(119)Sn MAS NMR and first-principles calculations for the investigation of disorder in stannate pyrochlores

The local structure and cation disorder in Y(2)Ti(2-x)Sn(x)O(7) pyrochlores, materials proposed for the encapsulation of lanthanide- and actinide-bearing radioactive waste, is studied using (119)Sn (I = 1/2) NMR spectroscopy. NMR provides an excellent probe of disorder, as it is sensitive to the atomic scale environment without the need for any long-range periodicity. However, the complex and overlapping spectral resonances that often result can be difficult to interpret. Here, we demonstrate how (119)Sn DFT calculations can be used to aid the spectral interpretation and assignment, confirming that Sn occupies only the six-coordinate pyrochlore B site, and that the Sn chemical shift is sensitive to the number of Sn/Ti on the neighbouring B sites. Although distinct resonances are resolved experimentally when the Ti content is low, there is significant spectral overlap for Ti-rich compositions. We establish that this is a result of two competing contributions to the Sn chemical shift; an upfield shift resulting from the incorporation of the more polarizing Ti(4+) cation onto the neighbouring B sites, and a concomitant downfield shift arising from the decrease in unit cell size. Despite the considerably easier spectral acquisition, the lower resolution in the (119)Sn spectra hinders the extraction of the detailed structural information previously obtained using (89)Y NMR. However, the spectra we obtain are consistent with a random distribution of Sn/Ti on the pyrochlore B sites. Finally, we consider whether an equilibrium structure has been achieved by investigating materials that have been annealed for different durations.     

Solid-state NMR study of the anionic conductor Ca-doped Y(2)Ti(2)O(7)

Doping the pyrochlore (Y(2)Ti(2)O(7)) with the Ca(2+) has been reported to improve the oxygen ionic conductivity. (17)O and (89)Y solid-state NMR has been used in work reported here to probe the local environment of the oxygen and yttrium sites in these materials. Although the conductivity of these materials is only moderate, variable-temperature, one-dimensional (17)O NMR experiments and two-dimensional (17)O magnetization exchange spectroscopy show that oxygen-ion jumps occur between the oxygen sites nearby titanium. Motion at ambient temperatures involves the O1 and local environments created by the Ca(2+) doping; motion does not involve the O2 oxygen site coordinated to four yttrium ions.     

The Relationship between NMR Chemical Shifts of Thermally Polarized and Hyperpolarized 89Y Complexes and Their Solution Structures

Recently developed dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) technology offers the potential of increasing the NMR sensitivity of even rare nuclei for biological imaging applications. Hyperpolarized ⁸⁹Y is an ideal candidate because of its narrow NMR linewidth, favorable spin quantum number (I= ), and long longitudinal relaxation times (T₁). Strong NMR signals were detected in hyperpolarized ⁸⁹Y samples of a variety of yttrium complexes. A dataset of ⁸⁹Y NMR data composed of 23 complexes with polyaminocarboxylate ligands was obtained using hyperpolarized ⁸⁹Y measurements or ¹H,⁸⁹Y‐HMQC spectroscopy. These data were used to derive an empirical equation that describes the correlation between the ⁸⁹Y chemical shift and the chemical structure of the complexes. This empirical correlation serves as a guide for the design of ⁸⁹Y sensors. Relativistic (DKH2) DFT calculations were found to predict the experimental ⁸⁹Y chemical shifts to a rather good accuracy.     

Probing Cation and Vacancy Ordering in the Dry and Hydrated Yttrium-Substituted BaSnO(3) Perovskite by NMR Spectroscopy and First Principles Calculations: Implications for Proton Mobility

Hydrated BaSn(1-x)Y(x)O(3-x/2) is a protonic conductor that, unlike many other related perovskites, shows high conductivity even at high substitution levels. A joint multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and density functional theory (total energy and GIPAW NMR calculations) investigation of BaSn(1-x)Y(x)O(3-x/2) (0.10 ≤ x ≤ 0.50) was performed to investigate cation ordering and the location of the oxygen vacancies in the dry material. The DFT energetics show that Y doping on the Sn site is favored over doping on the Ba site. The (119)Sn chemical shifts are sensitive to the number of neighboring Sn and Y cations, an experimental observation that is supported by the GIPAW calculations and that allows clustering to be monitored: Y substitution on the Sn sublattice is close to random up to x = 0.20, while at higher substitution levels, Y-O-Y linkages are avoided, leading, at x = 0.50, to strict Y-O-Sn alternation of B-site cations. These results are confirmed by the absence of a "Y-O-Y" (17)O resonance and supported by the (17)O NMR shift calculations. Although resonances due to six-coordinate Y cations were observed by (89)Y NMR, the agreement between the experimental and calculated shifts was poor. Five-coordinate Sn and Y sites (i.e., sites next to the vacancy) were observed by (119)Sn and (89)Y NMR, respectively, these sites disappearing on hydration. More five-coordinated Sn than five-coordinated Y sites are seen, even at x = 0.50, which is ascribed to the presence of residual Sn-O-Sn defects in the cation-ordered material and their ability to accommodate O vacancies. High-temperature (119)Sn NMR reveals that the O ions are mobile above 400 °C, oxygen mobility being required to hydrate these materials. The high protonic mobility, even in the high Y-content materials, is ascribed to the Y-O-Sn cation ordering, which prevents proton trapping on the more basic Y-O-Y sites.     

Unravelling the Mystery of Solid Solutions: A Case Study of 89Y Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy

Incorporating heteroatoms in functional materials is an invaluable approach to modulate their properties, assuming a solid solution is formed. However, thorough understanding of key structural information on the resulting solid solution, such as the local environment of cations and vacancies, remains a challenge. Solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectroscopy is a powerful structural characterization tool, very sensitive to the local environment. Due to the difficulty in signal acquisition and spectral interpretation, SSNMR spectroscopy is relatively less known to chemists and materials scientists. Herein, we present an introductory review to demonstrate how to use ⁸⁹Y SS NMR spectroscopy to unravel the mystery of solid solutions. In general, ⁸⁹Y chemical shift varies with different cation/vacancy arrangements in Y coordination spheres, providing ultrafine structural information in the atomic scale. As a case study and an extreme condition, the approach demonstrated in this review can be extended to other systems.     

Effect of Li2O Addition on the Preparation of (Y2‐yLiy)Ti2O7‐y

A new series of (Y_2‐yLi_y)Ti₂O_7‐y having an ordered pyrochlore phase was prepared by a solid state reaction method with a solid solution range of 0.05 ≥ y ≥ 0.10. Unit cell parameters obtained by the Rietveld refinement method shows that the a‐axis decreases linearly with increasing the amount of Li ion addition, indicating the successful incorporation of the Li ion into unit cell. The average x‐fractional coordinate of the O(1) site depends on the ionic radius ratio of r(A³+)/r(Ti⁴⁺) in the A₂Ti₂O₇ with a pyrochlore phase. The Ti K‐edge XANES spectra of the (Y_2‐yLi_y)Ti₂O_7‐y show that the valence of the Ti ions is slightly less than 4 so that Ti is in the mixed valence state. Average particle size increases with increasing the amount of extra Li ion addition, which acts as a flux to lower the melting point of the materials.     

Photocatalytic activity of R3MO7 and R2Ti2O7 (R=Y, Gd, La; M=Nb, Ta) for water splitting into H2 and O2

The photocatalytic activities of R3MO7 and R2Ti2O7 (R=Y, Gd, La; M=Nb, Ta) strongly depended on the crystal structure. Overall, photocatalytic water splitting into H2 and O2 proceeded over La3TaO7 and La3NbO7, which have an orthorhombic weberite structure, Y2Ti2O7 and Gd2Ti2O7, which have a cubic pyrochlore structure, and La2Ti2O7, which has a monoclinic perovskite structure. All of these materials are composed of a network of corner-shared octahedral units of metal cations (TaO6, NbO6, or TiO6); materials without such a network were inactive. The octahedral network certainly increased the mobility of electrons and holes, thereby enhancing photocatalytic activity.     

The cation-deficient Ruddlesden-Popper oxysulfide Y2Ti2O5S2 as a layered sulfide: topotactic potassium intercalation to form KY2Ti2O5S2

Potassium intercalation into the cation-deficient n = 2 Ruddlesden-Popper oxysulfide Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2) to form KY(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2) has been carried out by reaction of the oxysulfide with potassium vapor in sealed metal tubes at 400 degrees C, potassium naphthalide in THF at 50 degrees C, or potassium in liquid ammonia at temperatures as low as -78 degrees C. Insertion of potassium is topotactic, and although a site 12-coordinate by oxide ions is vacant in the perovskite-type oxide slabs of the structure, potassium is too large to enter this site via the 4-coordinate window, and instead enters the rock-salt-type sulfide layers of the structure which necessitates a 30% increase in the lattice parameter c normal to the layers. In contrast with one of the sodium intercalates of Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2) (beta-NaY(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2)) in which sodium occupies a tetrahedral site in the sulfide layers, potassium favors an 8-coordinate site which necessitates a relative translation of adjacent oxide slabs. KY(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2) is tetragonal: P4/mmm, a = 3.71563(4) A, c = 14.8682(2) A (at 298 K), Z = 1. Although the resistivity (3.4(1) x 10(3) Omega cm) is larger than would be expected for a metal, temperature independent paramagnetism dominates the magnetic susceptibility, and the material is electronically very similar to the analogous sodium intercalate beta-NaY(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2) which features reduced-titanium-containing oxide layers of very similar geometry and electron count.     

Electronically driven structural distortions in lithium intercalates of the n = 2 Ruddlesden-Popper-type host Y2Ti2O5S2: synthesis, structure, and properties of LixY2Ti2O5S2 (0 < x < 2)

Lithium intercalation into the oxide slabs of the cation-deficient n = 2 Ruddlesden-Popper oxysulfide Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2) to produce Li(x)Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2) (0 < x < 2) is described. Neutron powder diffraction measurements reveal that at low levels of lithium intercalation into Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2), the tetragonal symmetry of the host is retained: Li(0.30(5))Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2), I4/mmm, a = 3.80002(2) A, c = 22.6396(2) A, Z = 2. The lithium ion occupies a site coordinated by four oxide ions in an approximately square planar geometry in the perovskite-like oxide slabs of the structure. At higher levels of lithium intercalation, the symmetry of the cell is lowered to orthorhombic: Li(0.99(5))Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2), Immm, a = 3.82697(3) A, b = 3.91378(3) A, c = 22.2718(2) A, Z = 2, with ordering of Li(+) ions over two inequivalent sites. At still higher levels of lithium intercalation, tetragonal symmetry is regained: Li(1.52(5))Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2), I4/mmm, a = 3.91443(4) A, c = 22.0669(3) A, Z = 2. A phase gap exists close to the transition from the tetragonal to orthorhombic structures (0.6 < x < 0.8). The changes in symmetry of the system with electron count may be considered analogous to a cooperative electronically driven Jahn-Teller type distortion. Magnetic susceptibility and resistivity measurements are consistent with metallic properties for x > 1, and the two-phase region is identified as coincident with an insulator to metal transition.

烧绿石结构Y2-xMgxRu2O7-δ(x=0.05、0.1、0.15)的制备及其OER催化活性

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备系列的镁掺杂Y2-xMgxRu2O7-δ(YMRO?x,x=0.05、0.1、0.15)催化剂,通过X射线光电子能谱对其进行价态分析发现,采用小离子半径的Mg^2+取代烧绿石结构中处于A位的部分Y^3+,进一步增加了烧绿石结构中氧缺陷数量,也引发了部分Ru^4+转变为Ru^5+,释放电子到表面,促进了氧析出反应(OER)。其中YMRO?0.1催化剂的含氧缺陷浓度最高,其催化活性最高。在达到10 mA·cm^-2电流密度时,相比于RuO2(358 mV)、Y2Ru2O7-δ(294 mV),YMRO?0.1仅需施加265 mV过电位并且其Tafel斜率相对于RuO2(88 mV·dec^-1)和Y2Ru2O7-δ(64 mV·dec^-1)仅为45 mV·dec^-1。此外,由于氧空位增多,即活性位点增多,降低了自由基从金属位点脱附的吉布斯自由能,促进了OER催化性能。第一性原理表明,替位原子MgY与氧空位形成复合体,可以降低氧空位形成能,同时随着Mg^2+引入,带隙变小,电荷迁移能也随之变小,进而可以得到更高的催化活性。     

Effect of structure and thermodynamic stability on the response of lanthanide stannate pyrochlores to ion beam irradiation

The lanthanide stannates, Ln2Sn2O7, Ln=La-Lu and Y, have the isometric pyrochlore structure, A2B2O7, and their structural properties have been refined by Rietveld analysis of powder neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction data. In this study, the enthalpies of formation of selected stannate pyrochlores, Ln=La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Dy, and Yb, were measured by high-temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry. Their radiation response was determined by 1 MeV Kr2+ ion irradiation combined with in situ TEM observation over the temperature range of 25 to 1000 K. The enthalpy of formation from binary oxides of stannate pyrochlores became more endothermic (from -145 to -40 kJ/mol) as the size of the lanthanide in the A-site decreases. A more exothermic trend of the enthalpy of formation was observed in stannate pyrochlores with larger lanthanide ions, particularly La, possibly as a result of increased covalency in the Sn-O bond. In contrast to lanthanide titanate pyrochlores, Ln2Ti2O7, that are generally susceptible to radiation-induced amorphization and zirconate pyrochlores, Ln2Zr2O7, that are generally resistant to radiation-induced amorphization, the lanthanide stannate pyrochlores show a much greater variation in their response to ion irradiation. La, Nd, and Gd stannates experience the radiation-induced transformation to the aperiodic state, and the critical amorphization temperatures are approximately 960, 700, and 350 K, respectively. Y and Er stannate pyrochlores cannot be amorphized by ion beam irradiation, even at 25 K, and instead disorder to a defect fluorite structure. Comparison of the calorimetric and ion irradiation data for titanate, zirconate, and stannate pyrochlores reveals a strong correlation among subtle changes in crystal structure with changing composition, the energetics of the disordering process, and the temperature above which the material can no longer be amorphized. In summary, as the structure approaches the ideal, ordered pyrochlore structure, radiation-induced amorphization is more easily attained. This is consistent with an increasingly exothermic trend in the enthalpies of formation of pyrochlores from the oxides, that is, the greater the thermochemical stability of the pyrochlore structure, the more likely it will be amorphized upon radiation damage rather than recover to a disordered fluorite structure.     

Ternary magnesium rhodium boride Mg2Rh1-xB6+2x with a modified Y2ReB6-type crystal structure

The new ternary magnesium rhodium boride Mg2Rh1-xB6+2x has been prepared by the reaction of the mixture of Mg powder, RhB, and crystalline boron in a Ta container sealed under argon. The crystal structure of Mg2Rh0.75(1)B6.50(4) is determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, and high-resolution electron microscopy (space group Pbam, a=8.795(2) A, b=11.060(2) A, c=3.5279(5) A, Z=4, 630 reflections, RF=0.045). It represents a modified Y2ReB6 structure type with an unusual replacement of part of the Rh atoms by boron pairs located in the pentagonal channels parallel to the c axis. The pairs interconnect the neighboring planar boron nets into the 3D framework. The variation of the lattice parameters reveals a homogeneity range Mg2Rh1-xB6+2x. The random distribution of the Rh atoms and boron pairs and the stabilizing effect of the boron pairs on the Y2ReB6 type structure motif are discussed using electronic band structure calculations and chemical bonding analysis with the electron localization function (ELF).     

Structure, bonding, and phase relations in Bi2Sn2O7 and Bi2Ti2O7 pyrochlores: new insights from high pressure and high temperature studies

One of the key points of interest in pyrochlore materials containing bismuth derives from the dielectric properties of some such materials that are linked to the displacements of the bismuth atoms from the ideal site. This study uses high pressure to probe the variations in, and causes of, these displacements. Under compression Bi(2)Ti(2)O(7) does not undergo any phase changes, but Bi(2)Sn(2)O(7) undergoes a similar series of changes to those observed during heating. The trigonal β-Bi(2)Sn(2)O(7) structure is solved from high temperature powder neutron diffraction data and hence the sequence of phases observed in Bi(2)Sn(2)O(7) is discussed for the first time. The variation in Bi displacements can be considered in terms of the frustration of the tetrahedral lattice that accommodates them. It can also be inferred that the main driver for Bi displacement is a deficiency in the bond valence sum of bismuth.     

SnO2基固溶体用于甲烷深度氧化：X射线衍射外推法测定 SnO2晶格容量

CH4和 CO是两种主要的温室效应气体和空气污染物,催化氧化是最有效的消除 CH4和 CO的方法.研发不含贵金属的金属氧化物催化剂或者减少催化剂中贵金属用量为该领域研究热点. SnO2是一种重要的宽禁带 n型半导体材料,广泛应用于气敏器件、锂离子电池以及光电设备. SnO2表面富含活泼的缺位氧且具有良好的热稳定性,因此其在催化方面的性能近年来逐渐受到人们关注.在过去的5年中,本团队深入研究了 SnO2材料在空气污染治理和绿色能源生产等领域的应用及其催化性质.发现通过其它阳离子如 Fe3+, Cr3+, Ta5+, Ce4+和Nb5+等的掺杂,替换晶格中部分 Sn4+,形成金红石型 SnO2固溶体结构,显著提高了催化剂氧物种的流动性、活性和催化剂本身的热稳定性.固溶体材料是一类重要的催化剂,受到广泛关注.一个典型的例子是铈锆固溶体,其作为储氧材料已广泛应用于汽车尾气净化器.形成固溶体结构后,氧化铈的储氧能力和热稳定性得到显著提高.为有效形成固溶体,两个阳离子需要具有相似的离子半径和电负性.以往,人们基于结构中金属阳离子和氧阴离子的离子半径提出了容忍因子的判别方法,以此来判断固溶体是否能有效形成及所生成固溶体的稳定性.我们在前期工作中,以 Sn-Nb固溶体为例,提出了简单的X射线衍射(XRD)外推法来计算固溶体晶格容量,即形成稳定固溶体时客体阳离子取代主体晶格阳离子的最大值.作为延续工作,本文采用共沉淀法制备了一系列 Sn/M (M = Mn, Zr, Ti, Pb)摩尔比为9/1的 SnO2基催化剂,并用于 CH4和 CO催化氧化.结果表明, Mn3+, Zr4+, Ti4+和 Pb4+均可以掺杂进四方金红石型 SnO2晶格中,形成稳定的固溶体结构.其中 Sn-Mn-O固溶体表现出最高活性.为了深入研究 Mn2O3在 SnO2中的晶格容量及最优催化剂配比,采用共沉淀法制备了一系列不同 Sn/Mn摩尔比的样品,采用 XRD, N2-BET, H2-TPR, SEM和XPS等手段对其物理化学性能进行了表征,并考察了对 CH4的催化氧化性能.通过 XRD外推法测定了 Mn3+离子在 SnO2中的晶格容量为0.135 g Mn2O3/g SnO2,相当于 Sn/Mn摩尔比为79/21.这表明形成稳定的固溶体后, SnO2晶格中最多只有21% Sn4+可以被 Mn3+替代;当 Mn3+含量超过晶格容量时,过量的 Mn3+在催化剂表面形成 Mn2O3,对催化剂活性不利.类似于 Sn-Nb-O固溶体,在 Sn-Mn-O催化剂体系中亦观察到明显的晶格容量效应.纯相的 Sn-Mn-O固溶体比含过量 Mn2O3晶相的 Sn-Mn-O催化剂具有更高活性.     

Sc2MgGa2 and Y2MgGa2

Scandium magnesium gallide, Sc₂MgGa₂, and yttrium magnesium gallide, Y₂MgGa₂, were synthesized from the corresponding elements by heating under an argon atmosphere in an induction furnace. These intermetallic compounds crystallize in the tetragonal Mo₂FeB₂‐type structure. All three crystallographically unique atoms occupy special positions and the site symmetries of (Sc/Y, Ga) and Mg are m2m and 4/m, respectively. The coordinations around Sc/Y, Mg and Ga are pentagonal (Sc/Y), tetragonal (Mg) and triangular (Ga) prisms, with four (Mg) or three (Ga) additional capping atoms leading to the coordination numbers [10], [8+4] and [6+3], respectively. The crystal structure of Sc₂MgGa₂ was determined from single‐crystal diffraction intensities and the isostructural Y₂MgGa₂ was identified from powder diffraction data.

Ternary Sn‐Ti‐O Electrocatalyst Boosts the Stability and Energy Efficiency of CO2 Reduction

Simultaneously improving energy efficiency (EE) and material stability in electrochemical CO₂ conversion remains an unsolved challenge. Among a series of ternary Sn‐Ti‐O electrocatalysts, 3D ordered mesoporous (3DOM) Sn_0.3Ti_0.7O₂ achieves a trade‐off between active‐site exposure and structural stability, demonstrating up to 71.5 % half‐cell EE over 200 hours, and a 94.5 % Faradaic efficiency for CO at an overpotential as low as 430 mV. DFT and X‐ray absorption fine structure analyses reveal an electron density reconfiguration in the Sn‐Ti‐O system. A downshift of the orbital band center of Sn and a charge depletion of Ti collectively facilitate the dissociative adsorption of the desired intermediate COOH* for CO formation. It is also beneficial in maintaining a local alkaline environment to suppress H₂ and formate formation, and in stabilizing oxygen atoms to prolong durability. These findings provide a new strategy in materials design for efficient CO₂ conversion and beyond.     

Soluble yttrium chalcogenides: syntheses,structures, and NMR properties of Y[eta 3-N(SPPh2)2]3 and Y[eta 2-N(SePPh2)2]2[eta 3-N(SePPh2)2

The compounds Y[N(QPPh2)2]3 (Q = S (1), Se (2)) have been synthesized in good yield from the protonolysis reactions between Y[N(SiMe3)2]3 and HN(QPPh2)2 in methylene chloride (CH2Cl2). The compounds are not isostructural. In 1, the Y atom is surrounded by three similar [N(SPPh2)2]- ligands bound eta 3 through two S atoms and an N atom. The molecule possesses D3 symmetry, as determined in the solid state by X-ray crystallography and in solution by 89Y and 31P NMR spectroscopies. In 2, the Y atom is surrounded again by three [N(SePPh2)2]- ligands, but two are bound eta 2 through the two Se atoms and the other ligand is bound eta 3 through the two Se atoms and an N atom. Although a fluxional process is detected in the 31P and 77Se NMR spectra, a triplet is found in the 89Y NMR spectrum of 2 (delta = 436 ppm relative to YCl3 in D2O, 2JY-P = 5 Hz). This implies that on average the conformation of one eta 3- and two eta 2-bound ligands is retained in solution. Crystallographic data for 1: C72H60N3P6S6Y, rhombohedral, R3c, a = 14.927(5) A, c = 56.047(13) A, V = 10815(6) A3, T = 153 K, Z = 6, and R1(F) = 0.042 for the 1451 reflections with I > 2 sigma(I).

Y沸石的酸性

用^29Si MAS NMR(MAS为Magie Angle Spinning), 统计计算,NH3-TPD 等方法对(NH4)2·SiF6去铝补硅得到的高硅Y型沸石的酸位分布情况进行了研究, 并与典型酸催化反应数据相关联, 证实了Y型沸石的酸位强度取决于A1原子的周围环境, 即与次邻位A1原子数目n-NNN(NNN为Next Nearst Neighbor)有关, 沸石的强酸性来自次邻位无A1原子的AIO^-4四面体。 NH3-TPD法测量的沸石酸量和酸强度数据与^29Si MAS NMR 实验结果和统计计算得到的不同n-NNN A1位的分布是一致的。 随着A1含量减少, Y型沸石表面的总酸量是单调下降的。但强酸量却是先增加后下降, 在A1/(A1+Si)为0.15左右出现极大值。不同硅铝比的Y型沸石对典型的强酸性和弱酸性催化反应的活性变化规律亦与酸性相吻合。
