NiFe双氢纳米粒子有效提高BiVO4光阳极光电化学水分解性能

近年来, 太阳能驱动的光电化学水分解作为一种高效、环保、可持续的技术, 已经引起了广泛的关注. 为了更好地使用光电化学技术将太阳能转化为化学能, 至关重要的是提高光电极材料的光吸收和光转化效率. BiVO4禁带宽度(Eg=2.4-2.5 eV)小, 具有很好的可见光响应能力, 因此BiVO4光电极材料引起了广泛关注. 但是, 当单独BiVO4作为光电阳极材料时, 电子-空穴对分离弱、载流子传输慢, 从而使BiVO4不能很好地在光电化学水分解中发挥作用. 为了缓解或解决此类限制性因素, 本课题组通过水热法合成了NiFe双氢纳米粒子, 并将其负载于BiVO4电极表面, 光电催化分解水实验表明其产氢效率得到大幅度提高. 同时制备了Ni(OH)2/BiVO4和Fe(OH)2/BiVO4电极并用于研究NiFe/BiVO4电极的反应机理. 在上文基础上, 本文采用电子扫描电镜(SEM)、高分辨投射电镜(HRTEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、紫外可见漫反射(UV-Vis DRS)等表征手段和线性扫描伏安法(LSV)和电流时间(I-t)等对其光电化学活性进行了测试, 研究了NiFe/BiVO4电极在发生水氧化时的反应机理. SEM结果表明, Ni(OH)2是以纳米片组成的纳米球负载于多孔BiVO4表面; 而当Fe(OH)2负载于BiVO4表面时, BiVO4的纳米尺寸减小; NiFe-LDH纳米粒子负载于BiVO4表面时, 可以明显看见BiVO4纳米颗粒表面包裹着一层更小的纳米粒子.这证明了Ni(OH)2, Fe(OH)2和NiFe-LDH纳米粒子均成功负载于BiVO4表面. 这也得到HRTEM结果的确认. UV-Vis DRS结果表明NiFe-LDH纳米粒子能有效拓宽BiVO4的吸收边, 从而增加对可见光的吸收, 增加了对光的利用率. LSV测试结果表明, 暗反应条件下Ni(OH)2/BiVO4比NiFe/BiVO4和Fe(OH)2/BiVO4电极的起始电位更低, 说明Ni(OH)2有更好的传输电子性能; 而在光照条件下, 在同一电位时NiFe/BiVO4比Ni(OH)2/BiVO4和Fe(OH)2/BiVO4电极的光电流值更高. 值得注意的是, 此时Ni(OH)2/BiVO4比Fe(OH)2/BiVO4电极的光电流值低, 这又说明Fe(OH)2比Ni(OH)2对光更敏感. 因此当NiFe-LDH纳米粒子负载于BiVO4表面时, 不仅提高了BiVO4光电极的光吸收效率, 而且加速了载流子的传输从而抑制了光生电子-空穴的复合, 使反应过程中的量子效率得到提高.     

NiFe双氢纳米粒子有效提高BiVO_4光阳极光电化学水分解性能（英文）

近年来,太阳能驱动的光电化学水分解作为一种高效、环保、可持续的技术,已经引起了广泛的关注.为了更好地使用光电化学技术将太阳能转化为化学能,至关重要的是提高光电极材料的光吸收和光转化效率.BiVO_4禁带宽度(Eg=2.4–2.5 eV)小,具有很好的可见光响应能力,因此BiVO_4光电极材料引起了广泛关注.但是,当单独BiVO_4作为光电阳极材料时,电子-空穴对分离弱、载流子传输慢,从而使BiVO_4不能很好地在光电化学水分解中发挥作用.为了缓解或解决此类限制性因素,本课题组通过水热法合成了NiFe双氢纳米粒子,并将其负载于BiVO_4电极表面,光电催化分解水实验表明其产氢效率得到大幅度提高.同时制备了Ni(OH)_2/BiVO_4和Fe(OH)2/BiVO_4电极并用于研究NiFe/BiVO_4电极的反应机理.在上文基础上,本文采用电子扫描电镜(SEM)、高分辨投射电镜(HRTEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、紫外可见漫反射(UV-Vis DRS)等表征手段和线性扫描伏安法(LSV)和电流时间(I-t)等对其光电化学活性进行了测试,研究了NiFe/BiVO_4电极在发生水氧化时的反应机理.SEM结果表明,Ni(OH)_2是以纳米片组成的纳米球负载于多孔BiVO_4表面;而当Fe(OH)2负载于BiVO_4表面时,BiVO_4的纳米尺寸减小;NiFe-LDH纳米粒子负载于BiVO_4表面时,可以明显看见BiVO_4纳米颗粒表面包裹着一层更小的纳米粒子.这证明了Ni(OH)_2,Fe(OH)2和NiFe-LDH纳米粒子均成功负载于BiVO_4表面.这也得到HRTEM结果的确认.UV-Vis DRS结果表明NiFe-LDH纳米粒子能有效拓宽BiVO_4的吸收边,从而增加对可见光的吸收,增加了对光的利用率.LSV测试结果表明,暗反应条件下Ni(OH)_2/BiVO_4比NiFe/BiVO_4和Fe(OH)2/BiVO_4电极的起始电位更低,说明Ni(OH)_2有更好的传输电子性能;而在光照条件下,在同一电位时NiFe/BiVO_4比Ni(OH)_2/BiVO_4和Fe(OH)2/BiVO_4电极的光电流值更高.值得注意的是,此时Ni(OH)_2/BiVO_4比Fe(OH)2/BiVO_4电极的光电流值低,这又说明Fe(OH)2比Ni(OH)_2对光更敏感.因此当NiFe-LDH纳米粒子负载于BiVO_4表面时,不仅提高了BiVO_4光电极的光吸收效率,而且加速了载流子的传输从而抑制了光生电子-空穴的复合,使反应过程中的量子效率得到提高     

邻菲啰啉计算光度法同时测定生物浸出样品中Fe(Ⅱ)和Fe(Ⅲ)

邻菲啰啉光度法常用于Fe(Ⅱ)测定,但受到试样中Fe(Ⅲ)对测定的影响,因此不能直接用于生物浸出样品中Fe(Ⅱ)和Fe(Ⅲ)的同时测定.为此,基于Fe(Ⅱ)邻菲啰啉特征吸收曲线以及混合铁中Fe(Ⅲ)对Fe(Ⅱ)测定的线性影响关系,建立了基于Fe(Ⅱ)和全铁同时测定Fe(Ⅱ)和Fe(Ⅲ)的计算光度法,并研究了生物浸出样品中典型金属离子(Cu2+、Ni2+、Cd2+、Co2+)以及试样溶解与储放对测定的影响.方法可准确地测定含铁次生矿物和生物浸出液中铁价态组成,应用于生物浸出矿渣、细胞表面中常量或微量的Fe(Ⅱ)和Fe(Ⅲ)组成分析,具有简便快速的特点.

Potentiometric determination of iron with DTPA in the presence of a large amount of aluminium

Potentiometric determination of iron with DTPA at pH 1.6 (platinum and calomel electrodes) permits determination of iron in the presence of aluminium up to an Al:Fe ratio of 70. Aluminium is determined indirectly by addition of excess of DCTA, adjustment to pH 5, and back-titration with iron(III) chloride.     

Fenton chemistry of 1,3-dimethyluracil

Hydroxyl radicals were generated in the Fenton reaction at pH 4 (Fe(2+) + H(2)O(2) --> Fe(3+) + .OH + OH-, k approximately equal to 60 L mol(-1) s(-1)) and by pulse radiolysis (for the determination of kinetic data). They react rapidly with 1,3-dimethyluracil, 1,3-DMU (k = 6 x 10(9) L mol(-1) s(-1)). With H(2)O(2) in excess and in the absence of O(2), 1,3-DMU consumption is 3.3 mol per mol Fe(2+). 1,3-DMUglycol is the major product (2.95 mol per mol Fe(2+)). Dimers, prominent products of .OH-induced reactions in the absence of Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) (Al-Sheikhly, M.; von Sonntag, C. Z. Naturforsch. 1983, 31b, 1622) are not formed. Addition of .OH to the C(5)-C(6) double bond of 1,3-DMU yields reducing C(6)-yl 1 and oxidizing C(5)-yl radicals 2 in a 4:1 ratio. The yield of reducing radicals was determined with tetranitromethane by following the buildup of nitroform anion. Reaction of 1 with Fe(3+) that builds up during the reaction or with H(2)O(2) gives rise to a short-chain reaction that is terminated by the reaction of Fe(2+) with 2, which re-forms 1,3-DMU. In the presence of O(2), 1.1 mol of 1,3-DMU and 0.6 mol of O(2) are consumed per mol Fe(2+) while 0.16 mol of 1,3-DMU-glycol and 0.17 mol of organic hydroperoxides (besides further unidentified products) are formed. In the presence of O(2), 1 and 2 are rapidly converted into the corresponding peroxyl radicals (k = 9.1 x 10(8) L mol(-1) s(-1)). Their bimolecular decay (2k = 1.1 x 10(9) L mol(-1) s(-1)) yields approximately 22% HO(2)./O(2).(-) in the course of fragmentation reactions involving the C(5)-C(6) bond. Reduction of Fe(3+) by O(2).(-) leads to an increase in .OH production that is partially offset by a consumption of Fe(2+) in its reaction with the peroxyl radicals (formation of organic hydroperoxides, k approximately 3 x 10(5) L mol(-1) s(-1); value derived by computer simulation).     

Gaseous rust: thermochemistry of neutral and ionic iron oxides and hydroxides in the gas phase

The experimental and theoretical thermochemistry of the gaseous neutral and ionic iron oxides and hydroxides FeO, FeOH, FeO(2), OFeOH, and Fe(OH)(2) and of the related cationic water complexes Fe(H(2)O)(+), (H(2)O)FeOH(+), and Fe(H(2)O)(2)(+) is analyzed comprehensively. A combination of data for the neutral species with those of the gaseous ions in conjunction with some additional measurements provides a refined and internally consistent compilation of thermochemical data for the neutral and ionic species. In terms of heats of formation at 0 K, the best estimates for the gaseous, mononuclear FeO(m)H(n)(-/0/+/2+) species with m = 1, 2 and n = 0-4 are Delta(f)H(FeO(-)) = (108 +/- 6) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H(FeO) = (252 +/- 6) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H(FeO(+)) = (1088 +/- 6) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H(FeOH) = (129 +/- 15) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H(FeOH(+)) = (870 +/- 15) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H(FeO(2)(-)) = (-161 +/- 13) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H(FeO(2)) = (67 +/- 12) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H(FeO(2)(+)) = (1062 +/- 25) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H(OFeOH) = (-84 +/- 17) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H(OFeOH(+)) = (852 +/- 23) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H(Fe(OH)(2)(-)) = -431 kJ/mol, Delta(f)H(Fe(OH)(2)) = (-322 +/- 2) kJ/mol, and Delta(f)H(Fe(OH)(2)(+)) = (561 +/- 10) kJ/mol for the iron oxides and hydroxides as well as Delta(f)H(Fe(H(2)O)(+)) = (809 +/- 5) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H((H(2)O)FeOH(+)) = 405 kJ/mol, and Delta(f)H(Fe(H(2)O)(2)(+)) = (406 +/- 6) kJ/mol for the cationic water complexes. In addition, charge-stripping data for several of several-iron-containing cations are re-evaluated due to changes in the calibration scheme which lead to Delta(f)H(FeO(2+)) = (2795 +/- 28) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H(FeOH(2+)) = (2447 +/- 30) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H(Fe(H(2)O)(2+)) = (2129 +/- 29) kJ/mol, Delta(f)H((H(2)O)FeOH(2+)) = 1864 kJ/mol, and Delta(f)H(Fe(H(2)O)(2)(2+)) = (1570 +/- 29) kJ/mol, respectively. The present compilation thus provides an almost complete picture of the redox chemistry of mononuclear iron oxides and hydroxides in the gas phase, which serves as a foundation for further experimental studies and may be used as a benchmark database for theoretical studies.     

Solution equilibria in l-glutamic acid and l-serine + iron(III) systems

Complex formation equilibria in l-glutamic acid (H2Glu) and l-serine (HSer) +iron(III) ion systems have been studied by a combination of glass electrode potentiometric and visible spectrophotometric measurements in 0.5 mol dm–3 (Na)NO3 ionic medium at 25°C. In the concentration range 1.0[Fe3+]5.0; 3.0[Glu2–]30.0 mmol dm–3 ([Glu]/[Fe]=3:1 to 30:1) and pH between 1.5 and 4.5, iron(III) and glutamic acid form the Fe(Glu)–2, Fe(Glu)+, Fe(HGlu)2+, Fe(OH)Glu, Fe2(OH)2Glu2+, Fe(OH)Glu22– complexes: and several pure hydrolytic products. Iron(III) and l-serine, beside pure hydrolytic complexes of iron(III), form the Fe(HSer)3+, Fe(Ser)2+, Fe(OH)Ser+, Fe(OH)2- Ser0, Fe(OH)Ser2 and Fe2(OH)2(Ser)2+2 complexes, over a broad concentration range of serine to iron ([Ser]/[Fe]=5:1 to 500:1), from pH 1.5 to 4.0. The stability constants of the complexes are given and their formation mechanism is suggested. The possible structure of the complexes, in solution, is discussed.

Regularities of formation of iron(III) nanocrystalline oxides and oxyhydroxides during oxidation of iron(II) compounds in an alkaline medium

Regularities of formation of nanocrystalline iron(III) oxides and oxyhydroxides via oxidation of iron(II) compounds in an alkaline pH range (pH ≥ 12) were studied using pH and E _h measurements, chemical analysis, electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. When the molar ratio [OH⁻]/[Fe^II] ∼ 2 (pH ∼ 12–12.5), the oxidation process yields cube-shaped magnetite Fe₃O₄ particles. An excess of an alkaline agent with an overstoichiometric concentration equal to or higher than 0.5 mol/L (pH ≥ 13.5) induces the formation of anisotropic particles of nanocrystalline goethite α-FeOOH over the entire range of the synthesis parameters studied. Reaction products (Fe₃O₄ and/or α-FeOOH) are formed immediately as the initial Fe(OH)₂ starts oxidizing by the dissolution-oxidation-precipitation mechanism near the surface of Fe(OH)₂ precursor particles. Carbonate ions considerably change the structure and shape of newly formed α-FeOOH particles.     

Trace Analysis of Iron in Environmental Water and Snow Samples from Poland

Abstract

A voltammetric method for the determination of iron at detection limit of 4 μg/l is described, using the catalytic current of the reduction of the Fe(III)-triethanolamine (TEA) complex in the presence of bromate ions. the determination was performed at a mercury hanging drop electrode without preconcentration, using the TEA alkaline solution as a supporting electrolyte and the differential pulse technique. A peak current for the Fe(III)-TEA catalytic reduction was observed at a potential of-1.0 V (Ag/AgCl saturated electrode). the influence of TEA, BrO³ and NaOH concentrations on the peak height was studied. It was found that a 100-fold excess of Mn, a 50-fold excess of Cr(VI) and Zn did not interfere in the determination. This method was applied to the determination of iron in water, snow and waste water samples.     

An Experimental Study of the Influence of Weak Convection on Perikinetic Coagulation

Divalent cobalt and iron removal from aqueous solutions by batch ion exchange with a synthetic Na-Y zeolite has been studied under competitive and noncompetitive conditions. The binary Co/Na and Fe/Na ion-exchange equilibrium isotherms, constructed at 291+/-2 K and a total solution positive charge concentration of 0.1 eq dm(-3), exhibited sigmoidal shapes that are attributed to an exchange site heterogeneity. The solution pH and the ratio of sorbate to sorbent are identified for which minimal imbibition of metal hydroxide and maintenance of zeolite structural integrity are ensured. An increase in Fe and Co concentration over the range 0.005-0.05 mol dm(-3) lowered the removal efficiency but the external Fe was preferred to the indigenous sodium over the entire concentration range; there was a switch in preference from Co to Na at [Co] in excess of 0.034 mol dm(-3). Exchange data for Cu(2+)/Na(+) and Ni(2+)/Na(+) binary systems are included for comparative purposes, and ion exchange affinity and Na-Y exchange capacity are discussed in terms of metal ion hydration and ion location. The effect of exchange temperature has been considered where the maximal Fe exchange was temperature independent while Co exchange was promoted with increasing temperature. A Co/Fe/Na-Y ternary exchange isotherm was constructed from 20 pairs of experimental points and is treated quantitatively in terms of ternary and pseudo-binary separation factors. The preference of the zeolite for exchange with iron over cobalt under noncompetitive conditions also extended to solutions containing both metals. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

Monomeric MnIII/II and FeIII/II complexes with terminal hydroxo and oxo ligands: probing reactivity via O-H bond dissociation energies

Non-heme manganese and iron complexes with terminal hydroxo or oxo ligands are proposed to mediate the transfer of hydrogen atoms in metalloproteins. To investigate this process in synthetic systems, the monomeric complexes [M(III/II)H(3)1(OH)](-/2-) and [M(III)H(3)1(O)](2-) have been prepared, where M(III/II) = Mn and Fe and [H(3)1](3-) is the tripodal ligand, tris[(N'-tert-butylureaylato)-N-ethyl)]aminato. These complexes have similar primary and secondary coordination spheres, which are enforced by [H(3)1](3-). The homolytic bond dissociation energies (BDEs(O-H)) for the M(III/II)-OH complexes were determined, using experimentally obtained values for the pK(a)(M-OH) and E(1/2) measured in DMSO. This thermodynamic analysis gave BDEs(O-H) of 77(4) kcal/mol for [Mn(II)H(3)1(O-H)](2-) and 66(4) kcal/mol for [Fe(II)H(3)1(O-H)](2-). For the M(III)-OH complexes, [Mn(III)H(3)1(OH)]- and [Fe(III)H(3)1(OH)]-, BDEs(O-H) of 110(4) and 115(4) kcal/mol were obtained. These BDEs(O-H) were verified with reactivity studies with substrates having known X-H bond energies (X = C, N, O). For instance, [Fe(II)H(3)1(OH)](2-) reacts with a TEMPO radical to afford [Fe(III)H(3)1(O)](2-) and TEMPO-H in isolated yields of 60 and 75%, respectively. Consistent with the BDE(O-H) values for [Mn(II)H(3)1(OH)](2-), TEMPO does not react with this complex, yet TEMPO-H (BDE(O-H) = 70 kcal/mol) reacts with [Mn(III)H(3)1(O)](2-), forming TEMPO and [Mn(II)H(3)1(OH)](2-). [Mn(III)H(3)1(O)](2-) and [Fe(III)H(3)1(O)](2-) react with other organic substrates containing C-H bonds less than 80 kcal/mol, including 9,10-dihydroanthracene and 1,4-cyclohexadiene to produce [M(II)H(3)1(OH)](2-) and the appropriate dehydrogenated product in yields of greater than 80%. Treating [Mn(III)H(3)1(O)](2-) and [Fe(III)H(3)1(O)](2-) with phenolic compounds does not yield the product expected from hydrogen atom transfer but rather the protonated complexes, [Mn(III)H(3)1(OH)]- and [Fe(III)H(3)1(OH)]-, which is ascribed to the highly basic nature of the terminal oxo group.
