Lithium sulfate quenched from the high-temperature melt using conventional quenching as well as rapid quenching techniques has been investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), vibrational spectroscopy techniques, and electrical conductivity measurements. Crystal structure of the quenched samples studied using X-ray diffraction shows a less orderedβ-Li2SO4phase. This is accompanied by a decrease in phase transition temperature in DSC measurements along with a decrease in the molar enthalpy associated with the transition. Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy studies reveal the disorder in the quenched samples by a significant broadening of the bands associated with the fundamental vibrational modes of SO42−ion. Temperature variation of conductivity shows an enhancement in ionic conductivity by one order of magnitude with a slight decrease in phase transition point for quenched samples over unquenched Li2SO4.
