Abstract

Different Li 4SiO 4 solid solutions containing aluminum (Li 4+x(Si 1-xAl x)O 4) or vanadium (Li 4-x(Si 1-xV x)O 4) were prepared by solid state reactions. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance. Then, samples were tested as CO 2 captors. Characterization results show that both, aluminum and vanadium ions, occupy silicon sites into the Li 4SiO 4 lattice. Thus, the dissolution of aluminum is compensated by Li 1+ interstitials, while the dissolution of vanadium leads to lithium vacancies formation. Finally, the CO 2 capture evaluation shows that the aluminum presence into the Li 4SiO 4 structure highly improves the CO 2 chemisorption, and on the contrary, vanadium addition inhibits it. The differences observed between the CO 2 chemisorption processes are mainly correlated to the different lithium secondary phases produced in each case and their corresponding diffusion properties.
