AbstractHydrogen passivation of non-radiative defects increases the luminescence intensity from silicon nanocrystals. In this study, photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL were used to investigate the chemical kinetics of the hydrogen passivation process. Isochronal and isothermal annealing sequences were used to determine the reaction kinetics for the absorption and desorption of hydrogen, using the generalised consistent simple thermal (GST) model proposed by Stesmans for Pb defects at planar Si/SiO2 interfaces. This included determination of the activation energies and rate constants for the forward and reverse reactions as well as the associated spread in activation energies. The reaction kinetics determined from such measurements were found to be in excellent agreement with those for the passivation of Pb defects at planar Si/SiO2 interfaces, suggesting the nanocrystal emission process is also limited by such defects. These results provide useful model data as well as insight into the processing conditions needed to achieve optimum passivation in H2. As an extension to the work, a preliminary study into passivation by atomic hydrogen was pursued via a post-metallization Al anneal (alneal). A considerable gain in luminescence efficiency was achieved over the previously optimised passivation in H2.

<p><a></a><a>Toluene’s removal mechanism in the atmosphere is mainly attributed to OH radical, which includes major OH-addition and minor H-abstraction reactions. The cresols and RO2 derived from OHadducts reacting to O2 have significant impacts on the generation of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) and O3. However, computed branching ratios of various OH-adducts at various theoretical levels are largely inconsistent, mainly because previously reported barrier heights of OH-addition reaction showed a strong method dependence. In the present study, we demonstrate that this reaction involves a nonnegligible anharmonic effect (during the process of OH moving to the benzene ring), which has been overlooked by previous studies. The reaction kinetics of toluene + OH was systematically studied by a high-level quantum chemical method (CCSD(T)-F12/cc-pVQZ-F12//B2PLYP-D3/6-311++G(d,p)) combined with RRKM/master equation simulations. The particle-in-a-box approximation was used to treat the anharmonicity in this system. The final total rate coefficient is calculated to be 2.60 × 10−12 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 at 300 K and 1 atm. The main products for toluene + OH are computed as ortho-adducts (50.8%), benzyl radical + H2O (21.1%), ipso-adduct (16.3%), para-adduct (6.1%), and meta-adduct (4.6%). Our results indicate that both high level quantum chemical calculations for the crucial barrier heights and appropriate treatments for the anharmonicity determine the accuracy of the final computed total rate coefficients and branching ratios. Further analysis on the branching ratios of various reaction channels provides insight into the atmosphere-initiated oxidation of toluene. </a></p>

The reaction of Cr(III) with chelate-forming carboxylate ligands can be monitored at the low ligand concentrations typical of natural waters by chemiluminescence analysis of unreacted Cr(III). This technique is utilized here for the measurement of Cr(III) reaction kinetics with oxalate, salicylate, and humic acid over a wider ligand concentration range than previously reported. Variation of the pH and ligand concentrations allowd the determination of rates of reaction by three pathways with different pH dependencies. The magnitude of rate constants of these pathways for Cr(III) with inorganic (Cl−, SCN−) and carboxylate ligands gives insight into the reaction pathways for the environmentally important ligand humic acid. Keywords: Cr(III), oxalate, salicylate, humic acid.

Abstract In a previous paper a technique for making kinetic measurements adiabatically instead of isothermally was discussed, and the possible advantages of this technique in reactions involving polymers was indicated. In the present communication, the theory is supported by an analysis of published data relating to the vulcanization of butadiene-styrene copolymer. There are considerable gaps in our knowledge of the overall chemical changes concerned in the vulcanization of various rubbers, quite apart from the kinetic interpretation of rate measurements and the postulation of elementary steps. Because of the difficulties involved, isothermal rate measurements have not yet given much insight into the kinetics or the chemistry of the time-honored sulfur vulcanization discovered over a hundred years ago. The difficulty of maintaining the temperature constant against the considerable heat of reaction is only one of the obstacles ; that of finding a convenient and accurate measure of the progress of vulcanization considered as a chemical reaction is perhaps even greater. The difficulties of the adiabatic technique are essentially different in nature.

<p><i>Operando</i> spectroelectrochemical analysis is used to determine the water oxidation reaction kinetics for hematite photoanodes prepared using four different synthetic procedures. Whilst these photoanodes exhibit very different current / voltage performance, their underlying water oxidation kinetics are found to be almost invariant. Lower photoanode performance was found to correlate with the observation of optical signals indicative of charge accumulation in mid-gap oxygen vacancy states, indicating these states do not contribute directly to water oxidation.</p>
