Tritium trapping and migration mechanisms in Li2O: a first-principles study
Literature Information

The tritium recovery behaviors and related mechanisms in lithium-based breeding materials are the major concerns in fusion reactors. In the present work, the energetics of intrinsic point defects and H-related defects in Li2O has been investigated by the first-principles method. The results show that the formation energies, charge states and relative stability of the intrinsic point defects and H-related defects in Li2O under working conditions vary with the energy level. Based on the defect properties and migration process, a model of the tritium trapping and migration mechanisms in Li2O is proposed: (1) the bred tritium is first trapped by oxygen vacancies; (2) subsequently the tritium detrapped from oxygen vacancies is retrapped by lithium vacancies, forming T substituents; and (3) the T substituents hop along the Li lattice.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
