具有高效析氧催化性能的铁基双元金属有机框架纳米棒研究（英文）

析氧反应(OER)是电解水制氢的关键步骤,开发高效、稳定、廉价的OER电催化剂是目前该领域的研究热点.碱性电解液中的OER电催化剂成分以Mn、Fe、Co、Ni等为主,其中单一组分的Fe基化合物催化活性不高,但碱性电解液中的痕量铁杂质极易掺入Ni、Co等非Fe基材料的结构中,极大影响其OER催化性能,即现有大部分非Fe基化合物无法回避Fe的影响.为探究Fe基多金属电催化剂的活性规律,本文以结构清晰、组分可控的Fe基金属有机框架材料为基底,通过掺入Mn、Co、Ni等元素构建双元金属化合物Fe_2M-MIL-88B(M=Mn, Co, Ni),并围绕上述Fe基双金属电催化剂的构效关系展开研究.扫描电镜、透射电镜、X射线衍射光谱、红外光谱等表征结果表明,所制备的Fe基双金属材料均为具有MIL-88B构型的纳米棒,其特征三核金属簇Fe_3O中的一个铁原子被第二元金属所替代,从而形成相应的三核混合金属簇Fe_2MO.上述Fe基双金属催化剂的析氧催化活性顺序为:Fe_2Ni Fe_2Co Fe_2Mn Fe (0.1 M KOH电解液).其中, Fe_2Ni-MIL-88B电催化剂在10 mA cm~(2-)析氧电流对应的过电位仅需307 mV,明显低于OER基准电催化剂20 wt%Ir/C(376 mV).结合材料的元素组成、电化学活性比表面积(ECSA)及金属价态分析发现,第二元金属的引入会在不同程度上降低Fe的价态,其中Ni的影响程度最大, Co次之, Mn的影响最小.借助分子轨道理论对上述实验现象进行了解释.处于低自旋态的Ni~(2+)与邻近桥氧O~(2-)之间存在电子排斥作用,因此部分电子将从Ni~(2+)经O~(2-)转移至高自旋态的Fe3+,从而在Ni2+和Fe3+之间形成了较强的电子耦合作用.Co~(2+)具有和Ni~(2+)相似的构型,但影响稍小.而Mn~(2+)和Fe~(3+)同为高自旋态,对Fe~(3+)的电子结构影响最小,导致活性改善程度最低.密度泛函理论计算得到的自旋态变化情况印证了上述推测.该系列Fe基双金属材料的催化性能主要受金属活性位点的电子结构影响, Fe与邻近金属间形成的电子耦合作用修饰了金属活性位点的电子结构,从而提高了材料的OER本征催化活性.     

La+活化NH3的自旋禁阻反应机理

采用密度泛函理论的UB3LYP方法,计算研究了气相中La+活化NH3的两态反应机理。为了理解由La+活化NH3过程中自旋翻转行为,对自旋态分别为单重态和三重态两个反应势能面进行了计算研究,其结果表明,La+活化NH3的过程是通过自旋态势能面交叉产生的自旋禁阻反应,单、三重态势能面最低能量交叉点(MECP)附近的系间窜越导致H向La+转移和脱H2反应能垒的降低。此外,运用自然键轨道(NBO)布居分析,研究了反应中各个物种的成键特性。所确定的最低能量反应路径为:3La++NH3→3IM1→MECP→1TS12→1IM2→1TS23→1IM3→1LaNH++H2。

Nanophase iron phosphate, iron arsenate, iron vanadate, and iron molybdate minerals synthesized within the protein cage of ferritin

Nanoparticles of iron phosphate, iron arsenate, iron molybdate, and iron vanadate were synthesized within the 8 nm interior of ferritin. The synthesis involved reacting Fe(II) with ferritin in a buffered solution at pH 7.4 in the presence of phosphate, arsenate, vanadate, or molybdate. O2 was used as the oxidant to deposit the Fe(III) mineral inside ferritin. The rate of iron incorporation into ferritin was stimulated when oxo-anions were present. The simultaneous deposition of both iron and the oxo-anion was confirmed by elemental analysis and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The ferritin samples containing iron and one of the oxo-anions possessed different UV/vis spectra depending on the anion used during mineral formation. TEM analysis showed mineral cores with approximately 8 nm mineral particles consistent with the formation of mineral phases inside ferritin.     

Thermal dissociation of iron carbonyls during growth of iron whiskers

Methods for the preparation of iron whiskers in chemical transport reactions of thermal dissociation of iron penta- and dodecacarbonyls and carbidocarbonyl clusters Fe₅C(CO)₁₅ were described. The morphology, structure, and chemical composition of the whiskers were studied. The main factors determining the growth rate and mechanical properties of the whiskers were revealed. A model for the mechanism of thermal dissociation of iron carbonyls was proposed. This process was shown to be a chain radical ion reaction initiated via the scheme of activating complex formation. Analogies between the thermal dissociation of iron carbonyls in the adsorption layer and the known radical ion processes in the liquid and gas phases were found.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Pollution-free method for the determination of iron in iron ore

A method for the determination of total iron in iron ores and concentrates is described which avoids the use of mercuric chloride. The sample is decomposed either by an acid attack or by fusion with sodium peroxide. The hot sample solution in about 6M hydrochloric acid is treated with hot 10% stannous chloride solution till pale yellow, followed by addition of a slight excess of 2% titanous chloride solution; the excess is then oxidized with perchloric acid (1 + 1). The solution is rapidly cooled in ice-water, and the iron (II) is titrated with potassium dichromate (sodium diphenylsulphonate as indicator). The results show the same degree of precision, accuracy, and degree of interference as those obtained by the standard stannous chloride-mercuric chloride method.     

Mono-Substitution of iron pentacarbonyl catalyzed by polynuclear iron carbonyl anions

The specific formation of LFe(CO)₄ (L = PPh₃, P(OPh)₃, P(OMe)₃ can be achieved by the reaction of Fe(CO)₅ with L in the presence of a catalytic amount of iron carbonyl anion. A convenient synthetic procedure was developed in which the iron carbonyl anion catalyst is generated in situ. It is shown that the mechanism does not proceed by the simple cleavage of the Fe₂(CO)₈^2? or Fe₃(CO)₁₁^2? anions, because triphenylphosphine reacts with these anions in the absence of Fe(CO)₅ to produce (PPh₃)₂Fe(CO)₃.     

Flow-injection determination of iron(II), iron(III) and total iron with chemiluminescence detection

Iron(II) (1.0 × 10^?9–1.0 × 10^?6 M) is determined by the production of chemiluminescence in a luminol system in the absence of added oxidant. Iron(III) (2.0 × 10.8^?8–2.0 × 10^?6 M) is determined after reduction to iron(II) in a silver reductor mini-column in the flow system. Cobalt, chromium, copper and manganese interfere.     

Production of iron phosphide by reduction of polyphosphates with metallic iron

A composition of the products of interaction in the system (NaPO₃)₃-Fe under heating was studied by X-ray analysis and calculation of ΔG _T ^○ . Possible pathways of the formation of iron phosphides of different chemical composition and other co-products during heating of sodium and iron cyclotriphophate to 1000°C were described on the basis of thermodynamic and X-ray data. The conditions for obtaining individual types of iron phosphides Fe₃P, Fe₂P, and FeP by interaction of sodium cyclotriphophate with metallic iron under heating were found.     

Bacteria-mediated precursor-dependent biosynthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide and iron sulfide nanoparticles

The bacterium Actinobacter sp. has been shown to be capable of extracellularly synthesizing iron based magnetic nanoparticles, namely maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3) and greigite (Fe3S4) under ambient conditions depending on the nature of precursors used. More precisely, the bacterium synthesized maghemite when reacted with ferric chloride and iron sulfide when exposed to the aqueous solution of ferric chloride-ferrous sulfate. Challenging the bacterium with different metal ions resulted in induction of different proteins, which bring about the specific biochemical transformations in each case leading to the observed products. Maghemite and iron sulfide nanoparticles show superparamagnetic characteristics as expected. Compared to the earlier reports of magnetite and greigite synthesis by magnetotactic bacteria and iron reducing bacteria, which take place strictly under anaerobic conditions, the present procedure offers significant advancement since the reaction occurs under aerobic condition. Moreover, reaction end products can be tuned by the choice of precursors used.     

Low-temperature approach to synthesize iron nitride from amorphous iron

Iron nitride was prepared by a nitridation reaction in NH 3 using amorphous iron as precursor. The precursor was prepared at ambient temperature through the process of reducing ferrous sulfate by potassium borohydride, followed by the nitridation at different temperatures. The nitridation reaction occurred at 548 K, and -Fe 2-3N was formed at 573 K. The reaction temperature was much lower than that using crystallized iron because of the characteristics of the amorphous materials. The existence of a small quantity of boron (1.6 wt.%) improved the stability of the amorphous precursor, which guaranteed an amorphous iron precursor at nitriding temperatures in excess of 548 K.     

Catalytic microdetermination of iron
