Introduction to Materials Chemistry

Definition of “materials”
Substance having properties which make them useful in
machinery structures, devices and products.

Definition of “materials chemistry”

The study of the relationships between the arrangement of
atoms, ions, or molecules comprising a material, and its overall
bulk structural/physical properties. (Structure ↔ Property)

By this designation, common disciplines such as polymer,

solid-state, and surface chemistry would all be placed within
the scope of materials chemistry.

Metals and Alloys
The aluminum alloy used in the
production of beverage cans contains
manganese and is highly hardenable.
This means that when worked (or
hammered!), the aluminum becomes
harder or 'more resistant' to further
deformation.

 Shape-memory Alloy (SMA)
An alloy that “remembers” its original, cold-forged (低溫鍛造)
shape: returning the pre-deformed shape by heating.

History
The first reported steps towards the discovery of the shape-
memory effect were taken in the 1930s. A. Ö lander discovered
the pseudoelastic behavior of the Au-Cd alloy in 1932.

 Piezoelectricity
Piezoelectricity is the charge that accumulates in certain
solid materials in response to applied mechanical stress.
In other words, it means electricity resulting from pressure.

 Aerogel (氣凝膠或空氣膠)
Aerogel is a synthetic porous material derived from a gel, in which
the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with a gas.

Aerogel was first created by Samuel Stephens Kistler in 1931, as a

result of a bet with Charles Learned over who could replace the
liquid in "jellies" with gas without causing shrinkage.

 Silica aerogel, the lightest solid

• The world's lowest-density solid is a silica

aerogel (the latest and lightest versions of
this substance have a density 1 mg/cm³,
1/1000 as dense as water).

34
 World’s lightest metal (microlattice of Ni-P alloy)

In October 2016, HRL Laboratories was given the Guinness World Record for lightest
metallic structure. With a density (0.9 mg/cm³) that is 1/100 that of Styrofoam), HRL’s
material is a series of thin, hollow tubes made of a nickel-phosphorus alloy arranged in a
network called a microlattice. HRL constructs the airy microlattice by building a solid
plastic frame, bathing that plastic in a solution of nickel sulfate and sodium hypophosphite
for a few minutes to produce a thin alloy coating, and then dissolving the plastic with a
strong base, leaving only the hollowed-out metal structure. Compared with other light
materials, the microlattice stays intact when compressed, which means it can be used to
make things that need to be light yet strong, such as airplane wings and helmets.

36
 Applications of Aerogel

Aerogel has extremely low thermal conductivity (0.03 W/(m·K)),

which gives it remarkable insulative properties. Its melting point is
1200 °C.
37
 Thermoelectric materials
The thermoelectric effect refers to phenomena by which
either a temperature difference creates an electric potential
or an electric potential creates a temperature difference.

38
 History and How Thermoelectric Works?
These phenomena are known more
specifically as the Seebeck effect
(converting temperature to current),
Peltier effect (converting current to
temperature).

The Seebeck effect is used in the thermoelectric generator.

The Peltier effect can be used to create a refrigerator which is
compact and has no circulating fluid.
(note: boiling point is liquid He is 4.222 K. How to reach T < 4.222 K?)

A thermocouple is a device consisting of two different conductors

(usually metal alloys) that produce a voltage, proportional to a
temperature difference, between either ends of the two conductors.

by converting solar radiation into direct current electricity
using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect.

44
Conventional Silicon Solar Cells

In terms of power conversion efficiency (a ratio of light

energy in to electrical energy out) for silicon cells is in the
range of 20–25%.

Because silicon doesn’t absorb sunlight strongly (indirect

band gap), silicon cells contain a relatively thick layer of
silicon, which is brittle and therefore must be supported
on a rigid, heavy piece of glass, adding cost and limiting
applications.

ability to produce the

47
DSSCs can be sandwiched between panes of glass, turning
windows into electricity generators
One hot application is building-integrated photovoltaics. The idea is that
solar panels can be built into various parts of a building’s shell, not just the
rooftop, which is the preferred spot for silicon panels because they work
best in direct sunlight. DSSC panels, however, work well in diffuse light.
For that reason, thin sheets of translucent DSSCs can be sandwiched
between panes of glass, turning ordinary windows, skylights, and glass
facades into electricity generators.

48
 From Lab to Commercial Applications

One shortcoming of early designs is that the liquid electrolyte, typically an

organic solution of the iodide/triiodide (I–/I3–) redox couple, is corrosive,
volatile, and prone to leaking.

Seeking to improve the design, Northwestern University researchers replaced

the liquid electrolyte with a novel semiconducting inorganic solid: fluorine-
doped cesium tin iodide (CsSnI2.95F0.05).

49
 Organic Solar Cells
Maximum certified efficiency: 11.5% Conjugated polymer

fullerene

Light shining on an organic solar cell passes through transparent layers and stimulates
electron-hole pairs (e–/h+) in a photoactive layer (enlarged area is a bulk heterojunction). Upon
reaching an interface between a conductive polymer (pink, electron donor) and a fullerene
(yellow, electron acceptor), the pair splits. Positive charges hop via nanosized polymer
domains to one electrode, and negative charges migrate through the fullerene to the other one,
thereby generating electric current. 50
 Flexibility of Organic Photovoltaic Panels

Unfurl this thin, flexible organic

photovoltaic panel and charge your
phone or battery indoors or out, then
roll it back up for storage.

These thin organic solar-cell panels can be

integrated into cement and metal portions,
not just glass, of a building facade.
51
Quantum Dot Photovoltaics
Maximum certified efficiency: 11.3%

Light shining through the transparent electrode of a quantum dot solar cell onto
a photosensitive layer of dots leads to the formation of electron-hole pairs (e–/h+).
The charged particles separate and travel to their respective electrodes, thereby
producing electric current.

A major feature of perovskite solar cells is that they can be printed. At Panasonic, we have
developed a proprietary inkjet printer for printing perovskite solar cells. This has enabled the
manufacture of solar cells with customizable sizes and designs. They can even be
semitransparent. 56

Will the artificial leaf sprout to combat climate change?
Renewable sources of electricity will help us reduce climate-changing
carbon dioxide emissions, but our society will also need renewable fuels.
To find a renewable way to produce such fuels, some scientists have
developed technologies that use sunlight to split water to make molecular
hydrogen or reduce CO2 into hydrocarbons. These technologies face
significant engineering challenges to produce fuels efficiently and
economically.

C&EN, 2016, 94 (46), 32–38.
Turning sunlight into fuel

Light absorbed by semiconductors in the interior of the electrode causes charges to

separate. A catalyst on one side eases production of oxygen; on the other side, hydrogen
ions combine to generate hydrogen fuel. A thin layer of titanium dioxide protects the
electrode from being corroded by the electrolyte.

carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions and produce acetic acid. This is in turn fed to
engineered E. coli that can convert the acetic acid into valuable chemicals and fuels. 65

In 2011, Ryoji Kanno of Tokyo Institute of

Technology, Yuki Kato of Toyota’s Battery
Research Division, and coworkers reacted Li2S,
GeS2, and P2S5 at high temperature. The team
reported that the product, Li10GeP2S12, or LGPS,
exhibited a Li-ion conductivity value of 12 mS
(millisiemens) per cm at 27 °C, the highest
conductivity value measured for a solid
electrolyte as of that date.

 Best Ionic Conductor Based on Oxides
Li7La3Zr2O12 or c-LLZO
Substituting Ga3+ into this Li-La-Zr-oxide
(LLZO) compound stabilizes its cubic
structure. This material features Li-ion
vacancies and a low energy threshold for Li
ions to jump from site to site, making it a
good Li-ion conductor. LaO8 polyhedra are
blue; ZrO6 octahedra are green; the three
lattice positions occupied by Li+ are red,
orange, and yellow.

The garnet-type compound known as cubic Li7La3Zr2O12 or c-LLZO is thermally

and chemically stable—unlike sulfides; it does not require a controlled
environment for processing and has no sulfur so it cannot emit toxic hydrogen
sulfide. And it’s electrochemically inert over a wider voltage range than common
liquid electrolytes. In contrast to sulfide electrolytes, c-LLZO tends to exhibit a
maximum room temperature ionic conductivity of just 1–2 mS/cm, which is
relatively low but far greater than that of other oxides.

Nanospheres of the ceramic

Na3Zr2(PO4)(SiO4)2 serves as the
solid electrolyte. Two ultrathin
polymer layers are added to avoid
dendrites.

Sodium-ion batteries are a promising low-cost alternative for Lithium-ion

batteries, because lithium is neither cheap nor plentiful, making Li-ion
batteries impractical for larger applications, such as storing wind and solar
power on a large scale.

A major issue of sodium batteries is its low energy density of 100 Wh/kg,
while lithium batteries have energy densities over 180 Wh/kg, and low
operating voltage.

defined discharge voltage plateaus
near 2 volts, a specific capacity of
about 70 mA h g–1 and a Coulombic
efficiency of approximately 98 per
cent. The cathode was found to enable
fast anion diffusion and intercalation,
affording charging times of around
one minute with a current density of
~4,000 mA g–1 (equivalent to
~3,000 W kg–1), and to withstand
more than 7,500 cycles without
