The decomposition of LiAlD4 studied by in-situ X-ray and neutron diffraction
Creators
Description
The decomposition of LiAlD4 was studied by thermal desorption spectroscopy and neutron and synchrotron X-ray in-situ diffraction. The first two reaction stages (3LiAlD4=Li3AlD6+2Al+3D2 and Li3AlD6=3LiD+Al+((3)/(2))D2) were confirmed. No other intermediate phases were observed. Both reactions are very heat-rate dependent. The lowest temperature measured for complete reactions were 112 and 127 deg. C, respectively. Based on refinements of the unit-cell dimensions, neither LiAlD4 nor Li3AlD6 lose any D2 prior to their thermal decompositions
