Abstract

Polyhydroborate-based salts of lithium and sodium have attracted much recent interest as promising solid-state electrolytes for energy-related applications. A member of this family, sodium dicarba-nido-undecahydroborate Na-7,9-C2B9H12 exhibits superionic conductivity above its order-disorder phase transition temperature, ∼360 K. To investigate the dynamics of the anions and cations in this compound at the microscopic level, we have measured the 1H and 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and spin-lattice relaxation rates over the temperature range of 148–384 K. It has been found that the transition from the low-T ordered to the high-T disordered phase is accompanied by an abrupt, several-orders-of-magnitude acceleration of both the reorientational jump rate of the complex anions and the diffusive jump rate of Na+ cations. These results support the idea that reorientations of large [C2B9H12] anions can facilitate cation diffusion and, thus, the ionic conductivity. The apparent activation energies for anion reorientations obtained from the 1H spin-lattice relaxation data are 314 meV for the ordered phase and 272 meV for the disordered phase. The activation energies for Na+ diffusive jumps derived from the 23Na spin-lattice relaxation data are 350 and 268 meV for the ordered and disordered phases, respectively.
