Iron hydride in Earth's interior can be formed by the reaction between hydrous minerals and iron. Studying iron hydride enhances our knowledge of hydrogen transportation in Earth's interior. High-pressure experiments have shown that fcc FeHx is stable up to 165 GPa, and molecular dynamics simulations predict a superionic state under lower mantle conditions. This superionic state in fcc FeHx allows highly diffusive-like fluids with a comparable diffusion coefficient to exist, potentially creating a hydrogen reservoir in the outer core.
Iron hydride in Earth's interior can be formed by the reaction between hydrous minerals (water) and iron. Studying iron hydride improves our understanding of hydrogen transportation in Earth's interior. Our high-pressure experiments found that face-centered cubic (fcc) FeHx (x < 1) is stable up to 165 GPa, and our ab initio molecular dynamics simulations predicted that fcc FeHx transforms to a superionic state under lower mantle conditions. In the superionic state, H-ions in fcc FeH become highly diffusive-like fluids with a high diffusion coefficient of-3.7 x 10-4 cm2s �1, which is comparable to that in the liquid Fe-H phase. The densities and melting temperatures of fcc FeHx were systematically calculated. Similar to superionic ice, the extra entropy of diffusive H-ions increases the melting temperature of fcc FeH. The wide stability field of fcc FeH enables hydrogen transport into the outer core to create a potential hydrogen reservoir in Earth's interior, leaving oxygen-rich patches (ORP) above the core mantle boundary (CMB). & COPY; 2023 Science China Press.
