Trebiskyite, the First Titanium-Decavanadate Mineral

Abstract Trebiskyite, Na3Mg2[TiV9O28]·22H2O, from the Pickett Corral mine, Bull Canyon, Montrose County, Colorado, USA, is the first mineral containing essential Ti as a component of a decavanadate polyanion. Crystals are thin prisms or needles up to ∼0.3 mm in length, occurring as individuals and in divergent sprays. Trebiskyite crystals are translucent yellow with vitreous luster and pale-yellow streak and are non-fluorescent under both longwave and shortwave ultraviolet illumination. The crystals exhibit elongation on [001] and are modified by several 0kl prism forms, possibly corresponding to {010}, {011}, and {012}. The Mohs hardness is ca. 2 based on scratch tests. Crystals have brittle tenacity with irregular fracture. No apparent cleavage, nor twinning, was evident, and the mineral is readily soluble in H2O. The density measured by flotation in methylene iodide-toluene mixture is 2.38(2) g/cm3. The calculated density is 2.352 g/cm3 for the empirical formula and 2.343 g/cm3 for the ideal formula. Electron microprobe analyses provided the empirical formula Na3.39Mg1.87V8.75Ti1.25O50H44.00, based on Ti + V = 10 apfu, O = 50 apfu, with the Na content having been determined from the refined crystal structure. Trebiskyite is monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 9.478(4), b = 21.426(11), c = 11.267(5) Å, β = 114.572(7)°, V = 2080.8(13) Å3, Z = 2. The structure was refined from 6642 reflections to a final R1 = 0.0517 for reflections I > 2σ(I). The structural unit of trebiskyite, (TiV9O28)7−, is built from a Ti-substituted decavanadate polyanion, (V10O28)6−, found in other members of the pascoite family. Chemically, trebiskyite is closely related to lasalite, Na2Mg2[V10O28]·20H2O, and huemulite, Na4Mg[V10O28]·24H2O; however, trebiskyite contains a novel structural arrangement that is unique among the decavanadate minerals. The interstitial complex in trebiskyite has the ideal formula {[Na3Mg2(H2O)19](H2O)3} and consists of chains of distorted octahedrally coordinated Na+ and regular Mg[O(H2O)5] octahedra. The observed low incident bond valence to the V1 site (4.45 vu) and marked deviation in vanadyl and V–Oeq bond lengths indicate that this site is host to the essential Ti4+ identified during chemical analyses.

Utilizing ink composition to tune bulk-electrode gas transport, performance, and operational robustness for a Fe-N-C catalyst in polymer electrolyte fuel cell

With lower site density and turnover frequency, platinum group metal (PGM)-free catalysts based electrodes are often greater than 50 mu m thick in order to increase performance across the fuel cell operating range. Consequently, PGM-free electrodes have an additional bulk electrode transport resistance beyond the local or aggregate level transport in thin platinum-based electrodes. In parallel to the development of more active and durable PGM-free catalysts, advancements in understanding the interplay between PGM-free electrode fabrication, bulk-electrode transport, proton conductivity and performance are needed. Here, the relationship between ionic and gas phase transport through the electrode thickness is modified by adjusting electrocatalyst and ionomer flocculation/interaction at the ink level. The influence of the ink composition (water/n-propanol content) is examined via various in-situ electrochemical and ex-situ characterization techniques and the resulting electrode structure/performance relationship contrasted with electrode performance robustness across a range of relative humidity (RH). For the electrocatalyst examined here, a water-rich (82 wt% H2O) ink formulation was favorable for operation at high RH due to improved molecular diffusion through larger electrode pores. In contrast, the improved interactions between ionomer and electrocatalyst enabled a more robust electrode and higher performance during low RH operation for the 50 wt% H2O content ink.

Water-Triggered Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Acetonitrile–Water Binary Solvent. Solvent Microstructure-Tuned Reactivity of Hydrophobic Solutes

The solvent-composition dependence of quenching triplet states of benzophenone (3 BP) by anisole in acetonitrile-water (ACN-H2O) mixtures was investigated by laser flash photolysis over the water mole fraction (xw) increasing from 0 to 0.92. Single exponential decay of 3 BP was observed over the whole composition range. The quenching rate constant consistently increased with the water content but increased far more rapidly with xw > 0.7. The water-triggered electron-transfer (ET) mechanism was confirmed by a steeply growing quantum yield of the benzophenone ketyl radical anion, escaping back-ET when the partial water volume exceeded the acetonitrile one. The water-content influence on the 3 BP quenching rate was described by a kinetic model accounting for the microheterogeneous structure of the ACN-H2O mixtures and the very different solubility of the reactants in the solvent components. According to the model, the ET mechanism occurs at a rate constant of 1.46 × 109 M-1 s -1 and is presumably assisted by the ACN-H2O hydrogen-bonding interaction.

Recombination of Autodissociated Water Ions in a Nanoscale Pure Water Droplet

The recombination of water ions has diverse scientific and practical implications, ranging from acid-base chemistry and biological systems to planetary environments and applications in fuel cell and carbon conversion technologies. While spatial confinement affects the physicochemical properties of water dynamics, its impact on the recombination process has rarely been studied. In this work, we investigate the dynamics of water, the water ion distribution, and the ion recombination process in water droplets as a function of droplet size through molecular dynamics simulations and adaptive quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical calculations. We compare the dynamics of recombination in water droplet sizes ranging from 100 to 18 000 waters, both in their interiors and on their surfaces. We found that the self-diffusion of water dramatically decreases in droplets with a diameter below 2.2 nm. Using a classical RexPoN force-field, we found that the ions in 1000 H2O's spend almost 50% of the time on the surface and 0.5 nm beneath it with a slight preference for OH- ion to reside longer on the surface. We estimate that, on average, recombination in these drops occurs at 400 ps in 1000 H2O's and 1 ns in 3000 H2O's. We also found that recombination is not limited by the local structure of the surface or the size of the droplet but can be influenced by the geometry of the water wire connecting the ions as they approach each other, which can often prevent recombination. Our results provide insights to the reaction microenvironments presented by nanoscopic water droplets.

Dynamic and relativistic effects on Pt–Pt indirect spin–spin coupling in aqueous solution studied by ab initio molecular dynamics and two- vs four-component density functional NMR calculations

Treating 195Pt nuclear magnetic resonance parameters in solution remains a considerable challenge from a quantum chemistry point of view, requiring a high level of theory that simultaneously takes into account the relativistic effects, the dynamic treatment of the solvent–solute system, and the dynamic electron correlation. A combination of Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD) and relativistic calculations based on two-component zeroth order regular approximation spin–orbit Kohn–Sham (2c-ZKS) and four-component Dirac–Kohn–Sham (4c-DKS) Hamiltonians is performed to address the solvent effect (water) on the conformational changes and JPtPt1 coupling. A series of bridged PtIII dinuclear complexes [L1–Pt2(NH3)4(Am)2–L2]n+ (Am = α–pyrrolidonate and pivalamidate; L = H2O, Cl−, and Br−) are studied. The computed Pt–Pt coupling is strongly dependent on the conformational dynamics of the complexes, which, in turn, is correlated with the trans influence among axial ligands and with the angle N–C–O from the bridging ligands. The J-coupling is decomposed in terms of dynamic contributions. The decomposition reveals that the vibrational and explicit solvation contributions reduce JPtPt1 of diaquo complexes (L1 = L2 = H2O) in comparison to the static gas-phase magnitude, whereas the implicit solvation and bulk contributions correspond to an increase in JPtPt1 in dihalo (L1 = L2 = X−) and aquahalo (L1 = H2O; L2 = X−) complexes. Relativistic treatment combined with CPMD shows that the 2c-ZKS Hamiltonian performs as well as 4c-DKS for the JPtPt1 coupling.

Surface chlorination of IrO2(110) by HCl

The ability to controllably chlorinate metal-oxide surfaces can provide opportunities for designing selective oxidation catalysts. In the present study, we investigated the surface chlorination of IrO2(110) by HCl using temperature programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We find that exposing IrO2(110) to HCl, followed by heating to 650 K in ultrahigh vacuum, produces nearly equal quantities of on-top and bridging Cl atoms on the surface, Clt and Clbr, where the Clbr atoms replace O-atoms that are removed from the surface by H2O formation. After HCl adsorption at 85 K, only H2O desorbs at low Cl coverages during TPRS, but HCl begins to desorb in increasing yields as the Cl coverage is increased above about 0.5 monolayer (ML). The desorption of Cl2 was not observed under any conditions, in good agreement with the high barrier for this reaction predicted by DFT. A maximum Cl coverage of 1 ML, with nearly equal coverages of Clt and Clbr atoms, could be generated by reacting HCl with IrO2(110) in UHV. Our results suggest that a kinetic competition between recombinative HCl and H2O desorption under the conditions studied limits the saturation Cl coverage to a value less than the 2 ML maximum predicted by thermodynamics. XPS further shows that the partitioning of Cl between the Clt and Clbr states can be altered by subjecting partially chlorinated IrO2(110) to reductive or oxidative treatments, demonstrating that the Cl site population can change dynamically in response to the gas environment. Our results provide insights for understanding the chlorination of IrO2(110) by HCl and can enable future experimental studies to determine how Cl-modification alters the surface chemical reactivity of IrO2(110) and potentially enhances selectivity toward partial oxidation chemistry.

Impact of Thermal Scattering Law on Similarity Assessment in Light-Water or Polyethylene-Moderated Systems

A collaborative effort between Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is underway to provide a technical basis and methodology for the criticality safety community to use the sum of fractions (SoF) method for generating limits for mixtures of “selected actinide nuclides” included in the ANSI/ANS 8.15 standard. The PNNL scope in this project is to define a range of mixtures of 233 U, 235 U, and 239 Pu moderated with either light water or polyethylene and to examine the critical masses for these mixtures. The ORNL scope is primarily to provide validation support for these studies. More complete discussion of the project and its validation aspects will be presented at the upcoming International Conference on Nuclear Criticality Safety (ICNC) this Fall in Sendai, Japan. Clear differences in benchmark similarity to application systems as assessed by the integral parameter ck are noted in the validation studies performed as part of this project as a function of moderator. The c k value is a correlation coefficient that represents that amount of shared uncertainty in k eff due to cross sections between two systems. Individual nuclide-reaction contributions between the two systems can be simply summed to arrive at the total c k value. Specifically, the c k values for light-water–moderated solution experiments are higher for a water-moderated application than for a polyethylene-moderated application. This result is neither totally unexpected nor surprising, but the magnitude of the difference was difficult to anticipate. The TSUNAMI sequence, in the SCALE 6.2.4 code package developed by ORNL, was used to generate eigenvalues and reactivity effects with perturbation-theory based approach through sensitivity coefficients for all nuclides in the system with all reactions and energy groups. The TSUNAMI-Indices and Parameters (IP) sequence then uses the sensitivity data generated through TSUNAMI to generate relational parameters (i.e., c k ) to determine the degree of similarity between systems. One detail of the SCALE material and data implementation must be discussed at this point. Several thermal scattering laws (TSLs) are available for 1 H. SCALE uses a different nuclide ID number for each TSL; essentially, each version of 1 H is treated as a unique nuclide. For example, 1 H bound in water ( 1 H-H2O) is assigned the nuclide ID 1001, whereas 1 H bound in polyethylene (h-poly) is assigned the nuclide ID 9001001. The same cross section data are used for all reactions in 1 H, regardless of TSL, except for scattering below the TSL cutoff energy. TSUNAMI-IP treats different nuclide IDs as different nuclides; thus, no uncertainty is shared between 1 H-H2O and h-poly, despite much of the same data, including covariance data, being used for both nuclides. This presents a question: how much of the difference in assessed similarity between water- and polyethylene-moderated systems is due to the moderators, and how much is caused by the treatment of 1 H-H2O and h poly with cross section and covariance data. The extended edits generated by TSUANMI-IP allow for an investigation of this issue specifically, as well as a demonstration of the general techniques available within TSUNAMI to understand the results of the similarity assessment. This paper presents and analyzes the similarity assessment of both water- and polyethylene-moderated systems for a single benchmark: PST-002-001.
