Interaction of Au, Ag, and Bi ions with Ba2YCu3O(7-y) - Implications for superconductor applications

Results are presented on the reactions of Au, Ag, and Bi ions with Ba2YCu3O(7-y) oxides and on the properties of the resultant materials. The results indicate that Au(3+) structural chemistry makes gold an excellent candidate for multiphase structures of the Ba2Y(Cu/1-x/Au/x/)3O(7-y)-type substituted superconductors. Silver is structurally and chemically compatible with the perovskite structure, but when it forms a second phase, it does so without the destruction of the superconducting phase, making silver a useful metal for metal/ceramic applications. On the other hand, bismuth was shown to degrade Tc phase or to form other phases, indicating that it may not be useful in applications with rare-earth-based superconductors.

On the chemical composition of L-chondrites

Radiochemical neutron activation analysis of Ag, As, Au, Bi, Co, Cs, Ga, In, Rb, Sb, Te, Tl, and Zn and major element data in 14 L4-6 and 3 LL5 chondrites indicates that the L group is unusually variable and may represent at least 2 subgroups differing in formation history. Chemical trends in the S/Fe rich subgroup support textural evidence indicating late loss of a shock formed Fe-Ni-S melt; the S/Fe poor subgroup seemingly reflects nebular fractionation only. Highly mobile In and Zn apparently reflect shock induced loss from L chondrites. However, contrasting chemical trends in several L chondrite sample sets indicate that these meteorites constitute a more irregular sampling of, or more heterogeneous parent material than do carbonaceous or enstatite chondrites. Data for 15 chondrites suggest higher formation temperatures and/or degrees of shock than for LL5 chondrites.

Corrosion of novel reactive silver ink and commercial silver-based metallizations in diluted acetic acid

Silver-based metallizations in photovoltaic modules are susceptible to corrosion by acetic acid generated in ethylene vinyl acetate encapsulated modules, resulting in power losses over time. Here, three silver-based metallizations are exposed to diluted acetic acid, in concentrations representative of that found in field-exposed modules. Compositional, morphological, and structural changes of the metallizations are studied over 3000 h of exposure to diluted acetic acid using Raman spectroscopy mapping, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The three metallizations studied are: 1) a commercial high-temperature fire-through Ag paste, commonly used for Si diffused junction solar cells; 2) a commercial low-temperature paste normally used for silicon heterojunction cells; and 3) a novel low-temperature reactive silver ink shown to be suitable for photovoltaic applications. We find distinct corrosion rates for the high-temperature silver paste and reactive silver ink in the presence of diluted acetic acid. However, the low-temperature silver paste appears to be more corrosion resistant, likely due to a polymer layer that protects the silver particles.

Electron Microscopic Examination of an Irradiated TRISO Coated Particle of AGR-2 Experiment: AGR2-222-RS019

The transmission electron microscopic (TEM) examination of an irradiated tristructural isotropic (TRISO) coated particle from advanced gas reactor (AGR) 2 fuel Compact 2-2-2 is presented in this report. Compact 2-2-2 refers to the compact in Capsule 2 at Level 2 of Stack 2. The examination on AGR2 222 RS019 is focused on the interface between the silicon carbide (SiC) to inner pyrolytic carbon (IPyC) layer, central part of SiC, and the interface between SiC and outer pyrolytic carbon layer. The SiC grain boundary distribution and associated fission product precipitates were characterized by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and precession electron diffraction (PED) in the transmission electron microscope. Two separate locations on SiC layer were selected for on the basis of the intact of the buffer layer in the irradiated TRISO particle. The key observation in this particle is that the compositional nature of grain boundary precipitates is more complex near IPyC/SiC layer where Pd, Pd-Ag, Pd-U containing precipitates can be observed. However, the compositions of precipitate towards outer most region of SiC mainly contain Pd. Ag has been observed in the IPyC/SiC layer in one of the two locations. Comparison of the results to previously irradiated and analyzed, Variant 3, safety tested AGR-1 TRISO particles (AGR1-433-001 and AGR1 222-RS004) showed the grain boundary distributions have some noticeable differences. The differences in coincident site lattice grain boundary and misorientation angles are possibly inherent to the fabrication process. Neutron irradiation induced void distribution has been found to be nonuniform. A high concentration of smaller voids is found at stacking faults compared to those in the SiC matrix. Larger void sizes are observed in the SiC location that is near to the broken buffer layer. This void size variation with integrity of buffer layer can potentially affect the fission product retention. However, the average void size continuously decreases along the radius of SiC in both locations.

Chalcogenide-based aerogels, known as chalcogels, represent a novel class of nanoparticle-based porous amorphous materials characterized by high surface polarizability and Lewis base properties, exhibiting promising applications in clean energy and separation science. This work presents a K–Co–Mo–S x (KCMS) chalcogel as a highly efficient sorbent for heavy metal ions and details its sorption mechanisms. Its incoherent structure comprises Mo 2 V (S 2 ) 6 and Mo 3 IV S(S 6 ) 2 anion-like clusters with four- and six-coordinated Co–S polyhedra, forming a Co–Mo–S covalent network that hosts K + ions through electrostatic attraction. The interactions of KCMS with heavy metal ions, particularly Pb 2+ and Ag + , reveal that KCMS is exceptionally effective in removing these ions from ppm concentrations down to trace levels (≤5 ppb). KCMS rapidly removes Ag + (≈81.7%) and Pb 2+ (≈99.5%) within five minutes, achieving >99.9% removal within an hour, with a distribution constant K d ≥10 8 mL g -1 . KCMS exhibits an impressive removal capacity of 1378 mg g -1 for Ag + and 1146 mg g -1 for Pb 2+ , establishing it as one of the most effective materials known to date for heavy metal removal. This material is also effective for the removal of Ag + and Pb 2+ along with Hg 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Cd 2+ from various water sources even in the presence of highly concentrated and chemically diverse cations, anions, and organic species. Analysis of the post-interacted KCMS by synchrotron X-ray pair distribution function (PDF), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) revealed that the sorption of Pb 2+ , Ag + , and Hg 2+ mainly occurs by the exchange of K + and Co 2+ . Despite being amorphous, this material exhibits unprecedented ion-exchange mechanisms both for the ionically and covalently bound K + and Co 2+ , respectively. In conclusion, this discovery advances our knowledge of amorphous gels and guides material synthesis principles for the highly selective and efficient removal of heavy metal ions from water.
