Theoretical study on collision dynamics of H+ + H2O at low energies

Scattering dynamics of a water molecule in collision with proton is studied based on a time-dependent density functional theory and coupled with the molecular dynamics method, in which the electrons are described by quantum mechanics and the nuclei are described by classical mechanics. Four different incident directions at 46 eV are chosen in order to investigate the orientations effect, and the energy-dependent effect in low energy region is explored under impact energies 27, 36 and 46 eV. Reaction channels, scattering angles and energy loss of protons are calculated. The differences between those characteristics are unobvious in large impact parameters, which are irrespective of the incident orientations due to weak projectile-target interaction. In small impact parameters, the results strongly depend on the collision energy and orientation.     

Electrical conductivity of BaCe0.9Nd0.1O3−α in H2+H2O+Ar gas mixture

Electroconductivity of BaCe_0.9Nd_0.1O_3−α was studied as a function of the composition of the H₂+H₂O+Ar mixture and temperature in the interval from 873 to 1173 K. It was shown that the electroconductivity was independent of P_H2 (0.97 to 0.10 atm) and P_O2 (10⁻²¹ to 10⁻²⁶ atm), but depended on P_H2O (0.08 to 0.005 atm). A mathematical processing of the P_H2O dependencies of the electroconductivity, which was performed in terms of a classical model of defect formation in high-temperature proton-conducting solid electrolytes, yielded equilibrium constants of the reaction of water dissolution in BaCe_0.9Nd_0.1O_3−α and mobilities of protons and oxygen ions. The temperature dependencies of these quantities were used to determine the mobility activation energies of protons (E_a=34±7 kJ/mole) and oxygen ions (E_a=72±8 kJ/mole), and also the enthalpy (ΔH=−150±25 kJ/mole) and the entropy (ΔS=153±26 kJ/mole·K) of the reaction of water dissolution in BaCe_0.9Nd_0.1O_3−α.     

H+H2O reaction dynamics: state distribution for the OH product

A method has been developed to study the dynamics of high barrier reactions by combining hot-atom production by laser photolysis and fast-product detection by laser induced fluorescence. The nascent OH rotational, vibrational and fine structure state distributions produced in the endothermic reaction have been measured with hot hydrogen atoms from the photodissociation of HBr at 193 nm. OH rotational excitation is low and corresponds to a partitioning of only around 3% of the total reaction energy to OH rotation. OH could only be observed in the vibrational ground state, i.e.(v=1)/(v=0)0.1. The OH spin doublets are produced statistically, but the partitioning in the -doublets is very non-statistical with a strong preference for the ⁺-component ((⁺)/(^–)=3.2±1.0) demonstrating the exit channel of the reaction to be preferentially planar. By measuring reactant and product densities at short times, an absolute total cross-section of 0.24±0.1[Ų] has been obtained.     

SIMS,EID and flash-filament investigation of O2, H2, (O2 + H2) and H2O interaction with vanadium

Comparative investigations of secondary ion emission, electron induced ion emission and flash filament signals from polycrystalline vanadium surfaces exposed to well-defined O₂, H₂, H₂O and (O₂ + H₂) doses (<500 L) have been carried out. The vanadium target could be heated and bombarded by either electrons (300 eV) or ions (3 keV) under ultra high vacuum conditions (<10^?10 Torr). The investigations were carried out with a computer controlled ultra high vacuum mass spectrometer. The experimental results establish exact reproducible spectra of well defined surface layers. They give detailed insight into the reactions between H₂, O₂ H₂O and vanadium, and some interactions between these species. They further indicate the importance of bulk and surface diffusion as well as the influence of the probing ion and electron bombardment. A clear distinction between bulk oxygen, surface oxides, and adsorbed oxygen for the vanadium-oxygen interaction at room temperature could be established. For the interaction of hydrogen with clean and oxygen covered vanadium surfaces the formation of adsorbed hydrogen, bulk solution of hydrogen, and the formation of OH groups and H₂O could be demonstrated. A detection limit below 10^?5 of one single monolayer for metal bonded hydrogen could be established.     

Cross section for the H+H2O abstraction reaction: experiment and theory

The absolute value of the cross section for the abstraction reaction between fast H atoms and H2O has been determined experimentally at a mean collision energy of 2.46 eV. The OH population distribution at the same mean energy has also been determined. The new measurements are compared with state-of-the-art quantum mechanical and quasiclassical scattering calculations on the most recently developed potential energy surface.     

Theoretical study of stereodynamics for the O（3P） ＋ H2 → OH ＋ H reaction

This paper employs the quasi-classical trajectory calculations to study the influence of collision energy on the title reaction on the potential energy surface of the ground ³A' triplet state developed by Rogers et al. (J. Phys. Chem. A 2000 104 2308). It calculates the product angular distribution of P(θ_r), P(φ_r) and P(θ_r, φ_r) which reflects vector correlation. The distribution P(θ_r) shows that product rotational angular momentum vectors j' of the products are strongly aligned along the relative velocity direction k. The distribution of P(φ_r) implies a preference for left-handed product rotation in planes parallel to the scattering plane. Four different polarisation-dependent cross-sections are also presented in the centre-of-mass frame. Results indicate that OH is sensitively affected by collision energies of H₂.     

Raman spectroscopic study of the arsenite mineral vajdakite [(Mo6+O2)2(H2O)2As3+2O5]·H2O

Raman spectra of vajdakite, [(Mo⁶⁺O₂)₂(H₂O)₂As O₅]·H₂O, were studied and interpreted in terms of the structure of the mineral. The Raman spectra were compared with the published infrared spectrum of vajdakite. The presence of dimolybdenyl and diarsenite units and of hydrogen bonded water molecules was inferred from the Raman spectra which supported the known and published crystal structure of vajdakite. Mo O and O H···O bond lengths were calculated from the Raman spectra. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Efficiencies of third bodies in the reaction H + O2 + M = HO2 + M

Vibrational transition probabilities have been calculated by the Schwartz, Slawsky and Herzfeld method [3] for the deactivation of HO₂* in collision with H₂, O₂ and CO₂. The relative efficiencies of H₂, O₂ and CO₂ are compared with their third-body efficiencies found experimentally and it is concluded that the transfer of large vibrational quanta from HO₂* is unlikely to play an important part in determining the position of the second explosion limit of the H₂/O₂ reaction. This conclusion is at variance with the explanation put forward by Walsh [1] of the ‘anomalous’ third-body efficiencies of H₂O and CO₂ in this reaction.     

Insertion and abstraction pathways in the reaction O(1D2) + H2-->OH+H

Rigorous quantum dynamical calculations have been performed on the ground 1 1A' and first excited 1 1A" electronic states of the title reaction, employing the most accurate potential energy surfaces available. Product rovibrational quantum state populations and rotational angular momentum alignment parameters are reported, and are compared with new experimental, and quasiclassical trajectory calculated results. The quantum calculations agree quantitatively with experiment, and reveal unequivocally that the 1 1A" excited state participates in the reaction.

H3O+-dependent morphological change in the electrochemical deposition of iron

By in situ optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, we investigate the morphology of the iron electrodeposit grown at different H₃O⁺ concentration in the electrolyte. The chemical composition of the electrodeposit is analyzed by X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy. It seems that the morphological transitions observed in this system do not relate to the oxidation/passivation of the metallic deposit during the growth. The possible origin of the dependence of deposit morphology on the H₃O⁺ in the electrolyte is discussed.
