Acetone to isobutene conversion on Zn x Ti y O z : Effects of TiO 2 facet

In this study, liquid-phase chemical grafting method was used to graft Zn onto TiO 2 with preferentially exposed (1 0 1) or (0 0 1) facet. The obtained Zn x Ti y O z materials were characterized using various techniques (e.g., XRD, Raman, DRIFTS etc.) and evaluated for the acetone-to-isobutene reaction. It was found that over TiO 2 (0 0 1), both terminal and bridging hydroxyls were readily titrated by Zn deposition, whereas a substantial amount of bridging hydroxyls on TiO 2 (1 0 1) remained. Although dominant Zn-O-terminated surface was obtained on two Zn x Ti y O z samples, bridging hydroxyls with high H-D exchange reactivity were observed on Zn x Ti y O z (1 0 1) compared with Zn x Ti y O z (0 0 1). The bridging hydroxyls showing rapid proton transfer efficiently stabilizes a transition state of diacetone alcohol intramolecular rearrangement for isobutene production as opposed to the diacetone alcohol dehydration.

Characterization of Recrystallized Grains During Static Recrystallization of Hot-Compressed Mg–Zn–Ca Alloys Using In Situ Far-Field High-Energy Diffraction Microscopy

In this study, we explored the effect of Zn content on the static recrystallization of three 80 pct hot-compressed alloys, Mg–0.5Zn–0.1Ca wt pct (ZX050), Mg–1Zn–0.1Ca wt pct (ZX10), and Mg–3.2Zn–0.1Ca wt pct (ZX30), using far-field high-energy microscopy (ff-HEDM). Individual recrystallized grains were tracked and their 3D centroid, relative volume, and grain-averaged crystallographic orientation were measured during annealing. These measurements were used to compare the recrystallization kinetics and texture evolution of recrystallized grains in ZX alloys as a function of the Zn content. Fully recrystallized microstructures were observed for the ZX30 and the ZX10 alloys after annealing at 230 °C and 330 °C, respectively. In contrast, only a partially recrystallized microstructure for the ZX050 alloy was observed after > 1 hour of annealing at 430 °C. The resistance to recrystallization with decreasing Zn content was also confirmed by detecting faster growth rates of recrystallized grains in the ZX10 and ZX30 alloys, and slower growth rates in the ZX050 alloy. The significant recrystallization texture weakening of the ZX10 and ZX30 alloys and the development of a basal texture in the ZX05 alloy were described based on the orientation dependency of nucleation and growth of recrystallized grains. The analysis demonstrated that texture weakening was associated with increasing Zn content in Mg–Zn–Ca alloys.

Deconvoluting the Magnetic Structure of the Commensurately Modulated Quinary Zintl Phase Eu 11– x Sr x Zn 4 Sn 2 As 12

The structure, magnetic properties, and 151 Eu and 119 Sn Mössbauer spectra of the solid-solution Eu 11– x Sr x Zn 4 Sn 2 As 12 are presented. A new commensurately modulated structure is described for Eu 11 Zn 4 Sn 2 As 12 ( R 3 m space group, average structure) that closely resembles the original structural description in the monoclinic C 2/ c space group with layers of Eu, puckered hexagonal Zn 2 As 3 sheets, and Zn 2 As 6 ethane-like isolated pillars. The solid-solution Eu 11– x Sr x Zn 4 Sn 2 As 12 (0 < x < 10) is found to crystallize in the commensurately modulated R 3 space group, related to the parent phase but lacking the mirror symmetry. Eu 11 Zn 4 Sn 2 As 12 orders with a saturation plateau at 1 T for 7 of the 11 Eu 2+ cations ferromagnetically coupled (5 K) and shows colossal magnetoresistance at 15 K. The magnetic properties of Eu 11 Zn 4 Sn 2 As 12 are investigated at higher fields, and the ferromagnetic saturation of all 11 Eu 2+ cations occurs at ~8 T. The temperature-dependent magnetic properties of the solid solution were investigated, and a nontrivial structure–magnetization correlation is revealed. The temperature-dependent 151 Eu and 119 Sn Mössbauer spectra confirm that the europium atoms in the structure are all Eu 2+ and that the tin is consistent with an oxidation state of less than four in the intermetallic region. The spectral areas of both Eu(II) and Sn increase at the magnetic transition, indicating a magnetoelastic effect upon magnetic ordering.

Ba 6 (Cu x Z y )Sn 4 S 16 (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi, Sn): High Chemical Flexibility Resulting in Good Nonlinear-Optical Properties

Seven acentric sulfides Ba 6 (Cu x Z y )Sn 4 S 16 (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi, Sn) were grown by a high-temperature salt flux method. The crystal structures of the Ba 6 (Cu x Z y )Sn 4 S 16 (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi, Sn) compounds were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction with the aid of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The Ba 6 (Cu x Z y )Sn 4 S 16 (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi) compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the Ba 6 Ag 4 Sn 4 S 16 structure type. The Sn-containing compound exhibits high structural similarity to Ba 6 (Cu x Z y )Sn 4 S 16 (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi) with the presence of an interstitial atomic position partially occupied by Sn atoms. The chemical bonding characteristics of Ba 6 (Cu 2.9 Sn 0.4 )Sn 4 S 16 were understood with electron localization function calculations coupled with crystal orbital Hamilton population calculations. The Ba–S and Cu–S interactions are dominantly ionic, but the Sn–S interactions consist of strong covalent bonding characteristics in Ba 6 (Cu 2.9 Sn 0.4 )Sn 4 S 16 . The monovalent Cu atoms, mixed with certain metals with various oxidation states, significantly shift the optical properties of the Ba 6 (Cu x Z y )Sn 4 S 16 (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi) compounds. This results in a good balance between the second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response and laser damage threshold (LDT). Ba 6 (Cu 1.9 Zn 1.1 )Sn 4 S 16 possesses a high SHG response and a high LDT of 2.8 × AGS and 3 × AGS, respectively. Here, a density functional theory calculation revealed that CuS 4 and SnS 4 tetrahedra significantly contribute to the SHG response in Ba 6 (Cu 2 Mg)Sn 4 S 16 , which also confirmed that CuS 4 tetrahedra are crucial for the stability and optical properties of the Ba 6 (Cu x Z y )Sn 4 S 16 (Z = Mg, Mn, Zn, Cd, In, Bi, Sn) compounds revealed by electronic structure analysis.

Production of fast-charge Zn-based aqueous batteries via interfacial adsorption of ion-oligomer complexes

Abstract Aqueous zinc batteries are attracting interest because of their potential for cost-effective and safe electricity storage. However, metallic zinc exhibits only moderate reversibility in aqueous electrolytes. To circumvent this issue, we study aqueous Zn batteries able to form nanometric interphases at the Zn metal/liquid electrolyte interface, composed of an ion-oligomer complex. In Zn||Zn symmetric cell studies, we report highly reversible cycling at high current densities and capacities (e.g., 160 mA cm −2 ; 2.6 mAh cm −2 ). By means of quartz-crystal microbalance, nuclear magnetic resonance, and voltammetry measurements we show that the interphase film exists in a dynamic equilibrium with oligomers dissolved in the electrolyte. The interphase strategy is applied to aqueous Zn||I 2 and Zn||MnO 2 cells that are charged/discharged for 12,000 cycles and 1000 cycles, respectively, at a current density of 160 mA cm −2 and capacity of approximately 0.85 mAh cm −2 . Finally, we demonstrate that Zn||I 2 -carbon pouch cells (9 cm 2 area) cycle stably and deliver a specific energy of 151 Wh/kg (based on the total mass of active materials in the electrode) at a charge current density of 56 mA cm −2 .

From magnetic order to quantum disorder in the Zn-barlowite series of S = 1/2 kagomé antiferromagnets

We report a comprehensive muon spectroscopy study of the Zn-barlowite series of $S=\frac{1}{2}$ kagomé antiferromagnets, Zn x Cu 4-x (OH) 6 FBr, for x= 0.00 to 0.99(1). By combining muon spin relaxation and rotation measurements with state-of-the-art density-functional theory muon-site calculations, we observe the formation of both μ–F and μ–OH complexes in Zn-barlowite. From these stopping sites, implanted muon spins reveal the suppression of long-range magnetic order into a possible quantum spin liquid state upon the increasing concentration of Zn-substitution. In the parent compound (x = 0), static long-range magnetic order below T N = 5 K manifests itself in the form of spontaneous oscillations in the time-dependent muon asymmetry signal consistent with the dipolar fields expected from the calculated muon stopping sites and the previously determined magnetic structure of barlowite. Meanwhile, in the x = 1.0 end-member of the series—in which antiferromagnetic kagomé layers of Cu 2+ $S=\frac{1}{2}$ moments are decoupled by diamagnetic Zn 2+ ions—we observe that dynamic magnetic moment fluctuations persist down to at least 50 mK, indicative of a quantum disordered ground state. We demonstrate that this crossover from a static to dynamic magnetic ground state occurs for compositions of Zn-barlowite with x > 0.5, which bears resemblance to the dynamical behaviour of the widely studied Zn-paratacamite series that contains the quantum spin liquid candidate herbertsmithite.

Harvesting 62 Zn from an aqueous cocktail at the NSCL

“Isotope harvesting” is a technique that offers access to exotic radionuclides created as by-products during nuclear science research. Ongoing exploratory work at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) is directed towards the production and extraction of rare radionuclides from a flowing-water target and intends to pave the way for future harvesting efforts at the upcoming Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). Here in this paper, we present the collection of 62 Zn from an aqueous matrix irradiated with a 150 MeV/nucleon 78Kr beam, while synergistically capturing other gaseous reaction products. In addition to the production rate for 62 Zn (9.08(30)E-5 62 Zn per incoming 78 Kr), the rates of formation for several other radionuclides were determined as well. The purification of 62 Zn from a large number of co-produced radionuclides was performed by anion exchange chromatography, allowing the isolation of 80.5(5.2) % of the generated 62 Zn. With the decay of 62 Zn the radioactive daughter 62 Cu is generated, and with the isolation of pure 62 Cu eluate, the principle of a medical radionuclide generator could be demonstrated. To illustrate the applicability of the obtained 62 Zn, the isolated product was used in free and DTPA-labelled form in a proof of principle plant uptake study with garden cress employing phosphor imaging for visualization.

According to structural characterization by x-ray diffraction and atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy, Eu 3-δ Zn x Sn y As 3 is found to crystallize in a hexagonal symmetry with the space group P6 3 /mmc (No. 194). After examining different specimens, we conclude that their stoichiometry is fixed at ~Eu 2.6 Zn 0.65 Sn 0.85 As 3 , which meets the chemical charge balance. Eu 3-δ Zn x Sn y As 3 is composed of septuple (Eu 1-δ Sn y As 2 )-Eu-(Zn x As)-Eu sequences. The shortest Eu–Eu distance in the system is between two Eu layers separated by Zn x As along the c-axis. Magnetization measurement shows an antiferromagnetic ordering in Eu 3-δ Zn x Sn y As 3 at T N ~ 12 K, where the magnetic easy-axis is along the c-axis, and Mössbauer spectroscopy observes magnetic hyperfine splitting on Eu and Sn at 6 K. Magnetic anisotropy is significantly different from the ones along the ab-plane in other layered Eu-based magnetic semimetals. Heat capacity measurements confirm the magnetic transition around 12 K. Electrical resistivity measurement indicates semiconductor behavior with a band gap of ~0.86 eV. Finally, various Eu-based magnetic semiconductors could provide a tunable platform to study potential topological and magnetic properties.

Mechanisms of Zn removal from water by amorphous geopolymer: Molecular-level insights from X-ray absorption spectroscopy, isotope fractionation, and surface complexation modeling

Porous geopolymers have attracted widespread attention as promising heavy metal adsorbents that can be synthesized from aluminosilicate solid wastes. However, the precise microstructural evidence for adsorbed heavy metals on geopolymers remains unclear due to the insensitivity of conventional characterization techniques on minerals with amorphous structure and surface disorder. Batch adsorption and column experiments coupled with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), Zn stable isotope, and surface complexation model (SCM) were employed to reveal the Zn removal mechanisms with coal fly ash porous geopolymer (CFAPG) at a molecular scale. The macroscopic kinetic and isothermal adsorption of Zn on CFAPG were well described by the pseudo-second-order model and Bi_Langmuir equation, respectively, indicating the presence of abundant heterogeneous active sites on the CFAPG surface. Further, two types of active sites on the CFAPG surface were identified by XAS coupled with Zn isotopes in batch experiments at pH <= 6.0: one is pH-dependent and associated with tetrahedral zinc coordi-nation, and the other is pH-insensitive and associated with octahedral zinc coordination; these sites were confirmed by the bidentate SCM as the variable charge site (surface complexation, >S-OH) and the permanent negative charge site (cation exchange, >X - ), respectively. Furthermore, the important contribution of surface co -precipitation besides surface complexation and cation exchange to the Zn adsorption on CFAPG was identified by XAS coupled with SCM in a flow-through column experiment at pH >6.0. These investigations provide a systemic understanding of the Zn adsorption mechanisms on CFAPG and an SCM reference for the application and prediction of geopolymers in heavy metal-contaminated water remediations.
