元素掺杂对VH2解氢性能的影响

采用密度泛函理论（DFT）的第一性原理的平面波超软赝势方法,研究了Zr、Cu、Zn掺杂对VH2的电子结构和解氢性能的影响．计算结果显示Zr掺杂VH2后晶体模型的负合金形成热增加和费米能级目处电子浓度N（Ef）的减少,体系结构稳定性增强;V—H之间重叠集居数和电子密度计算也显示V-H之间相互作用增强;表明在VH2中掺杂Zr以后吸放氢最大容量增加,但解氢能力减弱．而Cu或Zn掺杂VH2以后晶体模型的负合金形成热减少和费米能级Ef处电子浓度N（Ef）增加,体系结构稳定性减弱;V-H之间重叠集居数和电子密度计算也显示V-H之间相互作用减弱;表明在VH2中掺杂Cu或Zn以后吸放氢最大容量降低,但解氢能力增强．与实验结论相符．同时Mulliken集居数计算结果还显示V-d轨道MuUiken集居数与掺杂有关,掺杂Zr以后V—d轨道Mulliken集居数减少;掺杂Cu或Zn以后V—d轨道Mulliken集居数增加．     

Zr-FSM-16中孔分子筛的合成及其对苯羟基化的催化性能

 以十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTMAB)为模板剂,合成出Zr-FSM-16中孔分子筛,并采用XRD,IR和BET等对分子筛进行了表征. 考察了Zr掺杂量和pH值等因素对分子筛结构的影响,并考察了合成出的Zr-FSM-16分子筛对苯羟基化反应的催化性能. 结果表明,Zr能有效地嵌入FSM-16的骨架之中,但Zr的嵌入对分子筛中孔结构的形成具有一定的不利影响,随着Zr嵌入量的增加,分子筛的长程有序度会下降; pH值对分子筛中孔结构的形成也具有十分显著的影响,在n(Si)/n(Zr)=40的条件下, pH＜12.5时,有序度随着pH值的升高而升高,pH＞12.5时则相反. 一般在n(Si)/n(Zr)＞40时,催化剂均能保持较好的六方晶体结构和较大的比表面积; n(Si)/n(Zr)＜20时,则较难形成中孔结构. Zr-FSM-16对于苯的羟基化反应具有良好的催化性能,催化活性和选择性均随Zr嵌入量的增加而升高,n(Si)/n(Zr)=40时,苯酚的选择性可达65%以上.     

X-ray diffraction study of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis in the Zr–Al–C system

The phase formation process in the Zr–Al–C system during self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) has been studied by time resolved X-ray diffraction (TRXRD). The “nonuniqueness” of SHS routes in ternary solid-phase systems depending on synthesis initiation conditions has been established. No formation of ternary compounds belonging to the class of MAX phases has been observed in the considered system. It has been shown that the reaction responsible for the propagation of the combustion wave is the synthesis of ZrC, if SHS is initiated by a high-temperature pulse, and the end product also incorporates intermetallide zirconium phases. At the same time, the sequential formation of the Zr[Al] solid solution, the ZrAlC _х phase, and the intermetallide ZrAl₃, ZrAl₂, and Zr₂Al₃ phases occurs in the bulk ignition of the 2Zr–Al–C mixture under the conditions of great heat withdrawal during the reaction between an Al melt and Zr particles. No initiation of the Zr–C reaction takes place due to a low enthalpy of the reactions between aluminum and zirconium.     

Modifying the reactivity in the homologation of propane by introducing aryloxide ligands on a silica supported zirconium alkyl system

Grafting the well-defined molecular complexes [(ArO)Zr(CH2tBu)3], , and [(ArO)2Zr(CH2tBu)2], , on SiO2-(700) (ArO=2,6-Ph2C6H3O) gives the corresponding monosiloxy surface complexes [([TRIPLE BOND]SiO)Zr(CH2tBu)2(OAr)] and [([TRIPLE BOND]SiO)Zr(CH2tBu)(OAr)2] as major surface species as evidenced by mass balance analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopies. In both cases, minor cyclometallated species (ca. 20%) are also probably formed during the grafting process. While /SiO2-(700) catalytically transforms propane into its lower and higher homologues, /SiO2-(700) remains inactive. Moreover, the formation of butane as the major higher homologues is consistent with the formation of metallocarbene intermediates in this system in contrast to what was observed for the corresponding homologation reaction on silica supported zirconium hydrides.     

Oxygen-release/storage properties of Ce0.5M0.5O2 (M = Zr, Hf) oxides: interplay of crystal chemistry and electronic structure

Fluorite-type Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 and Ce0.5Hf0.5O2 have been synthesized by a solution combustion route, and their oxygen release and reduction have been investigated up to 850 degrees C. On reduction, the zirconium system forms two pyrochlore phases, Ce2Zr2O7 (pyrochlore-I) and Ce2Zr2O6.2 (pyrochlore-II), while the hafnium system forms only a disordered fluorite phase with the composition Ce0.5Hf0.5O1.77, under the same experimental conditions. The crystal structures of the reduction products have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement, and their electronic structures have been investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy and electrical conductivity measurements. Pyrochlore-I (a = 10.6727(4) A) is a semiconductor, while pyrochlore-II (a = 10.6463(8) A) is a good conductor (with a nearly temperature independent resistivity of approximately 2.5 ohm.cm in the 400-1000 K range). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows an admixture of Ce(5d,6s) with Zr(4d) and O(2p) and a significant density of states near EF in the highly reduced pyrochlore-II phase. The changes have been rationalized in terms of a qualitative energy band scheme that brings out the special role of zirconium vis-à-vis hafnium in the reduction/oxygen release properties of Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 and Ce0.5Hf0.5O2.     

Zirconium(IV) complexes of oxydiacetic acid in aqueous solution and in the solid state as studied by multinuclear NMR and X-ray crystallography

The structures of complexes of Zr(IV) and oxydiacetate (ODA2-) in aqueous solutions of pH 0-7 were investigated with the use of 1H, 13C, and 17O NMR spectroscopy. Equilibria of mononuclear [Zr(oda)]2+, [Zr(oda)2], and [Zr(oda)3]2- complexes have been observed. In all complexes ODA2- is bound in a tridentate fashion through the two carboxylate groups and the ether oxygen. No di- or oligonuclear species containing ODA2- were observed. An excess of free Zr(IV) remains in solution, probably as a result of weak electrostatic interactions between negatively charged Zr-ODA complexes or free ODA2- and a positively charged cyclic tetranuclear hydroxy zirconium complex. CP-MAS 13C NMR spectra of solid compounds isolated from the samples indicated that the structures of the [Zr(oda)2] and [Zr(oda)3]2- complexes in solution are similar to those in the solid state. This is corroborated by the single-crystal X-ray structure of Na2[Zr(oda)3] x 5.5 H2O, which was obtained from a solution containing exclusively the [Zr(oda)3]2- complex. In this structure Zr(IV) is nine-coordinate with the three ODA2- ligands bound in a tricapped trigonal prismatic geometry. The negative charge of this [Zr(oda)3]2complex is balanced by two Na+ ions, one of which is on a center of symmetry between delta and lambda enantiomers of [Zr(oda)3]2-. This Na+ is octahedrally coordinated to six (non Zr(IV)-bound) carboxylate oxygen atoms of six different [Zr(oda)3]2- units.     

KCl-MgCl2-K2ZrF6-ZrO2熔盐体系中Mg-Zr合金的制备

在1023 K条件下,开展了Zr（IV）在KCl-MgCl₂-K₂ZrF₆和KCl-MgCl₂-K₂ZrF₆-ZrO₂熔盐中Mo电极上的电化学实验,并获得如下结果：Zr（IV）还原为Zr（0）是通过两步反应,即Zr（IV）+ 2e^- → Zr（II）和Zr（II）+2e^- → Zr（0）。两个反应是准可逆的。KCl-MgCl₂-K₂ZrF₆-ZrO₂熔盐中的电极反应表明在预沉积的Zr上欠电位沉积Mg可以用来制备Mg-Zr合金。感应耦合离体子体-原子发射光谱（ICP-AES）分析结果表明,在1023 K和KCl-MgCl₂-K₂ZrF₆-ZrO₂熔盐中K₂ZrF₆含量在9.2%（w）条件下,恒电流电解获得的Mg-Zr合金中Zr含量可以达到7.2%（w）。并采用X射线衍射（XRD）和扫描电镜-能谱仪（SEM-EPS）对合金进行表征。利用KCl、MgCl₂、K₂ZrF₆、KF和ZrO₂为原料,直接恒电流电解制备Mg-Zr合金是可行的,且在确定反应条件下实现合金中Zr含量可控;揭示了KCl-MgCl₂熔盐体系可以实现Mg和Zr的共电沉积,并且验证了直接电解ZrO₂获得Mg-Zr合金的可行性。     

Crystal structure, coloring problem and magnetism of Gd(5-x)Zr(x)Si4

Ternary Gd(5-x)Zr(x)Si(4) silicides were synthesized by arc melting of the constituent elements and subsequent heat treatments. The Gd(5-x)Zr(x)Si(4) phases adopt the orthorhombic Gd(5)Si(4)-type (space group Pnma) structure for x≤ 0.25 and the tetragonal Zr(5)Si(4)-type (space group P4(1)2(1)2) structure for x≥ 1.0, respectively. The samples with intermediate compositions contain two phases. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals a preferential site occupancy for Zr on the three metal sites in the order of M3 > M2 > M1. Size arguments based on the local coordination environments suggest that the larger Gd atoms preferentially occupy the larger M1 site, while the smaller Zr atoms tend to occupy the smaller metal sites, M2 and M3. Tight-binding linear-muffin-tin orbital calculations illustrate a role of the metal-silicon bonds in the metal site occupation. An increase in the valence electron concentration through the Zr substitution weakens the Si-Si interactions but enhances the metal-silicon and metal-metal interactions. The Curie temperature of Gd(5-x)Zr(x)Si(4) decreases gradually with the increasing Zr content.     

Thermodynamic properties of arsenic compounds and the heat of formation of the As atom from high level electronic structure calculations

Structures, vibrational frequencies, atomization energies at 0 K, and heats of formation at 0 and 298 K are predicted for the compounds As(2), AsH, AsH(2), AsH(3), AsF, AsF(2), and AsF(3) from frozen core coupled cluster theory calculations performed with large correlation consistent basis sets, up through augmented sextuple zeta quality. The coupled cluster calculations involved up through quadruple excitations. For As(2) and the hydrides, it was also possible to examine the impact of full configuration interaction on some of the properties. In addition, adjustments were incorporated to account for extrapolation to the frozen core complete basis set limit, core/valence correlation, scalar relativistic effects, the diagonal Born-Oppenheimer correction, and atomic spin orbit corrections. Based on our best theoretical D(0)(As(2)) and the experimental heat of formation of As(2), we propose a revised 0 K arsenic atomic heat of formation of 68.86 ± 0.8 kcal/mol. While generally good agreement was found between theory and experiment, the heat of formation of AsF(3) was an exception. Our best estimate is more than 7 kcal/mol more negative than the single available experimental value, which argues for a re-examination of that measurement.     

Influence of an electric field on the buoyancy-driven instabilities

The influence of dc electric fields (EFs) on the development of buoyancy-driven instabilities of reaction fronts is investigated experimentally in a modified Hele-Shaw cell for the arsenous acid-iodate system. Assessment of effects of external EFs is made both visually and through dispersion curves. It is shown that density fingering, observed on ascending fronts, is suppressed by the EF if the front propagates towards the positive electrode and is enhanced when the front propagates towards the negative electrode. The stabilizing (destabilizing) effects include slower (faster) development of fingers and the decrease (increase) in their numbers. The descending front, stable under no EF conditions, remains stable when an EF is applied with the positive electrode facing the approaching front. When the descending front faces the negative electrode, the tiny fingerlike structure develops after quite a long time.     

Solid formation in simulated high level liquid waste of relatively low nitric acid concentration

Solid formation in a simulated high level liquid waste (HLLW) was experimentally examined at 2M and 0.5M nitric acid concentrations. The precipitation studies were conducted by refluxing the simulated HLLW around 100°C. Zr, Mo, Te and Ru were major precipitation elements in both 2M and 0.5M HNO₃ solutions. The amount of precipitate in 2M HNO₃ solution decreased with decreasing Zr concentration and no precipitation was found in the solution without Zr. Only about 10% of Zr, Mo and Te were precipitated, if the Mo/Zr ratio in the 0.5M HNO₃ solution was kept below 0.5. Complete removal of Zr and Mo was the most effective way to prevent solid formation in the solution with 2M and 0.5M HNO₃ concentrations.     

Effects of Template Contents on the Physicochemical Sorption Properties of Zr—Incorporated Mesoporous Titania Materials

Zr-Incorporated mesoporous titania materials were prepared via nonsurfactant templated sol-gel process of zirconium(IV) butoxide(ZBT) and titanium(IV) butoxide(TBT) in the presence of urea molecules as template or pore forming agent.The effcets of template contents on the pore parameters of the materials synthesized with fixed Zr incorporation contents were investigated by mitrogen adsorption-desrption measurements,powder X-ray diffraction(XRD) study and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The changes of template contents play significant roles on the pore parameters at low incorporsation content of Zr.The pore diameters display a clear increase tendency with the increase of template contents.When high Zr incorporation content is used,the template contents have less effect on the pore diameters that almost keep unchanged with the increase of template contents.All the materials possess type IV isotherms with H2 hysteresis loops suggesting the formation of mesophase.The materials with low Zr incorporation content have anatase structures；however,it can not be found in the materials with high Zr incorporation content.TEM images show that some accumulated inter-particulate pores and welldistributed worm-like pores are present in the Zr-incorporated materials.     

Effect of NH2 and CF3 functionalization on the hydrogen sorption properties of MOFs

The hydrogen adsorption capacity and heat of adsorption at 77 K have been evaluated for several porous metal terephthalate MOFs (MIL-53(Fe), MIL-125(Ti) and UiO-66(Zr)), as well as in their -NH(2) and -(CF(3))(2) functionalized isoreticular structures. The capacity of hydrogen is basically related to the textural properties of the solids and not to their composition. The heats of adsorption at low coverage are on the whole close to those usually reported for MOFs (6-7 kJ mol(-1)), except for the UiO-66(Zr) and MIL-53(Fe)-(CF(3))(2) analogues, whereas the presence of Lewis acid sites and/or a confinement effect enhances significantly the strength of interaction with hydrogen.     

ZrC(111)弛豫表面电子结构及其吸附氢的理论研究

采用第一性原理的方法对ZrC（111）清洁和氢吸附表面的电子结构进行了研究 。构型优化结果表明，从表面深入到体相一定深度，层间距存在交替“收缩”和“ 扩张”的现象，其紧邻E_F以下的DOS峰对应于活性表面态，主要成分为表面Zr原子 4d_(xz)/d_(yz)轨道；与理想表面相比，表面弛豫对该表面态影响不大。对于氢吸 附表面，计算结果表明氢原子倾向于吸附在表面孔洞上方位置（正对着第三层Zr原 子），此时H的1s态从体相的电子态中分离出来。此外，本文中H/ZrC（111）和 H/NbC（111）体系的H 1s诱导态变化进行了解释，并对清洁的吸附表面的芯能级位 移以及功函的变化进行了探讨。     

钒氢化物电子结构的量子化学研究

利用电荷自洽离散变分Xα(SCC-DV-Xα)方法计算了钒基固溶体中钒氢反应前后钒及其氢化物(VHx, x=0, 1, 2)、假定原子簇模型VHx*(x=1, 2)和VHx′(x=0, 1)的电子结构. 结果表明：钒与氢气反应生成VH时, 化学效应和结构效应都使V 3d和H 1s轨道向低能量方向移动, 氢化物VH中V 3d和H 1s轨道重叠最多, V－H之间的相互作用较强。VH再与氢气反应生成VH₂时, 结构效应使V 3d和H 1s轨道都向高能量方向移动, 氢化物VH₂中V 3d和H 1s轨道重叠最少, V和H之间的相互作用较弱。氢化物VH和VH₂中不仅存在离子性相互作用, 而且还存在共价性相互作用. 结构效应导致VH₂中V－H键的共价性减弱, 从而导致VH₂中V和H之间的相互作用减弱. 氢化物VH的费米能级比VH₂的低, 说明VH更稳定.     

Reactions of d0 group 4 amides with dioxygen. Preparation of unusual oxo aminoxy complexes and theoretical studies of their formation

Reactions of d0 amides M(NMe2)4 (M = Zr, 1; Hf, 2) with O2 have been found to yield unusual trinuclear oxo aminoxide complexes M3(NMe2)6(mu-NMe2)3(mu3-O)(mu3-ONMe2) (M = Zr, 3; Hf, 4) in high yields. Tetramethylhydrazine Me2N-NMe2 was also observed in the reaction mixtures. Crystal structures of 3 and 4 have been determined. Density functional theory calculations have been performed to explore the mechanistic pathways in the reactions of model complexes Zr(NR2)4 (R = H, 5; Me, 1) and [Zr(NR2)4]2 (R = H, 5a; Me, 1a) with triplet O2. Monomeric and dimeric reaction pathways in the formation of the Zr complex 3 are proposed.     

用ETV-ICP-MS研究Cr、Ni、Zr、Nb、Yb在石墨炉中的蒸发/原子化机理

本文以电热蒸发电感耦合等离子体质谱（ETV-ICP-MS）为手段,探讨了Cr、Ni、Zr、Nb和Yb在石墨炉中的蒸发/原子化机理;比较了不同化学改进剂存在条件下,Cr、Ni、Zr、Nb和Yb的蒸发行为和在石墨炉原子吸收（GFAAS）中的原子化行为;考察了石墨炉温度和ICP功率等实验参数对上述元素发射强度及轮廓的影响.结果表明,Pd和Mg化合物的存在对Cr、Ni、Zr、Nb和Yb的蒸发/原子化行为没有明显的化学改进作用;然而,以聚四氟乙烯（PTFE）为化学改进剂时,可显著改善Cr、Ni、Zr、Nb和Yb的蒸发行为,避免难熔碳化物的形成,降低待测物的蒸发温度;对Cr和Ni的GFAAS信号强度略有增强;但是,由于Yb、Nb和Zr氟化物的离解键能很高,难以离解/原子化,PTFE的存在反而降低了Yb、Nb和Zr在GFAAS中的信号强度.     

Reactivity of Zirconocene Azametallacyclobutenes: Insertion of Aldehydes, Carbon Monoxide, and Formation of alpha,beta-Unsaturated Imines. Formation and Trapping of [Cp(2)Zr=O] in a [4 + 2] Retrocycloaddition(1)

Azametallacyclobutene Cp(2)ZrN-t-BuCEt=CEt (1) underwent an insertion reaction with CO to form the acyl complex 2 (Cp(2)Zr(N-t-BuCEtCEtCO), 67% yield). The addition of acetone to azametallacyclobutene 3 (Cp(2)Zr(NArCMeCPh), Ar = 2,6-dimethylphenyl) yielded the N-bonded enamine and O-bonded enolate complex of zirconocene 4 (Cp(2)Zr(NArCMeCPhH)(OCMeCH(2)), 76% yield). The addition of aldehydes RCOH to metallacycle 3 resulted in the insertion of the aldehyde into the Zr-C bond to form complexes Cp(2)Zr(NArCMeCPhCRHO) (8a) and Cp(2)Zr(NArCMeCPhC(i-Pr)HO (9) in 85% (R = Ph) and 73% yields, respectively. Similarly, treatment of metallacycle 10 (Cp(2)Zr(NArCEtCEt)) with benzaldehyde yielded the insertion product 11 (Cp(2)Zr(NArCEtCEtCPhHO)) in 56% isolated yield. The structure of complex 11 was confirmed by an X-ray crystallographic study. Heating the insertion products 8a and 9 led to elimination of the alpha,beta-unsaturated imines 13 and 14a (ArN=CMeCPh=CRH) in 53% and 72% yields, respectively, and the formation of oxozirconocene oligomer (Cp(2)ZrO)(n)(). The oxozirconocene monomer was trapped by dimethylzirconocene, preventing the formation of oligomer and resulting in the isolation of product 15. A kinetic study of this retrocycloaddition produced the following activation parameters: DeltaH() = 26.5 kcal/mol, DeltaS() = 3.48 eu. A Hammett sigma/rho study showed that electron-donating groups alpha to the metallacycle oxygen accelerate the retrocycloaddition (rho = -0.8).     

Adsorption of ammonia by sulfuric acid treated zirconium hydroxide

The adsorption of ammonia on Zr(OH)(4), as well as Zr(OH)(4) treated with sulfuric acid, were examined. The results show that treating Zr(OH)(4) with sulfuric acid leads to the formation of a sulfate on the surface of the material, and that the sulfate contributes to the ammonia adsorption capacity through the formation of an ammonium sulfates species. Calcination of Zr(OH)(4) decreases the ammonia adsorption capacity of the material and limits the formation of sulfate species. NMR and FTIR spectroscopy results are presented that show the presence of two distinct ammonium species on the surface of the material. The adsorption capacity of the materials is shown to be a complex phenomenon that is impacted by the surface area, the sulfur content, and the pH of the material. The results illustrate that Zr(OH)(4), which is known to adsorb acidic gases, can be modified and used to adsorb basic gases.     

Transition Metal Atom Sites in Ternary ZrO2-TiO2-SiO2 Xerogels

There has been much work on the binary TiO₂-SiO₂ and ZrO₂-SiO₂ materials prepared by sol-gel because of the beneficial properties resulting from incorporation of Ti and Zr. In contrast the ternary TiO₂-ZrO₂-SiO₂ xerogels have been relatively little studied. We report the results of a study of those xerogels having Zr:Ti:Si ratios of 5:15:80, 10:10:80 and 15:5:80 heated to 750°C and to 1000°C. The study includes X-ray diffraction, small angle X-ray scattering, X-ray absorption spectroscopy at Ti and Zr K-edges, and ¹⁷O MAS-NMR. The study has benefited from close comparison with similar previous studies of the binary systems. The metal atoms in the ternary systems are shown to be predominantly homogeneously mixed in the silica network, as observed for the respective binary systems. The clear exception is for the sample with a minority of Zr, which after heat treatment at 750°C shows the presence of phase separation attributed to the formation of an amorphous precursor of ZrTiO₄; at 1000°C this phase crystallises. In samples with higher Zr content the crystallisation of a ZrO₂ tetragonal phase was observed. The data obtained illustrate well the strength of a research methodology in which a common batch of samples is studied using a coherent suite of modern structural probes.
