  • Effect of Eutectic Melting, Reactive Hydride Composites, and Nanoconfinement on Decomposition and Reversibility of LiBH4–KBH4
    Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2015
    Co-Authors: Elsa Roedern, Bjarne R S Hansen, Torben R Jensen
    Abstract:

    Eutectic Melting, reactive hydride composites, and nanoconfinement have the potential to improve the reversible hydrogen storage properties in metal borohydrides. We study and compare the combined effect of all three methods on reversible hydrogen release and uptake of the Eutectic Melting lithium potassium borohydride system, 0.725LiBH4–0.275KBH4, with low Melting temperature (Tm = 105 °C). The Eutectic mixture and reactive hydride composites of the Eutectic mixture with Mg or MgH2 are melt infiltrated into a CO2 activated nanoporous carbon scaffold, and their properties are compared to those of bulk samples. The decomposition of 0.725LiBH4–0.275KBH4 and the reactive hydride composites initiates simultaneously with the Melting at 105 °C, but the decomposition remains slow until higher temperatures are reached (T > 300 °C). Eutectic Melting appears to improve kinetics of hydrogen release and absorption, while nanoconfinement lowers the main hydrogen release temperature in the first cycle by up to 200 °C. ...

  • Melting Behavior and Thermolysis of NaBH 4 −Mg(BH 4 ) 2 and NaBH 4 −Ca(BH 4 ) 2 Composites
    Energies, 2015
    Co-Authors: Elsa Roedern, Peter Thygesen, Torben R Jensen
    Abstract:

    The physical properties and the hydrogen release of NaBH 4 –Mg(BH 4 ) 2 and NaBH 4 −Ca(BH 4 ) 2 composites are investigated using in situ synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis and temperature programmed photographic analysis. The composite, x NaBH 4 –(1 − x )Mg(BH 4 ) 2 , x = 0.4 to 0.5, shows Melting/frothing between 205 and 220 °C. However, the sample does not become a transparent molten phase. This behavior is similar to other alkali-alkaline earth metal borohydride composites. In the x NaBH 4 –(1 − x )Ca(BH 4 ) 2 system, Eutectic Melting is not observed. Interestingly, Eutectic Melting in metal borohydrides systems leads to partial thermolysis and hydrogen release at lower temperatures and the control of sample Melting may open new routes for obtaining high-capacity hydrogen storage materials.

  • Eutectic Melting of libh4 kbh4
    Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2014
    Co-Authors: Elsa Roedern, Torben R Jensen
    Abstract:

    Eutectic Melting in mixtures of alkali and alkali earth metal borohydrides can pave the way for new applications as fast ionic conductors, and facilitate hydrogen release by low temperature chemical reactions and convenient nanoconfinement. Here, we determine the Eutectic composition for the lithium potassium borohydride system, 0.725LiBH4–0.275KBH4, with the lowest Melting point, Tmelt ∼105 °C, of all known alkali and alkali earth metal borohydride mixtures. Mechanochemistry and manual mixing of LiBH4–KBH4 mixtures facilitate the formation of LiK(BH4)2. However, the Melting or heat treatments used in this work do not produce LiK(BH4)2. The bimetallic borohydride dissociates into the monometallic borohydrides at ∼95 °C and partial Melting occurs at ∼105 °C. Analysis of the unit cell volumes of LiBH4, KBH4 and LiK(BH4)2 in the temperature range 25 to 90 °C indicates that the formation of the bimetallic borohydride is facilitated by a more dense packing as compared to the reactants. Thus, LiK(BH4)2 is considered metastable and the formation is pressure induced. A phase diagram for the LiBH4–KBH4 system is established, which illustrates the low Eutectic Melting point and the stability range for the bimetallic borohydride, LiK(BH4)2.

  • Eutectic Melting in metal borohydrides
    Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Mark Paskevicius, Torben R Jensen, Drew A Sheppard, Craig E Buckley
    Abstract:

    A series of monometallic borohydrides and borohydride Eutectic mixtures have been investigated during thermal ramping by mass spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and photography. Mixtures of LiBH4–NaBH4, LiBH4–KBH4, LiBH4–Mg(BH4)2, LiBH4–Ca(BH4)2, LiBH4–Mn(BH4)2, NaBH4–KBH4, and LiBH4–NaBH4–KBH4 all displayed Melting behaviour below that of the monometallic phases (up to 167 °C lower). Generally, each system behaves differently with respect to their physical behaviour upon Melting. The molten phases can exhibit colour changes, bubbling and in some cases frothing, or even liquid–solid phase transitions during hydrogen release. Remarkably, the Eutectic melt can also allow for hydrogen release at temperatures lower than that of the individual components. Some systems display decomposition of the borohydride in the solid-state before Melting and certain hydrogen release events have also been linked to the adverse reaction of samples with impurities, usually within the starting reagents, and these may also be coupled with bubbling or frothing of the ionic melt.

  • DTA/TGA Study of Eutectic Melting in the System BaF2-BaO-Y2O3-CuOx-H2O | NIST
    MRS Proceedings, 2020
    Co-Authors: Lawrence P. Cook, Winnie Wong-ng
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACTDifferential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric analysis (DTA/TGA) experiments have been completed in the BaF2-BaO-Y2O3-CuOx-H2O system at various oxygen pressures to determine the effect of adding solid BaF2and gaseous H2O (at pH2O = 2.5 kPa) on the Eutectic Melting in the system BaO-Y2O3-CuOx. We have investigated the Eutectic Melting temperature over the range of pO2 = 20 Pa to pO2 = 0.1 MPa under the following conditions: 1) without BaF2 or H2O; 2) with H2O only; 3) with BaF2 only; 4) with both BaF2 and H2O. Results indicate that without BaF2 or H2O, Eutectic Melting is depressed from 917°C at pO2 = 0.1 MPa to 838°C at pO2 = 1 kPa. At oxygen pressures below 1 kPa, down to pO2 = 20 Pa, no further lowering of Eutectic Melting temperature was observed. The topologies of the temperature vs. log pO2 curves for various combinations of BaF2 and H2O were similar to that for the experiments without BaF2 or H2O, but all curves were shifted to lower temperatures. For the experiments with addition of BaF2 only, H2O only, and BaF2 with H2O, the Eutectic Melting temperatures as a function of pO2 were lowered by, respectively, 5°C - 15°C, 15°C - 25°C and 20°C - 30°C. Application of results to the “BaF2ex-situ” method of processing Ba2YCu3Ox coated conductors is discussed.

  • Subsolidus and Melting phase relationships of the PbOxCaOCuO system in air
    Physica C-superconductivity and Its Applications, 1997
    Co-Authors: W. Wong-ng, Lawrence P. Cook, W. Greenwood, F. Jiang
    Abstract:

    Abstract Phase equilibrium studies of the PbO x CaOCuO system were conducted from the subsolidus at 770°C to the Melting of Ca 2 CuO 3 at 1034°C. No ternary oxide compounds were found. Twelve isothermal sections and a liquidus diagram outlining the primary phase fields are presented. At 770°C, in the subsolidus, Ca 2 PbO 4 was found to be in equilibrium with Ca 2 CuO 3 , CaO, PbO x and CuO. The Eutectic Melting temperature is ≈ 780°C, and the Eutectic Melting reaction is: PbO + Ca 2 PbO 4 + CuO → liquid. Two additional ternary Melting reactions were characterized. Above 1034°C, the only solid compounds remaining are CaO and CuO.

  • bao 1 2y2o3 cuox Eutectic Melting in air
    Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 1994
    Co-Authors: Winnie Wongng, Lawrence P. Cook
    Abstract:

    Eutectic Melting in the BaO-[1/2]Y[sub 2]O[sub 3]-CuO[sub x] system has been investigated, using three different compositions. Thermal events up to 1,100 C were studied by means of differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetric analysis (DTA/TGA). Phase formation and compositions of melts were examined using powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/EDS) of quenched experiments. The Eutectic occurs at 923 [+-] 10 C in CO[sub 2]-, and H[sub 2]O-scrubbed air, and the Eutectic melt has a Ba:Y:Cu cation ratio of 23.2([+-]0.5):0.5([+-]0.1):76.3(1.0). The oxygen content of the quenched Eutectic melt, as determined by hydrogen reduction, indicated that nearly all of the copper in the melt was present as Cu[sup +]. A topological sequence, based on the X-ray results, is presented which describes the events immediately following Melting.
