Exploring Mg^2+ and Ca^2+ Conductors Via Solid-State Metathesis Reactions
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Magnesium and calcium batteries offer promising energy storage solutions
characterised by cost-effectiveness, safety, and high energy density. However,
the scarcity of viable electrode and electrolyte materials vastly hinders their
advancement. This study utilises solid-state metathetical reactions involving
predominantly chalcogen- and pnictogen-based honeycomb layered oxides with
alkaline-earth halides/nitrates to synthesise Mg^2+- and Ca^2+-based materials previously achievable only under
high-temperature/high-pressure conditions, as well as new metastable materials
with unique crystal versatility. Particularly, we employ metathetical reactions
involving Li_4MgTeO_6, Na_2Mg_2TeO_6, and Na_4MgTeO_6 with
MgCl_2/Mg(NO_3)_2 or Ca(NO_3)_2 at temperatures not exceeding
500^∘C to produce Mg_3TeO_6 polymorphs, ilmenite-type CaMg_2TeO_6 (Mg_2CaTeO_6), and double perovskite Ca_2MgTeO_6.
Thus, we demonstrate that these materials, conventionally requiring gigascale
pressures and high temperatures (> 1000 ^∘C) for their proper
synthesis, are now readily accessible at ambient pressure and considerably
lower temperatures. Meanwhile, despite sub-optimal pellet densities, the
synthesised ilmenite-type Mg_3TeO_6 and double perovskite Ca_2M
TeO_6 (M = Mg,Ca,Zn) materials exhibit remarkable bulk ionic
conductivity at room temperature, marking them as promising compositional
spaces for exploring novel Mg^2+ and Ca^2+ conductors.
Furthermore, this study extends the applicability of metathetical reactions to
attain Mg- or Ca-based bismuthates, antimonates, ruthenates,
tungstates, titanates, phosphates, and silicates, thus opening avenues to novel
multifunctional nanomaterial platforms with utility in energy storage and
beyond.
