Abstract
To improve the carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption performance of lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4), tablet-like Li4Si1−x Ti x O4 and Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 sorbents with loose and porous texture were prepared by a sol–gel process. The relationship between the Ti doping and volume expansion was studied for the first time. The results indicated that the Ti presence into the Li4SiO4 structure inhibited the growth of grains and abated the volume expansion. The X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy results showed that the loose and porous solid solutions with similar phase crystallite but different grain sizes could obtain by heat treatment of precursor at 700 °C. The optimum Ti content of Li4Si1−x Ti x O4 seems to be 0.04 of Li4Si0.96Ti0.04O4. And the CO2 capture behaviors of Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 were better than Li4Si0.96Ti0.04O4.

Introduction
It is no secret that the world is getting warmer thanks to carbon dioxide (CO2), a key anthropogenic greenhouse gas [1]. Hence, CO2 capture technologies have aroused extensive researches. Hitherto, a number of ways have been developed to decrease CO2 emissions, for example, wet absorption, dry adsorption, membrane separation, and cryogenic separation. However, these technologies are costly and ineffective since they operate at low temperature [2], i.e., the high-temperature exhaust gas needs a cooling process before removing CO2, which not only adds input but decreases efficiency. Therefore, high-temperature CO2 absorbents such as hydrotalcites, calcium oxides, and lithium-containing ceramics, have been considered as alternative adsorbents. Among the various solid sorbents, lithium-containing materials, e.g., Li2ZrO3, Li4SiO4, Li2CuO2, Li5AlO4, Li2SiO3, Li6Zr2O7, and Li8SiO6 are suggested to be potential materials [3–6]. In addition, Li2ZrO3 and Li4SiO4 can theoretically adsorb CO2 in amounts up to 28.7 and 36.7 wt% at high temperature, respectively. Furthermore, the CO2 adsorption by Li4SiO4 is much faster (about 30 times) than Li2ZrO3. Besides, Li4SiO4 are lighter and cheaper than Li2ZrO3 [7–10]. Consequently, Li4SiO4 is suggested to be the most promising solid sorbent at high temperature.
Several researches on the kinetic and sorption mechanism of Li4SiO4 have been reported [11–13]. A double-shell mechanism and Avrami–Erofeev kinetic model were proposed to describe the sorption process [3]. Figure 1 shows the double-shell structure for the CO2 sorption on Li4SiO4. According to the model and mechanism, the sorption process is not only controlled by the chemisorption but Li+ and O2− diffusion. Hence, the whole process can be split into two stages: the rapid reaction and diffusion control. The rapid stage is the reaction of CO2 molecules and Li4SiO4 to form solid Li2CO3 and Li2SiO3 nuclei on the surface (Fig. 1b). The diffusion control stage is the diffusion of Li+ and O2− through the Li2SiO3 shell covering the unreacted Li4SiO4. Therefore, in order to improve the sorption properties, the uptake of rapid stage should be enlarged. Meanwhile, the diffusion resistance should be reduced. Carbonates (e.g., Na2CO3, K2CO3) have been studied as eutectic melts with the outside Li2CO3 shell, which can facilitate CO2 diffusion throughout the first shell [5, 8, 14]. Furthermore, doping hetero elements can enhance ion mobility and reduce diffusion resistance by forming point defects or secondary phases [8]. For example, Li4−x Na x SiO4 [5], Li3.7Al0.1SiO4, and Li3.7Fe0.1SiO4 [8], Li2−x Na x ZrO3 [15, 16], Li2−x K x ZrO3 [17], Na2(Zr1−x Al x )O3 [18], and Li4+x (Si1−x Al x )O4 [19] showed that even small quantity of a doping component can improve the sorption property [9]. And lithium silicate platelets synthesized by a sol–gel approach had been studied to enhance CO2 absorption kinetics [20]. Currently most researches focus on introducing Na or K to replace Li element for improving surface chemisorption sorption properties. And the Al, Fe, and V were studied to occupy Si atom [8, 21]. However, there are barely relevant investigations about the relationship of doping and volume expansion, which is extremely important for potential industry application.
As the Ti–O bond is stronger than the Si–O bond [22], the Li–O bond interaction is decreased in Li4SiO4 structure when the Si atom is replaced by Ti atom, and then the Li ion conductivity should be improved. Meanwhile, Mejía-Trejo reported that Na-doped Li4SiO4 increased the kinetic reaction of CO2 absorption [5]. Therefore, in this paper, Ti and Na elements were co-doped into Li4SiO4 to enhance the sorption properties. The relationship of doping and volume expansion of Li4SiO4 was studied. Additionally, the crystal structure, microstructure, sorption, and cyclability of the doped Li4SiO4 were investigated.
Materials and methods
Experiment
Li4Si1−x Ti x O4 (x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06) and Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 solid solutions were synthesized by sol–gel process. A flow chart of the process is shown in Fig. 2. Raw materials were lithium nitrate (LiNO3), tetrabutyl titanate (Ti(OC4H9)4), tetraethyl orthosilicate (Si(OC2H5)4), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), ethanol (CH3CH2OH), and citric acid (C6H8O7). All the chemicals were analytical reagent grade and purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. Firstly, solution of Ti(OC4H9)4 and CH3CH2OH was added dropwise into a stirring aqueous solution of LiNO3, C6H8O7, and CH3CH2OH. After the mixed solution became transparent, a solution of Si(OC2H5)4 and CH3CH2OH was mixed with the transparent solution, and then the solution was heated at 50 °C with continuously stirring for several hours till it became a yellowish dry gel. After that, the dry gel was ground and pressed into about 20 mm diametric tablet and calcined at 700 °C for 4 h.
Characterization techniques
Thermal behaviors of Li4SiO4 dry gel were examined by thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis (TG–DTA) instrument (STA409C NETZSCH, Germany) from room temperature to 800 °C with 10 °C/min under air for determining the sintering temperature. All samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD, D/Max-RB, RB Rigaku, Japan), and the cell parameters were refined by utilizing MDI Jade 5.0 software. The nitrogen adsorption measurements were carried out using Quadrasorb-18, Quantachrome, USA. The morphologies and particle size of the solid solutions were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, JSM-6480LVJEOL, Japan). CO2 absorption properties of Li4Si1−x Ti x O4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.06) and Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 were carried out by TG–DTA instrument (STA409C NETZSCH, Germany) under CO2 flux. Additionally, the cyclability of Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4, Li4Si0.96Ti0.04O4, and Li4SiO4 were measured at 650 °C under CO2 and N2 flux (for desorption).
Results and discussions
Characterization
To determine the sintering temperature, TG–DTA curves (Fig. 3) of the Li4SiO4 precursor were carried out in air. The curves indicated that the small endothermic peak at about 270 °C might be assigned to the removal of combined water, and two sharp exothermic peaks at about 380 °C and 650 °C could be due to the organics combustion and the Li4SiO4 phase formation, respectively. No additional endothermic or exothermic peaks and weight changes were detected above 700 °C, which suggested that the synthesis process had completely finished. Therefore, the Li4Si1−x Ti x O4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.06) and Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 dry gel precursor were heat treated at 700 °C for 4 h for further investigation.
After the series samples were synthesized, the samples were characterized by XRD (Fig. 4a). The x = 0 (Li4SiO4) diffraction pattern fitted very well to the JCPDS file 37–1472 (cell parameters: a = 5.297 Å, b = 6.101 Å, c = 5.150 Å, β = 90.251°), which manifested that the sol–gel precursor calcined at 700 °C for 4 h could obtain pure Li4SiO4 phase. In this experiment, once the Ti addition started, the intensity of diffraction peak weakened with the increase of Ti content. Meanwhile, the diffraction peaks shifted slightly toward lower angles. These effects indicated that titanium doping inhibited the crystallization of Li4SiO4. It might be attributed to the difference in ion radius of Si4+ (0.42 Å) and Ti4+ (0.68 Å) and the closed packed structure of the silicate [23, 24]. In Li4SiO4 structure, Si locates in tetrahedral site of oxygen. Hence, if the Ti replaced the Si, the cell parameters of doped Li4SiO4 would increase, while diffraction angle would decrease by the Bragg’s law (λ = 2dsinθ). Figure 4c showed that the cell parameters (a, b, c, and volume (v)) increased with x value, and the increasing rate of c was bigger than a and b. It implied that Ti might be incorporated into the crystal lattice. However, when the x value was 0.06, tiny amounts of Li2SiO3 peaks were detected. Although Li2SiO3 absorbs CO2 as well, the kinetic behavior of CO2 absorption on Li2SiO3 is much slower than that on Li4SiO4 [5, 22]. Li2SiO3 hardly adsorbed CO2 below 900 °C [25]. In this case, the doping limitation of Ti into Li4SiO4 should be 0.04, Li4Si0.96Ti0.04O4. Meanwhile, Mejía-Trejo reported that the solubility limit of sodium into Li4SiO4 is 0.1, Li3.9Na0.1SiO4 [5]. Hence, NaOH was doped into Li4SiO4. In this experiment, Li4SiO4 (main phase) and tiny Li3NaSiO4 phase were detected (Fig. 4a). We found that the diffraction peaks shifted toward higher angles, and cell parameters a and c decreased about 0.15 and 0.11 %, while the cell parameter b increased about 0.053 %. It indicated that the Na might be incorporated into the crystal lattice, and the difference in atomic radius of Li (2.05 Å) and Na (2.23 Å) might account for the result. In order to understand the sorption process, the samples after absorbing CO2 at 650 °C for 1 h were examined by XRD (Fig. 4b). Li2SiO3 and Li2CO3 peaks were found in all absorbed samples and their intensities were stronger with the increase of Ti content. It was ascribed to the fact that the samples absorbed CO2 to form Li2SiO3 and Li2CO3, and the reaction may be described as follows.
However, no Na2CO3 and Li2TiO3 peaks were identified in the XRD patterns as its abundance is beyond the XRD resolution.
The morphologies of the unabsorbed and absorbed samples are shown in Fig. 5. As observed in Fig. 5a, all the unabsorbed tablet samples had a loose and porous microstructure. Table 1 shows the surface area, pore size, and pore volume of Li4Si1−x Ti x O4. The surface area and total pore volume increased with x value, and the pore size decreased in some degree, indicating that the dopant would hinder the growth of grains. During sintering process, the combustion products (CO2 and H2O steam) of the dry gel precursor moving from the interior to the exterior could be responsible for the loose and porous texture. Knitter reported that Ti doping could enhance the strength of Li4SiO4 [22]. Hence, these ceramic pores might offer firm tunnel for CO2 carriage, which might be better than the tiny and unstable pores of powder adsorbent as the latter may be blocked up after few absorption cycles [18]. In addition, we found that the grain size decreased with Ti content increasing (Fig. 5a). The average size of grains abated from 3 μm (Li4SiO4) to 0.23 μm (Li4Si0.96Ti0.04O4). It seemed that Ti inhibited the growth of the particles, which is consistent with the results of Table 1. Some papers have reported that small particles have high surface area and better chemisorb efficiencies [10, 26, 27]. However, secondary phase was found in Li4Si0.96Ti0.06O4, and the EDS images (Fig. 5a(c)) show that the O/Si ratio of the polyhedral shape gray phase was higher (4.43) than the bright dendritic phase (2.93). It indicated that the gray phase and the secondary phase should be Li4SiO4 and Li2SiO3, respectively, which was also proved by XRD pattern (Fig. 4a). Figure 5b shows the microstructure of the absorbed samples. In all samples, white agglomerate particles covered the light dark phase, and it increased with the x value.
The CO2 absorbent expansivity α, α = (M − M 0)/M 0, where the M and M 0 are the radius (R, R 0), high (H, H 0) or volume (V, V 0) of absorbed and unabsorbed samples, respectively, is extremely important for industry application. In this experiment, we found that the absorption expansion ratio of Li4SiO4 was so big that a quartz crucible was cracked by its expansion force. Therefore, the relationship between doping and absorbent expansivity α was investigated for the first time. All samples performed at 650 °C under 160 ml/min CO2 and 200 ml/min N2 (desorption gas) for 10 cycles. As can be seen in Fig. 6, the α R, α H, and α V declined sharply as the Ti content increased, and when the x ≥ 0.04, the α almost reached its limitation. The α V of Li4SiO4 was about 22 %, while the Li4Si0.96Ti0.04O4 was only about 5.6 %, which almost decreased four times. The stable Ti–O bond can be responsible for these results. Therefore, Ti-doped Li4SiO4 could decrease the expansivity.
Investigation of general sorption behavior
The enthalpy changes (ΔH), entropy changes (ΔS), and free energy changes (ΔG) of Li4SiO4 absorption reaction were calculated using HSC chemistry 5.11 software (Table 2). Under 720 °C, all ΔG values are <0, revealing that Li4SiO4 can absorb CO2 from room temperature to 720 °C. Figure 7 illustrates the CO2 sorption behaviors of synthesized samples. All the samples appeared to display similar absorption behaviors. The weight increased slowly from around 200 °C and sharply at about 500 °C. And then it reached a peak at about 650 °C, while over 730 °C the absorption process almost finished. However, around 400 °C, a lightly weight loss was detected. Meanwhile, the weight increased with the x value except x = 0.06. To further understand the absorption process, all the samples were tested at 200, 300, 400, 500, 550, and 650 °C under 160 ml/min CO2 for 3 h (Fig. 8).
As can be seen in Fig. 8, all the weight increased with the x value and temperature except at 400 °C. At relative low temperature (200–400 °C), the increase in tendency showed a linear trend, however, over 500 °C, it increased sharply in a short time to a plateau. These results indicated that the absorption process had two different principles, i.e., initially, at relative low temperature, the CO2 chemisorption occurred over the absorbent surface forming an external shell, which resisted the Li+, O2−, and CO2 diffusion and hindered the further reaction [12]. Nevertheless, at high temperature, the chemisorption can be reactivated as the Li+, O2−, and CO2 obtained sufficient driving force throughout the bulk of the external shell [5]. However, at 400 °C, the weight was more minor than at 300 °C. Similar behaviors have been reported on Li4−x (Si1−x Al x )O4 and Na2(Zr1−x Al x )O3 at 400 and 300 °C, respectively [18, 21], which further provided evidence for a superficial chemisorption–desorption equilibrium. Therefore, the superficial desorption process does not seem to be modified by the Ti doping. However, it improved the absorption performance. At 300 °C, the weight increased from 7.3 wt% (x = 0) to 8.6 wt% (x = 0.06). Continuous decreasing grain size caused by Ti doping (Fig. 5a) may account for the changes.
Figure 9 shows Li4Si1−x Ti x O4 and Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 absorption performance at 650 °C. As can be seen, Li4Si0.96Ti0.04O4 and Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 showed a significant improvement on the absorption. It was up to 20.1, 30.4, and 31.6 wt% for Li4SiO4, Li4Si0.96Ti0.04O4, and Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4, respectively. For Li4−x (Si1−x Al x )O4 series, a slight decline was found when x = 0.06. The decrement should be attributed to the presence of secondary phase Li2SiO3 (Fig. 4a) which is not as good as Li4SiO4 in terms of CO2 absorption kinetic behavior [13, 26]. And the augment of Li4−x (Si1−x Ti x )O4 series may be due to the enhancement of Li+ diffusion and the decrease of grain size by doping Ti. For Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4, the Ti and Na incorporated into the crystal lattice should be responsible for the augment as they could enhance Li+ and O2− diffusion by forming lattice distortion (Fig. 4c), dislocations, interstitial atoms, and vacancies. Meanwhile, we found that the chemisorption time at 650 °C, exponential curves reached their plateaus, decreased with x value increasing (15 min, Li4Si0.96Ti0.04O4) since the grain size diminished (Fig. 5a).
In order to evaluate the regeneration properties and the thermal stability, Li4SiO4, Li4Si0.96Ti0.04O4, and Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 were exposed to CO2 (160 mL/min) for 1 h and then to N2 (200 mL/min) for 40 min at 650 °C (Fig. 10). The results indicated that the chemisorption capacity increased with the increasing of cycle numbers. For Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4, the chemisorption capacity reached 32.5 wt% for the first cycle, and after 10 cycles it stabilized at 33.1 wt%. In contrast, for Li4SiO4 and Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4, the chemisorption, after 10 cycles, stabilized to 29.2 and 32.6 wt%. Therefore, Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 had better regeneration properties due to Na and Ti co-doping. However, in the first two and three cycles, a slightly decrement was detected. A particle sintering effect may account for these changes as it decreased the surface area [18]. Meanwhile, we found that the saturate time slightly decreased with cycle numbers. These behaviors may be related to the decreased grains as the chemisorption produced tiny agglomerate lithium-containing oxide particles (Fig. 5b).
It is worth mentioning that all the samples for absorption performance testes were in the form of pills. Hence, the loose and porous Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 pills prepared by sol–gel process could be used as a high-temperature CO2 absorbent.
Conclusions
Tablet-like Li4Si1−x Ti x O4 and Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 sorbents were prepared by a sol–gel process. The analysis performed by XRD suggests that Ti and Na are incorporated to the Li4SiO4 structure, and the solubility limit of Ti was 0.04, Li4Si0.96Ti0.04O4. The SEM analysis indicated that the Ti doping not just decreased the grain sizes but abated the volume expansion of pure Li4SiO4. Li4Si1−x Ti x O4 and Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 were able to chemisorb CO2 from 200 to 700 °C, exhibiting higher CO2 absorption performance than pure Li4SiO4. The isothermal analyses suggested that the absorption process had two principles: (1) the chemisorption occurred over the absorbent surface forming an external shell at low temperature phase (200–400 °C), (2) the chemisorption controlled by Li+, O2−, and CO2 diffusion processes. The absorption capacities of Li4SiO4 at 650 °C, 30.4 and 31.6 wt% for Li4Si0.96Ti0.04O4 and Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4, respectively, were improved by Ti doping and Na and Ti co-doping. The augments could be attributed to that Ti and Na incorporated into the crystal lattice and enhanced Li+ and O2− diffusion. The cyclic experiments indicated that Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 exhibited better CO2 capture behaviors than Li4Si0.96Ti0.04O4.
