Nanocrystalline In2O3-based H2S sensors operable at low temperatures

Nanocrystalline In(2)O(3)-based solid solutions, with different concentration of Co, with cubic structure were successfully prepared by a simple route. The as-prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The indirect heating structure sensors based on pure and doped In(2)O(3) as sensitive materials were fabricated on an alumna tube with Au electrodes and gas-sensing properties of the sensor elements were measured as a function of concentration of dopant, operating temperature and concentrations of the test gases. The results showed that In(2)O(3) had high response towards H(2)S gas at an operating temperature 150 degrees C, while 2.5 wt.% Co-doped In(2)O(3) sensor exhibited enhance response and selectivity to H(2)S at rather lower operating temperature. Incorporation of platinum further improved the response, selectivity and response time towards H(2)S. Platinum incorporated 2.5 wt.% Co-doped In(2)O(3) (Pt: 0.5 wt.%) was able to detect 10-100 ppm of H(2)S in air at an operating temperature of 100 degrees C. The selectivity of the sensor elements for H(2)S against liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), NH(3) and H(2) gases was studied. The improved gas-sensing properties can mainly be attributed to the selectivity to oxidation of H(2)S and noble metal additive sensitization.     

Preparation and bifunctional gas sensing properties of porous In2O3-CeO2 binary oxide nanotubes

The porous binary In(2)O(3)-CeO(2) oxides nanotubes (NTs) in cubic phase were first fabricated by electrospinning (ESP) method and characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS and UV-vis absorption techniques. By adjusting the In(2)O(3) and CeO(2) molar ratio, the out diameters and wall thicknesses of the final composites were tuned ranging of 90-180 nm and 15-9 nm, respectively. The band gap of the binary oxides gradually decreases, and the ratio of Ce(3+) to Ce(4+) increases with the increase of CeO(2), implying that surface oxygen vacancies gradually increase. The gas sensing test reveals that when the content of CeO(2) is appropriate, the as fabricated In(2)O(3)-CeO(2) NTs could be bifunctional gas sensors to detect H(2)S at low temperature(25-110 °C) while acetone at relative high temperature (300 °C). The In(75)Ce(25) NTs sensor is an optimum one, which exhibits the highest response of 498 to H(2)S at 80 °C and the highest response of 30 to acetone at 300 °C. In contrast to the pure In(2)O(3) sensor, the response and recovery times, as well as the sensing reaction barrier height, for In(75)Ce(25) both degrade considerably. The above temperature-dependent sensing properties were attributed to two different gas sensing mechanisms, sulfuration at low temperature and adsorption at high temperature.

Synthesis, characterization, and optical properties of In2O3 semiconductor nanowires

In2O3 semiconductor nanowires were synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition method through carbon thermal reduction at 900 degrees C with 95% Ar and 5% O2 gas flow. The In2O3 nanowires were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). For the first time, we observed the formation of corundum-type h-In2O3 nanowires and branched In2O3 nanowires. The PL spectra of In2O3 nanowires show strong visible red emission at 1.85 eV (670 nm) at low temperature, possibly caused by a small amount of oxygen vacancies in the nanowire crystal structure.

原位FT-IR研究甲烷和氧与SrO-La_2O_3/CaO催化剂表面的相互作用和反应(英文)

用原位FT－IR研究了甲烷和氧与纯CaO,La_2O_3和SrO氧化物以及LC和SLC催化剂的相互作用和反应．当不存在气相氧时,引入的甲烷与表面晶格氧反应生成碳酸盐物种。在室温或高温下,在这些氧化物和催化剂上不能检测到CH_4或O_2的吸附物类。但是,当CH_4和O_2同时存在时,在La_2O_3和LC催化剂上能检测到1118cm~－1的新谱带、这一谱带可能来自于表面碳酸盐在高温下氧气氛中的分解,并可归属为物种。甲烷与这一活性氧物种反应生成C_2H_4。但对SLC催化剂,在高温下不能检测到物种,而甲烷和氧在高温下反应也能产生表面碳酸盐并在气相中形成乙烯,这就表明,气相氧对这些催化剂也起着关键作用,但是在LC和SLC催化剂上甲烷氧化偶联反应可能有本质上的差别。

Comparison of reduction behavior of Fe2O3, ZnO and ZnFe2O4 by TPR technique

Advanced integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power generation systems require the development of high-temperature,regenerable,desulfurization sorbents capable of removing hydrogen sulfide from coal gasifier gas to very low levels.As a sort of effective desufurizer,such as Fe2O3,ZnO and ZnFe2O4,it will endure strong reducing atmosphere in desulfurization process.The reduced degree of desufurizer can have an effect on its desulfurization reactivity.In this paper,Fe2O3,ZnO and ZnFe2O4 were synthesized by precipitation or co-precipitation at constant pH.After aging,washing and drying,the solids were calcined at 800℃.The reduction behaviors of sample were characterized by temperature-programmed reduction (TPR).It is found that there are two reduction peaks for Fe203 in TPR,and whereas no reduction peaks for ZnO are found.The reduction process of ZnFe2O4 prepared by co-precipitation is different from that of Fe2O3.ZnFe2O4 is easier to be reduced than Fe2O3.The activation energy of reduction process for Fe2O3 and ZnFe2O4 is obtained at different reduction periods.     

Infrared identification of matrix isolated H2O.O2

Theoretical studies of the H2O.O2 complex have been carried out over the past decade, but the complex has not previously been experimentally identified. We have assigned IR vibrations from an H2O.O2 complex in an inert rare gas matrix. This identification is based upon theoretical calculations and concentration dependent behavior of absorption bands observed upon co-deposition of H2O and O2 in argon matrixes at 11.5 +/- 0.5 K. To aid assignment, we have used a harmonically coupled anharmonic oscillator local mode model with an ab initio calculated dipole moment function to calculate the OH-stretching and HOH-bending frequencies and intensities in the complex. The high abundance of H2O and O2 makes the H2O.O2 complex likely to be significant in atmospheric and astrophysical chemistry.     

Investigations of V(2)O(5)-based LPG sensors

Sensor characteristics of V(2)O(5) dispersed on oxide supports such as Al(2)O(3), TiO(2) and ZrO(2) with respect to various gases and vapours including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) have been investigated. Of all the systems studied, 20 mol% V(2)O(5) dispersed on ZrO(2) shows the highest sensitivity for LPG, the log sensitivity-log concentration (in ppm) plots being linear up to 1000 ppm or more. The sensitivity is not affected by humidity or recycling. Addition of P(2)O(5) to V(2)O(5) however destroys the sensitivity. Considering all aspects, 20 mol% V(2)O(5)/ZrO(2) is suggested for use as a practical LPG sensor. ESR spectroscopy indicates the formation of V(4+) species on exposure of V(2)O(5)/ZrO(2) or TiO(2) to LPG. In-situ high-temperature x-ray diffraction measurements show the formation of an unusual monoclinic form of VO(2) on exposure to LPG at 625 K which gets oxidized back to V(2)O(5) on exposure to air.     

N2O influence on isotopic measurements of atmospheric CO2

In spite of extensive efforts, even the most experienced laboratories dealing with isotopic measurements of atmospheric CO2 still suffer from poor inter-laboratory consistency. One of the complicating factors of these isotope measurements is the presence of N2O, giving rise to mass overlap in the isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS). The aim of the experiment reported here has been twofold: first, the re-establishment of the correction for 'mechanical' interference of N2O in the IRMS, along with its variability and drift, and the best way to quantitatively determine the correction factors. Second, an investigation into secondary effects, i.e. the influence of N2O admitted with the CO2 sample on the "cross contamination" between sample and (pure CO2) working gas. To make the suspected effects better detectable, isotopically enriched CO2 gas with different concentrations of N2O has been measured for the first time. No evidence of secondary effects was observed, from which we conclude that N2O is not a major player in the inter-laboratory consistency problems. Still, we also found that the determination of the 'mechanical' N2O correction needs to be very carefully determined for each individual IRMS, and should be periodically re-determined. We show that the determination of the correction should be performed using CO2/N2O mixtures with concentration ratios around that of the atmosphere, as the extrapolation from pure gas end member behaviour will give erroneous results due to non-linearities. For our IRMS, a VG SIRA series II, we find a correction of 0.23 per thousand for delta45CO2 and 0.30 per thousand for delta46CO2 of atmospheric samples, (with 0.85 per thousand mixing ratio). This implies that the relative ionisation efficiency (E) value associated with this machine is 0.75.     

Kinetics of the radical-radical reaction, O(3P(J)) + OH(X2Pi omega) --> O2 + H, at temperatures down to 39 K

The kinetics of the reaction between O atoms and OH radicals, both in their electronic ground state, have been investigated at temperatures down to ca. 39 K. The experiments employed a CRESU (Cinétique deRéaction en Ecoulement Supersonique Uniforme) apparatus to attain low temperatures. Both reagents were created using pulsed laser photolysis at 157.6 nm of mixtures containing H2O and O2 diluted in N2 carrier gas. OH radicals were formed by both direct photolysis of H2O and the reaction between O(1D) atoms and H2O. O(3P) atoms were formed both as a direct product of O2 photolysis and by the rapid quenching of O(1D) atoms formed in that photolysis by N2 and O2. The rates of removal of OH radicals were observed by laser-induced fluorescence, and concentrations of O atoms were estimated from a knowledge of the absorption cross-section for O2 at 157.6 nm and of the measured fluence from the F2 laser at this wavelength. To obtain a best estimate of the rate constants for the O + OH reaction, we had to correct the raw experimental data for the following: (a) the decrease in the laser fluence along the jet due to the absorption by O2 in the gas mixture, (b) the increase in temperature, and consequent decrease in gas density, as a result of energy released in the photochemical and chemical processes that occurred, and (c) the formation of OH(v = 0) as a result of relaxation, particularly by O2, of OH radicals formed in levels v > 0. Once these corrections were made, the rate constant for reaction between OH and O(3P) atoms showed little variation in the temperature range of 142 to 39 K and had a value of (3.5 +/- 1.0) x 10(-11) cm3 molecule(-1) s(-1). It is recommended that this value is used in future chemical models of dense interstellar clouds.     

Methods to adjust for the interference of N2O on delta13C and delta18O measurements of CO2 from soil mineralization

In this paper we present an overview of the present knowledge relating to methods that avoid interference of N2O on delta13C and delta18O measurements of CO2. The main focus of research to date has been on atmospheric samples. However, N2O is predominantly generated by soil processes. Isotope analyses related to soil trace gas emissions are often performed with continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometers, which do not necessarily have the high precision needed for atmospheric research. However, it was shown by using laboratory and field samples that a correction to obtain reliable delta13C and delta18O values is also required for a commercial continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometer. The capillary gas chromatography column of the original equipment was changed to a packed Porapak Q column. This adaptation resulted in an improved accuracy and precision of delta13C (standard deviation(Ghent): from 0.2 to 0.08 per thousand; standard deviation(Lincoln): from 0.2 to 0.13 per thousand) of CO2 for N2O/CO2 ratios up to 0.1. For delta18O there was an improvement for the standard deviation measured at Ghent University (0.13 to 0.08 per thousand) but not for the measurements at Lincoln University (0.08 to 0.23 per thousand). The benefits of using the packed Porapak Q column compared with the theoretical correction method meant that samples were not limited to small N(2)O concentrations, they did not require an extra N2O concentration measurement, and measurements were independent of the variable isotopic composition of N2O from soil.

Evaluation of the impact of H2O, O2, and SO2 on postcombustion CO2 capture in metal-organic frameworks

Molecular modeling methods are used to estimate the influence of impurity species: water, O(2), and SO(2) in flue gas mixtures present in postcombustion CO(2) capture using a metal organic framework, HKUST-1, as a model sorbent material. Coordinated and uncoordinated water effects on CO(2) capture are analyzed. Increase of CO(2) adsorption is observed for both cases, which can be attributed to the enhanced binding energy between CO(2) and HKUST-1 due to the introduction of a small amount of water. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the binding energy between CO(2) and HKUST-1 with coordinated water is ~1 kcal/mol higher than that without coordinated water. It is found that the improvement of CO(2)/N(2) selectivity induced by coordinated water may mainly be attributed to the increased CO(2) adsorption on the hydrated HKUST-1. On the other hand, the enhanced selectivity induced by uncoordinated water in the flue gas mixture can be explained on the basis of the competition of adsorption sites between water and CO(2) (N(2)). At low pressures, a significant CO(2)/N(2) selectivity increase is due to the increase of CO(2) adsorption and decrease of N(2) adsorption as a consequence of competition of adsorption sites between water and N(2). However, with more water molecules adsorbed at higher pressures, the competition between water and CO(2) leads to the decrease of CO(2) adsorption capacity. Therefore, high pressure operation should be avoided in HKUST-1 sorbents for CO(2) capture. In addition, the effects of O(2) and SO(2) on CO(2) capture in HKUST-1 are investigated: The CO(2)/N(2) selectivity does not change much even with relatively high concentrations of O(2) in the flue gas (up to 8%). A slightly lower CO(2)/N(2) selectivity of a CO(2)/N(2)/H(2)O/SO(2) mixture is observed compared with that in a CO(2)/N(2)/H(2)O mixture, especially at high pressures, due to the strong SO(2) binding with HKUST-1.     

Chlorodifluoroacetyl cyanide, ClF2CC(O)CN: synthesis, structure, and spectroscopic characterization

The novel molecule difluorochloroacetyl cyanide, ClF(2)CC(O)CN, has been characterized by IR (gas phase, Ar matrix), Raman (liquid), (19)F and (13)C NMR, and photoelectron (PES) spectroscopies; photoionization mass spectrometry (PIMS); and gas electron diffraction (GED). The conformational properties of ClF(2)CC(O)CN have been studied by joint application of vibrational spectroscopy, GED, and quantum chemical calculations. The existence of two conformers is detected in the gas and liquid phases, in which the C-Cl bond adopts gauche and syn orientations with respect to the C═O group. The computed enthalpy difference is in harmony with the experimental results of the gauche being more stable than the syn conformer by ΔH° = 1.3 kcal mol(-1) (MP2/cc-pVTZ). The valence electronic properties and the possible ionization and dissociation processes of the title compound are studied using the PES and PIMS. The experimental first vertical ionization energy of 12.0 eV corresponds to the ejection of an electron of the oxygen lone pairs. Taking into account the properties and broad applications of acyl cyanides, ClF(2)CC(O)CN is a promising new precursor in preparative chemistry.     

Photooxidation of polystyrene by O2 and N2O

Strips of polystyrene held in a flowing O₂ or N₂O atmosphere have been exposed to 240-600 nm radiation. The extent of photooxidation has been followed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Although N₂O is a more reactive gas than O₂, it produces a less oxidized polymer surface. This surprising observation can be correlated to the photochemistry occurring at the gas/polystyrene interface. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

An infrared study of co-adsorption of N2O and CO on ZnO

The absorption of N(2)O and CO at room temperature on finely divided ZnO surfaces gives reversible absorption bands from surface N(2)O species in the 2237-2245, 2265-2285 and 1245-1255 cm(-1) regions. The growth of the first band is at the expense of the second while its intensity and position depends on the extent of the surface carbonate, formed by the oxidation of CO by N(2)O. The order of introduction of CO and N(2)O, and whether the ZnO surface is oxidised or reduced, gave significantly different results in terms of carbonate formation. The strongest carbonate formation and implied decomposition of N(2)O, occurs at room temperature when CO is added to preadsorbed N(2)O on an oxidised ZnO surface. A single bidentate carbonate is formed under these conditions but on heating in the gas mixture to 200 degrees C an additional, possibly monodentate, carbonate occurs together with a surface formate species.     

Gas Sensing Properties of Co3O4-loaded SnO2 to Ethanol and Acetone

A series of Co3O4-loaded SnO2 nanocomposite thick films were prepared by grinding, screen-printing and sintering at 700 ±C for 3 h. XRD data showed the nanocomposite thick films were rutile structure of SnO2 and cubic Co3O4. The composite films were found to exhibit good response to alcohol and acetone at 300 ±C. The film went through a sharp sensitivity maximum at 5 mol%CoO4=3 with a change in Co3O4 content. At 300 ±C, the maximum sensor response to alcohol and acetone, each 1000 ppm in air, was 301 and 235, respectively, which was about 7 and 5 times as large as that of the pure SnO2 respectively. The selectivity to alcohol and acetone over H2 and CO also was promoted by the addition of Co3O4 to SnO2. The mechanism of such strong promotion of sensor response (electronic sensitization) is discussed.
