Abstract

A solution based wet chemistry approach has been developed for synthesizing Li{sub 2}SiO{sub 3} using LiNO{sub 3} and mesoporous silica as starting materials at 550 deg. C. A reaction path where NO and O{sub 2} are formed as side-products is proposed. The crystals synthesized exhibit dendritic growth where the as-prepared nanodendrite is a typical 1-fold nanodendrite composed of one several microns long and some tenth of nanometers wide trunk with small branches, which are several hundreds of nanometers long and up to 70 nm in diameter. The effect of the structure of the mesoporous silica for the final morphology is discussed. - Graphical abstract: TG/DSC and gas analysis (inset) curves of the synthesis reaction measured in air and SEM micrograph of the Li{sub 2}SiO{sub 3} dendrite obtained. Highlights: > We present a simple template-based method for preparing unusual 2-D lithium metasilicate (Li{sub 2}SiO{sub 3}) dendritic nanostructures. > The high purity of the final Li{sub 2}SiO{sub 3} is explained by the reaction mechanism proposed. > This templated synthesis method provides a new route for direct growth of dendritic nanostructures.

Surfactant-assisted hydrothermal crystallization of nanostructured lithium metasilicate (Li{sub 2}SiO{sub 3}) hollow spheres: (I) Synthesis, structural and microstructural characterization

Journal Article Ortiz-Landeros, J; Contreras-Garcia, M; Gomez-Yanez, C; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Lithium metasilicate (Li{sub 2}SiO{sub 3}) was successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal process in the presence of different surfactants with cationic, non-ionic and anionic characters. The samples obtained were compared to a sample prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The structural and microstructural characterizations of different Li{sub 2}SiO{sub 3} powders were performed using various techniques. Diffraction analyses revealed the successful crystallization of pure Li{sub 2}SiO{sub 3} single phase by hydrothermal technique, even without further heat-treatments and independent of the surfactant used. Electron microscopy analyses revealed that Li{sub 2}SiO{sub 3} powders were composed of uniform micrometric particles with a hollow spheremore »« less

Large-scale synthesis of ear-like Si{sub 3}N{sub 4} dendrites from SiO{sub 2}/Fe composites and Si powders

Journal Article Feng, Wang; Guoqiang, Jin; Yingyong, Wang - Materials Research Bulletin

Large-scale ear-like Si{sub 3}N{sub 4} dendrites were prepared by the reaction of SiO{sub 2}/Fe composites and Si powders in N{sub 2} atmosphere. The product was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The results reveal that the product mainly consists of ear-like Si{sub 3}N{sub 4} dendrites with crystal structures, which have a length of several microns and a diameter of 100-200 nm. Nanosized ladder-like Si{sub 3}N{sub 4} was also obtained when changing the Fe content in the SiO{sub 2}/Fe composites. The Si{sub 3}N{sub 4} nanoladders have a length of hundreds nanometers to several micronsmore »« less

Summary of research on the effect of LiNO{sub 3} on alkali-silica reaction in new concrete

Journal Article Feng, X; Thomas, M; Bremner, T; ... - Cement and Concrete Research

This paper summarizes findings from a research study conducted at the University of New Brunswick in collaboration with the University of Texas at Austin, and CANMET-MTL, on the effect of LiNO{sub 3} on ASR in new concrete. The studies included expansion testing, silica dissolution measurements and microstructural examinations of cement systems containing glass and two different reactive aggregates (NB and NS). Only a small proportion of the data are presented here for the purpose of highlighting the principal findings of this investigation. Based on these findings, it is proposed that the inhibiting effect of LiNO{sub 3} against ASR in newmore »« less

High-temperature synthesis of highly hydrothermal stable mesoporous silica and Fe-SiO{sub 2} using ionic liquid as a template

Journal Article Liu, Hong; Wang, Mengyang; Hu, Hongjiu; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Mesoporous silicas and Fe-SiO{sub 2} with worm-like structures have been synthesized using a room temperature ionic liquid, 1-hexadecane-3-methylimidazolium bromide, as a template at a high aging temperature (150-190 {sup o}C) with the assistance of NaF. The hydrothermal stability of mesoporous silica was effectively improved by increasing the aging temperature and adding NaF to the synthesis gel. High hydrothermally stable mesoporous silica was obtained after being aged at 190 {sup o}C in the presence of NaF, which endured the hydrothermal treatment in boiling water at least for 10 d or steam treatment at 600 {sup o}C for 6 h.

Surfactant-assisted hydrothermal crystallization of nanostructured lithium metasilicate (Li{sub 2}SiO{sub 3}) hollow spheres: II-Textural analysis and CO{sub 2}-H{sub 2}O sorption evaluation

Journal Article Ortiz-Landeros, Jose; Gomez-Yanez, Carlos; Pfeiffer, Heriberto - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

In a previous work, the synthesis and structural-microstructural characterization of different nanocrystalline lithium metasilicate (Li{sub 2}SiO{sub 3}) samples were performed. Then, in this work, initially, a textural analysis was performed over the same samples. Li{sub 2}SiO{sub 3} samples prepared with a non-ionic surfactant (TRITON X-114) presented the best textural properties. Therefore, this sample was selected to evaluate its water vapor (H{sub 2}O) and carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}) sorption properties. Sorption experiments were performed at low temperatures (30-80 deg. C) in presence of water vapor using N{sub 2} or CO{sub 2} as carrier gases. Results clearly evidenced that CO{sub 2} sorptionmore »« less
