Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of alkaline earth phosphosilicate and aluminoborosilicate glasses

The ¹¹B, ²⁷Al, ²⁹Si and ³¹P magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectra of MO–P₂O₅, MO–SiO₂–P₂O₅ and MO(M^′₂O)–SiO₂–Al₂O₃–B₂O₃ (M=Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba, M^′=Na) glasses were examined. In binary MO–P₂O₅ (M=Ca and Mg) glasses, the distributions of the phosphate sites, P(Q_n), can be expressed by a theoretical prediction that P₂O₅ reacts quantitatively with MO. In the ternary 0.30MO–0.05SiO₂–0.65P₂O₅ glasses, the 6-coordinated silicon sites were detected, whose population increases in the order of MgOxCaO–0.05SiO₂–(0.95−x)P₂O₅ glasses, its population increases with an increase in f (=([P₂O₅]−[MO]−[B₂O₃]−[Na₂O])/[SiO₂]) and has maximum at f=9. The signal due to the 5-coordinated silicon atoms is also observed when x is smaller than 0.45. When three network-forming oxides such as SiO₂, Al₂O₃ and B₂O₃ coexist, Al₂O₃ reacts preferably with MO. The populations of 4-coordinated boron atoms, N₄, are expressed well with r/(1−r), where r=([Na₂O]−[Al₂O₃])/([Na₂O]−[Al₂O₃]+[B₂O₃]). The correlation of the Raman signal at 1210 and 1350 cm⁻¹ with the NMR signal of Si(Q₆) at −215 ppm is also seen.     

Ab initio study of NMR spectra of Li2S–SiS2 glass system

We obtained the chemical shielding constants of ²⁹Si in Li₂S–SiS₂ glass system on the basis of molecular orbital calculations. The relative chemical shieldings calculated at the HF/6-31G* level is −16.1 and −23.8 ppm for E(1) and E(0), respectively. These calculations are in good agreement with the previous NMR study: σ(E(2))>σ(E(1))>σ(E(0)). It is found theoretically that incorporation of Li₂S into SiS₂ does not influence the ²⁹Si chemical shift, while incorporation of Li₂O into SiO₂ does to a significant extent. It is also found that the existence of oxygen in Li₂S–SiS₂ glasses increases the chemical shielding of ²⁹Si by about 25 ppm, which is in good agreement with the experimental result.

The effect of MgO on the thermodynamics of the Fe/Fe-redox equilibrium and the incorporation of iron in soda-magnesia-aluminosilicate melts

Melts with the basic compositions 10Na₂O · 10MgO · xAl₂O₃ · (80−x)SiO₂ (x=0, 5, 10, 15 and 20), 10Na₂O · xMgO · 10Al₂O₃ · (80−x)SiO₂ (x=5, 10, 15 and 20) and xNa₂O · 10MgO · 10Al₂O₃ · (80−x)SiO₂ (x=5, 10 and 15) all doped with 0.25 mol% Fe₂O₃ were studied using square-wave voltammetry. The temperatures applied were in the range of 1000–1600 °C. The square-wave voltammograms recorded show peaks caused by the reduction of Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺. The attributed peak potentials measured decreased linearly with decreasing temperatures. Increasing the MgO-concentration led to more negative peak potentials. Introducing alumina in the melt first resulted in less negative peak potentials. If the molar Al₂O₃-concentration is equal to that of Na₂O (=10 mol%) the peak potentials are least negative. Further increase of the Al₂O₃-concentration led to more negative peak potentials. The variation of the Na₂O-concentration led to a maximum in the peak potentials at an Na₂O-concentration of 10 mol%. An empirical formula which allows the calculation of standard potentials from the chemical composition is proposed. Furthermore, a structural explanation for the effect of the chemical composition is given. Especially, the incorporation of Al₂O₃ as AlO₄⁻-tetrahedra at [Al₂O₃] < [Na₂O] and as network modifier at larger concentrations was structurally explained by the similarities of Fe²⁺ and Mg²⁺, with respect to cation radii and metal–oxygen bond lengths.     

Mössbauer studies on some glasses and crystals in the Na2O---Fe2O3---SiO2 system

Mössbauer absorption measurements have been made at room temperature on ⁵⁷Fe in iron sodium silicate glasses containing 3–15 mol% Fe₂O₃ and various iron alkali silicate crystals in order to study the state of iron in these glasses. The spectra of all the glasses gave one doublet with a quadrupole splitting varying from 0.73–0.78 mm s⁻¹, while those of Na₂O · Fe₂O₃ · 4 SiO₂ and 5 Na₂O · Fe₂O₃ · 8 SiO₂ crystals showed much smaller quadrupole splitting, 0.28 mm s⁻¹ and 0.10 mm s⁻¹, respectively, and an asymmetrical doublet of much narrower linewidth. When sodium was replaced by other alkali metals of larger size, such as K and Cs, in MFeSi₂O₆ and MFeSi₃O₈ crystals, the quadrupole splitting became wider and approached to 0.73 mm s⁻¹. Such a variation was not observed for glasses. These results suggest that a larger number of non-identical sites exist in iron sodium silicate glasses than in the corresponding crystals.

Structural distribution and rigidity of the glass network determined by EPR of Cu

The linewidth-broadening of the EPR spectra of Cu²⁺ in silicate, borate and phosphate glasses was analyzed in terms of the distribution of g_| and A_| (δ_| and δA_|) and related to the distribution of the rigidity of the network structure. X- and K-band spectra were measured for the glasses doped with ⁶³Cu²⁺ (93% abundance). The linewidth of the HFS shoulders with parallel orientation to H increased linearly with increasing m or microwave frequency. δg_| and δA_| showed a marked dependence on glass composition. For example, in Na₂O---B₂O₃ glasses, on going from x (mol% of Na₂O) being small through intermediate to large, δg_| varied from small through large to negligibly small. In contrast to these glasses δg_| was extremely large for 75PbO · 25B₂O₃ glass. The large δg_| for the Na₂O---B₂O₃ glassesof intermediate x was attributed to the coexistence of various borate groups competitively coordinating to Cu²⁺. Negligibly small δg_| for 70Na₂O · 30B₂O₃ glass and extremely large δg_| for 75PbO ·25B₂O₃ glass, both with a narrower structural distribution, reflect regidity of the glass network. The Pb---O bonding is strong enough to distort the coordination of Cu²⁺-complex. The situation is the reverse in Na₂O---B₂O₃ glasses.     

Electrical conductivities of mixed cation glasses

The electrical conductivities of (1−x) Li₂O · x BaO · 2 SiO₂, (1−x) Na₂O · x MgO ·2 SiO₂, (1−x) Na₂O · x CaO · SiO₂ and (1−x) Na₂O · x BaO · 2SiO₂ glasses were measured at temperature ranging from room temperature to 450°C. The transport numbers for Na⁺ ion in (1−x) Na₂O · x BaO · 2 SiO₂ glasses were measured. It was found that the alkali ion carried a significant part of the current in these glasses except one that had no alkali ions, and the conductivity decreased markedly as the alkali oxide was substituted by an alkaline earth oxide. The results of conductivity measurements combined with the data hitherto reported on mixed alkali glasses led to the proposal that the so-called mixed alkali effect could be explained on the basis of the independent path model in which it is assumed that cations can move only through vacant sites left by those of the same type.     

Keggin型多酸基超分子化合物H3[{H(4-AP)}6(PMoⅤ6MoⅥ6O40)]的结构和电催化性能

The preparation of boron-doped silicon carbide powder by the carbothermal reduction of oxides derived from the hydrolyzed methyltriethoxysilane

A precursor prepared from a methyltriethoxysilane ((CH₃)Si(OC₂H₅)₃, MTES)-B(OC₂H₅)₃-polyacrylonitrile (PAN) composition was used for the synthesis of boron-doped SiC by carbothermal reduction. Initially, MTES was hydrolyzed with HCl (MTES: H₂O: HCl = 1 : 1 : 0.01) for 1 h in a sealed vessel. The number-average molecular weight measurement and a NMR spectrum revealed that the species in the solution were mainly oligometric. With the addition of B(OC₂H₅)₃, no significant changes in the distribution of the Si containing species were detected. The mixing of the hydrolyzed solution with a PAN-dimethylsulfoxide solution led to a homogeneous solution. After the evaporation of the solvents and the subsequent heat treatment at 220° C, brown precursor powder was obtained. By the heat treatment at 1600° C in Ar, it was converted to boron-doped SiC powder.     

Hydrolytic resistance of Na2O---B2O3---SiO2 gels prepared by sol-gel process

Alkoxide derived gels were prepared in the system Na₂O---B₂O₃---SiO₂. The gel compositions were situated in the liquid-liquid immiscibility area of the phase equilibrium diagram.

Hydrolytic resistance tests were performed on the gels heat-treated at temperatures ranging between 120 to 850 °C. The Na₂O, B₂O₃ and SiO₂ extracted from the attack gels were analyzed. The experimental results indicate that the amount of B₂O₃ has a significant influence on the chemical durability of the heat-treated gels. At temperatures of 850 °C the greater the B₂O₃ mol% the greater are the amounts of Na₂O and B₂O₃ extracted. Different behaviour was observed for gels heat-treated at 600 °C where the amounts of B₂O₃ and Na₂O extracted slightly increases as the B₂O₃ mol% increases. Small amounts of extracted SiO₂ were always observed.

These results are complemented with other measurements so that an explanation of the controlling mechanism is given.     

NMR studies of Na2O---B2O3---SiO2 glasses of mid-alkali content

¹¹B Fourier transform spectra have been used to study the structure of Na₂O---B₂O₃---SiO₂ glasses of mid-alkali content. Based on the measurements of the fraction N₄ of four-coordinated borons, it has been found that for K = mol.% SiO₂/mol.% B₂O₃ 8 and R = mol.% Na₂O/mol.% B₂O₃ = 1, N₄ is obviously smaller than 1 rather than equal to 1 as assumed in the relevant literature. Only when R reaches a value appropriately greater than 1, can the case where N₄ = 1 occur. A structural model suggested in this paper can satisfactorily explain the fact.     

An infrared study of crystallization in sodium-disilicate glasses containing iron oxides

The infrared absorption spectra of sodium-disilicate glasses containing various amounts of Fe₂O₃ ([Na₂O · 2 SiO₂]_1−x [Fe₂O₃]_x, where X = 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2) were investigated in the wavenumber range from 200–2000 cm⁻¹. The addition of Fe₂O₃ to the sodium-disilicate glass does not seem to introduce any new absorption band as compared with the spectrum of a pure sodium-disilicate glass; nevertheless, a general shift of the existing absorption bands toward lower wavenumbers is observed. The amount of shift is, in fact, proportional to the content of Fe₂O₃ in the glass. This observation is consistent with the recently proposed structural model for the bonding of Fe³⁺ ions in the iron-sodium-silicate glass system.

Annealing of 20 mol% iron oxide glasses at 550 and 580°C produced an extra sharp infrared absorption peak at about 610 cm⁻¹ wavenumber. This new peak is believed to be related to the crystallized particles of the glass as concluded from both a scanning electron micrograph and an electron diffraction pattern.     

Hydrothermal growth of single-crystal CaV6O16·3H2O nanoribbons

CaV₆O₁₆·3H₂O nanoribbons have been prepared by the hydrothermal method in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) at 160°C for 10 h. X-ray diffraction pattern indicates that the sample is monoclinic phase of CaV₆O₁₆·3H₂O with the lattice contents a=12.18 Å, b=3.598 Å, c=18.39 Å, β=118.03°. Field emission scanning electron microscopy shows that the nanoribbons have widths in the range of 150–500 nm, thicknesses of 30–60 nm and lengths of 500 mm X-ray photoelectron spectrum measurements further confirm the formation of the CaV₆O₁₆·3H₂O phase. The formation of CaV₆O₁₆·3H₂O nanoribbons is a self-assembling process, in which surfactant SDS plays the role of soft template.     

Sodium borosilicate glasses prepared by the sol-gel process

A sodium borosilicate gel of composition 80SiO₂·15B₂O₃·5Na₂O (wt%) was prepared from tetraethyl orthosilicate, trimethyl borate, sodium methylate, H₂O, and HCl as the catalyst. Variation of specific surface area and porosity as a function of heating temperature indicated that closed pores were opened at temperatures lower than 400°C and collapsed above 450°C. From TG and DTA curves, about 19% Si and B atoms are evaluated to have −OH bonds. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated crystallization of low-cristobalite out of the gel when it was heated at 700°C for 5 h, showing a difference from a melt-quenched glass of the same composition.     

共沉淀法合成ZnMoO4粉体及其抗菌性能

Electronic traps in mixed Si1−xGexO2 films

Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy were measured in plasma grown Si_1−xGe_xO₂ (x=0, 0.08, 0.15, 0.25, 0.5) with different thicknesses (12–40 nm). A comparison with the TSL properties of thermally grown SiO₂ and GeO₂ was also performed. A main IR absorption structure was detected, due to the superposition of the peaks related to the asymmetric O stretching modes of (i) Si–O–Si (at ≈1060 cm⁻¹) and (ii) Si–O–Ge (at 1001 cm⁻¹). Another peak at ≈860 cm⁻¹ was observed only for Ge concentrations, x>0.15, corresponding to the asymmetric O stretching mode in Ge–O–Ge bonds. A TSL peak was observed at 70°C, and a smaller structure at around 200°C. The 70°C peak was more intense in all Ge rich layers than in plasma grown SiO₂. Based on the thickness dependence of the signal intensity we propose that at Ge concentrations 0.25x0.5 TSL active defects are localised at interfacial regions (oxide/semiconductor, Ge poor/Ge rich internal interface, oxide external surface/atmosphere). Based on similarities between TSL glow curves in plasma grown Si_1−xGe_xO₂, thermally grown GeO₂ and SiO₂ we propose that oxygen vacancy related defects are trapping states in Si_1−xGe_xO₂ and GeO₂.     

XAS study of lanthanum coordination environments in glasses of the system K2O---SiO2---La2O3

The La L₁ and L₃ XANES and L₃ EXAFS have been investigated for the series of glasses 10K₂O---50SiO₂---x La₂O₃ (x = 1, 5, 10) and (10 − x)K₂O---40SiO₂−(x/3)La₂O₃ (x = 7.5, 5, 2.5) and model compounds La₂O₃, LaAlO₃, LaPO₄, La₂NiO₄, La₂CuO₄ and La(OH)₃. An edge resonance at 25 eV above the L₁ edge in the glass spectra is concentration-dependent, decreasing in intensity with increasing lanthanum concentration. The 2s → nd forbidden transition increases with La₂O₃ concentration, indicating a reduction in the ‘average’ site symmetry of the first coordination shell of La. Mapping _X(k) space, which is a new and promising technique, was employed to extract bond distance, coordination number and thermal parameters from the EXAFS. By this method, one calculates the complete _X(k) space a function of all physically reasonable values of the adjusted parameters in all possible combinations. The advantage in this method is the assurance of a global minimum. Bond lengths were comparable to those obtained by Fourier transforming the phase corrected EXAFS. The values are 2.42 Å (± 0.03 Å) for La---O. The coordination numbers (N ≤ 7 ± 1.5) were derived by mapping and comparison to the published structures for other La compounds. _X(k) mapping is compared with least-squares fitting the data, and the correlation between the Debye-Waller factor and coordination number is also discussed.
