in this thesis relates to the preparation and structural and electrical characterisation of calcium and strontium hydrides, imides and nitride hydrides. Conventional solid state methods in controlled atmospheres were used to synthesise these materials. High temperature neutron diffraction, thermal analysis and conductivity studies performed on calcium and strontium hydride suggest an order – disorder transition in these materials at 350 – 450°C. Disordering is believed to involve rapid exchange of hydride ions across two crystallographic sites. This manifests itself in a lowering of the activation energy for bulk hydride ion conduction. The hydride ion conduction is good in these undoped materials: σtotal = 0.01 S/cm for CaH2 at 1000K; for SrH2, σtotal = 0.01 S/cm at 830K. Doping of SrH2 with NaH causes a significant increase in the low temperature conductivity, due to presence of extrinsic defects. The high temperature conductivity is negatively affected by NaH doping. Calcium nitride hydride (Ca2NH) was obtained as a single phase material by reacting either calcium metal or calcium hydride (CaH2) in an argon atmosphere containing 5 – 7% H2 and 1 – 7% N2. Imide ions substituting for hydride and nitride ions constitute a major chemical defect in this material. Long range ordering of the nitride and hydride ions occurs, giving rise to a double cubic crystal symmetry. This order breaks down at 600 – 650°C. Applying the same reaction conditions to strontium metal results in a mixed phase of strontium nitride hydride and imide. No long range order in the nitride hydride phase could be observed. Doping Ca2NH with lithium hydride (LiH) causes the appearance of a second calcium imide phase, whereas doping with sodium hydride (NaH) increases the amount of imide ions as a defect in the nitride hydride structure, thereby decreasing the long range ordering of nitride and hydride ions. iv Doped alkaline earth (nitride) hydrides Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank Prof. John Irvine for offering me the PhD position in his group on this project. My experience in the field of solid state chemistry prior to this PhD was quite minimal and so was the knowledge and experience within the group on this specific type of chemistry I have been doing, so all your scientific input and support have been ever so helpful in getting this work done. Also your positivism about the usefulness of hydride ion electrochemistry (which possibly not everybody shares) has absolutely been an inspiration. Thanks also go to the members of the JTSI group, who I’ve worked with over the past three and a half years. I’d like to especially thank Julie for all the help in the lab, the moral support during glovebox maintenance operations and just everything. Thank you, Sylvia, for always finding slots for me on the thermal analysis equipment and for getting me hooked on Lost. I’d also like to thank the people from the David-Cole Hamilton group for allowing me to use some of their lab space and helping me prepare some chemicals; especially thanks to Simon for spending hours with me trying to prepare sodium hydride (we never managed to do it, but it was fun playing with all those explosive chemicals!!). Big thanks too, to Bobby, George, Jim, Brian and Colin for fixing all sorts of things in your workshops and also for helping me move that glovebox a few times. I couldn’t have done this work without your help, guys. The final work related thanks are for Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble, France, for granting me beamtime on their neutron beamline and to Emmanuelle Suard in particular for helping me carrying out my experiments there. Then there is of course the words of gratitude to the people who helped me get through three and a half years outside the chemistry building. Cheers, Fran and Kelcey for initiating me in the Cellar Bar music quiz, which we’ve managed to win all of once during my stay here. Thanks Davo for bringing Australian drinking culture to St Andrews and for bringing the thunder on many occasions; Chris, Dave, Steve, Maria, Walter and Davo (again) for putting up with me in the house and for all the banter and shenanigans….and for some reason I can see some more coming up in the near future; Gil for some excellent cooking and some infamous parties; Sneh for endless positive energy and Pierrot for being Pierrot; Mark and Diane for great company and being brilliant beer connoisseurs. Finally a big thank to the jazz gang in the Byre for keeping the groove going on Thursdays and any other gigs. Switching to Dutch: Bedankt, Pa en Ma voor jullie continue morele en financiele steun de afgelopen jaren. Ik weet dat ik gedurende een lange periode het niet al te zonnig inzag, maar gelukkig kon ik altijd op jullie positieve kijk en vertrouwen rekenen.

Kaner, Chair New routes to solid states materials are needed for discovery and the realization of improved reactions. By utilizing reactive approaches such as solid-state metathesis, pyrolysis, and nitride fluxes new routes to hard materials, phosphor hosts, and fast ion conductors were developed. The fast ion conductor lithium silicon nitride, Li2SiN2, was produced in a metathesis reaction between silicon chloride, SiCl4 and lithium nitride, Li3N, initiated in a conventional microwave oven. The Li2SiN2 produced had a conductivity of 2.70 x 10-3 S/cm at 500 °C. Colorless millimeter-sized crystals of Ca16Si17N34 were synthesized at high temperatures from a flux generated in situ from reaction intermediates. The ii compound was found to crystallize in the cubic space group F-43m (a = 14.8882 Å).

  • Multi-Ionic Lithium Salts for Use in Solid Polymer
    A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree by Examining Committee Members: ABSTRACT Commercial lithium ion batteries use liquid electrolytes because of their high ionic conductivity (>10-3 S/cm) over a broad range of temperatures, high dielectric constant, and good electrochemical stability with the electrodes (mainly the cathode). The disadvantages of their use in lithium ion batteries are that they react violently with lithium metal, have special packing needs, and have low lithium ion transference + numbers (tLi = 0.2-0.3). These limitations prevent them from being used in high energy and power applications such as in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug in electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage on the grid. Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) will be good choice for replacing liquid electrolytes in lithium/lithium ion batteries because of their increased safety and ease of processability. However, SPEs suffer from RT low ionic conductivity and transference numbers. There have been many approaches to increase the ionic conductivity in solid polymer electrolytes. These have focused on decreasing the crystallinity in the most studied polymer electrolyte, polyethylene oxide (PEO), on finding methods to promote directed ion transport, and on the development of single ion conductors, where the anions are + + immobile and only the Li ions migrate (i.e. tLi = 1). But these attempts have not yet achieved the goal of replacing liquid electrolytes with solid polymer electrolytes in lithium ion batteries. In order to increase ionic conductivity and lithium ion transference numbers in solid polymer electrolytes, I have focused on the development of multi-ionic lithium salts.

  • Gases in Metals: Iii. the Determination of Nitrogen in Metals by Fusion in Vacuum
    S563 GASES IN METALS: III. THE DETERMINATION OF NITROGEN IN METALS BY FUSION IN VACUUM By Louis Jordan and James R. Eckman ABSTRACT A method has been developed for the determination of nitrogen in the gases evolved from metals fused in vacuum. As in a previously described method for the determination of oxygen and hydrogen by vacuum fusion, the metal sample is melted in a graphite crucible in a high-frequency vacuum furnace. The nitrogen, together with the other gases evolved except the noble gases, is absorbed in calcium vapor. The calcium nitride thus formed is dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid with the formation of an ammonium salt, and the resulting ammonia is determined by distillation into a standard acid. The efficiency of the determination of nitrogen by absorption in calcium vapor was determined by tests with known gas mixtures. The complete vacuum-fusion procedure was applied to the analysis of several synthetic nitrides (silicon, aluminum, titanium, zirconium, chromium, vanadium) and a few irons and steels. The results ob- tained were compared with the nitrogen values given by the usual acid-solution method for nitrogen in metals. The fusion method has a precision equal to that of .the solution method and gives higher values for nitrogen than the solution method in the analysis of nitrides of silicon, titanium, and vanadium and in certain iron and steel samples. The fusion method should determine also any "uncombined" nitrogen present in a metal. CONTENTS Page I. Introduction 468 II. Review of methods for determining nitrogen in gas mixtures 470 III.

  • Tunable Light-Emission Through the Range 1.8–3.2 Ev and P-Type Conductivity at Room Temperature for Nitride Semiconductors, Ca(Mg1−Xznx)2N2 (X = 0 – 1)”
    Tunable light-emission through the range 1.8–3.2 eV and p-type conductivity at room temperature for nitride semiconductors, Ca(Mg1−xZnx)2N2 (x = 0 – 1) Masatake Tsuji,1 Hidenori Hiramatsu,1,2,a and Hideo Hosono1,2 1: Laboratory for Materials and Structures, Institute of Innovative Research, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Mailbox R3-3, 4259 Nagatsuta-cho, Midori-ku, Yokohama 226-8503, Japan 2: Materials Research Center for Element Strategy, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Mailbox SE-1, 4259 Nagatsuta-cho, Midori-ku, Yokohama 226-8503, Japan a) Electronic mail: [email protected] 1 Abstract The ternary nitride CaZn2N2, composed only of earth-abundant elements, is a novel semiconductor with a band gap of ~1.8 eV. First-principles calculations predict that continuous Mg substitution at the Zn site will change the optical band gap in a wide range from ~3.3 eV to ~1.9 eV for Ca(Mg1−xZnx)2N2 (x = 0–1). In this study, we demonstrate that a solid-state reaction at ambient pressure and a high-pressure synthesis at 5 GPa produce x = 0 and 0.12, and 0.12 < x 1 polycrystalline samples, respectively. It is experimentally confirmed that the optical band gap can be continuously tuned from ~3.2 eV to ~1.8 eV, a range very close to that predicted by theory. Band-to-band photoluminescence is observed at room temperature in the ultraviolet–red region depending on x. A 2% Na doping at the Ca site of CaZn2N2 converts its highly resistive state to a p-type conducting state.
