Revitalizing Iron Redox by Anion-Insertion-Assisted Ferro- and Ferri-Hydroxides Conversion at Low Alkalinity

Iron hydroxides are desirable alkaline battery electrodes for low cost and environmental beneficence. However, hydrogen evolution on charging and Fe 3 O 4 formation on discharging cause low storage capacity and poor cycling life. Here, we report that green rust (GR) (Fe 2+ 4 Fe 3+ 2 (HO – ) 12 SO 4 ), formed via sulfate insertion, promotes Fe(OH) 2 /FeOOH conversion and shows a discharge capacity of ~211 mAh g –1 in half-cells and Coulombic efficiency of 93% after 300 cycles in full-cells. Theoretical calculations show that Fe(OH) 2 /FeOOH conversion is facilitated by intercalated sulfate anions. Classical molecular dynamics simulations reveal that electrolyte alkalinity strongly impacts the energetics of sulfate solvation, and low alkalinity ensures fast transport of sulfate ions. Anion-insertion-assisted Fe(OH) 2 /FeOOH conversion, also achieved with Cl – ion, paves a pathway toward efficient utilization of Fe-based electrodes for sustainable applications.

Magnetocapacitance effect and magnetoelectric coupling in type-II multiferroic HoFeWO 6

We have investigated the multiferroicity and magnetoelectric (ME) coupling in HoFeWO 6 . With a noncentrosymmetric polar structure (space group Pna2 1 ) at room temperature, this compound shows an onset of electric polarization with an antiferromagnetic ordering at the Néel temperature (T N ) of 17.8 K. The magnetic properties of the polycrystalline samples were studied by DC and AC magnetization and heat capacity measurements. The metamagnetic behavior at low temperatures was found to be directly related to the dielectric properties of the compound. In particular, field-dependent measurements of capacitance show a magnetocapacitance (MC) effect with double-hysteresis loop behavior in direct correspondence with the magnetization. Our x-ray diffraction results show the Pna2 1 structure down to 8 K and suggest the absence of a structural phase transition across T N . Soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy and soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements at the Fe L 2,3 and Ho M 4,5 edges revealed the oxidation state of Fe and Ho cations to be 3+. Fe L 2,3 XMCD further shows that Fe 3+ cations are antiferromagnetically ordered in a noncollinear fashion with spins arranged 90° with respect to each other. Our findings show that HoFeWO 6 is a type-II multiferroic exhibiting a MC effect. Furthermore, the observed MC effect and the change in polarization by the magnetic field, as well as their direct correspondence with magnetization, further support the strong ME coupling in this compound.

Chloride Insertion Enhances the Electrochemical Oxidation of Iron Hydroxide Double-Layer Hydroxide into Oxyhydroxide in Alkaline Iron Batteries

Rechargeable alkaline iron batteries that constitute environmentally benign electrolytes and earth-abundant industrial materials are desirable green solutions for large-scale energy storage. As one of the most abundant metal elements in the earth’s crust, iron (Fe) can satisfy nearly all criteria for low-cost and safe battery electrodes. However, challenges in achieving reversible Fe redox impede their extensive implementation in modern energy supply systems. Here, this study revealed that Cl-anion insertion into Fe(OH) 2 layered double hydroxide (LDH) formed a green rust intermediate phase with the formula [Fe 2 2+ Fe 1 3+ (HO – ) 6 ] + [Cl] – , which assisted a high Fe(OH) 2 /FeOOH conversion reaction (64.7%) and improved cycling stability. This new iron redox chemistry was validated by operando X-ray diffraction, electrochemical testing, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, scanning transmission electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (STEM-EDS) mapping, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Our study provides new insight into designing LDH materials for high-capacity alkaline iron batteries.

High-Temperature Reaction Kinetics of the e aq – and HO 2 • Radicals with Iron(II) Ions in Aqueous Solutions

Pulsed electron radiolysis was used to determine the chemical reaction kinetics and Arrhenius parameters for iron(II) reactions in aqueous solutions under irradiation. The second-order Fe 2+ reactions with the hydrated electron (e aq – ) and the perhydroxyl radical (HO 2 • ), arising from water radiolysis, were measured to high temperatures using custom-built flow-through cells with a multichannel optical detection system. The reaction with the HO 2 • radical was found to proceed via the formation of a metal-ion adduct species, Fe 2+ –HO 2 • . Additionally, the adduct’s molar extinction coefficient and its first-order decay rate coefficients are reported.

EXAFS investigation of the local structure in URu 2-x Fe x Si 2 : Evidence for distortions below 100 K

X-ray absorption measurements at the U L III , Ru K , and Fe K edges are reported for the hidden order (HO) material URu 2 - x Fe x Si 2 ( x = 0 , 0.05, 0.08, 0.10, 0.12, 0.15, and 0.20) as a function of x and temperature T . Furthermore, when Fe is substituted for Ru, the local structure about Fe shrinks slightly and the first neighbor Fe-Si bond length decreases by ≈ 0.05 Å . More importantly excess disorder is observed below 80–100 K (the coherence temperature T * ) in plots of the Debye-Waller factor σ 2 ( σ is the width of the pair distribution function); at low T the data deviate from the usual Einstein or correlated-Debye model plots. This excess disorder is most prominent for the Ru-Si bond, and σ 2 actually increases below 80 K. These results suggest a local orthorhombic distortion with B 1 g -like symmetry that develops below 80–100 K. A model that describes these local distortions is presented, and discussed in terms of other measurements that indicate a breaking of fourfold symmetry at low T . In addition, the square root of the difference between σ 2 ( T ) for the Ru-Si pair and a Debye fit to these data serves as an order parameter for this orthorhombic distortion, in the temperature range below 100 K. This quantity is a length related to a - b , the difference between the a and b lattice constants in the orthorhombic phase, and provides a connection between this distortion and T * . X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) measurements also show that there are no changes in the edge positions down to 0.1 eV for any edge as a function of x , for T in the HO regime.

Thermal Stability and Decomposition Products of P-Doped Ferrihydrite

This work aimed to determine the effect of various amounts of P admixtures in synthetic ferrihydrite on its thermal stability, transformation processes, and the properties of the products, at a broad range of temperatures up to 1000 °C. A detailed study was conducted using a series of synthetic ferrihydrites Fe 5 HO 8 ·4H 2 O doped with phosphates at P/Fe molar ratios of 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0. Ferrihydrite was synthesized by a reaction of Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 with 1 M KOH at room temperature in the presence of K 2 HPO 4 at pH 8.2. The products of the synthesis and the products of heating were characterized at various stages of transformation by using differential thermal analysis accompanied with X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Coprecipitation of P with ferrihydrite results in the formation of P-doped 2-line ferrihydrite. A high P content reduces crystallinity. Phosphate significantly inhibits the thermal transformation processes. The temperature of thermal transformation increases from below 550 to 710–750 °C. Formation of intermediate maghemite and Fe-phosphates, is observed. The product of heating up to 1000 °C contains hematite associated with rodolicoite FePO 4 and grattarolaite Fe 3 PO 7 . Higher P content greatly increases the thermal stability and transformation temperature of rodolicoite as well.

In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded in a single-bond geometry to four Fe and one H atom. Both Fe–Fe bond lengths are 2.73 Å. The Fe–H bond length is 1.82 Å. In the third Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ho and thirteen Fe atoms. There are one shorter (2.38 Å) and three longer (2.66 Å) Fe–Fe bond lengths. In the fourth Fe site, Fe is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three Fe and one H atom. The Fe–H bond length is 1.90 Å. H is bonded to two Ho and four Fe atoms to form HHo2Fe4 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeHo2Fe10 cuboctahedra, corners with four equivalent HHo2Fe4 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent FeHo2Fe10 cuboctahedra.
