Tuning metal@metal salt photocatalytic abilities by different charged anions

A series of high performance Ag@Ag salts photocatalysts were designed and fabricated. The photocatalytic abilities of this kind of catalysts can be tuned by altering the negative charged ions (Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), CrO(4)(2-), PO(4)(3-), PW(12)O(40)(3-), and SiW(12)O(40)(4-)): higher stability and higher charged anions lead to the stronger photocatalytic ability.

铁-谷氨酸-硅钨酸三元配合物作为高活性非均相类Fenton催化剂降解4-氯酚

Fenton氧化法通过Fe2+离子催化分解H2O2产生羟基自由基,能够氧化降解绝大多数有机污染物.但是传统的均相Fenton氧化法使用高浓度二价铁盐作为催化剂,催化剂不便于回收利用,而且还会引发新的环境问题.另外,均相Fenton氧化法通常需要在pH约为3的酸性条件下进行,在较高pH条件下,有机物氧化降解速率降低,同时铁盐水解产生铁泥.文献报道了一些含铁固体材料作为非均相类Fenton催化剂,能够解决催化剂回收和重复利用问题,但是许多固体催化剂仍然只在酸性条件下表现出较高催化活性.多金属氧簇是除过渡金属氧化物之外的一类光催化剂.近年来,多金属氧簇在Fenton氧化过程中的应用开始受到关注.可以预计,含铁的多金属氧簇固体化合物有可能同时具有类Fenton催化活性和光催化活性.本文以三价铁盐(FeI I)、谷氨酸(Glu)和硅钨酸(SiW)为原料在水溶液中合成了一种不溶性的三元固体配合物FeШGluSiW,并用电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱(ICP-AES)、热重分析(TG)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)、紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-vis DRS)、X射线衍射(XRD)和场发射扫描电镜(FE-SEM)对FeШGluSiW进行了表征.根据ICP-AES, TG和FT-IR结果推断, FeШGluSiW可能的化学组成为[Fe(C5H8NO4)(H2O)]2SiW12O40·13H2O,其中含有铁、谷氨酸根单元和Keggin结构的SiW12O404?阴离子. FE-SEM和XRD测试结果表明, FeШGluSiW是由结晶度较低、尺寸为100–200 nm的无规则颗粒组成,并含有无定形相.通过考察在自然初始pH 6.5条件下100 mg/L 4-氯酚(4-CP)在FeШGluSiW(1.0 g/L)/H2O2(20 mmol/L)体系中的氧化降解反应,我们发现在暗态和光照条件下,4-CP完全降解所需时间分别为40和15 min,延长反应时间至2 h,总有机碳(TOC)去除率分别达到27%和72%.结果表明, FeШGluSiW具有很高的催化活性,而且在光照条件下活性更高.进一步研究发现, FeШGluSiW在pH 3–6.5范围内均表现出高的催化活性,而且在酸性条件下活性更高.用ICP-AES测定Fe元素在溶液中的析出量,证实4-CP氧化降解主要发生在固体催化剂表面.在反应体系中加入正丁醇能显著抑制4-CP降解,说明4-CP降解反应涉及羟基自由基的氧化作用.在光照反应条件下,催化剂颜色明显变深,表明光照条件下的反应机理涉及催化剂中SiW12O404?阴离子的还原.考虑到催化剂中含有谷氨酸根和SiW12O404?杂多阴离子,推测H2O2有可能通过氢键吸附于催化剂表面,这可能是FeШGluSiW表现出高催化活性的重要原因.结合文献报道的含铁固体材料类Fenton催化机理和多金属氧簇光催化机理,可以很好地解释4-CP降解反应实验结果.在暗态条件下, FeШGluSiW的催化机理归因于催化剂表面FeII的氧化还原循环FeII?FeI,即H2O2分子在催化剂表面分解产生羟基自由基,从而导致4-CP氧化;而在光照条件下,除了催化剂中FeI I的类Fenton催化作用之外,催化剂中SiW12O404?杂多阴离子的光催化作用同时发生,导致4-CP降解速率加快.在光催化过程中,4-CP可以被激发态SiW12O404?直接氧化,也可以被激发态SiW12O404?与H2O相互作用产生的羟基自由基氧化.被还原的杂多阴离子可以被O2氧化,也可以被H2O2氧化,因而H2O2的存在也促进了FeШGluSiW的光催化作用.     

Photosensitized degradation of dyes in polyoxometalate solutions versus TiO2 dispersions under visible-light irradiation: mechanistic implications

This article examines the photoxidation of a dye (rhodamine-B, RhB) by visible-light irradiation in the presence of a polyoxometalate (12-tungstosilicic acid, H(4)SiW(12)O(40)), and compares it with the analogous process in the presence of TiO(2). The photoreaction processes were examined by UV-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography/mass spectral techniques (LC-MS), and total organic carbon (TOC) assays in order to identify the intermediates produced. Formation of oxygen species, such as H(2)O(2) and O(2)*-, was also investigated to clarify the details of the reaction pathway. With the use of SiW(12)O(40)(4-) ions as the photocatalyst, the photoreaction leads mainly to N-dealkylation of the chromophore skeleton. In contrast, cleavage of the whole conjugated chromophore structure predominates in the presence of TiO(2). Strong O(2)*-/HO(2)*- ESR signals were detected in the TiO(2) dispersions, whereas only weak ESR signals for the O(2)*- radical ion were seen in the SiW(12)O(40)(4-) solutions during the irradiation period. Experimental results imply that reduction of O(2) occurs by different pathways in the two photocatalytic systems.     

Si取代Keggin型多酸催化光解水产氢机理

本文采用DFT和TD-DFT方法研究了Keggin型多酸[SiW12O40]4-光催化劈裂水产氢气机理。计算结果显示反应主要包括四个步骤：(i) 光激发,(ii) 电荷转移和生成单电子还原(OER)中间体,(iii) 生成双电子还原(TER)中间体,(iv)氢气从多酸表面解离和催化剂重生。当第一个电子从甲醇转移到多酸后,后续反应存在均为热力学上有利的放热途径,并推动第二个电子从甲醇自由基,H[SiW12O40]4-或[SiW12O40]5-转移到OER中间体H[SiW12O40]4-或[SiW12O40]5-生成TER中间体[SiW12O40]6-,H[SiW12O40]5-或H2[SiW12O40]4-,并伴随着H2产生。耦合的电子和质子转移路径在能量上最有利。甲醇和水分子的参与有利于H2产生。多酸在整个催化循环中,扮演了光敏剂、催化剂、电子的受体和给体。     

SiW12、PbS对提高TiO2纳米管光电转换效率的协同效应研究

复合薄膜可以改善TiO2纳米管在光电转换时电子-空穴易复合和吸收光谱范围窄的缺陷。用电沉积法将多酸H4SiW12O40（SiW12）沉积在TiO2纳米管表面形成SiW12/TiO2纳米管复合薄膜,再用连续离子层吸附反应法（SILAR）将PbS吸附到SiW12 /TiO2纳米管复合薄膜表面,形成PbS/ SiW12/TiO2纳米管复合薄膜,所得薄膜的光电转换效率相较于TiO2纳米管提高了57倍。X射线衍射（XRD）和扫描电子显微镜（SEM）表征结果表明,用电沉积法和连续离子层吸附反应法实现了PbS/SiW12/TiO2纳米管复合薄膜的制备;紫外可见（UV-vis）吸收光谱测试表明,复合薄膜的光吸收带边扩展到了可见光区域,电化学阻抗测试（EIS）表明,复合薄膜具有更高的电子转移速率;荧光光谱（PL）测试表明,复合薄膜拥有更小的电子-空穴复合率。以上结果说明,SiW12、PbS与TiO2纳米管复合,很好地抑制了TiO2纳米管电子-空穴的复合,并拓宽了吸收光谱范围,能显著地提高TiO2纳米管的光电性能。本文探索了一种有效提高TiO2纳米管光电转换效率的方法,对TiO2纳米管复合薄膜的制备具有一定的参考意义。

Polyoxometalate-stabilized Pt nanoparticles and their electrocatalytic activities

The synthesis of long-term stable polyoxometalate (POM)-stabilized Pt nanoparticles (NPs) is described here. By means of controlled bulk electrolysis, the reduced POM anions, SiW(12)O(40)(4-) (or SiW(12)) and H(2)W(12)O(40)(6-) (or H(2)W(12)), respectively, served the dual role of reductant and protecting/stabilizing ligand for the Pt NPs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images confirmed the formation of 3 to 4 nm sized Pt NPs, which coincidently was in the same size range of the commercial Pt black that was used as a reference. Elemental XPS analyses showed W/Pt ratios of 0.12 for the SiW(12)- and 0.18 for the H(2)W(12)-stabilized Pt NPs, but found no evidence of the presence of Cl(-) anion in the samples. Controlled electrochemical (EC), UV-Vis, and IR data provided unambiguous evidence for the structural integrity of the POM anions on the Pt NP surface. CO stripping, methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) were used to assess their electrocatalytic activities. It was found that both SiW(12)- and H(2)W(12)-stabilized Pt NPs showed enhanced activities in MOR and ORR as compared to that of Pt black, with the latter having higher enhancement. These observations clearly demonstrated that the stabilizing POM anions have a profound influence on the electrocatalytic activity of the underlying Pt NPs.

Incorporation of cationic electron donor of Ni-pyridyltetrathiafulvalene with anionic electron acceptor of polyoxometalate

A new salt-[Ni(II)(DMSO)(5)(TTFPy)](2)[α-SiW(12)O(40)] (1)-based on polyoxometalates was prepared by coordinating a cationic electron donor of pyridyltetrathiafulvalene (TTFPy) with Ni(II). Although the TTFPy molecule did not form a salt with the anionic α-[SiW(VI)(12)O(40)](4-) because of the weak charge-transfer (CT) interaction, the coordination of Ni with the pyridyl moiety permitted salt formation driven by electrostatic interaction, giving a single crystal of 1. Crystallographic analysis, UV-vis and IR spectroscopy and electrochemical characterization revealed that the fully oxidized α-[SiW(VI)(12)O(40)](4-) was crystallized with the neutral TTFPy moiety from the acetonitrile solution because of the low electron-withdrawing ability of α-[SiW(VI)(12)O(40)](4-), forming a brown-orange crystal. The crystal colour quickly turned to black by immersing in methanol, due to CT from TTF moiety to α-[SiW(VI)(12)O(40)](4-), which was caused by the solvent effect. Increase in the solvent acceptor number from 18.9 for acetonitrile to 41.3 for methanol resulted in the enhancement of the electron withdrawing ability of α-[SiW(VI)(12)O(40)](4-) by 0.317 V in methanol.     

Inorganic-organic hybrid materials with different dimensions constructed from copper-fluconazole metal-organic units and Keggin polyanion clusters

Inorganic-organic hybrid materials based on Keggin polyoxometalate building blocks combined with Cu(II)/Cu(I) and flexible fluconazole ligand [1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,1-bis[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]methanol] (Hfcz) have been obtained by hydrothermal methods, namely, [Cu(II)(2)(Hfcz)(4)(SiW(12)O(40))].3H(2)O (1), [Cu(II)(4)(fcz)(4)(H(2)O)(4)(SiMo(12)O(40))].6H(2)O (2), [Cu(II)(2)(fcz)(2)][Cu(II)(4)(fcz)(4)(SiW(12)O(40))][Cu(II)(2)(fcz)(2)(H(2)O)(2)(SiW(12)O(40))].6H(2)O (3), (Et(3)NH)(2)[Cu(I)(2)(Hfcz)(2)(SiW(12)O(40))].2H(2)O (4), (Et(3)NH)(2)[Cu(I)(2)(Hfcz)(2)(SiW(12)O(40))].H(2)O (5) and [Cu(I)(4)(Hfcz)(4)(SiMo(12)O(40))] (6). Their structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, and the compounds are further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and thermogravimetric (TG) analyses. In 1, Cu(II) cations are bridged by fluconazole ligands to form a 3D lvt coordination polymeric network, which is connected by (SiW(12)O(40))(4-) anions to form a complicated 3D (4,6)-connected framework with the topology of (4(2).6(4))(4(6).6(7).8(2))(2). In 2, two fcz(-) anions chelate two Cu(2+) cations to form a [Cu(fcz)](2)(2+) dimer, which is bridged by (SiW(12)O(40))(4-) polyanions to generate a 2D (4,4) grid. Compound 3 is formed by three types of co-crystallizing subunits including a dimer [Cu(fcz)](2)(2+), a dumbbell molecule [Cu(4)(fcz)(4)(SiW(12)O(40))] and an infinite chain {[Cu(2)(fcz)(2)(H(2)O)(2)(SiW(12)O(40))](2-)}(infinity). In compounds 4 and 5, Hfcz ligands link Cu(+) cations to generate 1D coordination polymeric units, and (SiW(12)O(40))(4-) polyanions connect these metal-organic units to form two types of (6(3)) sheets which are topological isomerism. In compound 6, (SiMo(12)O(40))(4-) polyanions fixed in Cu(I)-Hfcz square rings are further extended into a 2D sheet via linking Cu(I) atoms of different rings. By carefully inspection of the structures of 1-6, it is believed that various transition-metal organic units and Keggin polyanions with different coordination modes are important for the formation of the different structures. In addition, electrochemical behaviors of compounds 1, 2, 5 and 6 have been investigated.     

Electronic properties of polyoxometalates: electron and proton affinity of mixed-addenda Keggin and Wells-Dawson anions

A series of systematic DFT calculations were conducted on Keggin [SiW(9)M(3)O(40)](n-), M = Mo, V, and Nb; and Wells-Dawson anions [P(2)M(18)O(62)],(6-) M = W and Mo; [P(2)M(15)M(3)'O(62)](m-), M = W and Mo, M' = W, Mo, and V to analyze the redox properties and the basicity of the external oxygen sites in polyoxometalates with nonequivalent addenda metals. The energy and composition of the lowest unoccupied orbitals, formally delocalized over the addenda atoms, determine the redox properties of a polyoxometalate. When a Mo(6+) substitutes one W(6+) in the 1:12 tungstate, the energy of the LUMO decreases and the cluster is more easily reduced. The tungstoniobates behave differently because the niobium orbitals insert into the tungsten band and the reduction of [SiW(9)Nb(3)O(40)](7-) yields the blue species SiW(9)Nb(3) 1e and not the cluster SiW(9)Nb(2)Nb(IV). In Wells-Dawson structures, the polar and equatorial sites have different electron affinities and the reduction preferentially occurs in the equatorial sites. Inserting ions with larger electron affinities into the polar sites can modify this traditional conduct. Hence, the trisubstituted [P(2)W(15)V(3)O(62)](9-) anion is reduced in the vanadium polar sites. By means of molecular electrostatic potential maps and the relative energy of the various protonated forms of [SiW(9)V(3)O(40)](7-) and [SiW(9)Mo(3)O(40)](4-), we established the basicity scale: OV(2) > OMo(2) > OW(2) > OV > OW > OMo. Finally, a continuum model for the solvent enabled us to compare anions with different total charges.     

S掺杂形式对TiO2基光催化剂结构和性能的影响

Mechanistic analysis of the electrocatalytic properties of dissolved alpha and beta isomers of [SiW12O40]4- and solid [Ru(bipy)3]2[alpha-SiW12O40] on the reduction of nitrite in acidic aqueous media

Voltammetric studies on the reduction of alpha and beta isomers of the Keggin polyoxometalate anion [SiW12O40]4- reveal a series of electrochemically reversible processes in acidic aqueous media. In the presence of NO2-, catalytic current is detected in the potential region of the [SiW12O40]4-/5- process. Electronic spectroscopy and simulation of voltammetric data undertaken at variable [NO2-] and [H+] allow the following mechanism to be postulated, [SiW12O40]4- + e- <-->[SiW12O40]5-, H+ + HNO2 <--> NO+ + H2O, NO+ + [SiW12O40]5- --> NO + [SiW12O40]4-. The second-order rate constant for the rate-determining step is faster for the alpha isomer than for the beta one. This may be attributed to the different reversible potentials of -0.144 V (alpha isomer) and -0.036 V vs Ag/AgCl (beta isomer) and, hence, smaller driving force for an assumed outer sphere electron-transfer reaction in the case of beta isomer. A stable, water-insoluble, thin-film [Ru(bipy)3]2[alpha-SiW12O40] chemically modified electrode was generated electrochemically via ion-exchange of [Ru(bipy)3]2+ with Bu4N+ in the [Bu4N]4[alpha-SiW12O40] solid. The first reduction process with this modified electrode gives rise to the reaction [Ru(bipy)3]2[alpha-SiW12O40](solid) + H+(soln) + e- <--> H[Ru(bipy)3]2[alpha-SiW12O40](solid). The need to transfer a proton from the solution to the solid phase for charge neutralization purposes introduces a hydrogen-ion concentration dependence into this reaction, which is not found in the solution-phase study. Nevertheless, the voltammetric catalytic activity with respect to nitrite reduction is retained with the chemically modified electrode. However, nitrite catalysis with the [Ru(bipy)3]2[alpha-SiW12O40]-modified electrode is now independent of concentration of H+, rather than exhibiting a first-order dependence, and full mechanistic details for this process are unknown.     

Preparation and application of multiple-component-doped keggin polyoxometalate microtubes--towards a component-tunable hollow structure

In this paper, the preparation of ascorbic acid (AA)-doped polyoxometalate (SiW(12)-AA) microtubes is described. The SiW(12)-AA microtubes convert to heteropoly blue microtubes upon exposure to ammonia gas, which is an ammonia-triggered solid-solid redox reaction between AA molecules and polyoxometalates, and can possibly be applied to a chemical sensor for detecting ammonia and volatile organic amines. Furthermore, the SiW(12)-AA microtubes have been applied to the in situ synthesis of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) through the redox reaction between the AA component and Ag(+) ions occurring on the surfaces of the SiW(12)-AA microtubes to give silver NPs immobilized on polyoxometalate microtubes (Ag@SiW(12)).
