Quantum paramagnetism in a non-Kramers rare-earth oxide: Monoclinic Pr 2 Ti 2 O 7

Little is so far known about the magnetism of the A 2 B 2 O 7 monoclinic layered perovskites that replace the spin-ice supporting pyrochlore structure for r A /r B > 1.78. We show that high quality monoclinic Pr 2 Ti 2 O 7 single crystals with a three-dimensional network of non-Kramers Pr 3+ ions that interact through edge-sharing superexchange interactions, form a singlet ground-state quantum paramagnet that does not undergo any magnetic phase transitions down to, at least, 1.8 K. The chemical phase stability, structure, and magnetic properties of the layered perovskite Pr 2 Ti 2 O 7 were investigated using x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and magnetization measurements. Synthesis of polycrystalline samples with the nominal compositions of Pr 2 Ti 2+x O 7 (–0.16 ≤ x ≤ 0.16 ) showed that deviations from the Pr 2 Ti 2 O 7 stoichiometry lead to secondary phases of related structures including the perovskite phase Pr 2/3 TiO 3 and the orthorhombic phases Pr 4 Ti 9 O 24 and Pr 2 TiO 5 . No indications of site disordering (stuffing and antistuffing) or vacancy defects were observed in the Pr 2 Ti 2 O 7 majority phase. A procedure for growth of high-structural-quality stoichiometric single crystals of Pr 2 Ti 2 O 7 by the traveling solvent floating zone method is reported. Thermomagnetic measurements of single-crystalline Pr 2 Ti 2 O 7 reveal an isolated singlet ground state that we associate with the low-symmetry crystal electric-field environments that split the (2J + 1 = 9)-fold degenerate spin-orbital multiplets of the four differently coordinated Pr 3+ ions into 36 isolated singlets resulting in an anisotropic temperature-independent van Vleck susceptibility at low T. Here, a small isotropic Curie term is associated with 0.96(2)% noninteracting Pr 4+ impurities.

Experimental and modeling studies of PR and ND oxalate solubility to high ionic strengths: Insight into actinide(III) oxalates

Actinide oxalates are chemical compounds important to nuclear industry, ranging from actinide separation in waste reprocessing, to production of specialty actinides, and to disposal of high level nuclear waste (HLW) and spent nuclear fuel (SNF). In this study, the solubility constants for Pr 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O and Nd 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O by performing solubility experiments in HNO 3 and mixtures of HNO 3 and H 2 C 2 O 4 at 23.0 ± 0.2 °C have been determined. The targeted starting materials, Pr 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O and Nd 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O, were successfully synthesized at room temperature using PrCl 3 , NdCl 3 and oxalic acid as the source metrials. Then, we utilized the targeted solubility-controlling phases to conduct solubility measurements. There was no phase change over the entire periods of experiments, demonstrating that Pr 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O and Nd 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O were the solubility-controlling phases in our respective experiments. Based on our experimental data, we have developed a thermodynamic model for Pr 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O and Nd 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O in the mixtures of HNO 3 and H 2 C 2 O 4 to high ionic strengths. The model for Pr 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O reproduces well the reported experimental data for Pu 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O, which are not utilized for the model development, demonstrating that Pr(III) is an excellent analog for Pu(III). Similarly, the model for Nd 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O reproduces the solubility of Am 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O and Cm 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O. The Pitzer model was used for the calculation of activity coefficients. Based on the published, well established model for dissociation constants for oxalic acid and stability constants for actinide-oxalate complexes [i.e., AmC 2 O 4 + , and Am(C 2 O 4 ) 2 - ] to high ionic strengths, we have obtained the solubility constants (log 10 K 0 ) for the following reactions at 25 °C, Pr 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O ⇌ 2Pr 3+ + 3C 2 O 4 2- + 10H 2 O(l). Nd 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O ⇌ 2Nd 3+ + 3C 2 O 4 2- + 10H 2 O(l). to be -30.82 ± 0.30 (2σ), and - 31.14 ± 0.35 (2σ), respectively. These values for can be directly applied to Pu 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O, Am 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O and Cm 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O. The model established for actinide oxalates by this study provides the needed knowledge with regard to solubilities of actinide/REE oxalates at various ionic strengths, and is expected to find applications in many fields, including the geological disposal of nuclear waste and the mobility of REE under the surface conditions, as Pr 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O and Nd 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O can be regarded as the pure Pr and Nd end-members of deveroite, a recently discovered natural REE oxalate with the following stoichiometry, (Ce 1.01 Nd 0.33 La 0.32 Pr 0.11 Y 0.11 Sm 0.01 Pb 0.04 U 0.03 Th 0.01 Ca 0.04 ) 2.01 (C 2 O 4 ) 2.99 •9.99H 2 O. Regarding its importance in the geological disposal of nuclear waste, Am 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O/Pu 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O/Cm 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O can be the source-term phase for actinides, as demonstrated by the instance in the disposal in clay/shale formations. This is exemplified by the stability of Am 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 •10H 2 O in comparison with Am(OH) 3 (am), Am(OH) 3 (s) and AmCO 3 (OH)(s) under the relevant geological repository conditions.

Improving the performance for direct electrolysis of CO 2 in solid oxide electrolysis cells with a Sr 1.9 Fe 1.5 Mo 0.5 O 6– δ electrode via infiltration of Pr 6 O 11 nanoparticles

Direct CO 2 electrolysis using solid oxide electrolysis cells (CO 2 -SOECs) holds promise to efficiently convert carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and oxygen. Cathodes with desirable catalytic activity and chemical stability play a critical role in the development of direct CO 2 -SOECs. Although Sr 2 Fe 1.5 Mo 0.5 O 6–δ (SFM) has exhibited promise for direct CO 2 -SOECs due to its redox stability, it suffers from insufficient activity for the CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR). Here we report interface engineering of nanosized Pr 6 O 11 on the SFM cathode obtained through infiltration to promote the CO 2 RR performance for direct CO 2 -SOECs. The effect of Pr 6 O 11 loading on the performance of the CO 2 RR is systematically investigated. At 800 °C, the current density of the Pr 6 O 11 infiltrated SFM cathode with an optimum Pr 6 O 11 loading of 14.8 wt% reaches 1.61 A cm –2 at 1.5 V, more than double that of the SFM cathode (0.76 A cm –2 ) under the same operating conditions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) analysis indicate that the adsorption ability of CO 2 on the SFM cathode has been significantly improved by the formation of Pr 6 O 11 . Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of CO 2 measurements further manifest that a 14.8 wt% Pr 6 O 11 -SFM cathode has better CO desorption capacity. In addition, polarization resistance of the SFM cathode has significantly decreased with the addition of Pr 6 O 11 . Three-electrode measurement was used to analyze the improved electrode kinetics. Finally, these results demonstrate that the formation of Pr 6 O 11 in the SFM cathode through infiltration is a promising approach for increasing CO 2 RR activity for CO 2 -SOECs.

Pr is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.65 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Pr and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.54 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Pr and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.65 Å. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Pr and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.30 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. In the second Cl site, Cl is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent O atoms.
