We report the stabilization of the high-temperature (high-T) phase of lithium carba-closo-decaborate, Li(CB9H10), via the formation of solid solutions in a Li(CB9H10)-Li2(B12H12) quasi-binary system. Li(CB9H10)-based solid solutions in which [CB9H10]− is replaced by [B12H12]2− were obtained at compositions with low x values in the (1−x)Li(CB9H10)−xLi2(B12H12) system. An increase in the extent of [B12H12]2− substitution promoted stabilization of the high-T phase of Li(CB9H10), resulting in an increase in the lithium-ion conductivity. Superionic conductivities of over 10−3 S cm−1 were achieved for the compounds with 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.4. In addition, a comparison of the Li(CB9H10)−Li2(B12H12) system and the Li(CB9H10)−Li(CB11H12) system suggests that the valence of the complex anions plays an important role in the ionic conduction. In battery tests, an all-solid-state Li–TiS2 cell employing 0.6Li(CB9H10)−0.4Li2(B12H12) (x = 0.4) as a solid electrolyte presented reversible battery reactions during repeated discharge–charge cycles. The current study offers an insight into strategies to develop complex hydride solid electrolytes.

Dysprosia (Dy203) undergoes a monoclinic (B) to cubic (C) transformation on cooling through 1860°C, which is accompanied by an 8% volume increase and shattering. Minor additions of CaO combined with rapid quenching, however, are able to stabilize the high temperature phase at room temperature, which is incommensurately modulated. TEM studies revealed the existence of three different modulations: q1 (001-type; λ ≈ 9.0 Å), q2 (200-type; λ ≈ 7.5 Å), and q3 (λ ≈ 40 Å). HREM studies on modulated specimens have been conducted to search for the origin of these modulated microstructures.Fig. 1 shows characteristic modulations in the [010]B orientation. Whereas both q1 and q2 look like normal lattice fringes in moderate resolution TEM images, HREM images indicate that they are actually not strictly linear but somewhat displaced. This discontinuity is more obvious in the HREM images displaying separate q1 and q2 modulations such as q1 in the [110] orientation (Fig. 2) and q2 in the [011] orientation (Fig. 3).

Plastic crystals, such as neopentylglycol, 2, 2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol, that exhibit polymorphic behavior are emerging materials for thermal energy storage. The energy is stored isothermally in the γ phase, FCC, during solid-state phase transformations. This γ phase of NPG has been determined as an orientational disordered phase. The low temperature α phase structure, which is of great significance in the evaluation of lattice expansions and other parameters, was first determined in 1961. However, the reported unit cell dimensions and the intensities of the reflections led to erroneous indexing of the powder patterns in binary systems. The α phase structure is redetermined here as monoclinic, M= 104.15 amu, space group P21/n (an alternate setting of , space group No. 14), a = 5.979(1)Å, b= 10.876(2)Å, c=10.099(2)Å, β=99.78(1)°, V=647.2(2)Å3 at 20°(± 1)C, Dx= 1.069 g cm s−3 for Z=4. In this paper the redetermined structure of the α phase of NPG is presented in projections of the atomic positions, in tables, and in calculated powder pattern and these results are compared with those reported by others. The powder patterns obtained from the Bragg–Brentano diffractometer are compared with our calculated pattern from the single crystal data. The structural parameters of the high temperature phase of NPG as determined by a Guinier diffraction system are also reported.

Abstract Solid solutions of Li2SO4 in the high-temperature phase Na2SO4 (I) have a much higher conductivity than expected. Diffusion and electromigration experiments show that both Li+ and Na+ ions are very mobile. It is concluded that the Li+ ions go into interstitial positions of the type (1/2,0,0), while vacancies are created in the Na+ lattice
