Polyhydride

Last updated

A polyhydride or superhydride is a compound that contains an abnormally large amount of hydrogen. This can be described as high hydrogen stoichiometry. Examples include iron pentahydride FeH5, LiH6, and LiH7. By contrast, the more well known lithium hydride only has one hydrogen atom. [1]

Contents

Polyhydrides are only known to be stable under high pressure. [1]

Polyhydrides are important because they can form substances with a very high density of hydrogen. They may resemble the elusive metallic hydrogen, but can be made under lower pressures. One possibility is that they could be superconductors. Hydrogen sulfide under high pressures forms SH3 units, and can be a superconductor at 203 K (−70 °C) and a pressure of 1.5 million atmospheres. [1]

The polyhydrides of alkaline earth and alkali metals contain cage structures. Also hydrogen may be clustered into H, H3, or H2 units. Polyhydrides of transition metals may have the hydrogen atoms arranged around the metal atom. Computations suggest that increasing hydrogen levels will reduce the dimensionality of the metal arrangement, so that layers form separated by hydrogen sheets. [1] The H3 substructure is linear. [2]

H+3 would form triangular structures in the hypothetical H5Cl. [2]

Compounds

When sodium hydride is compressed with hydrogen, NaH3 and NaH7 form. These are formed at 30 GPa and 2,100 K. [2]

Heating and compressing a metal with ammonia borane avoids using bulky hydrogen, and produces boron nitride as a decomposition product in addition to the polyhydride. [3]

Predicted

Using computational chemistry many other polyhydrides are predicted, including LiH8, [24] LiH9, [25] LiH10, [25] CsH3, [26] KH5, RbH5, [27] RbH9, [24] NaH9, BaH6, [27] CaH6, [28] MgH4, MgH12, MgH16, [29] SrH4, [30] SrH10, SrH12, [24] ScH4, ScH6, ScH8, [31] YH4 and YH6, [32] YH24, LaH8, LaH10, [33] YH9, LaH11, CeH8, CeH9, CeH10, [34] PrH8, PrH9, [35] ThH6, ThH7 and ThH10, [36] U2H13, UH7, UH8, UH9, [23] AlH5, [37] GaH5, InH5, [24] SnH8, SnH12, SnH14, [38] PbH8, [39] SiH8 (subsequently discovered), [24] GeH8, [40] (although Ge3H11 may be stable instead) [41] AsH8, SbH4, [42] BiH4, BiH5, BiH6, [43] H3Se, [44] H3S, [45] Te2H5, TeH4, [46] PoH4, PoH6, [24] H2F, H3F, [24] H2Cl, H3Cl, H5Cl, H7Cl, [47] H2Br, H3Br, H4Br, H5Br, H5I, [24] XeH2, XeH4. [48]

Among the transition elements, VH8 in a C2/m structure around 200 GPa is predicted to have a superconducting transition temperature of 71.4 K. VH5 in a P63/mmm space group has a lower transition temperature. [49]

Properties

Superconduction

Under suitably high pressures polyhydrides may become superconducting. Characteristics of substances that are predicted to have high superconducting temperatures are a high phonon frequency, which will happen for light elements, and strong bonds. Hydrogen is the lightest and so will have the highest frequency of vibration. Even changing the isotope to deuterium will lower the frequency and lower the transition temperature. Compounds with more hydrogen will resemble the predicted metallic hydrogen. However, superconductors also tend to be substances with high symmetry and also need the electrons not to be locked into molecular subunits, and require large numbers of electrons in states near the Fermi level. There should also be electron-phonon coupling which happens when the electric properties are tied to the mechanical position of the hydrogen atoms. [35] [50] [51] The highest superconduction critical temperatures are predicted to be in groups 3 and 3 of the periodic table. Late transitions elements, heavy lanthanides or actinides have extra d- or f-electrons that interfere with superconductivity. [52]

For example, lithium hexahydride is predicted to lose all electrical resistance below 38 K at a pressure of 150 GPa. The hypothetical LiH8 has a predicted superconducting transition temperature at 31 K at 200 GPa. [53] MgH6 is predicted to have a Tc of 400 K around 300 GPa. [54] CaH6 could have a Tc of 260 K at 120 GPa. PH3 doped H3S is also predicted to have a transition temperature above the 203 K measured for H3S (contaminated with solid sulfur). [55] Rare earth and actinide polyhydrides may also have highish transition temperatures, for example, ThH10 with Tc = 241 K. [36] UH8, which can be decompressed to room temperature without decomposition, is predicted to have a transition temperature of 193 K. [36] AcH10, if it could be ever made, is predicted to superconduct at temperatures over 204 K, and AcH10 would be similarly conducting under lower pressures (150 GPa). [56]

H3Se actually is a van der Waals solid with formula 2H2Se·H2 with a measured Tc of 105 K under a pressure of 135 GPa. [11]

Ternary superhydrides

Ternary superhydrides open up the possibility of many more formulas. [57] For example, Li2MgH16 may also be superconducting at high temperatures (200 °C). [58] A compound of lanthanum, boron and hydrogen is speculated to be a "hot" superconductor (550 K). [59] [60] Elements may substitute for others and so modify the properties eg (La,Y)H6 and (La,Y)H10 can be made to have a slightly higher critical temperature than YH6 or LaH10. [61]

Superconductivity is a set of physical properties observed in superconductors: materials where electrical resistance vanishes and magnetic fields are expelled from the material. Unlike an ordinary metallic conductor, whose resistance decreases gradually as its temperature is lowered, even down to near absolute zero, a superconductor has a characteristic critical temperature below which the resistance drops abruptly to zero. An electric current through a loop of superconducting wire can persist indefinitely with no power source.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">High-temperature superconductivity</span> Superconductive behavior at temperatures much higher than absolute zero

High-temperature superconductivity is superconductivity in materials with a critical temperature above 77 K, the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. They are only "high-temperature" relative to previously known superconductors, which function at colder temperatures, close to absolute zero. The "high temperatures" are still far below ambient, and therefore require cooling. The first breakthrough of high-temperature superconductor was discovered in 1986 by IBM researchers Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Müller. Although the critical temperature is around 35.1 K, this new type of superconductor was readily modified by Ching-Wu Chu to make the first high-temperature superconductor with critical temperature 93 K. Bednorz and Müller were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1987 "for their important break-through in the discovery of superconductivity in ceramic materials". Most high-Tc materials are type-II superconductors.

A room-temperature superconductor is a hypothetical material capable of displaying superconductivity above 0 °C, operating temperatures which are commonly encountered in everyday settings.

Yttrium hydride is a compound of hydrogen and yttrium. It is considered to be a part of the class of rare-earth metal hydrides. It exists in several forms, the most common being a metallic compound with formula YH2. YH2 has a face-centred cubic structure, and is a metallic compound. Under great pressure, extra hydrogen can combine to yield an insulator with a hexagonal structure, with a formula close to YH3. Hexagonal YH3 has a band gap of 2.6 eV. Under pressure of 12 GPa YH3 transforms to an intermediate state, and when the pressure increases to 22 GPa another metallic face-centred cubic phase is formed.

Carbonaceous sulfur hydride (CSH) is a potential superconductor that was announced in October 2020 by the lab of Ranga Dias at the University of Rochester, in a Nature paper that was later retracted. It was reported to have a superconducting transition temperature of 15 °C (59 °F) at a pressure of 267 gigapascals (GPa), which would have made it the highest-temperature superconductor discovered. The paper faced criticism due to its non-standard data analysis calling into question its conclusions, and in September 2022 it was retracted by Nature. In July 2023 a second paper by the authors was retracted from Physical Review Letters due to suspected data fabrication, and in September 2023 a third paper by the authors about N-doped lutetium hydride was retracted from Nature.
