A Novel High-Density Phase and Amorphization of Nitrogen-Rich 1H-Tetrazole (CH₂N₄) under High Pressure.

ABSTRACT: The high-pressure behaviors of nitrogen-rich 1H-tetrazole (CH₂N₄) have been investigated by in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman scattering up to 75 GPa. A first crystalline-to-crystalline phase transition is observed and identified above ~3 GPa with a large volume collapse (∼18% at 4.4 GPa) from phase I to phase II. The new phase II forms a dimer-like structure, belonging to P1 space group. Then, a crystalline-to-amorphous phase transition takes place over a large pressure range of 13.8 to 50 GPa, which is accompanied by an interphase region approaching paracrystalline state. When decompression from 75 GPa to ambient conditions, the final product keeps an irreversible amorphous state. Our ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectrum suggests the final product exhibits an increase in molecular conjugation.

Pressure-driven electronic phase transition in the high-pressure phase of nitrogen-rich 1H-tetrazoles.

Project description:High-energy-density materials (HEDMs) require new design rules collected from experimental and theoretical results and a proposed mechanism. One of the targeted systems is the nitrogen-rich compounds as precursors for possible polymeric nitrogen or its counterpart in a reasonable pressure range. 1H-tetrazole (CH2N4) with hydrogen bonds was studied under pressure by both diffraction and spectroscopy techniques. The observed crystal structure phase transition and hydrogen bond-assisted electronic structure anomaly were confirmed by first-principles calculation. The rearrangement of the hydrogen bonds under pressure elucidates the bonding interactions of the nitrogen-rich system in local 3D chemical environments, allowing the discovery and design of a feasible materials system to make new-generation high-energy materials.

Temperature-induced amorphization in CaCO3 at high pressure and implications for recycled CaCO3 in subduction zones.

Project description:Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) significantly affects the properties of upper mantle and plays a key role in deep carbon recycling. However, its phase relations above 3?GPa and 1000?K are controversial. Here we report a reversible temperature-induced aragonite-amorphization transition in CaCO3 at 3.9-7.5?GPa and temperature above 1000?K. Amorphous CaCO3 shares a similar structure as liquid CaCO3 but with much larger C-O and Ca-Ca bond lengths, indicating a lower density and a mechanism of lattice collapse for the temperature-induced amorphous phase. The less dense amorphous phase compared with the liquid provides an explanation for the observed CaCO3 melting curve overturn at about 6?GPa. Amorphous CaCO3 is stable at subduction zone conditions and could aid the recycling of carbon to the surface.

Amino-1H-tetrazole-regulated high-density nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanospheres for long-life Zn-air batteries.

Project description:High-density nitrogen-doped porous carbon catalysts have been regarded as promising alternatives to precious metals in proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) and metal-air batteries based on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). We herein synthesized high-density pyridinic and graphitic N-doped hollow carbon nanospheres (G&P N-HCS) using a high-yield amino-1H-tetrazole (ATTZ) via a self-sacrificial-template method. The synthesized G&P N-HCS shows a high N content (15.2 at%), in which pyridinic (Pr) and graphitic (Gr) N are highly reactive for the ORR catalysis. We found that the half-wave potential and limiting current density of G&P N-HCS are comparable to the state-of-the-art Pt/C, whereas its cyclic durability is much superior to that of Pt/C. Experimental results indicate that an optimal ratio (1 : 1) between Gr N and Pr N in G&P N-HCS exhibits the highest ORR performances, rather than Gr N-dominated N-HCS or Pr N-dominated N-HCS. Notably, N-HCS containing only Gr N and Pr N has poor catalytic performance for ORR in alkaline electrolytes. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations untangle the catalytic nature of Pr and Gr N and decipher the relations between the N type(s) and total N content required for the ORR catalysis. This study provides a new way to design efficient N-doped porous carbon-enriched active sites, and solves the cathode catalyst in the commercialization of PEMFC and metal-air batteries.

Nitrogen-Rich Energetic Metal-Organic Framework: Synthesis, Structure, Properties, and Thermal Behaviors of Pb(II) Complex Based on N,N-Bis(1H-tetrazole-5-yl)-Amine.

Project description:The focus of energetic materials is on searching for a high-energy, high-density, insensitive material. Previous investigations have shown that 3D energetic metal-organic frameworks (E-MOFs) have great potential and advantages in this field. A nitrogen-rich E-MOF, Pb(bta)·2H?O [N% = 31.98%, H?bta = N,N-Bis(1H-tetrazole-5-yl)-amine], was prepared through a one-step hydrothermal reaction in this study. Its crystal structure was determined through single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The complex has high heat denotation (16.142 kJ·cm-3), high density (3.250 g·cm-3), and good thermostability (Tdec = 614.9 K, 5 K·min-1). The detonation pressure and velocity obtained through theoretical calculations were 43.47 GPa and 8.963 km·s-1, respectively. The sensitivity test showed that the complex is an impact-insensitive material (IS > 40 J). The thermal decomposition process and kinetic parameters of the complex were also investigated through thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. Non-isothermal kinetic parameters were calculated through the methods of Kissinger and Ozawa-Doyle. Results highlighted the nitrogen-rich MOF as a potential energetic material.

Composite amine mixed matrix membranes for high-pressure CO2-CH4 separation: synthesis, characterization and performance evaluation.

Project description:The key challenge in the synthesis of composite mixed matrix membrane (MMMs) is the incompatible membrane fabrication using porous support in the dry-wet phase inversion technique. The key objective of this research is to synthesize thin composite ternary (amine) mixed matrix membranes on microporous support by incorporating 10 wt% of carbon molecular sieve (CMS) and 5-15 wt% of diethanolamine (DEA) in polyethersulfone (PES) dope solution for the separation of carbon dioxide (CO2) from methane (CH4) at high-pressure applications. The developed membranes were evaluated for their morphological structure, thermal and mechanical stabilities, functional groups, as well as for CO2-CH4 separation performance at high pressure (10-30 bar). The results showed that the developed membranes have asymmetric structure, and they are mechanically strong at 30 bar. This new class of PES/CMS/DEA composite MMMs exhibited improved gas permeance compared to pure PES composite polymeric membrane. CO2-CH4 perm-selectivity enhanced from 8.15 to 16.04 at 15 wt% of DEA at 30 bar pressure. The performance of amine composite MMMs is theoretically predicted using a modified Maxwell model. The predictions were in good agreement with experimental data after applying the optimized values with AARE % = ∼less than 2% and R 2 = 0.99.

Pressure-induced phase transition of 1,5-diamino-1H-tetrazole (DAT) under high pressure.

Project description:Nitrogen-rich energetic materials have attracted certain interest as promising high energy density materials (HEDMs) in recent years. Pure N2 and nitrogen-based molecular crystals are ideal HEDMs that would polymerize under high pressure, as reported in previous literature. We selected a 1,5-diamino-1H-tetrazole (DAT) crystal, which has two kinds of molecular structures and hydrogen bonds, to study under high pressure by spectroscopy and diffraction due to its high nitrogen percentage and low sensitivities. Pressure-induced structure transitions occur at pressures of 2.3-6.6 GPa, ∼8.5 GPa, and ∼17.7 GPa. The phase transition at 2.3-6.6 GPa is related to the rotation of NH2, and the latter two transitions are caused by both the rotation of NH2 and the distortion of the heterocycle. Significantly, the reconstitution of the hydrogen bond may induce the rotation/distortion of the NH2/heterocycle in the second phase transition. There is no evidence showing a transformation between the two molecular structures in the whole pressure range studied. Our investigation uncovers the phase transition mechanism of DAT under pressure, which will help to find targeted HEDMs.

Development and Verification of the New Simplified Mechanism for CH4/O2/CO2 Laminar Premixed Flame under High Pressure.

Project description:To study the laminar premixed flame characteristics of methane under an O2/CO2 atmosphere in high pressure, a new simplified chemical mechanism (44 steps and 19 species) was extracted from the GRI-Mech 3.0 mechanism. The sensitivity coefficient analysis method is used to retain the elementary reactions that have great influence on the target parameters and remove other secondary elementary reactions. Meanwhile, the closeness of the simplified mechanism initially obtained was verified. The results of the laminar burning velocities, the distribution of the main species, and the ignition delay time were compared between the two mechanisms for the premixed flame and the ignition process. Overall, the simplified mechanisms performed fairly well over a wide range of pressure, equivalence ratio, and fuel mixture composition.

High-Pressure and High-Temperature Chemistry of Phosphorus and Nitrogen: Synthesis and Characterization of α- and γ-P3N5.

Project description:The direct chemical reactivity between phosphorus and nitrogen was induced under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions (9.1 GPa and 2000-2500 K), generated by a laser-heated diamond anvil cell and studied by synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and DFT calculations. α-P3N5 and γ-P3N5 were identified as reaction products. The structural parameters and vibrational frequencies of γ-P3N5 were characterized as a function of pressure during room-temperature compression and decompression to ambient conditions, determining the equation of state of the material up to 32.6 GPa and providing insight about the lattice dynamics of the unit cell during compression, which essentially proceeds through the rotation of the PN5 square pyramids and the distortion of the PN4 tetrahedra. Although the identification of α-P3N5 demonstrates for the first time the direct synthesis of this compound from the elements, its detection in the outer regions of the laser-heated area suggests α-P3N5 as an intermediate step in the progressive nitridation of phosphorus toward the formation of γ-P3N5 with increasing coordination number of P by N from 4 to 5. No evidence of a higher-pressure phase transition was observed, excluding the existence of predicted structures containing octahedrally hexacoordinated P atoms in the investigated pressure range.

Density functional theory study of Mobius boron-carbon-nitride as potential CH4, H2S, NH3, COCl2 and CH3OH gas sensor.

Project description:The interesting properties of Mobius structure and boron-carbon-nitride (BCN) inspired this research to study different characteristics of Mobius BCN (MBCN) nanoribbon. The structural stability and vibrational, electrical and optical properties are analysed using the density functional theory. The gas-sensing ability of the modelled MBCN structure was also studied for methane, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, phosgene and methanol gases. The negative adsorption energy and alteration of electronic bandgap verified that MBCN is very sensitive toward the selected gases. The complex structures showed a high absorption coefficient with strong chemical potential and 7 ps-0.3 ms recovery time. The negative change in entropy signifies that all the complex structures were thermodynamically stable. Among the selected gases, the MBCN showed the strongest interaction with methanol gas.
