Water-in-salt electrolytes have attracted considerable interest in the past decade for advanced lithium-ion batteries, possessing important advantages over the non-aqueous electrolytes currently in use. A battery with a LiTFSI-water electrolyte was demonstrated in which an operating window of 3 V is made possible by a solid-electrolyte interface. Viscosity is an important property for such electrolytes, because high viscosity is normally associated with low ionic conductivity. Here, we investigate shear and longitudinal viscosities using shear stress and compressional longitudinal stress measurements as functions of frequency and concentration. We find that both viscosities are frequency-dependent and exhibit almost identical frequency and concentration dependences in the high-concentration region. A comparison to quasielastic neutron scattering experiments suggests that both are governed by structural relaxation of the TFSI- network. Thus, LiFTSI-water electrolytes appear to be an unusual case of a non-Newtonian fluid, where shear and longitudinal viscosities are determined by the same relaxation mechanism.

To examine the conventional idea that the gauche conformation of the OCCO dihedral angle promotes the dissolution of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in water through strong hydration, the thermodynamic properties of liquid mixtures of PEG and water were studied by means of polymer reference interaction site model (PRISM) theory. The intramolecular correlation functions required as input for PRISM theory were calculated by the generator matrix method, accompanied by changes in the distribution of dihedral angles. In the infinite dilution limit, the increased probability of gauche conformation of the OCCO dihedral angles stabilizes the hydration of PEG through enhanced hydrogen bonding between the ether oxygen of PEG and water. The mixing Gibbs energies of the liquid mixtures were also calculated in the whole concentration range based on the Gibbs-Duhem equation, as per our recent proposal. A liquid-liquid phase separation was observed when all the dihedral angles of PEG were in the trans conformation; for the liquid mixture to be miscible in the whole concentration range, the introduction of the OCCO gauche conformation was found to be indispensable. The above theoretical results support the conventional idea that the OCCO gauche conformation is important for the high miscibility of PEG and water.

A theoretical method for calculating the thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria of a binary liquid mixture using the reference interaction-site model (RISM) integral equation theory, which we had proposed recently, was extended to ternary liquid systems containing salt. A novel dielectric correction of the RISM theory for a mixture of solvents was also proposed. The theory was applied to mixtures composed of water, alcohol, and NaCl, where the alcohol was either methanol or ethanol. The decrease in NaCl solubility with increasing alcohol molar fractions in the solvent was calculated. In the ethanol system, the theory yielded salt-induced liquid-liquid phase separation, which was observed experimentally in a ternary mixture of water, 1-propanol, and NaCl. The phase diagram of the ternary system was determined theoretically.

A theoretical method for calculating the thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria of liquid-liquid mixtures using the integral equation theory is proposed. The solvation chemical potentials of the two components are evaluated by the integral equation theory and the isothermal-isobaric variation of the total density with composition is determined to satisfy the Gibbs-Duhem relation. Given the density of a pure component, the method can calculate the densities of the mixture at any composition. Furthermore, it can treat the phase equilibrium without thermodynamic inconsistency with respect to the Gibbs-Duhem relation. This method was combined with the reference interaction-site model integral equation theory and applied to mixtures of water + 1-alcohol by changing the alcohol from methanol to 1-butanol. The destabilization of the mixing Gibbs energy by increasing the hydrophobicity of the alcohol and demixing of the water-butanol mixture were reproduced. However, quantitative agreement with experiments is not satisfactory, and further improvements of the integral equation theory and the molecular models are required.

An experimental method is proposed to determine the frequency-dependent complex shear viscosity of liquids based on the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation method. An AT-cut quartz transducer without metal electrodes is immersed in a sample liquid and the transducer is electrically coupled to the circuit through the dielectric response of the sample itself. After correcting for the apparent change in the resonance properties due to the dielectric coupling of the sample, our method is able to determine the viscosity of liquids of high polarity and low viscosity at frequencies as high as 3 GHz. The method was then applied to ethylene glycol and the viscoelastic relaxation in the GHz regime was observed. Furthermore, it was also applied to room-temperature ionic liquids to show that the dielectric correction of the resonance properties is valid for conductive liquids.

Molecular dynamics simulation on some molecular liquids was performed to study sound dispersion on the molecular scale. The sound velocity was determined from the intermediate scattering function, and the relation between the longitudinal modulus and frequency was compared with the frequency-dependent longitudinal modulus in the q = 0 limit evaluated by the Kubo-Green theory. The sound dispersion of a monoatomic liquid up to qσ ≅ 2 was almost quantitatively explained by the viscoelasticity in the q = 0 limit when the wavenumber dependence of the heat capacity ratio was taken into account. The situation was similar for a polyatomic molecular liquid for which the intramolecular degrees of freedom were fixed. For a polyatomic liquid with intramolecular degrees of freedom, the sound dispersion on the molecular scale was connected to the high-frequency limit of the ultrasonic relaxation mode assigned to the vibrational energy relaxation. After subtracting the contribution of the vibrational energy relaxation, both the longitudinal viscoelasticity and the sound dispersion depended little on the presence of intramolecular degrees of freedom.

The three-dimensional reference interaction-site model self-consistent field (3D-RISM-SCF) theory is an electronic structure theory of solvated molecules, which can handle the electronic polarization of the solute molecule induced by the interaction with the solvent, whereas the electronic polarization of solvent molecules is ignored. Here, the solvent-polarizable model is implemented to take into account the electronic polarization of solvent molecules. It is applied to the water molecule in an aqueous solution and the p-nitroaniline molecule in an aqueous solution, and the effects of the solvent polarization on the properties of these solutes are demonstrated.

The volume viscosity of ethanol-water mixtures at various compositions was calculated by means of equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, and the results were compared with acoustic experiments. The volume viscosity exhibited a strong maximum around the ethanol mole fraction of 0.27, which is in agreement with experiments. The relaxation in the 100 ps regime, which had been revealed by ultrasonic spectroscopy, was also reproduced. Analysis of the two-body density and the adiabatic pressure fluctuation demonstrated that the large volume viscosity of the mixture originates from the long-range concentration fluctuation.

Coupling between Translational Diffusion of a Solute and Dynamicsof the Heterogeneous Structure: Higher Alcohols and Ionic Liquids 査読有り

Translational diffusion of nonpolar monoatomic solutes in a room-temperature ionic liquid and 1-octanol was studied by molecular dynamics simulation. The diffusion coefficient was evaluated in two different ways: (1) from the mean-square displacement of a freely diffusing solute and (2) from the time correlation function of force acting on a fixed solute. The diffusion of the free solute is much greater than the prediction of the Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation when the size of the solute is small, as has been reported by many experimental works. In contrast, the friction on fixed small solutes follows the SE relation. The mechanism of the solute diffusion in both solvents was then analyzed based on the coupling between the translational motion of the solute and the collective dynamics of the heterogeneous intermediate-range structure characteristic to these solvents. Analysis revealed that the coupling is present in all systems, but the relaxation is fast in the cases of free and small solutes. This suggests that the coupling can relax through the motion of the solute when the solute is free and small, while the relaxation of the heterogeneous structure itself is required for large or fixed solutes. The difference in the relaxation dynamics of the friction on the solute and the shear viscosity is explained as the coupling with different dynamic modes of the solvent. Therefore, the validity of the SE relation may not be a good criterion to judge whether the mechanisms of the diffusion and the viscosity are the same or not.

Decoupling between Solvent Viscosity and Diffusion of a Small Solute Induced by Self-Motion 査読有り

The self-diffusion of a monatomic solute in liquid 1-octanol and n-tetradecane was investigated by means of a molecular dynamics simulation. The diffusion coefficient of a solute as small as argon is much greater than that obtained from the hydrodynamic-based Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation, as was reported experimentally. A relaxation of the memory function of a freely diffusing solute is much faster than that of the autocorrelation function of a shear stress. However, the SE behavior is recovered when the solute is spatially fixed, and the diffusion coefficient is calculated from the force-force autocorrelation function. A relaxation of the autocorrelation function of the force also follows that of shear stress. The fast diffusion of a small solute is thus ascribed to the decoupling between the structural relaxation of solvent and the solute diffusion induced by the self-motion of the solute.

We calculated the energy required for regeneration when the phase separation solvent solvent is applied to the treatment of exhaust gas from coal-fired power plants. This solvent is characterized by regeneration at a low temperature of less than 100°C. As a result, it was clarified that under ideal conditions with no pressure drop and no heat loss, the required energy could be suppressed to 1.5 GJ/ton-CO2 by satisfying the following conditions; i) pinch point of the heat exchanger between rich-amine and lean-amine: 1 °C, ii) water concentration of the solvent: kept at 10 wt%, iii) COP of the heat pump: 5.5. However, increase of the pinch point, increase of the water concentration, and decrease of the COP will all result in a significant increase in the required energy. Therefore, in order to realize a process with low energy consumption, it is essential to meet these design constraints.

Durability and fire hazard risk evaluation were conducted to determine the process feasibility on the unique phase separation solvent with low regeneration temperature (90 °C), consisting of amine, ether, and small amount of water. The results we obtained are as follows; I) The amine degradation rate of the phase separation solvent would be less than 1/10 of that of monoethanolamine (MEA), which was contributed by its high oxidative resistant nature and low regeneration temperature. II) The gas composition formed in the absorber was completely out of combustible range and almost no accumulations of explosive compounds such as peroxides were observed when in contact with 6 % oxygen containing gas (dry base). Therefore, we believe that the phase separation solvent is applicable to the treatment of exhaust gas from coal-fired thermal power plants.

Degradation Test for Energy-Saving CO<inf>2</inf> Absorbent based on Phase Separation Type Solvent by Aqueous (Amine + Ether) Solution

The unique phase separation type amine/ether absorbent is expected to realize the CO2 separation process with low-energy consumption (1.5GJ/ton-CO2). In this study, a degradation test of the absorbent under thermal load of liquid regeneration was conducted in order to clarify 1) the behavior of its performance declination for CO2 capture and 2) the behavior of amine loss mainly caused by generation of by-product. The regeneration condition was chosen based on two assumptions that a) most likely to damage to the solution, which means high-oxidation atmosphere containing oxygen and sulfur oxide, and b) adopting actual operating temperature when absorbing or desorbing. As a result, only a small amount of the CO2 capture capability was lost through 48 hours cyclic thermal load of 50-90 °C. Consequently, it was found that the phase separation type solvent could be durable enough for the practical use. Besides, the running cost associated with make-up amine might be drastically reduced.

We have developed the phase separation solvent for CO2 capture. Our developed solvent consists amine, organic solvent and water and shows single liquid phase before CO2 absorption though it shows two liquid phases after CO2 absorption. Feature of phase separation solvent is reducing temperature difference between absorber and stripper. We apply the heat pump system for CO2 separation and evaluate the energy consumption. Low temperature swing process saves energy requirement for CO2 capture process with highly-effective reaction-heat recovering. To evaluate the CO2 capture system with our solvent, screening test for amine and organic solvent combination and CO2 solubility measurement were examined. In the phase separation test, three types of solvents were obtained by combining amine and ether, that is, no phase separation with CO2 scrubbing, phase separation with CO2 scrubbing, and thoroughly immiscible. The phase behaviour depends on the hydrophobicity of amines or organic solvents, and the types of solvents were classified using the hydrophobic parameter.

An efficient sampling method for protein structure using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and a three-dimensional reference interaction-site model (3D-RISM) theory has been developed based on the hybrid Monte Carlo framework. In this method, new structures are generated by MD simulation with the generalized Born implicit solvent model and the Metropolis-like criterion to accept or reject the structure candidate is applied based on the free energy corresponding to the 3D-RISM Hamiltonian at each specified time propagation interval. The resulting ensemble of structures satisfies the 3D-RISM Hamiltonian-based equilibrium distribution. The method was applied to alanine dipeptide and methionine-enkephalin polypeptides in aqueous solution as test cases. The results demonstrated the efficiency of the method.

The effect of angular momentum on single-chain conformation in an implicit solvent model was investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. The distribution of the end-to-end distance depends on whether the angular momentum of the entire molecule is fixed or thermalized, and these two distributions can be transformed from the one to the other through the reweighting method. In addition, depending on the thermostat, the thermalization of the angular momentum becomes insufficient even if no constraint is imposed on the angular momentum, resulting in the distortion of the distribution of chain conformation. These results suggest the importance of the choice of thermostat that enables the thermalization of the angular momentum.

Durability and fire hazard risk evaluations were conducted to determine the process feasibility of a unique phase separation solvent with a low regeneration temperature (90 °C) consisting of an amine, ether, and a small amount of water. The results are as follows. I) The amine degradation rate of the phase separation solvent was determined to be less than 1/10 of that of monoethanolamine, which was attributed to the high oxidative resistance and low regeneration temperature of the former. II) The composition of the gas that formed in the absorber was completely out of the combustible range during the treatment of 6% oxygen-containing gas on a dry basis. Therefore, we believe that this phase separation solvent is applicable to the treatment of exhaust gas from coal-fired thermal power plants and can realize stable operation with a small amount of amine required for replenishment.

Fluctuation in diethylene glycol diethyl ether/water mixtures near the lower critical solution temperature studied by small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering and thermodynamic calculation 査読有り

We studied local structure of diethylene glycol diethyl ether (DEGDEE)-water mixtures near the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) by means of simultaneous small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering measurement and thermodynamic calculation based on the activity coefficient model. Long-wavelength limits of structure factors SNN(0), SCC(0), and SNC(0), which respectively represent mean square fluctuations in the particle number, the concentration, and their cross correlation, are determined from scattering intensity extrapolated to the zero scattering vector and thermodynamic quantities according to the Bhatia and Thornton formula. SNN(0) and SCC(0) exhibit maxima near critical concentration. We found that difference between partial molar volumes of water and DEGDEE essentially results in SNN(0) values being one order of magnitude larger than SCC(0) values. Further, we determined Kirkwood-Buff (KB) integrals to clarify a mixing state of the solution from a mesoscopic point of view. The KB integrals also exhibit extrema near critical concentration. These results demonstrate self-segregations of both DEGDEE and water in a nanometer length scale even at homogeneous solution states, which can be regarded as a precursor of the macroscopic phase separation. Concentration dependence of the wide-angle scattering curve suggests that the short-range structure, whose length scale is sub-nanometer, moderately changes between the intrinsic bulk structures of DEGDEE and water. Comparison of the KB integrals with those determined by the activity coefficient model using non-random two-liquid equation is presented and effects of the fluctuation on the phase behavior are discussed.

The position-dependent diffusion coefficient along with free energy profile are important parameters needed to study mass transport in heterogeneous systems such as biological and polymer membranes, and molecular dynamics (MD) calculation is a popular tool to obtain them. Among many methodologies, the Marrink–Berendsen (MB) method is often employed to calculate the position-dependent diffusion coefficient, in which the autocorrelation function of the force on a fixed molecule is related to the friction on the molecule. However, the diffusion coefficient is shown to be affected by the period of the removal of the center-of-mass velocity, (Formula presented.), which is necessary when performing MD calculations using the Ewald method for Coulombic interaction. We have clarified theoretically in this study how this operation affects the diffusion coefficient calculated by the MB method, and the theoretical predictions are proven by MD calculations. Therefore, we succeeded in providing guidance on how to select an appropriate (Formula presented.) value in estimating the position-dependent diffusion coefficient by the MB method. This guideline is applicable also to the Woolf–Roux method.

Viscosity and density of amine absorbents affect directly their flow, which is involved in the process design and simulation of carbon dioxide capture. A mixture of 2-(ethyl amino) ethanol (EAE), diethylene glycol diethyl ether (DEGDEE), and water changes its phase from homogeneous to two-liquid ones on CO2 absorption. It is difficult to calculate the viscosity and density of this phase separation solution, especially those of quaternary-component phases. In this research, models to calculate the density and viscosity of the quaternary-component system of EAE/DEGDEE/water/carbamate were suggested based on nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL)-DVOL and NRTL-DVIS models. Given the component concentrations, these models can replicate well the viscosity and density of the solutions. A good calculation result with a few numbers of parameters makes the models simple and easy to use.

Phase separation solvents for CO2 absorption have been designed which transform into two liquid phases after CO2 absorption. We studied seven types of amines and one type of ether-mixed solvents and observed that there are three types of phase phenomena, namely, no phase separation, phase separation with CO2 scrubbing, and initially immiscible. We also observed that these types can be classified using the hydrophobicity of the amine. The solubility of CO2 was measured in the phase separation solvent. In the lower-pressure region, the solvent formed a single liquid phase. When the amount of CO2 in solution reached a separation point, the solvent separated into two liquid phases.
