Ba3P3I2 und Ba5P5I3: Stufenweise Oxidation von Bariumphosphid mit Iod

Ba₃P₃I₂ and Ba₅P₅I₃: Stepwise Oxidation of Barium Phosphide with Iodine The novel compounds Ba₃P₃I₂ and Ba₅P₅I₃ were obtained by the reaction of barium phosphide with iodine. The air and moisture sensitive compounds crystallize in new structure types: Ba₃P₃I₂ (oP32; Pnma; a = 1719.5(4) pm; b = 462.4(2) pm; c = 1427.2(4) pm; Z = 4; R(F)_N′ = 0.067 (N′(hkl) = 2667), Ba₅P₅I₃ (mC52; C2/m; a = 4266.4(13) pm; b = 456.3(2) pm; c = 943.1(3) pm; ß = 92.20(3)°; Z = 4; R(F)_N′ = 0.040 (N′(hkl) = 3909). Both can be described as double salts of a hypothetic Zintl Phase ('Ba₂P₃' or 'Ba₇P₁₀') and a halide (BaI₂). Characteristic structural features are P₃ and P₄ chains, corresponding to Ba₃[P₃]I₂ and Ba₁₀[P₃]₂[P₄]I₆, respectively. The bonding characteristics will be interpreted on the basis of the structure and the physical properties.     

Ni2P/SiO2-Al2O3催化剂的制备、表征及其对4,6-二甲基二苯并噻吩加氢脱硫反应的催化性能

 以硅酸钠为原料,以大孔Al2O3为基载体,采用水解沉积法制备了SiO2-Al2O3复合载体. 进而以非晶态镍基合金为前驱体,在低温下通过PH3处理制备了Ni2P/SiO2-Al2O3催化剂. 用X射线衍射、红外光谱、扫描电镜、电感耦合等离子体发射光谱和N2吸附技术对复合载体和催化剂进行了表征,并以4,6-二甲基二苯并噻吩为探针在小型连续流动固定床反应器上考察了催化剂的加氢脱硫性能. 结果表明,在γ-Al2O3载体表面引入SiO2能够明显减少γ-Al2O3表面四配位的Al3+离子,从而减弱Ni2P/SiO2-Al2O3催化剂中Ni2P和γ-Al2O3载体表面的强相互作用. 加入适量的SiO2后, SiO2-Al2O3复合载体仍能保持大孔γ-Al2O3载体孔结构的优势. 在实验范围内, Ni2P/SiO2-Al2O3催化剂表现出很好的加氢脱硫性能.     

HfNixP – Intercalation of Ni into the Three-Dimensional Compound HfP

The new compound HfNi_xP (x = 0.426(1), crystal structure: P6₃/mmc, a = 3.737(1) Å, c = 12.666(2) Å, V = 153.21(7) ų) has been prepared by arc-melting of HfP with nickel and subsequent annealing at 1400°C. Its crystal structure can be considered as a filled HfP structure, with the Ni atoms inserted into the trigonal prismatic voids of the Hf sublattice. Since the neighboring trigonal Hf₆ prisms are centered by P atoms, each of the three rectangular faces of the Hf₆Ni prism is capped with one P atom. Altogether, the structure of HfNi_xP consists of alternating layers of Hf atoms with the packing sequence AABB . One P and the Ni position are situated between the eclipsed Hf layers, whereas the other P site between the A and B layers is surrounded by six Hf atoms in a staggered arrangement. The calculated density of states (Extended Hückel approximation) points to metallic conductivity; threedimensional metallic behavior is assumed because of the Hf–Hf bonding interactions along all three directions.

Synthesis of transition-metal phosphides from oxidic precursors by reduction in hydrogen plasma

A series of transition metal phosphides, including MoP, WP, CoP, Co₂P, and Ni₂P, were synthesized from their oxidic precursors by means of hydrogen plasma reduction under mild conditions. The effects of reduction conditions, such as metal to phosphorus molar ratio, power input, and reduction time, on the synthesis of metal phosphides were investigated. The products were identified by means of XRD characterization. It is indicated that metal phosphides were readily synthesized stoichiometrically from their oxides in hydrogen plasma under mild conditions.     

Urchin-Type Architecture Assembled by Cobalt Phosphide Nanorods Encapsulated in Graphene Framework as an Advanced Anode for Alkali Metal Ion Batteries

Urchin-type cobalt phosphide microparticles assembled by nanorod were encapsulated in a graphene framework membrane (CoP@GF), and used as a binder-free electrode for alkali metal ion batteries. Electrochemical measurements indicate that this membrane exhibits enhanced reversible lithium, sodium, and potassium storage capabilities. Moreover, the energy storage properties of CoP@GF electrodes in alkali metal ion batteries display an order of Li>Na>K. DFT calculations on adsorption energy of CoP surfaces for Li, Na, and K indicated that CoP surfaces were more favorable to transfer electrons to Li atoms than Na and K, and the surface reactivity can be ordered as Li-CoP>Na-CoP>K-CoP; thus, CoP@GF exhibits better storage capacity for lithium. This work provides experimental and theoretical basis for understanding the electrochemical performance of cobalt phosphide-based membranes for alkali metal ion batteries.     

Enlarged ferromagnetic hysteresis in InMnP:Be epilayers formed by thermal diffusion using MBE-grown Mn/InP:Be bilayers

The p-type InMnP:Be epilayers, which were prepared by thermal diffusion of Mn through in-situ deposition of Mn layer using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) onto MBE-grown InP:Be epilayers and subsequent in-situ annealing at 300–350 °C, were investigated. InMnP:Be epilayers prepared by the above sequence clearly showed the Mn-related emission band at 1.1–1.2 eV, which indicates the effective incorporation of Mn²⁺ ions into the host layer InP:Be. The samples demonstrated very large ferromagnetic hysteresis loops with enhanced coercivity, and the ferromagnetic-to-paramagnetic transition of the samples was observed to occur at ∼85 K. These results suggest that InP-based ferromagnetic semiconductor layers having enhanced ferromagnetism can be effectively formed by the above-mentioned sequential in-situ processes.     

Mo助剂含量对Mo-Ni2P/SBA-15/堇青石整体式催化剂加氢脱硫性能的影响

 采用共浸渍法制备了 P/Ni 摩尔比为 2 的 Ni2P/SBA-15, 再通过二次浸渍引入助剂 Mo 制得 Mo-Ni2P/SBA-15, 将它调制成活性胶后均匀涂敷于预处理后的载体表面, 干燥焙烧后在氢气流中采用程序升温还原法, 制备了一系列 Mo-Ni2P/SBA-15/堇青石整体式催化剂. 采用 X 射线衍射、N2 吸附-脱附和 X 射线光电子能谱对催化剂结构进行了表征, 以二苯并噻吩为模型含硫化合物, 考察了催化剂的加氢脱硫性能. 结果表明, Mo 的加入增大了催化剂的比表面积, 在催化剂表面形成了 MoNiP2, 且 Ni2P 为主要活性物相. Mo 在催化剂表面主要以 Mo6+和 Moδ+形式存在; 当 w(Mo) = 4.2% 时, n(Mo)/n(Ni+Mo) = 0.18 的整体式催化剂上二苯并噻吩的转化率最高, 且在较低反应温度时以直接脱硫机理为主, 而较高反应温度时以加氢脱硫机理为主.     

Preferential crystallographic alignment in polycrystalline MnP

The existence of preferential crystallographic alignment in hot pressed and die upset manganese phosphide (MnP) was investigated using magnetic measurements and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Pole figures calculated from the EBSD data show that die upsetting causes the 〈1 1 0〉 directions to align preferentially along the die upset (DU) direction with the 〈0 0 1〉 direction preferentially perpendicular to the DU direction. Magnetic measurements show that the die upsetting can reduce the saturation field relative to that of a similar sample with randomly oriented grains. Since the low-field magnetocaloric effect in single crystals of MnP has been shown to be greatest along the 〈0 1 0〉 direction and smallest along the 〈1 0 0〉 direction, this technique offers a means to achieve the advantages of single crystal alignment with the economy of using bulk processing techniques on polycrystalline material. The peak magnetic entropy change measured with the field applied along the DU direction in the DU sample was 3%, 5%, and 8% greater than the peak entropy change of a randomly oriented powder at fields of 2.0, 1.0, and 0.5 T, respectively.
