Review on transition metals containing lithium borate glasses properties, applications and perspectives
Source abstract
Abstract
In this article, the transition metals effect on different properties of lithium borate glasses is reviewed. These glasses are useful for medical and energy storage, nonlinear optics and conversion devices. In the first part of this article, the basic properties of glasses are summarized, followed by variations in different lithium borate glass composition having various transition metal oxide and their effects on the characteristics of glass formed. In the last part, the conclusion and future perspectives are given and discussed the role of lithium oxide in glass compositions. The presence of higher valence levels of transition metals in glass decreases the overall conductivity of the glasses because of localized effects because of their higher charges and masses. On the other hand, mechanical properties are improved with transition metal oxides in the glass composition. Lower levels of lithium oxide in borate glass cause structural units to change from triangular to tetrahedral units without producing non-bridging oxygens in the glasses that enhance thermal and mechanical stability of the glasses. It could be related to the glass network connectivity and localized higher interaction among different charge carriers.
