研究目的
Investigating the structural and morphological changes of LiAlO2 under H2-rich environments and understanding the underlying mechanisms through combined experimental and first-principles studies.
研究成果
The study confirms the transformation of α-LiAlO2 to γ-LiAlO2 under H-rich conditions, with γ-LiAlO2 forming octahedral crystallites. DFT calculations support these findings by showing that H-adsorption stabilizes γ-LiAlO2 surfaces, particularly the {101} surface, while destabilizing α-LiAlO2 surfaces. This provides a thermodynamic explanation for the observed phase transformation and morphological changes.
研究不足
The study focuses on the effects of H2-rich environments on LiAlO2, but other factors such as temperature variations and different gas compositions were not explored. The DFT models simplify the synthesized empirical LiAlO2 system, which may not capture all complexities.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved exposing LiAlO2 samples to different gas environments (air/CO2, H2/CO2, and H2) at 650°C to observe phase and morphological changes. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used for characterization.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
LiAlO2 was prepared by solid-state synthesis and immersed in a eutectic melt of Li2CO3 and Na2CO
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
FEI Quanta 250 FEG HRSEM for SEM images, JEOL JEM-2010 FasTEM for TEM measurements, FEI Strata 400s Dual Beam FIB for sample preparation, and Bruker D8 Advance system for XRD analysis.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Samples were exposed to controlled atmospheres, washed, filtered, and dried before characterization.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
DFT calculations were performed to understand surface energetics and morphological changes.
