Superionic Conduction in Co‐Vacant P2‐NaxCoO2 Created by Hydrogen Reductive Elimination
نویسندگان
چکیده
The layered P2-Nax MO2 (M: transition metal) system has been widely recognized as electronic or mixed conductor. Here, we demonstrate that Co vacancies in P2-Nax CoO2 created by hydrogen reductive elimination lead to an ionic conductivity of 0.045 S cm(-1) at 25 °C. Using in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, the composition of the superionic conduction phase is evaluated to be Na0.61 (H3 O)0.18 Co0.93 O2 . Electromotive force measurements as well as molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the ion conducting species is proton rather than hydroxide ion. The fact that the Co-stoichiometric compound Nax (H3 O)y CoO2 does not exhibit any significant ionic conductivity proves that Co vacancies are essential for the occurrence of superionic conductivity.

The phase diagram of high-pressure superionic ice
Superionic ice is a special group of ice phases at high temperature and pressure, which may exist in ice-rich planets and exoplanets. In superionic ice liquid hydrogen coexists with a crystalline oxygen sublattice. At high pressures, the properties of superionic ice are largely unknown. Here we report evidence that from 280 GPa to 1.3 TPa, there are several competing phases within the close-pac...
متن کاملExperimental evidence of superionic conduction in H2O ice.
Ionic conductivity and molar volume measurements were performed on H(2)O ice at high pressure (P) and temperature (T) in a resistive-heated diamond anvil cell. The conductivity data obtained at P = 20-62 GPa, T = 304-930 K are well fitted with a single Arrhenius equation. Isothermal volume measurements at T = 873 K, P = 30-101 GPa indicate that H(2)O ice undergoes phase transitions at P = 50 GP...

Layered Na−metal oxides can form in different crystal structures, each with different electrochemical behavior. As a prototype system to better understand how each phase can be formed, we present the conditions under which different layered phases of NaxCoO2 can be stabilized in solidstate synthesis. Using a novel combination of ex situ XRD on as-synthesized samples, with in situ XRD to monitor...
متن کاملReductive Coupling of H - H , H - C , and C - C Bonds from Pd Complexes
Reductive coupling to form H-H, C-H, and C-C bonds from transition-metal complexes is of fundamental importance in many catalytic processes. However, despite numerous experimental' and theoretical2 studies, there remain a number of puzzles concerning these processes. For example, reductive elimination of methane from Pt(H)(CH3)(PPh3), is quite facile at -25 'C,ld while Pt(CH3)2(PPh,)2 is qkite ...
