  • solubilities for the two ternary systems water Lithium bromide Lithium Iodide and water Lithium chloride Lithium nitrate at various temperatures
    Journal of Chemical & Engineering Data, 1993
    Co-Authors: Shigeki Iyoki, Shozo Iwasaki, Yutaka Kuriyama, Tadashi Uemura
    Abstract:

    The analyses of absorption refrigeration and heat pump systems need extensive thermodynamic information such as heat capacities, heats of mixing, vapor pressures, solubilities, densities, viscosities, and surface tensions for working medium plus absorbent systems. Solubilities for the water + Lithium bromide + Lithium Iodide (salt mole ratio 4:1) and the water + Lithium chloride + Lithium nitrate (salt model ratio 2.8:1) systems were measured by means of visual polythermal method from 277.75 to 415.15 K and from 284.85 to 351.75 K, respectively. The transition point for the water + Lithium bromide + Lithium Iodide system existed at 65.3 mass % salts and 293.85 K and at 54.2 mass % salts and 295.75 K for the water + Lithium chloride + Lithium nitrate system. Two solid-liquid phases for these two ternary systems were stable below and above the individual transition point. Two least-squares regression equations as a function of absolute temperatures were obtained from the individual measured solubility data for these two ternary systems. The maximum and average absolute deviations of the calculated values from the individual experimental data were 0.29 and 0.10 % for the water + Lithium chloride + Lithium nitrate system, respectively.

  • Lithium Iodide effect on the electrochemical behavior of agarose based polymer electrolyte for dye sensitized solar cell
    Electrochimica Acta, 2011
    Co-Authors: Weijia Wang, Xueyi Guo, Ying Yang
    Abstract:

    Abstract The effect of Lithium Iodide (LiI: 0–85 wt%) on the electrochemical behavior of agarose-based polymer electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) was investigated. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) were employed to characterize the interactions between polymer matrix and salt and the morphology of the agarose electrolytes, respectively. From the AC impedance spectra study, it was determined that the conduction behavior of the agarose-based polymer electrolyte matches the “salt-in-polymer” like behavior of low LiI content (0–25 wt%) and “polymer-in-salt” like behavior of high LiI content (25–85 wt%). Detailed analysis of characteristic electrochemical processes occurring in DSSC with these agarose electrolytes was also obtained by employing the EIS technique. The impedance spectra showed that the electron lifetime of DSSC was shortened with increasing LiI concentration, while the charge transfer resistance and charge recombination resistance were reduced when LiI concentration was increased.

  • Effect of Lithium Iodide Addition on Poly(ethylene oxide)−Poly(vinylidene fluoride) Polymer-Blend Electrolyte for Dye-Sensitized Nanocrystalline Solar Cell
    Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2008
    Co-Authors: Ying Yang, Sujuan Wu, Hongwei Han, Bolei Chen, Conghua Zhou, Sheng Xu, Jing Zhang, Wei Liu, Xingzhong Zhao
    Abstract:

    The effect of Lithium Iodide concentration on the conduction behavior of poly(ethylene oxide)−poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PEO−PVDF) polymer-blend electrolyte and the corresponding performance of the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) were studied. The conduction behavior of these electrolytes was investigated with varying LiI concentration (10−60 wt % in polymer blend) by impedance spectroscopy. A “polymer-in-salt” like conduction behavior has been observed in the high salt concentration region. The transition from “salt-in-polymer” to “polymer-in-salt” conduction behavior happened at the salt content of 23.4 wt %, which is much lower than 50 wt % as generally reported. The electrolyte shows the highest ionic conductivity (∼10−3 S cm−1) at the salt concentration above 23.4 wt %. From the evaluation of salt effect on the performances of corresponding DSSC, we find that increasing LiI concentration leads to increased short-circuit photocurrent density (Jsc) caused by enhanced I3− diffusion up to an LiI content...

  • effect of Lithium Iodide on the performance of dye sensitized solar cells dssc using poly ethylene oxide peo poly vinyl alcohol pva based gel polymer electrolytes
    Optical Materials, 2018
    Co-Authors: L P Teo, T S Tiong, M H Buraidah, A K Arof
    Abstract:

    Abstract In this work, different concentrations of Lithium Iodide (LiI) have been added to the gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) containing PEO and PVA in equal ratio, tetrabutylammonium Iodide (TBAI), ethylene carbonate (EC), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and iodine crystals (I2). The effect of introducing Lithium Iodide (LiI) into PEO-PVA blended GPE system having TBAI has been investigated in terms of optical, electrical, thermal and electrochemical characteristics. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been carried out to study the interaction of LiI with the GPEs. The GPE without LiI showed the highest conductivity of 5.50 mS cm−1 at room temperature. With the incorporation of LiI, decrement in conductivity was observed. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with configuration FTO/TiO2/N3-dye/GPE/Pt/FTO have been fabricated and tested under white light of intensity 100 mW cm−2. The DSSC made of GPE with 1.34 wt% LiI exhibited highest efficiency, η of 6.26%.

  • structural studies and ionic conductivity of Lithium Iodide Lithium tungstate solid electrolytes
    Ionics, 2002
    Co-Authors: Azizah Hanom Ahmad, A K Arof
    Abstract:

    Solid mixtures of calcined Lithium Iodide - Lithium tungstate (LiI -Li2WO4) have been found to be potential solid electrolytes for practical applications with high conductivities of about 10−3 S·cm−1 at room temperature. The highest ionic conductivity was recorded for the sample containing 20 wt.-% of Lithium Iodide. The ionic conductivity was related to the structure of the material using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared techniques (FTIR). These experiments confirm the evidence of interaction between LiI and Li2WO4. FTIR spectroscopy revealed the existence of a band at 1505 cm−1 which is formed as a result of this LiI -Li2WO4 interaction. The new phase acts as a conducting pathway for the ions to migrate through the material. Lithium ionic conduction was confirmed by measuring the transference number by Wagner's polarization technique. The ionic transference number of this solid electrolyte was found to be 1 within the limits of error.
