Tritium release behavior of ceramic breeder candidates for fusion reactors

Role of energetic tritium chemistry on developing thermonuclear fusion reactors

“…eventually conversed to the T + species at the temperature region of 500-600 K. It was also found that the intensity of F + -center, which is oxygen vacancy occupied by one electron was annihilated in the same temperature region. In addition, almost tritium in Li 2 O was not released below 600 K [2]. These results would indicate that these conversions for chemical states of tritium were associated with the dynamics of irradiation defects like F + -center in thermal annealing process.…”

Lithium metasilicate and lithium disilicate nanomaterials: optical properties and density functional theory calculations

“…In particular, the crystalline lithium silicates are present as important phases in silicate glass ceramics [2] and are of research interest because of their technological applications in areas such as CO 2 captures [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], lithium battery cathode materials [13], fast ion conductors [14], optical waveguides [15], and tritium breeding materials [16,17].…”

Low Temperature Synthesis of Li2SiO3: Effect on Its Morphological and Textural Properties

“…Thus, for example, there has been research in recent years on their application as electronic devices, as CO 2 captors and as breeder materials for nuclear fusion reactors, in addition to other more well-known applications such as in batteries and in low thermal expansion glassceramics used in ceramic hobs [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Among these ceramics, lithium silicates (Li 2 SiO 3 and Li 4 SiO 4 ) seem to present very good properties as materials in nuclear research as tritium ( 3 T) breeding materials and as materials to absorb carbon dioxide [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”
