High-pressure synthesis and local structure of corundum-type In(2-2x)Zn(x)Sn(x)O(3) (x ≤ 0.7)

The corundum-type In(2-2x)Zn(x)Sn(x)O(3) solid solution (cor-ZITO, x ≤ 0.7) was synthesized at 1000 °C under a high pressure of 70 kbar. cor-ZITO is a high-pressure polymorph of the transparent conducting oxide bixbyite-In(2-2x)Zn(x)Sn(x)O(3) (x ≤ 0.4). Analysis of the extended X-ray absorption fine structure suggests that significant face-sharing of Zn and Sn octahedra occurs, as expected for the corundum structure type. In contrast to the ideal corundum structure, however, Zn and Sn are displaced and form oxygen bonds with lengths that are similar to those observed in high-pressure ZnSnO(3). Powder X-ray diffraction patterns of cor-ZITO showed the expected unit cell contraction with increased cosubstitution, but no evidence for ilmenite-type ordering of the substituted Zn and Sn. A qualitative second harmonic generation measurement, for the solid solution x = 0.6 and using 1064 nm radiation, showed that Zn and Sn adopt a polar LiNbO(3)-type arrangement.     

Magnetic and high rate adsorption properties of porous Mn(1-x)Zn(x)Fe2O4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) adsorbents

Porous spinel ferrites Mn(1-x)Zn(x)Fe(2)O(4) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) are synthesized by a simple sol-gel method with egg white. All samples exhibit porous morphologies and large BET surface area (S(BET)). The substitution of Zn(2+) affects the magnetic properties of ferrites and the adsorption properties of methylene blue (MB) on ferrites, obviously. The saturation magnetization (Ms) of Mn(1-x)Zn(x)Fe(2)O(4) increases before x=0.4, and decreases with further increase of Zn(2+) substitution. This can be ascribed to the changes of the cationic distribution and the variation of spin arrangement in A-site and B-site of spinel structure. All samples show high adsorption capacity and the removal efficiencies of MB reach up to >90% within 3 h. The Zn(2+) substitution accelerates the adsorption rate and capacity of MB on Mn(1-x)Zn(x)Fe(2)O(4). The quickest adsorption occurred at x=0.2 and the largest adsorption capacity occurred at x=0.8.     

Glycolate Ti1 − x Fe x (OCH2CH2O)2 − x/2 as a precursor for the preparation of quasi-one-dimensional (1D) solid solutions Ti1 − x Fe x O2 − 2x/2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1)

Quasi-one-dimensional (1D) solid solutions Ti_{1 ? x} Fe _x (OCH₂CH₂O)_{2 ? x/2} (0 < x ≤ 0.1) with the structure of anatase were prepared by heating the glycolate Ti_{1 ? x} Fe _x (OCH₂CH₂O)_{2 ? x/2} in an atmosphere of air at a temperature of >450°C. The conditions of formation and the properties of the new glycolate Ti₃Fe₂(OCH₂CH₂O)₉ were described. It was found that the synthesized Ti_{1 ? x} Fe _x O_{2 ? 2x/2} solid solutions exhibit photocatalytic activity in the reaction of hydroquinone oxidation in an aqueous solution on irradiation with UV light. A correlation between the rate of oxidation of hydroquinone and the concentration of iron in the catalyst was established. A procedure for the preparation of titanium dioxide with the structure of anatase doped with iron and carbon (Ti_{1 ? x} Fe _x O_{(2 ? x/2) ? yCy)} and also composites on its basis, which contain an excess amount of carbon, was proposed.     

Phase Evolution and Magnetic Properties of Sn_(1-2x)Fe_xNb_xO_2(0.45≤x≤0.50)

Sn1-2xFexNbxO2(0.45≤x≤0.50) samples were prepared at 1000 ℃ via a simple chemical co-precipitation method.The effects of the concentrations of Sn doped on the structures and magnetic properties of the samples have been investigated.A systematic variation from monoclinic to orthorhombic FeNbO4 structure was observed with increasing Sn content.The phase evolutions were observed from monoclinic structure with x=0.50 to the coexistence of monoclinic and orthorhombic structures with x=0.48,0.47,0.46,and then to orthorhombic structure with x=0.45.Antiferromagnetic behavior was observed for all the samples,and the magnetic ordering temperatures decrease with increasing Sn concentration,which further indicated the sequence of phase transitions.The results suggest that the incorporation of Sn can stabilize the orthorhombic FeNbO4.     

Electrical conductivity and defect equilibria of Pr0.1Ce0.9O(2-δ)

Praseodymium-cerium oxide (PCO) solid solutions exhibit mixed ionic electronic conductivity (MIEC) behavior in a relatively high and readily accessible oxygen partial pressure (P(O(2))) regime and as such serve as a model system for investigating the correlation between thermodynamic and kinetic properties and performance figures of merit in the areas of high temperature energy conversion, automotive control, and gas sensing applications. In this paper, we present measurements on the non-stoichiometry of Pr(0.1)Ce(0.9)O(2-δ) and develop a defect equilibria model to predict the dependence of the concentration of all the dominant charge carriers on temperature, P(O(2)), and Pr fraction. The predictive model is then employed to describe the measured electrical conductivity and oxygen nonstoichiometry whereby pre-exponentials and enthalpies of defect formation and migration are extracted.     

Electronic conductivity of Ce0.9Gd0.1O(1.95-δ) and Ce0.8Pr0.2O(2-δ): Hebb-Wagner polarisation in the case of redox active dopants and interference

The electronic conductivity of Ce(0.9)Gd(0.1)O(1.95-δ) and Ce(0.8)Pr(0.2)O(2-δ) under suppressed ionic flow was measured as a function of pO(2) in the range from 10(3) atm to 10(-17) atm for temperatures between 600 °C and 900 °C by means of Hebb-Wagner polarisation. The steady state I-V curve of Ce(0.9)Gd(0.1)O(1.95-δ) could be well described by the standard Hebb-Wagner equation [M. H. Hebb, J. Chem. Phys., 1952, 20, 185; C. Wagner, Z. Elektrochem., 1956, 60, 4], yielding expressions for the n- and p-type conductivity as a function of pO(2). On the other hand, significant deviation of the steady state I-V curve from the standard Hebb-Wagner equation was observed for the case of Ce(0.8)Pr(0.2)O(2-δ). It is shown that the I-V curve can be successfully reproduced when the presence of the redox active dopant, Pr(3+)/Pr(4+), is taken into account, whereas even better agreement can be reached when further taking into account the interference between the ionic and electronic flows [C. Chatzichristodoulou, W.-S. Park, H.-S. Kim, P. V. Hendriksen and H.-I. Yoo, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2010, 12, 33]. Expressions are deduced for the small polaron mobilities in the Ce 4f and Pr 4f bands of Ce(0.8)Pr(0.2)O(2-δ).

Preparation of aqueous sols of Ce1 − x Gd x O2-δ, Y0.9Eu0.1VO4 and nanocomposites Ce1 − x Gd x O2-δ/Y0.9Eu0.1VO4 stabilized by polyacrylic acid

A method for the synthesis of stable aqueous sols of nanocrystalline solid solutions Ce_1?x Gd _x O_2-δ (x = 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) and Y_0.9Eu_0.1VO₄ and nanocomposites Ce_{1 ? x} Gd _x O_2-δ/Y_0.9Eu_0.1VO₄ stabilized by biocompatible low-molecular-weight polyacrylic acid was proposed. Polyacrylic acid was shown to be a promising matrix for the preparation of polyfunctional composite materials.     

Photocatalytic CO2 reduction by Cr-substituted Ba2(In2-xCrx)O5·(H2O)δ (0.04 ≤ x ≤ 0.60)

Cr-substituted polycrystalline Ba₂(In_2-xCr_x)O₅·(H₂O)_δ powders (0.04 ≤ x ≤ 0.60) were synthesized by solid state reaction to investigate the relation of crystal structure, thermochemical, magnetic, and optical properties. The Cr-substitution results in an unit cell expansion and formation of the higher-symmetric tetragonal phase together with increased oxygen and hydrogen contents. Magnetic property measurements reveal that the diamagnetic pristine Ba₂In₂O₅·(H₂O)_δ becomes magnetically ordered upon Cr-substitution. By UV–vis spectroscopy a gradual shift of the absorption-edge energy to lower values was observed. Numerical calculations showed that the observed bandgap narrowing was ascribed to the Cr induced states near the Fermi level. The correlation between the changes of crystal chemistry, magnetic, and optical properties of Cr-substituted Ba₂(In_2-xCr_x)O₅·(H₂O)_δ can be explained by the replacement of In by Cr. Consequently, an enhanced photocatalytic CO₂ reduction activity was observed with increasing Cr substitution, compatible with the state-of-the-art high surface area TiO₂ photocatalyst (P-25).     

Mn(I) in an extended oxide: the synthesis and characterization of La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(2+δ) (0.6 ≤ x ≤ 1)

Reduction of La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(3) (0.6 ≤ x ≤ 1) perovskite phases with sodium hydride yields materials of composition La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(2+δ). The calcium-rich phases (x = 0.9, 1) adopt (La(0.9)Ca(0.1))(0.5)Mn(0.5)O disordered rocksalt structures. However local structure analysis using reverse Monte Carlo refinement of models against pair distribution functions obtained from neutron total scattering data reveals lanthanum-rich La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(2+δ) (x = 0.6, 0.67, 0.7) phases adopt disordered structures consisting of an intergrowth of sheets of MnO(6) octahedra and sheets of MnO(4) tetrahedra. X-ray absorption data confirm the presence of Mn(I) centers in La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(2+δ) phases with x < 1. Low-temperature neutron diffraction data reveal La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(2+δ) (x = 0.6, 0.67, 0.7) phases become antiferromagnetically ordered at low temperature.     

Theoretical study of negatively charged Fe(-)-(H2O)(n ≤ 6) clusters

Interactions of a singly negatively charged iron atom with water molecules, Fe(-)-(H(2)O)(n≤6), in the gas phase were studied by means of density functional theory. All-electron calculations were performed using the B3LYP functional and the 6-311++G(2d,2p) basis set for the Fe, O, and H atoms. In the lowest total energy states of Fe(-)-(H(2)O)(n), the metal-hydrogen bonding is stronger than the metal-oxygen one, producing low-symmetry structures because the water molecules are directly attached to the metal by basically one of their hydrogen atoms, whereas the other ones are involved in a network of hydrogen bonds, which together with the Fe(δ-)-H(δ+) bonding accounts for the nascent hydration of the Fe(-) anion. For Fe(-)-(H(2)O)(3≤n), three-, four-, five-, and six-membered rings of water molecules are bonded to the metal, which is located at the surface of the cluster in such a way as to reduce the repulsion with the oxygen atoms. Nevertheless, internal isomers appear also, lying less than 3 or 5 kcal/mol for n = 2-3 or n = 4-6. These results are in contrast with those of classical TM(+)-(H(2)O)(n) complexes, where the direct TM(+)-O bonding usually produces high symmetry structures with the metal defining the center of the complex. They show also that the Fe(-) anions, as the TM(+) ions, have great capability for the adsorption of water molecules, forming Fe(-)-(H(2)O)(n) structures stabilized by Fe(δ-)-H(δ+) and H-bond interactions.     

Effect of Cation Nonstoichiometry on the Properties of Solid Electrolyte Ba x Ce0.97Nd0.03O3 - δ (0.90 ≤ x ≤ 1.10)

The effect of the cation nonstoichiometry on the electroconduction, electrotransfer, and stability in humid air of solid proton-conducting electrolyte Ba _x Ce_0.97Nd_0.03O_{3 -} (0.90 x 1.10) is studied. The electroconduction is found to decrease with decreasing content of BaO (x 1.0) and weakly depend on the BaO excess (x> 1.0). Ceramics of a stoichiometric composition (x = 1) and with lack of barium is stable when stored in humid air at room temperature, as opposed to the ceramics with barium excess, which rapidly decomposes in these conditions. The conduction of materials under study in oxidizing environment is ion-hole and in reducing media, ionic (proton + oxygen). The cation nonstoichiometry barely affects the nature of the ion transfer. An analysis of possible models for the formation of defects shows oxygen vacancies to be always present in Ba _x Ce_0.97Nd_0.03O_{3 -} , even at the CeO₂ excess exceeding the content of neodymium.     

溶胶-凝胶法制备二元稀土掺杂(Sm2O3)0.04 (Gd2O3)0.06 Ce0.8O2-δ纳米粉体

以Sm2O3、Gd2O3与Ce2(CO3)3.nH2O为原料,采用Sol-Gel法制备了二元稀土掺杂(Sm2O3)0.04(Gd2O3)0.06Ce0.8O2.δ纳米粉体.测定了pH值对0.80Ce(OH)4·0.08Sm(OH)3·0.12Gd(OH)3水溶胶体系zeta电位的影响.pH值约为7.0时,体系的Zeta电位为0,即体系的等电点(IEP)为7.0.pH值为10.0时,Zeta电位达到最大值-18.5my,说明此时该体系的稳定性最好.DTA/TG热分析表明,0.80Ce(OH)4·0.08Sm(OH)3·0.12Gd(OH)3粉体的热分解温度约为232℃.由粉末XRD分析可知,经750℃焙烧的二元稀土掺杂CeO2粉末为立方萤石结构,说明Sm2O3与Gd2O3已完全固溶到CeO2中形成了CeO2基固溶体.由TEM照片可以看出,粉末具有良好的分散性,呈软团聚状态,粒径在5-10nm之间.经BET测试计算的平均颗粒尺寸为11nm,与TEM结果是一致的.     

Oxygen surface exchange kinetics of SrTi(1-x)Fe(x)O(3-δ) mixed conducting oxides

The oxygen surface exchange kinetics of mixed conducting perovskite oxides SrTi(1-x)Fe(x)O(3-δ) (x = 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.35, 0.5) has been investigated as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure using the pulse-response (18)O-(16)O isotope exchange (PIE) technique. Arrhenius activation energies range from 140 kJ mol(-1) for x = 0 to 86 kJ mol(-1) for x = 0.5. Extrapolating the temperature dependence to the intermediate temperature range, 500-600 °C, indicates that the rate of oxygen exchange, in air, increases with increasing iron mole fraction, but saturates at the highest iron mole fraction for the given series. The observed behavior is concomitant with corresponding increases in both electronic and ionic conductivity with increasing x in SrTi(1-x)Fe(x)O(3-δ). Including literature data of related perovskite-type oxides Ba(0.5)Sr(0.5)Co(0.8)Fe(0.2)O(3-δ), La(0.6)Sr(0.4)Co(0.2)Fe(0.8)O(3-δ), La(0.6)Sr(0.4)CoO(3-δ), and Sm(0.5)Sr(0.5)CoO(3-δ), a linear relationship is observed in the log-log plot between oxygen exchange rate and oxide ionic conductivity with a slope fairly close to unity, suggesting that it is the magnitude of the oxide ionic conductivity that governs the rate of oxygen exchange in these solids. The distribution of oxygen isotopomers ((16)O(2), (16)O(18)O, (18)O(2)) in the effluent pulse can be interpreted on the basis of a two-step exchange mechanism for the isotopic exchange reaction. Accordingly, the observed power law dependence of the overall surface exchange rate on oxygen partial pressure turns out to be an apparent one, depending on the relative rates of both steps involved in the adopted two-step scheme. Supplementary research is, however, required to elucidate which of the two possible reaction schemes better reflects the actual kinetics of oxygen surface exchange on SrTi(1-x)Fe(x)O(3-δ).     

Synthesis and Characterization of Li(11)Nd(18)Fe(4)O(39-δ)

Li(11)Nd(18)Fe(4)O(39-δ) has been synthesized by the solid-state reaction of pellets, covered with powder of the same composition to avoid lithium loss, with a final reaction temperature of 950 °C. This phase has been reported previously to have various stoichiometries: Li(5)Nd(4)FeO(10), Li(8)Nd(18)Fe(5)O(39), and Li(1.746)Nd(4.494)FeO(9.493). The crystal structure of Li(11)Nd(18)Fe(4)O(39-δ) is closely related to that reported previously for two of the other three compositions but contains extra Li and differences in Li/Fe site occupancies. Fe is present in a mixture of 3+ and 4+ oxidation states, as confirmed by M?ssbauer spectroscopy. The oxygen content of 39 - δ is variable, depending on the processing conditions. Samples slow-cooled in air from 800 °C are semiconducting, attributed to the presence of Fe(4+) ions, whereas samples quenched from 950 °C in N(2) are insulating.     

Electronic Structure and Chemical Bonding in Monoclinic and Cubic Li2-xHxTiO3 (0≤ x ≤ 2)

The linear muffintin orbitals method in a tight binding approximation and extended Huckel theory are used to study the electronic structure and chemical bonding of lithium titanate (Li₂TiO₃) and its protonated analogs (Li_1.75H_0.25TiO₃ and H₂TiO₃). The effect of protons on electron spectrum characteristics and bond strength are investigated for the monoclinic and cubic phases of lithium titanate. Phase stability is evaluated by cohesion energy calculations.     

Synthesis and Electrical Properties of New Solid State Electrolyte Materials Ce_(6-x)Ho_xMoO_(15-δ)(0.0≤x≤1.2)

Ce6-xHoxMoO15-δ(0.0≤x≤1.2) was synthesized by modified sol-gel method and characterized by diffe-rential X-ray diffraction(XRD), Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) methods. The oxide ionic con-ductivity of the samples was investigated by AC impedance spectroscopy. It shows that all the samples are single phase with a cubic fluorite structure. The solid solution Ce6-xHoxMoO15-δ(x=0.6) was detected to be the best con-ducting phase with the highest conductivity(σt=1.05×10-2 S/cm) at 800 ℃ and the lowest activation energy(Ea=1.09eV). These properties suggest that this kind of material has a potential application in intermediate-low temperature solid oxide fuel cells.     

Mechanical properties of mixed conducting La0.5Sr0.5Fe1−x Co x O3−δ (0≤x≤1) materials

Young’s modulus, strain–stress behavior, fracture strength, and fracture toughness of (0≤×≤1) materials have been investigated in the temperature range 20–1,000°C. Young’s moduli of and , measured by resonant ultrasound spectroscopy, were 130±1 and 133±3 GPa, respectively. The nonlinear stress–strain relationship observed by four-point bending at room temperature was inferred as a signature of ferroelastic behavior of the materials. Above the ferroelastic to paraelastic transition temperature, the materials showed elastic behavior, but due to high-temperature creep, a nonelastic respond reappeared above ∼800°C. The room temperature fracture strength measured by four-point bending was in the range 107–128 MPa. The corresponding fracture toughness of , measured by single edge V-notch beam method, was 1.16±0.12 MPa·m^1/2. The measured fracture strength and fracture toughness were observed to increase with increasing temperature. The fracture mode changed from intragranular at low temperature to intergranular at high temperature. Tensile stress gradient at the surface of the materials caused by a frozen-in gradient in the oxygen content during cooling was proposed to explain the low ambient temperature fracture strength and toughness.
