要旨

The formation of LiBD4 by the reaction of LiD in a diborane/hydrogen atmosphere was analysed by in situ neutron diffraction and subsequent microstructural and chemical analysis of the final product. The neutron diffraction shows that nucleation of LiBD4 already starts at temperatures of 100 °C, i.e. in its low temperature phase (orthorhombic structure). However, even at higher temperatures the reaction is incomplete. We observe a yield of approximately 50% at a temperature of 185 °C. A core shell structure of the grains, in which LiBD4 forms a passivation layer on the surface of the LiD grains, was found in the subsequent microstructural (electron microscopy) and chemical (electron energy loss spectrometry) analysis.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
