Chemically Driven Multistep Crystallization in the Synthesis of Sodium Yttrium Fluoride Via a Porous, Electrochemically Active Intermediate

Two-step crystallization mechanisms based on liquid–liquid phase separations followed by crystallization are commonly observed both in the laboratory and in nature. While this pathway quite often occurs as a result of a chemical reaction, the subsequent nucleation and growth are often considered as separate, discrete events from the reaction itself. We show this mechanism in the aqueous synthesis sodium yttrium fluoride, but by using a combination of experimental techniques and computational modeling, we show an additional step of solid-state chemical diffusion that is essential to the nucleation mechanism. In this system, we observe at least four distinct steps in the crystallization process, including (1) the segregation of aqueous ions into a dense liquid phase, (2) the formation of a metastable amorphous aggregate, (3) the continuous, gradual solid-state diffusion of sodium and fluoride ions into the amorphous aggregate toward a NaYF4 stoichiometry, and (4) the crystallization of a stable cubic sodium yttrium fluoride phase. Unlike previous descriptions of nucleation and growth, we find that the stoichiometry of the final solid phase evolves throughout the crystallization process rather than being determined at the time of the initial separation from solution. Further, this emphasizes that the chemical reaction cannot be assumed to be a separate event from the phase separation and growth, especially in compounds with variable stoichiometry. We also find that the amorphous aggregate that forms prior to the ion incorporation step adopts a porous, gel-like structure, which we isolated and showed to be electrochemically active, allowing for its potential use as a battery anode in lithium and sodium ion batteries, among other potential applications.

Influence of microstructure on replacement and porosity generation during experimental dolomitization of limestones

Replacement reactions commonly alter the multiscale pore structures of rocks during fluid-rock interactions. Analysis of these processes in various model fluid-rock systems during controlled laboratory experiments provides insights into the origins of microstructures found in natural materials. This study focused on understanding the effects of initial starting material permeability and resultant differences in transport pathways on porosity and mineralogical changes during limestone dolomitization.A series of replacement experiments (32–317 days in duration) have been conducted in which 1.59 cm (5/8 in.) diameter cores of two different limestones were reacted with saturated MgCl2 solutions at 200 °C. The Texas Cream (Austin Chalk) is a high-porosity, high-permeability limestone, whereas both the porosity and permeability of the Carthage Marble (Burlington Limestone) are relatively low. Altered limestones were imaged using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF–SIMS) and electron microprobe analysis (EMPA). A representative grain boundary of the low-porosity limestone was targeted for a focused ion beam (FIB) lift-out and characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These results were coupled with analyses of radial changes in the porosity distribution of the core derived from X-ray and neutron small- and ultra-small angle scattering ((U)SANS/(U)SAXS).The high-porosity/permeability limestone showed a four times faster bulk replacement rate than the lower-porosity/permeability material, and a different mechanism of porosity development. For the low-porosity limestone, a two-stage replacement occurred, with the reacted region of the core consisting of an inner rim in which the limestone was replaced by two calcite-dolomite solid solutions, and an outer rim in which the dolomite was replaced by magnesite. Elongated pores formed along grain boundaries at the initial limestone/dolomite reaction interface, and additional nanometer-scale porosity was formed at the secondary magnesite replacement rim. Grain boundaries were identified as preferential pathways for transport leading to dolomitization and a grain boundary diffusion rate was calculated based on microstructural characterization. In contrast, replacement in the high-porosity limestone was accompanied by porosity generation through replacement of individual grains by dolomite throughout the sample and, in longer runs, magnesite in outer parts of the core. These observations emphasize that both the mechanisms of the replacement reaction and the microstructure and chemistry of the replaced product are contingent on the initial structure of the starting material.

Radiolytic redox interplay defines nanomaterial synthesis in liquids

Irradiation of a liquid solution generates solvated electrons and radiolysis products, which can lead to material deposition or etching. The chemical environment dictates the dominant reactions. Radiolysis-induced reactions in salt solutions have substantially different results in pure water versus water-ammonia, which extends the lifetime of solvated electrons. We investigate the interplay between transport and solution chemistry via the example of solid silver formation from e-beam irradiation of silver nitrate solutions in water and water-ammonia. The addition of ammonia results in the formation of a secondary ring-shaped deposit tens of microns in diameter (formed over tens of seconds) around the primary point of deposition (formed over milliseconds). Simulations uncover the relative importance of oxidizing and reducing reactions and transport effects. Our explanation of this behavior involves mechanisms beyond ammonia’s role in extending solvated electron lifetimes.

A Principle for Highly Active Metal Oxide Catalysts via NaCl-Based Solid Solution

Toward the preparation of industrial metal oxide catalysts, sacrificial organic templates, excessive solvents, complex impregnation, and drying steps are generally required. Here, we report a versatile rule for the simple synthesis of highly porous metal oxides with well-dispersed noble metal species. Porous metal oxides (Co 3 O 4 , Fe x O y , and Cr 2 O 3 ) are obtained with some surface areas (e.g., Cr 2 O3: 224 m 2 ·g -1 ) beyond the record value. Surprisingly, small noble metal nanoparticles (e.g., Pd: 3.1 and Pt: 3.2 nm) could be incorporated by this solid-state process simultaneously. Corresponding Rh-Co 3 O 4 , Pd-Fe x O y , and Pt-Cr 2 O 3 exhibit excellent performance: CH 4 combustion (T90 = ~360°C and thermal stability: >100 h at 680°C), hydrogenation of nitrobenzene and derivatives (turnover number [TON] = 2.49 × 104, 300 mmol per run), and reversed water gas shift (RWGS) reaction (44% CO 2 conversion with ~98% CO selectivity and thermal stability: >100 h at 500°C), respectively. Therefore, current principle via a NaCl-based solid solution could provide a solid-state, fast, and efficient route for processing metal oxide catalysts.

Grain detachment and transport clogging during mineral dissolution in carbonate rocks with permeable grain boundaries

In this paper, we explore the effect of permeable grain boundaries on carbonate rock dissolution in order to improve our understanding of grain detachment and migration during reactive flow. To do so we investigated the effects of grain size and enhanced reactivity along grain boundaries on global dissolution kinetics. Variations of permeability and porosity were calculated, and exponential relationships were observed in fractured rocks. Our model employed a reactive transport framework based on the Darcy-Brinkman equation to simulate calcite dissolution in carbonate rocks composed of microporous grains and, included fluid transport along grain boundaries. The model includes fluid flow, solute transport by advection–diffusion, heterogeneous reaction between fluid and minerals and grain detachment with subsequent grain transport in macropores. The migration of solid particles due to dissolution was based on cluster analysis and local movement, and the results show that grain detachment can lead to significant decreases in permeability due to the clogging of transport pathways. Microporous media with smaller grain sizes (fine grains in this study) showed a higher average reaction rate than those with coarser grains. In addition, as the overall rates of geochemical processes are commonly affected by the presence of texture heterogeneities such as fractures, a single fracture (macropore) introduced into a microporous matrix composed of permeable grains and grain boundaries was modelled as a large channel connecting the inlet and outlet of the simulation domain. It was found that macropore clogging by grain detachment temporary decreased permeability, lowering the long-term global reaction rates. Lastly, we observed that increases in flow rate can reduce detachment and fracture clogging by reducing local dissolution along grain boundaries.

Universal Approach to Fabricating Graphene-Supported Single-Atom Catalysts from Doped ZnO Solid Solutions

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted widespread interest for many catalytic applications because of their distinguishing properties. However, general and scalable synthesis of efficient SACs remains significantly challenging, which limits their applications. Here we report an efficient and universal approach to fabricating a series of high-content metal atoms anchored into hollow nitrogen-doped graphene frameworks (M-N-Grs; M represents Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, etc.) at gram-scale. The highly compatible doped ZnO templates, acting as the dispersants of targeted metal heteroatoms, can react with the incoming gaseous organic ligands to form doped metal-organic framework thin shells, whose composition determines the heteroatom species and contents in M-N-Grs. We achieved over 1.2 atom % (5.85 wt %) metal loading content, superior oxygen reduction activity over commercial Pt/C catalyst, and a very high diffusion-limiting current (6.82 mA cm -2 ). Both experimental analyses and theoretical calculations reveal the oxygen reduction activity sequence of M-N-Grs. Additionally, the superior performance in Fe-N-Gr is mainly attributed to its unique electron structure, rich exposed active sites, and robust hollow framework: This synthesis strategy will stimulate the rapid development of SACs for diverse energy-related fields.

A thermochemical study of iron aluminate-based materials: a preferred class for isothermal water splitting

The use of hydrogen as a renewable fuel has been stymied by our inability to produce it cleanly and economically. The conventional solar thermochemical approach considers a two-step redox cycle with benchmark ceria or a perovskite in a temperature swing configuration, where reduction occurs at a temperature much higher than oxidation. Isothermal redox cycling is feasible and avoids the solid–solid heat recuperation and material stability challenges associated with temperature swing; yet, it has long been thought to be inefficient due to the thermodynamic unfavorability of operating the exothermic oxidation reaction at higher temperatures. Here, in this work, we show that this setback can be overcome with iron aluminate-based spinel solid solutions that preferentially exhibit large changes in oxygen content within the range of oxygen partial pressures expected in large-scale systems. We explain the experimental results with a defect model that assigns cation – not oxygen – vacancies as the predominant point defect responsible for their superior water-splitting ability. When operated isothermally at 1400 °C, the iron aluminate-based materials demonstrate a capacity for hydrogen production greater than 500 μmol g–1 and, as a result, remain viable even under high conversion conditions (i.e., pO 2 < 500 : 1 H 2 O : H 2 ), exceeding the hydrogen yields of ceria and two attractive perovskite candidates following a 400 °C (or less) temperature swing. Isothermal water splitting using iron aluminate-based materials opens the door for more simple, robust, and efficient production of renewable hydrogen.

Exploring a new synthesis route to lithium-excess disordered rock salt (DRX) cathode materials

Lithium-excess disordered rock salt (DRX) materials are promising candidates for Co/Ni-free Li-ion cathodes due to their high specific energy (800+ W h kg −1 ) and compositional flexibility. DRX cathodes are typically synthesized using solid-state reactions, which are difficult to scale and provide little-to-no control over particle morphology. Here, to address this bottleneck, the present study reports a two-step, solution-based reaction route to prepare Mn/Ti-based DRX oxyfluoride cathodes with nominal compositions of Li 1.25 Mn 0.5 Ti 0.3 O 1.95 F 0.05 and Li 1.35 Mn 0.7 Ti 0.1 O 1.85 F 0.15 . More specifically, a glycine–nitrate combustion reaction is used to produce a lithiated transition metal oxide, which is further reacted with LiF to produce high-purity DRX powders. Remarkably, this route yields 80–90% pure DRX after annealing for 1 h at 800–1000 °C, and 19 F solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectra demonstrate that F− anions are successfully incorporated into the DRX structure. Cathodes prepared using this approach exhibit promising electrochemical performance, with Li 1.35 Mn 0.7 Ti 0.1 O 1.85 F 0.15 attaining reversible capacities ∼210 mA h g −1 and moderate cycling stability in half cells (65% capacity retention over 150 cycles). Overall, these results demonstrate that utilizing novel metal oxide precursors presents a viable and largely unexplored method to produce high-performance Co/Ni-free DRX cathodes.

Synthesis and disassembly of an organometallic polymer comprising redox-active Co 4 S 4 clusters and Janus biscarbene linkers

Here, we show for the first time that main-chain organometallic polymers (MCOPs) can be prepared from Janus N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) linkers and polynuclear cluster nodes. The crosslinked framework Co 4 S 4 -MCOP is synthesized via ligand displacement reactions and undergoes reversible electron transfer in the solid state. Discrete molecular cluster species can be excised from the framework by digesting the solid in solutions of excess monocarbene. Lastly, we demonstrate a synthetic route to monodisperse framework particles via coordination modulation.

Chemical redox of lithium-ion solid electroactive material in a packed bed flow reactor

Chemical redox reactions between solid electroactive materials and dissolved electroactive compounds are a necessary component of emerging technologies relevant to renewable energy including high energy density flow batteries and battery material recycling. In this work, an initial investigation of heterogeneous chemical redox for a packed bed reactor configuration between solid electroactive material and dissolved redox shuttles will be described. Experimental conditions including the height of the packed bed, the redox shuttle solution concentration, solution flow rate, and operating temperature were varied and their impact on the molar conversion of the solid electroactive material in the packed bed was quantified using electroanalytical techniques on the reactor effluent. The progression of the reaction and its dependence on the different variables explored will be discussed in the context of the limiting processes for porous packed aggregates of the solid electroactive material undergoing chemical oxidation.

Development of a kinetic-thermodynamic model for lime-stabilization of Na-bentonite

This study presents the first kinetic model to predict the solid and pore solution composition of Na-bentonite clay reacting with slaked lime over a period of 720 days. The model successfully accounts for most experimental data using a single kinetic rate constant. The following sequence of reactions was predicted by the model: initial rapid dissolution of portlandite within the first 7 days, leading to a decrease in pH and dissolved calcium, and concurrent formation of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H: jennite), calcium aluminate hydrate (C-A-H: C₄AH₁₃), calcium aluminosilicate hydrates (stratlingite) and hydrotalcite. After 7 days, jennite and stratlingite are predicted to transform into tobermorite-II, contributing to strength development up to 28 days. From 28 to 90 days, continued montmorillonite dissolution is predicted, along with minor formation of ettringite, partial tobermorite-II dissolution, and precipitation of secondary phases such as albite and talc. Experimentally, portlandite dissolution was confirmed by TGA and XRD and found to be complete within 7 days, in agreement with model predictions. However, other predicted solid-phase transformations (e.g., tobermorite-II formation and dissolution, ettringite, albite, and talc formation) could not be conclusively verified through experimental techniques. Aqueous phase measurements confirmed that the pH and Ca trends in solution, and that equilibrium was reached by 90 days.

Electrochemical Structure of the Plasma–Liquid Interface

Nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma in contact with a liquid yields a variety of energetic photons, ions, and electrons, which can be transported into the plasma–liquid interface (PLI). Similar to the electrochemical interface formed between a solid electrode and electrolyte in conventional electrochemical systems, the charge-transfer process across the PLI is able to promote reduction–oxidation (redox) reactions. However, in the case of free plasma jets in contact with liquids, the absence of solid electrodes obscures the spatial locations of the electrochemical half-reactions. Herein, we present a spatial electrochemical measurement technique used to characterize an aqueous solution in contact with an atmospheric pressure plasma jet. The technique is based on measuring the potential difference between two identical Ag/AgCl electrochemical electrodes positioned at different locations within the solution. More specifically, electrochemical maps were made by measuring the potential of one electrochemical electrode positioned at different locations near the PLI with respect to the other electrochemical electrode positioned far away from the PLI in the bulk solution. Regions in the map with negative and positive potential differences between these electrochemical electrodes were used to identify the electrodeless cathode and anode, respectively. Here, visualization of the spatial distribution of molecular colorimetric redox indicators by multispectral imaging revealed that reduction was occurring near the plasma jet centerline while oxidation was occurring further away in solution, which constitutes an independent confirmation of the electrochemical maps.

Electrochemically Assisted Single Crystal Growth of Reduced Preyssler Polyoxometalates Decorated with M 2+ ( M = Co, Ni) and Cubane–Like Ni 4 O 4 Units

Polyoxometalates (POMs) are of great interest to the scientific community, and their reduction and nucleation have been well–established by multi–step techniques. The present study develops an electrochemical approach for simultaneous reduction and nucleation of polyoxometalate–containing solids. Herein we report crystal growth of reduced Preyssler polyoxotungstate–based (anionic formula [NaP 5 W 30 O 110 ] 14– ) new crystalline solids made of Preyssler anions interlinked by Co 2+ and Ni 2+ ions. Crystal nucleation and in situ reduction were achieved at room temperature using a two silver wire electrode setup in various aqueous solutions under constant applied potentials. The POM material was deposited on the cathode, and its structure was characterized by X–ray diffraction techniques. The primary structure type observed involves POMs decorated by disordered Co 2+ /Ni 2+ octahedra and fused into 1–D pillars by additional Co 2+ /Ni 2+ octahedra. Additionally, a secondary phase was observed in the Ni–based reactions, where reduced Preyssler anions are decorated by Ni 4 O 4 cubane–like units. To understand the electrochemical process, polarization curves of the electrolyte solutions are presented, suggesting an applied potential best suited for crystal growth. The work highlights the effectiveness of an electrochemical pathway where nucleation and simultaneous reduction of POMs can make novel reduced POM solids.

The emerging field of block copolymer self-assembly-directed quantum materials

The area of functional materials derived from block copolymers (BCPs) as structure-directing agents for various inorganic materials has seen substantial growth as a result of the immense scientific as well as technological promise associated with such hybrid materials. Further, the convergence of BCP self-assembly with the fast-growing field of quantum materials now promises solution-based synthetic approaches to classes of materials that to date are dominated by stringent high-vacuum physical deposition techniques and bulk solid state chemical reactions. Moreover, the ensuing periodic nano- and mesostructures, a characteristic of BCP self-assembly, offer a unique platform for manipulating quantum-level properties, in turn resulting in substantial changes of macroscopic properties. This article will make a case for, review the existing work of, and provide our perspectives on this emerging field of block copolymer self-assembly directed quantum materials.

Microstructural changes and mass transport in cement-based materials: A modeling approach

Highlights: • Concept to relate microstructural changes, mass transport, and chemical reactions in cement-based materials is presented. • Multi-physics modeling approach utilizing an extended version of the PNP equation and the geochemical code IPHREEQC. • Case studies indicate significant changes in mass transport properties due to alterations in the microstructure. • Microstructural changes depend on exposure and interactions between chemical reactions, pore structure, and mass transport. A generic modeling framework is presented to relate microstructural changes, i.e. changes in the pore volume distribution and phase assemblage, and mass transport in cement-based materials. The modeling framework accounts for mass transport and chemical equilibrium between ions in the pore solution and solid hydrates by means of an extended version of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equation, in which the chemical equilibrium is solved by the external geochemical code IPHREEQC. Results of numerical studies concerning carbonation and leaching of a cement-based material indicate significant changes in mass transport properties due to chemical reactions leading to alterations in the microstructure. The resulting highly non-linear (both spatial and temporal) microstructural changes are thereby depending on the exposure and indicate that interactions between chemical reactions, pore structure changes, and mass transport have to be accounted for as a whole.

Electrochemistry of Praseodymium in Aqueous Solution Using a Liquid Gallium Cathode

We report the electrochemistry of liquid Ga electrodes in aqueous media was examined in the presence of praseodymium acetate (PrOAc) as an alternate path for low temperature reduction of rare earth elements (REE). This study investigated the aqueous electrochemistry of Ga with and without REEs (Pr). Cyclic voltammetry experiments showed that in the presence of PrOAc, an order of magnitude increase in cathodic current was observed for the Ga electrode, compared to that in the absence of Pr. Decrease in the reduction current with the increase of scan rate, with and without Pr, suggests catalytic reactions following electron transfer, which was attributed to the Ga 2 O disproportionation reaction. Chronoamperometric experiments performed in Pr containing solutions formed a precipitate. Over 50% of the Pr ions from the aqueous electrolyte were immobilized in the precipitate; a solid Ga-rich phase. Formation of this precipitate was only possible when Ga oxidation was induced. This condition was achieved by circulation of liquid Ga from the pool via external pump and returned dropwise to the liquid Ga pool. When the collected precipitate was leached in dilute HCl, Pr was released with H 2 evolved as a byproduct, and Ga returned to its initial liquid metallic state. These preliminary results show encouraging new routes that could be applied for the recovery of diluted REE leachates, such as those obtained from magnets, coal fly ash, and ores.

Tailoring Chemical Absorption-Precipitation to Lower the Regeneration Energy of a CO 2 Capture Solvent

Solvent-based CO 2 capture consumes significant amounts of energy for solvent regeneration. To improve energy efficiency, this study investigates CO 2 fixation in a solid form through solvation, followed by ionic self-assembly-aided precipitation. Based on the hypothesis that CO 3 2- ions may bind with monovalent metal ions, we introduced Na + into an aqueous hexane-1,6-diamine solution where CO 2 forms carbamate and bicarbonate. Then, Na + ions in the solvent act as a seed for ionic self-assembly with diamine carbamate to form an intermediate ionic complex. The recurring chemical reactions lead to the formation of an ionic solid from a mixture of organic carbamate/carbonate and inorganic sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ), which can be easily removed from the aqueous solvent through sedimentation or centrifugation and heated to release the captured CO 2 . Mild-temperature heating of the solids at 80–150 °C causes decomposition of the solid CO 2 -diamine-Na molecular aggregates and discharge of CO 2 . This sorbent regeneration process requires 6.5–8.6 GJ/t CO 2 . It was also found that the organic carbamate/carbonate solid, without NaHCO 3 , contains a significant amount of CO 2 , up to 6.2 mmol CO 2 /g-sorbent, requiring as low as 2.9–5.8 GJ/t CO 2 . In conclusion, molecular dynamic simulations support the hypothesis of using Na + to form relatively less stable, yet sufficiently solid, complexes for the least energy-intensive recovery of diamine solvents compared to bivalent carbonate–forming ions.

Kinetic Probes of the Origin of Activity in MOF-Based C–H Oxidation Catalysis

The development of homogeneous catalysis is enabled by the availability of a rich toolkit of kinetics experiments, such as the Hgdrop test, that differentiate catalytic activity at ligand-supported metal complexes from potential heterogeneous catalysts derived from decomposition of molecular species. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered significant attention as platforms for catalysis at site-isolated, interstitial catalyst sites. Unlike homogeneous catalysis, relatively few strategies have been advanced to evaluate the origin of catalytic activity in MOF-promoted reactions. Many of the MOFs that have been examined as potential catalysts are comprised of molecular constituents that represent viable catalysts in the absence of the extended MOF lattice, and thus interfacial sites and leached homogeneous species represent potential sources of catalyst activity. Here, we demonstrate that analysis of deuterium kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) and olefin epoxidation diastereoselectivity provides probes of the origin of catalytic activity in MOF-promoted oxidation reactions. These analyses support involvement of lattice-based Fe sites in the turnover-limiting step of C–H activation with Fe-MOF-74-based materials (i.e., the MOF functions as a bona fide catalyst) and evidence that Cu 2 -based MOF MIL-125-Cu 2 O 2 functions as a solid-state initiator for solution-phase oxidation chemistry and is not involved in the turnover limiting step (i.e., the MOF does not function as a catalyst for substrate functionalization). furthermore, we anticipate that the simple experiments described here will provide a valuable tool for clarifying the role of MOFs in C–H oxidation reactions.
