ABSTRACTStudies of the mixed-metal interface in metal impregnated alumina have indicated the possibility of much metal-metal and metal-substrate interaction. Studies were carried out on NiCu/Al2O3 system which was evaluated to develop a better understanding of the forces that drive modification of the catalytic selectivity of Ni in the presence of Cu. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), Powder X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and theoretical calculations were carried out on this bimetallic system, using Ni,Ag/Al2O3 as a reference as Ni shows negligible electron perturbation on co-adsorbance with Ag onto alumina. XRD results indicate that gross modification of the electronic fields of Ni and Cu are due to direct coupling and intercalation into the alumina matrix. As a result of this phenomena, these materials may form a good base for the development of novel ceramics based on mixed-metal interactions where the intermetallic perturbations are driven by the substrate effects.

An X-ray diffraction study of [Pt3S2(PMe2Ph)6][BEt4]2 shows that it crystallises in the monoclinic space group, C2/c, with a = 15.447(2), b = 18.033(3), c = 26.505(5) Å, β = 96.73(2)°. The cation consists of three, distorted, square-planar cis-PtS2(PMe2Ph)2 moieties combined by sharing of the two sulphur atoms to produce a central Pt3S2 unit with C2 symmetry and Pt—Pt distances of 3.182(1) Å (one edge) and 3.108(1) Å (two edges). Complete analysis and computer simulation of 31P{1H} and 195Pt{1H} nuclear magnetic resonance spectra give values for 1J(Pt—P), 3202 Hz; 3J(Pt—P), −25 Hz; and 2J(Pt—Pt), 476 Hz. The structure is compared with previous results for analogous Ni and Pd complexes and the structural and nmr parameters are discussed with reference to the possibility of metal–metal interactions.

11% Pt/C, 10% Pt + 1%Os/C, 9% Pt + 2%Os/C, 8% Pt + 3%Os/C, 7% Pt + 4%Os/C, 6% Pt + 5%Os/C and 5%Pt + 6% Os/C catalysts have been prepared for methanol oxidation reaction. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and cyclic voltammetry have been used to understand the nature of the species present in these catalysts. 7% Pt + 4% Os/C was the most active catalyst, while 8% Pt + 3% Os/C was the least active one. It is found that the metal particle size and distribution on the carbon support, the surface composition and the oxidation states of the metal particles, the metal-metal and metal support interactions are important parameters to define the activity of the catalyst.

Mn4+ activated LaMgAl11O19 (LMA/Mn4+) with red emitting phosphor was obtained by sintering under air conditioning. The X-ray diffraction pattern Rietveld refinement results reveal that three six-fold coordinated Al sites are substituted by Mn4+ ions. Furthermore, the chemical valence state of manganese in the LMA host was further confirmed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Photoluminescence emission (PL) and excitation (PLE) spectra of LMA/Mn4+ as well as the lifetime were measured, and the 663 nm emission is ascribed to the 2Eg→4A2g from the 3d3 electrons in the [MnO6]8− octahedral complex. The emission spectrum matches well with the absorption of phytochrome. Temperature-dependent PL spectra show that the color changes of the phosphor at 420 K are 0.0110 for Δx and −0.0109 for Δy. Moreover, doping Zn2+ and Mg2+ ions in the host enhances the emission intensity of Mn4+ ions. These results highlight the potential of LMA/Mn4+ phosphor for a light-emitting diode (LED) plant lamp.

Achieving control over the phase-selective synthesis of mixed metal oxide materials remains a challenge to the synthetic chemist due to diffusion-driven growth, which necessitates the search for new compounds with pre-existent chemical bonds between the phase-forming elements. We report here a simple solvothermal process to fabricate LiCrO2 and Li2CrO4 nanoparticles from bimetallic single-source precursors, demonstrating the distinctive influence of molecular design and calcination conditions on the resulting nanomaterials. The chemical identity of [Li2Cr(OtBu)4Cl(THF)2] (1) and [LiCr(OtBu)2(PyCH=COCF3)2(THF)2] (2) was unambiguously established in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing the formation of a coordination polymeric chain in compound 1, whereas electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) studies revealed a monomeric structure in solution. TEM analysis of synthesized LiCrO2 nanoparticles showed nearly uniform particles size of approximately 20 nm. The sensitivity of the LiCrO2 phase towards oxidation was investigated by X-ray diffraction, revealing the formation of the stable Li2CrO4 after calcination in air.

AbstractThe citrate precursor has been used to synthesize nanocrystalline Mg-Zn-ferrites. The nature of the prepared precursor is characterized and compared with those of the precursors studied earlier, prepared by the same process. The study has been performed by inorganic and organic elemental analyses, Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), Electronic absorption spectrometry in the UV-VIS region, Differential Thermal analysis/ Thermogravimetry (DTA-TG) analyses, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The collected results determined the precursor as a coordination polymer with monomer unit (NH4)4{M [Fe(C6H5O7)2]2}, where M=Zn or Mg.

MoS2/C3N4 (MS-CN) composite photocatalysts have been synthesized by three different methods, i.e., in situ-photodeposition, sonochemical, and thermal decomposition. The crystal structure, optical properties, chemical composition, microstructure, and electron transfer properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroyscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and in situ electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. During photodeposition, the 2H MoS2 phase was formed upon reduction of [MoS4]2− by photogenerated conduction band electrons and then deposited on the surface of CN. A thin crystalline layer of 2H MoS2 formed an intimate interfacial contact with CN that favors charge separation and enhances the photocatalytic activity. The 2H MS-CN phase showed the highest photocatalytic H2 evolution rate (2342 μmol h−1 g−1, 25 mg catalyst/reaction) under UV-vis light irradiation in the presence of lactic acid as sacrificial reagent and Pt as cocatalyst.

The different Na contents (0 ≤ Na ≤ 0.35, based on mole of NaOH) of doped Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3(BST) powders synthesized via sol-gel process were studied. The substitution of Na+ions into a partial A-site of BST powders provided the reduction in vacancy defects as confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and UV-visible spectroscopy. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra appeared in violet, blue, and green emissions. The phase structure, oxygen deficiency, and titanium deficiency of BST powders were further investigated as a function of Na content. X-ray diffraction (XRD) result was found that low Na content (0 ≤ Na ≤ 0.15) exhibited the tetragonal structure, while it was transformed to the cubic phase when high Na content. Moreover, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) result revealed that the partial oxidation of Ti3+ions to Ti4+ions was observed at Na content lower than 0.05 mole, while more addition of Na content resulted in the increasing of the oxygen and the titanium deficiency. Furthermore, the result indicated the oxygen deficiency significantly formed at the A-site of Sr atoms more than that of Ba atoms.
