Proton conduction of MO-P2O5 glasses (M = Zn,Ba) containing a large amount of water

Zinc and barium phosphate glasses show good proton conductivity at intermediate temperature around 200 °C. Infrared spectra and ¹H magic angle spinning-nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS–NMR) spectra proposed that a 30 mol%ZnO-70 mol%P₂O₅ glass melted at 800 °C has a large amount of ‘mobile’ protons. The proton conductivity at 250 °C was measured to be 1 × 10⁻³ S/cm. A H₂-air fuel cell using the ZnO–P₂O₅ glass electrolyte of 1.8 mm in thickness showed the maximum power density of 1.2 mW/cm² at 200 °C.     

An in-depth in situ IR study of the thermal decomposition of yttrium trifluoroacetate hydrate

The pyrolysis of Y(CF₃COO)₃·nH₂O at temperatures up to 1,000 °C, under flowing pure Ar, O₂ and O₂ saturated with water vapour, was extensively analysed. The formation of HF is observed directly and the existence of a :CF₂ diradical is inferred during a trifluoroacetic acid salt decomposition. High resolution thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy indicated that the exothermic one-stage decomposition of the anhydrate salt occurs at 267 °C, forming YF₃. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy identified (CF₃CO)₂O, CF₃COF, COF₂, CO₂ and CO as the principal volatile species; and revealed the influence of water on the reactions liberating gaseous CF₃COOH, CHF₃, HF, and SiF₄ (from reactions with glass or quartz components). NO₂ and N₂O evolution suggested that traces of CH₃NO₂ were present in the starting material. Thermogravimetry and X-ray diffractometry indicated that the slow hydrolysis of the fluoride occurs between 630 and 655 °C, forming a mixture of Y₂O₃, YOF, Y₇O₆F₉, and YF₃. The decomposition and hydrolysis temperatures are significantly lower than previously reported, which has implications for sol–gel processing.     

Structure and multiferroic properties of Bi<Subscript>5</Subscript>FeTi<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>15</Subscript> thin films prepared by the sol–gel method

The Bi₅FeTi₃O₁₅ (BFTO) films of layered structure have been fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrates by the sol–gel method. The thermal decomposition behaviors of precursor powder were examined using thermo-gravimetric and differential scanning calorimeters analysis. The optimal heat treatment process for BFTO films were determined to be low-temperature drying at 200 °C for 4 min and high-temperature drying at 350 °C for 5 min followed by annealing at 740 °C for 60 min, which led to the formation of compact films with uniform grains of ~300 nm. The structural, surface topography, ferroelectric and magnetic properties of the films were investigated. The remnant polarization (2P _r) of BFTO thin films under an applied electric field of ~550 kV/cm are determined to be 67.5 μC/cm² . Meanwhile, the weak ferromagnetic properties of the BFTO films were observed at room temperature.     

Effect of field emission property of carbon‐like nanofiber treated by using a fluorocarbon/oxygen plasma

Carbon‐like nanofiber (CNF) is synthesized using microwave plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition. We present the effects of fluorocarbon and oxygen (CF₄/O₂) plasma‐treated on the microstructural, crystal, and field emission (FE) characteristics of CNF by SEM, transmission electron microscopy, micro‐Raman, and FE system. Results showed that the presence of the damaged CNF occurs at 2 min CF₄/O₂ plasma treatment and some amorphous carbon particles after 10 min CF₄/O₂ plasma treatment. One can also observe that turn‐on fields were enhanced (2.75 uA/cm²) at 2 min CF₄/O₂ plasma treatment; this indicates a remarkable FE enhancement of the local emission region in CNFs. Complementary information was obtained by thermal desorption atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry and XPS. It can be found that the broken surface morphologies could be attributed to the chemical reaction exchanged via plasma excitation; a large number of bonding (C–F and C–O) in the CNF was detected. In addition, it is observed that the CNF has higher fluorine desorbed at 277.5 and 427 °C after CF₄/O₂ plasma treatment. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

X-ray diffraction and vibrational data for a series of triphosphates type MIINa3P3O10.12H2O (MII = Cu,Ni and Mg) and their anhydrous forms MIINa3P3O10

These condensed phosphates are respectively, CuNa₃P₃O₁₀.12H₂O, MgNa₃P₃O₁₀.12H₂O, NiNa₃P₃O₁₀.12H₂O, CuNa₃P₃O₁₀, NiNa₃P₃O₁₀ and MgNa₃P₃O₁₀. The hydrate triphosphates were prepared by the method of ion-exchange resin, where as their anhydrous forms were prepared by total thermal dehydration of M^IINa₃P₃O₁₀.12H₂O (M^II = Cu, Ni and Mg).CuNa₃P₃O₁₀.12H₂O, MgNa₃P₃O₁₀.12H₂O and NiNa₃P₃O₁₀.12H₂O are isotypic, and crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group is P2₁/n, Z = 4, the unit-cell parameters are: CuNa3P3O10.12H2O, a = 15.052(8) Å, b = 9.234(3) Å,c = 14.767(8) Å and β = 90.03(5)°.

Effective Removal of CF4 by Combining Nonthermal Plasma with γ-Al2O3

Conversion of CF₄ was experimentally evaluated with three systems including catalytic hydrolysis, NTP-alone and plasma catalysis. Firstly, activity of γ-Al₂O₃ for CF₄ conversion was tested via catalytic hydrolysis. Experimental results indicate that the highest CF₄ conversion (72%) could be achieved with γ-Al₂O₃ in the presence of 45% H₂O_(g) with the operating temperature of 900 °C and the apparent activation energy is calculated as 85 kJ/mol using power rate law model. For plasma-based systems, results indicate that CF₄ conversions achieved with plasma catalysis remain 100% with the applied voltage ranging from 12 to 23 kV, while the highest CF₄ conversion achieved with NTP-alone is 86%. For the effects of various parameters on plasma-based systems, the results indicate that plasma catalysis also has better resistivity for higher total flow rate, CF₄ concentration and O₂ contents. Especially, CF₄ conversion could maintain at 100% with the operating applied of 23 kV as CF₄ concentration is increased to 10,000 ppm. On the other hand, CF₄ conversion achieved with NTP-alone is 18% at the same conditions. In addition, negative effect of O₂ on plasma catalysis could be reduced by the addition of Ar due to its good discharge properties and high excitation threshold energy (13 eV). The kinetics of plasma catalysis is investigated for CF₄ conversion by a simplified model, and the results indicate that overall energy constant achieved with plasma catalysis reaches 0.015 mg J^?1. Overall, plasma catalysis is demonstrated with good potential for the reduction of CF₄ emission.

     

Cold Plasma Processing and Plasma Chemistry of Metallic Cobalt Surface

Plasma processing of metallic cobalt was experimentally investigated with three fluorine-containing gases, CF₄–O₂, SF₆–O₂, and NF₃ to determine the surface decontamination rate and to examine the reaction mechanism. Results show that the maximum etching rate reaches 17.12 μm/min with NF₃ gas at 420°C, while the rates are 2.56 μm/min and 1.14 μm/min with CF₄–O₂ and SF₆–O₂ gas, respectively, at the same temperature. AES analysis identified the constituent elements of the reaction products to be oxygen, fluorine, and cobalt, and XPS analysis reveals that the reaction product with all three plasma gases is very likely to be CoF₂.     

Temperature effect on the chemical composition of a polytetrafluoroethylene surface under the irradiation of synchrotron radiation by means of the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

The chemical composition and components of a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surface was investigated as a function of the temperature under the irradiation of synchrotron radiation (SR) by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). When the temperature of PTFE under the SR irradiation was less than 100 °C, the C-rich surface appeared. With increasing the temperature more than 150 °C, the relative intensity of the F 1s peak to the C 1s peak increased markedly. At the temperatures of 150–180 °C, the C–C component became small and the CF₂ component was dominant. With further increasing the temperature more than 200 °C, CF₃, CF and C–CF components grew in addition to CF₂ component. Based on these XPS results, the temperature effect on the chemical composition and components is discussed.     

Nonstoichiometry,point defects and magnetic properties in Sr2FeMoO6−δ double perovskites

The phase stability, nonstoichiometry and point defect chemistry of polycrystalline Sr₂FeMoO_6?δ (SFMO) was studied by thermogravimety at 1000, 1100, and 1200 °C. Single-phase SFMO exists between ?10.2≤log pO₂≤?13.7 at 1200 °C. At lower oxygen partial pressure a mass loss signals reductive decomposition. At higher pO₂ a mass gain indicates oxidative decomposition into SrMoO₄ and SrFeO_3?x. The nonstoichiometry δ at 1000, 1100, and 1200 °C was determined as function of pO₂. SFMO is almost stoichiometric at the upper phase boundary (e.g. δ=0.006 at 1200 °C and log pO₂=?10.2) and becomes more defective with decreasing oxygen partial pressure (e.g. δ=0.085 at 1200 °C and log pO₂=?13.5). Oxygen vacancies are shown to represent majority defects. From the temperature dependence of the oxygen vacancy concentration the defect formation enthalpy was estimated (ΔH_OV=253±8 kJ/mol). Samples of different nonstoichiometry δ were prepared by quenching from 1200 °C at various pO₂. An increase of the unit cell volume with increasing defect concentration δ was found. The saturation magnetization is reduced with increasing nonstoichiometry δ. This demonstrates that in addition to Fe/Mo site disorder, oxygen nonstoichiometry is another source of reduced magnetization values.     

Kinetic parameters of unsaturated polyester resin modified with poly(ε -caprolactone)

The mineral sabugalite (HAl)_0.5[(UO₂)₂(PO₄)]₂⋅8H₂O, has been studied using a combination of energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction, dynamic and controlled rate thermal analysis techniques. X-ray diffraction shows that the starting material in the thermal decomposition is sabugalite and the product of the thermal treatment is a mixture of aluminium and uranyl phosphates. Four mass loss steps are observed for the dehydration of sabugalite at 48°C (temperature range 39 to 59°C), 84°C (temperature range 59 to 109°C), 127°C (temperature range 109 to 165°C) and around 270°C (temperature range 175 to 525°C) with mass losses of 2.8, 6.5, 2.3 and 4.4%, respectively, making a total mass loss of water of 16.0%. In the CRTA experiment mass loss stages were found at 60, 97, 140 and 270°C which correspond to four dehydration steps involving the loss of 2, 6, 6 and 2 moles of water. These mass losses result in the formation of four phases namely meta(I)sabugalite, meta(II)sabugalite, meta(III)sabugalite and finally uranyl phosphate and alumina phosphates. The use of a combination of dynamic and controlled rate thermal analysis techniques enabled a definitive study of the thermal decomposition of sabugalite. While the temperature ranges and the mass losses vary due to the different experimental conditions, the results of the CRTA analysis should be considered as standard data due to the quasi-equilibrium nature of the thermal decomposition process.

Phase equilibria in the oxide system Nd2O3–K2O–P2O5

A phase equilibria diagram of the partial system NdPO₄–K₃PO₄–KPO₃ has been developed as part of the research aimed at determining the phase equilibrium relationships in the oxide system Nd₂O₃–K₂O–P₂O₅. The investigations were conducted using thermoanalytical techniques, X-ray powder diffraction analysis and reflected-light microscopy. Three isopleths existing between: K₃Nd(PO₄)₂–K₄P₂O₇, NdPO₄–K₅P₃O₁₀ and NdPO₄–K₄P₂O₇ have been identified in the partial NdPO₄–K₃PO₄–KPO₃ system. Previously unknown potassium-neodymium phosphate “K₄Nd₂P₄O₁₅” has been discovered in the latter isopleth section. This phosphate exists in the solid phase up to a temperature of 890 °C at which it decomposes into the parent phosphates NdPO₄ and K₄P₂O₇. Four invariant points: two quasi-ternary eutectics, E₁ (1057 °C) and E₂ (580 °C) and two quasi-ternary peritectics, P₁ (1078 °C) and P₂ (610 °C), occur in the NdPO₄–K₃PO₄–KPO₃ region.     

In-situ synchrotron radiation SAXS study of structural deformation memory effect of the interfacial region in Al2O3/LDPE composite film

This paper employs the SAXS technique to study the microstructure evolution of nano Al₂O₃/low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composite film during temperature increase and decrease (including interfacial layer thickness, mass fractal and surface fractal), and discusses the deformation memory effect (DME) mechanism. Compared with the case of pure LDPE, there are some new phenomena observed in the Al₂O₃/LDPE composite film, such as an interfacial layer and surface fractal. The experimental results showed that, when the temperature rose from 25 °C to 180 °C, the interfacial layer thickness of the composite film increased from 2.8 nm to 3.5 nm, and the surface fractal dimension increased from 1.2 to 2.0, with the lamellar crystal of the PE molecular chains melting. When the temperature dropped from 180 °C to 30 °C, the interfacial layer thickness decreased from 3.5 nm to 3.0 nm, and the surface fractal dimension changed from 2.0 to 1.2, with the PE molecular chains recrystallizing. We found that the DME of the interface layer is that thickness and area increase when temperature rises and decrease when temperature decreases. The addition of Al₂O₃ nanoparticles into the polymer results in the adsorption of space charges in the matrix onto the nanoparticles and in the interfacial regions, which efficiently inhibits the space charge accumulation of the composite material in the gradient electrical field.     

Evolved gas analyses on a mixed valence copper(I,II) complex salt with thiosulfate and ammonia by in situ TG-EGA-FTIR and TG/DTA-EGA-MS

Thermal decomposition of a mixed valence copper salt, Na₄[Cu(NH₃)₄][Cu(S₂O₃)₂]₂·0.5NH₃ (1) prepared from pentahydrates of sodium thiosulfate and copper sulphate of various molar ratios in 1:1 v/v aqueous ammonia solution, has been studied up to 1,000 °C in flowing air by simultaneous thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis coupled online with quadrupole mass spectrometer (TG/DTA-MS) and FTIR spectrometric gas cell (TG-FTIR), in comparison. Compound 1 releases first but very slowly some of the included ammonia till 170 °C, then simultaneously ammonia (NH₃) and sulphur dioxide (SO₂) from 175 to 225 °C, whilst the evolution of SO₂ from thiosulfate ligands continues in several overlapping stages until 410 °C, and is escorted by explicit exothermic heat effects at around 237, 260, 358 and 410 °C. The former two exothermic DTA-peaks correspond to the simultaneous degradation and air oxidation processes of excess thiosulfate anions not reacted by formation of copper sulfides (both digenite, Cu_1.8S and covellite, CuS, checked by XRD) and sodium sulfate, while the last two exothermic peaks are accompanied also by considerable mass gains, as the result of two-step oxidation of copper sulfides into various oxosulfates. The mass increase continues further on until 580 °C, when the sample mass begins to decrease slowly, as a continuous decomposition of the intermediate copper oxosulfates, indicated also by re-evolution of SO₂. At 1,000 °C, a residual mass value of 64.3% represents a stoichiometric formation of Cu^IIO and anhydrous Na₂SO₄.     

Photocatalytic properties of CoOx-loaded nano-crystalline perovskite oxynitrides ABO2N (A = Ca,Sr, Ba,La; B = Nb,Ta)

Highly crystalline niobium- and tantalum-based oxynitride perovskite nanoparticles were obtained from hydrothermally synthesized oxide precursors by thermal ammonolysis at different temperatures. The samples were studied with respect to their morphological, optical and thermal properties as well as their photocatalytic activity in the decomposition of methyl orange. Phase pure oxynitrides were obtained at rather low ammonolysis temperatures between 740 °C (CaNbO₂N) and 1000 °C (BaTaO₂N). Particle sizes were found to be in the range 27 nm–146 nm and large specific surface areas up to 37 m² g⁻¹ were observed. High photocatalytic activities were found for CaNbO₂N and SrNbO₂N prepared at low ammonolysis temperatures. CoO_x as co-catalyst was loaded on the oxynitride particles resulting in a strong increase of the photocatalytic activities up to 30% methyl orange degradation within 3 h for SrNbO₂N:CoO_x.     

Phosphonium Salts of 1,8‐Bis(diphenylphosphino)naphthalene: Molecular Structures and NMR‐spectroscopic Studies

A representative series of diphosphine monophosphonium salts [1‐Ph₂P(C₁₀H₆)‐8‐PRPh₂]⁺X^– ( 2 b : R = H, X = CF₃SO₃; 4 : R = Me, X = CF₃SO₃; 5 : R = C₆H₅CH₂ = Bn, X = Br) has been prepared by treatment of 1,8‐bis(diphenylphosphino)naphthalene (dppn, 1 ) with stoichiometric amounts of HSO₃CF₃ or CH₃SO₃CF₃ in CH₂Cl₂ at +20 °C and with C₆H₅CH₂Br in toluene at +80 °C. Their X‐ray crystal structures show that there is no evidence for dative P → P⁺ interactions. Instead, steric repulsion deflects the substituent groups to opposite faces of the naphthalene plane [splay angles: +11.4° ( 2 b ), +13.6° ( 4 ); +16.7° ( 5 )]. In solution 2 b , 4 , and 5 were dynamic according to ³¹P, ¹³C, and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The fluxionality of 2 b involves rapid intramolecular proton exchange between the two phosphorus atoms, which slows down at low temperature, whereas the dynamic behaviour of 4 and 5 is interpreted in terms of hindered rotation of the bulky RPh₂P⁺ groups (R = Me or Bn) about the P–C(naphthyl) bond. Treatment of 1,8‐bis(diphenylphosphoryl)naphthalene (dppnO₂, 6 ) with HSO₃CF₃ gave the protonated bis(phosphine oxide), as the triflate salt, dppnO₂H⁺ CF₃SO₃^– ( 7 ). The X‐ray structure analysis of 7 revealed a highly strained molecule (P1…P2 365.5 pm) in which the P=O bonds point to the same face of the naphthalene plane to accommodate the proton. All isolated compounds were characterised by a combination of ³¹P, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy ( 7 ), mass spectrometry and elemental analysis.     

Low temperature high-pressure synthesis of LnNiO3 (Ln = Eu,Gd) in molten salts

We report a new low temperature method for the synthesis of LnNiO₃ (Ln = Eu, Gd) at 400 °C under 180 bar oxygen pressure with the flux method. Utilization of the LiCl/KCl flux allowed for a decrease of the reaction temperature from 1000 °C and resulted in the synthesis of pure phase compounds. These materials have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. LnNiO₃ (Ln = Eu and Gd) compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic GdFeO₃-type perovskite structure (space group: Pbnm). Both materials decompose to Ln₂O₃ and NiO at 775 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere and undergo reduction to Ln₂O₃ and Ni metal (at 385 °C and 340 °C for Eu and Gd, respectively) under a hydrogen atmosphere (10% H₂/N₂). Attempts to prepare the first T′-type infinite layer compound with Ni²⁺, EuNiO₂, by low temperature reduction of EuNiO₃ were unsuccessful.     

Synthesis,X-ray Structure and Mass Spectrum of Cs-C60(CF3)6

C_s-C₆₀(CF₃)₆ was synthesized by the reaction of S₆-C₆₀(CF₃)₁₂ with C₆₀ at 530 °C. Its molecular structure with skew-pentagonal- pyramidal addition pattern was elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Theoretical DFT calculations were performed to account for a high degree of fragmentation in negative-ion mass spectra.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of Fe[(Te1.5Se0.5)O5]Cl,the first iron compound with selenate(IV) and tellurate(IV) groups

During the search for selenium analogues of FeTe₂O₅Cl, the new iron (III) tellurate(IV) selenate(IV) chloride with the composition Fe[(Te_1.5Se_0.5)O₅]Cl was synthesized by chemical vapor transport (CVT) reaction and characterized by TGA-, EDX-,SCXRD-analysis, as well as IR and Raman spectroscopy. It was found that Fe[(Te_1.5Se_0.5)O₅]Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with unitcell parameters a = 5.183(3) Å, b = 15.521(9) Å, c = 7.128(5) Å and β = 107.16(1)°. The crystal structure of Fe[(Te_1.5Se_0.5)O₅]Cl represents a new structure type and contains electroneutral heteropolyhedral layers formed by dimers of the [FeO₅Cl]^8– octahedra, linked via common O-O edges, and mixed [Te₃SeO₁₀]^4- tetramers. Adjacent layers are stacked along the b axis and linked by weak residual bonds. The new compound is stable up to 420 °C. DFT calculations predict Fe[(Te_1.5Se_0.5)O₅]Cl to be a wide-gap semiconductor with the band gap of ca. 2.7 eV.     

Dynamic and controlled rate thermal analysis of halotrichite

Three halotrichites namely halotrichite Fe²⁺SO₄·Al₂(SO₄)₃·22H₂O, apjohnite Mn²⁺SO₄·Al₂(SO₄)₃·22H₂O and dietrichite ZnSO₄·Al₂(SO₄)₃·22H₂O, were analysed by both dynamic, controlled rate thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analysis. Because of the time limitation in the controlled rate experiment of 900 min, two experiments were undertaken (a) from ambient to 430 °C and (b) from 430 to 980 °C. For halotrichite in the dynamic experiment mass losses due to dehydration were observed at 80, 102, 319 and 343 °C. Three higher temperature mass losses occurred at 621, 750 and 805 °C. In the controlled rate thermal analysis experiment two isothermal dehydration steps are observed at 82 and 97 °C followed by a non-isothermal dehydration step at 328 °C. For apjohnite in the dynamic experiment mass losses due to dehydration were observed at 99, 116, 256, 271 and 304 °C. Two higher temperature mass losses occurred at 781 and 922 °C. In the controlled rate thermal analysis experiment three isothermal dehydration steps are observed at 57, 77 and 183 °C followed by a non-isothermal dehydration step at 294 °C. For dietrichite in the dynamic experiment mass losses due to dehydration were observed at 115, 173, 251, 276 and 342 °C. One higher temperature mass loss occurred at 746 °C. In the controlled rate thermal analysis experiment two isothermal dehydration steps are observed at 78 and 102 °C followed by three non-isothermal dehydration steps at 228, 243 and 323 °C. In the CRTA experiment a long isothermal step at 636 °C attributed to de-sulphation is observed.     

Low temperature preparation and electric properties of highly (100)-oriented Pb<Subscript>0.8</Subscript> La<Subscript>0.1</Subscript>Ca<Subscript>0.1</Subscript>Ti<Subscript>0.975</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> thin films prepared by a sol–gel route

Highly (100)-oriented Pb_0.8La_0.1Ca_0.1Ti_0.975O₃ (PLCT) thin films deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrate were successfully achieved by a sol–gel route. The influence of annealing temperature on microstructures and electric properties was investigated; it was found that the PLCT film could be crystallized only at 450 °C. When the annealing temperature increased to 500 °C, the PLCT film exhibited highly (100)-oriented, which also possessed higher remnant polarization Pr (27 μC/cm²) and better pyroelectric figure of merit (F _d = 205 μC/m²k) at room temperature. It was also found too high annealing temperature (625 °C) could lead to recrystallization of film, and the small grains caused by recrystallization could make polarization reversal difficult and disturbed the preferred crystal growth in film, which was not benefit to obtain enhanced electric properties.
