Isomorphism of bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)zinc(II) adduct with pyridine, [Zn(Py)(EDtc)2]: hysteresis in the reaction of the adduct formation

The structure of the polycrystalline adduct bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)-pyridine zinc(II) depends on the pathway of physico-chemical conditions during the preparation procedure, as was revealed by solid state ¹⁵N CP/MAS spectroscopy in good correlation with known single crystal X-ray diffraction structures of this adduct. Two isomorphs of the adduct, namely α-[Zn(Py)(S₂CNEt₂)₂] and β-[Zn(Py)(S₂CNEt₂)₂], are the two molecules in the asymmetric unit of a single crystal (or polycrystalline) sample that can be obtained by recrystallization from toluene of the equimolar solution of the initial diethyldithiocarbamate zinc(II) complex and pyridine. The third isomorph, γ-[Zn(Py)(S₂CNEt₂)₂], can be obtained by recrystallization from pure pyridine of the diethyldithiocarbamate zinc(II) complex, or by its equimolar absorption of pyridine, or by desorption of pyridine from the clathrated adduct, [Zn(Py)(S₂CNEt₂)₂]·Py. Finally, the γ-[Zn(Py)(S₂CNEt₂)₂] isomorph recrystallizes from the melt into α/β-isomorphs of the adduct.     

Parameters controlling the photocatalytic performance of ZnO/Hombikat TiO2 composites

Commercial TiO₂ (Hombikat, UV-100) was impregnated with different loadings of zinc nitrate solution and subsequently calcined at different temperatures in order to obtain a stable homogeneous solid composite of ZnO/TiO₂. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), UV-vis and Raman spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) as well as N₂ adsorption and desorption measurements. Results show that ZnO was incorporated within the TiO₂ crystals and did not form a separate bulky phase or metallic zinc. Moreover, the calcination temperature dramatically modifies the texture properties of the prepared samples compared with original Hombikat TiO₂. The photocatalytic performance of the prepared samples was evaluated by monitoring the degradation of methyl orange dye under black light illumination. Three main parameters were studied; ZnO loading, surface area and initial pH of the methyl orange solution. The variation in ZnO loading appears to have less influence on the catalytic activity than either the surface area or the pH.     

Electrodeposition of Zn–TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanocomposite films—effect of bath composition

Zn–TiO₂ nanocomposite films were prepared by pulsed electrodeposition from acidic zinc sulphate solutions on a Ti support. The influence on the composite structural and morphological characteristics of Zn²⁺ and TiO₂ concentrations in the deposition bath has been investigated. The characterisation of the samples was made by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). For all the obtained coatings, the anatase and rutile phases’ most intense diffraction lines were observed between 24° and 28° 2θ, confirming the formation of the Zn–TiO₂ nanocomposite. X-ray diffraction data show that the presence of the TiO₂ nanoparticles plays a remarkable influence on the preferred orientation of the metal matrix. For the more diluted solution, a dependence between the metallic matrix grain size and the concentration of TiO₂ in bath is observed. The grain size decreases with the increasing on the nanoparticle amounts. The SEM results for Zn and Zn–TiO₂ deposits indicate that the nanoparticles have a strong influence on the deposit surface morphology, which is caused by the changes on the deposition mechanism.     

Die Kristallstruktur der Verbindung Li3Zn0,5GeO4

The crystal structure of the compound Li₃Zn_0.5GeO₄ has been determined and refined by means of three-dimensionalFourier syntheses and least squares. Li₃Zn_0.5GeO₄ crystallizes orthorhombic with space groupD _2h ¹⁶ -Pmnb (No. 62) and the lattice parametersa=6.29,b=10.74 andc=5.17 Å. The crystal structure consists of isolated [GeO₄] tetrahedra, which are linked together by [(Li,Zn)O₄] tetrahedra analogous to Li₃PO₄(h). An additional eight-fold position is partly occupied by two lithium atoms. The occupancy of this position may vary according to the observed range of composition, which lies between Li_3.8Zn_0.1GeO₄ and Li_2.6Zn_0.7GeO₄.

     

The effect of TiO2 on the structure and devitrification behavior of potassium titanium germanate glass

The effect of replacing 20 mol% of GeO₂ by TiO₂ on the properties of potassium germanate glass was investigated. The structure and devitrification behaviour of glasses were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was observed that potassium titanium germanate has a higher glass transition temperature and a higher thermal stability vs. crystallization. The presence of two exothermic peaks on the DTA curve of potassium germanate glass indicates the complex crystallization process. The XRD pattern of this glass heated at the temperature of the first crystallization peak indicated that the GeO₂ and K₂Ge₇O₁₅ were formed. Only the K₂TiGe₃O₉ phase was identified, in a case when potassium titanium germanate glass was heated at the temperature of the crystallization peak.     

Phase diagram, crystal chemistry and thermoelectric properties of compounds in the Ca-Co-Zn-O system

In the Ca-Co-Zn-O system, we have determined the tie-line relationships and the thermoelectric properties, solid solution limits, and structures of two low-dimensional cobaltite series, Ca₃(Co, Zn)₄O_9−z and Ca₃(Co,Zn)₂O_6−z at 885 °C in air. In Ca₃(Co,Zn)₄O_9−z, which has a misfit layered structure, Zn was found to substitute in the Co site to a limit of Ca₃(Co_3.8Zn_0.2)O_9−z. The compound Ca₃(Co,Zn)₂O_6−z (n=1 member of the homologous series, Ca_n+2(Co,Z_n)_n(Co,Zn)′O_3n+3−z) consists of one-dimensional parallel (Co,Zn)₂O₆⁶⁻ chains that are built from successive alternating face-sharing (Co,Zn)O₆ trigonal prisms and ‘n’ units of (Co,Zn)O₆ octahedra along the hexagonal c-axis. Zn substitutes in the Co site of Ca₃Co₂O₆ to a small amount of approximately Ca₃(Co_1.95Zn_0.05)O_6−z. In the ZnO-CoO_z system, Zn substitutes in the tetrahedral Co site of Co₃O₄ to the maximum amount of (Co_2.49Zn_0.51)O_4−z and Co substitutes in the Zn site of ZnO to (Zn_0.94Co_0.06)O. The crystal structures of (Co_2.7Zn_0.3)O_4−z, (Zn_0.94Co_0.06)O, and Ca₃(Co_1.95 Zn_0.05)O_6−z are described. Despite the Ca₃(Co, Zn)₂O_6−z series having reasonably high Seebeck coefficients and relatively low thermal conductivity, the electrical resistivity values of its members are too high to achieve high figure of merit, ZT.     

A comparison of the clinopyroxene compounds CaZnSi2O6 and CaZnGe2O6

Single crystals of CaZnSi₂O₆ (calcium zinc silicate) and CaZnGe₂O₆ (calcium zinc germanate) were synthesized at 1623 K and 2.5 GPa by slow cooling of the melts from 1473 K. Structure solution using Patterson methods revealed the two compounds to be isomorphous and thus isostructural. They adopt the clinopyroxene structure type with space group C2/c. The substitution of Ge⁴⁺ for Si⁴⁺ increases the distortion of the tetrahedra and octahedra. The increased size of the tetrahedral GeO₄ chain is mainly compensated by (i) increasing the kinking of the tetrahedral chain and (ii) lengthening the Zn—O bonds.     

SiO2 nanospheres with tailorable interiors by directly controlling Zn and NH3·H2O species in an emulsion process

SiO₂ nanospheres with tailorable interiors were synthesized by a facile one-spot microemulsion process using TEOS as silica source, wherein cyclohexane including triton X-100 and n-octanol as oil phase and Zn²⁺ or NH₃·H₂O aqueous solution as dispersive phase, respectively. The products were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy and X-ray Powder Diffraction. It was suggested that the as-synthesized silica nanospheres possessed grape-stone-like porous or single hollow interior, and also found that the ammonia dosage and aging time played key roles in controlling the size and structure of silica nanospheres. Furthermore, the comparative results confirmed that in-situ zinc species [ZnO/Zn(OH)₂] acted as the temporary templates to construct grape-stone-like interior, and a simultaneously competing etching process occurred owing to the soluble Zn(NH₃)₄²⁺ complex formation while the additional excessive ammonia was introduced. With the aging time being extended, the in-situ nanocrystals tended to grow into bigger ones by Ostwald Ripening, producing single hollow interior.

Preparation and photocatalytic activity of ZnO/TiO2/SnO2 mixture

ZnO/TiO₂/SnO₂ mixture was prepared by mixing its component solid oxides ZnO, TiO₂ and SnO₂ in the molar ratio of 4?1?1, followed by calcining the solid mixture at 200-1300 °C. The products and solid-state reaction process during the calcinations were characterized with powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurement of specific surface area. Neither solid-state reaction nor change of crystal phase composition took place among the ZnO, TiO₂ and SnO₂ powders on the calcinations up to 600 °C. However, formation of the inverse spinel Zn₂TiO₄ and Zn₂SnO₄ was detected at 700-900 and 1100-1200 °C, respectively. Further increase of the calcination temperature enabled the mixture to form a single-phase solid solution Zn₂Ti_0.5Sn_0.5O₄ with an inverse spinel structure in the space group of . The ZnO/TiO₂/SnO₂ mixture was photocatalytically active for the degradation of methyl orange in water; its photocatalytic mass activity was 16.4 times that of SnO₂, 2.0 times that of TiO₂, and 0.92 times that of ZnO after calcination at 500 °C for 2 h. But, the mass activity of the mixture decreased with increasing the calcination temperature at above 700 °C because of the formation of the photoinactive Zn₂TiO₄, Zn₂SnO₄ and Zn₂Ti_0.5Sn_0.5O₄. The sample became completely inert for the photocatalysis after prolonged calcination at 1300 °C (42 h), since all of the active component oxides were reacted to form the solid solution Zn₂Ti_0.5Sn_0.5O₄ with no photocatalytic activity.     

A chemical route for the synthesis of cubic bismuth zinc niobate pyrochlore nanopowders

Cubic bismuth zinc niobate pyrochlore (base composition (Bi_1.5Zn_0.5)(Zn_0.5Nb_1.5)O₇) powders were successfully prepared by a chemical method. The formation mechanism of the pyrochlore phase was investigated by TG-DSC, FT-IR, Raman, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The optical bandgap for the powders treated at temperatures ranging from 500 to 700 °C is 3.0-3.1 eV, indicating low crystallization temperature for the pyrochlore phase. No detectable intermediary phases as BiNbO₄ or a pseudo-orthorhombic pyrochlore were observed at any time and the cubic-BZN phase was already formed after thermal treatment at temperatures as low as 500 °C. The phase formation study reveals that a well-crystallized single-phased nanopowder is obtained after calcination at 700 °C, indicating that the chemical synthesis conferred a higher chemical homogeneity and reactivity on the powder, modifying the crystallization mechanism.

Ti3C2Tx/MnO2正极在水系锌电池中的电化学性能

二氧化锰(MnO₂)材料具有比容量大、电极电位高、储量丰富以及价格低廉等优势,成为水系锌电池正极最受关注的一类材料,然而其仍然存在着结构稳定性差和电化学储存机理复杂的问题。因此,我们通过两步合成法制备了一种花苞状结构的MnO₂负载在Ti₃C₂T_x表面形成Ti₃C₂T_x/MnO₂复合材料,通过X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和高分辨透射电子显微镜(HRTEM)对复合样品的结构、成分和形貌进行表征。通过将Ti₃C₂T_x/MnO₂复合材料作为正极,与锌负极匹配组装成水系锌电池,研究了其分别在2 mol·L^-1 ZnSO₄、2 mol·L^-1 ZnSO₄+0.1 mol·L^-1 MnSO₄、30 mol·L^-1三氟甲基磺酸四乙基铵(TEAOTf)+1 mol·L^-1三氟甲烷磺酸锌(ZnOTf)和3 mol·L^-1 ZnOTf四种电解液中的电化学性能。结果表明,Ti₃C₂T_x/MnO₂在2 mol·L^-1 ZnSO₄中的比容量较高,但循环稳定性很差。将TEAOTf盐和ZnOTf盐共溶于水中,设计了一种新型的含惰性阳离子的超高浓度盐包水电解液(30 mol·L^-1 TEAOTf+1 mol·L^-1 ZnOTf),不仅提高了Ti₃C₂T_x/MnO₂材料的可逆性,而且有效抑制了电极材料在循环过程中的溶解。
