EDTA-Reduction of Water to Molecular Hydrogen Catalyzed by Visible-Light-Response TiO2-Based Materials Sensitized by Dawson- and Keggin-Type Rhenium(V)-Containing Polyoxotungstates

ABSTRACT: The synthesis and characterization of a Keggin-type mono-rhenium(V)- substituted polyoxotungstate are described. The dimethylammonium salt [Me2NH2]4[PW11ReVO40] was obtained as analytically pure homogeneous black-purple crystals by reacting mono-lacunary Keggin polyoxotungstate with [ReIVCl6]2- in water, followed by crystallization from acetone at ca. 5 °C. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis of [PW11ReVO40]4- revealed a monomeric structure with overall Td symmetry. Characterization of [Me2NH2]4[PW11ReVO40] was also accomplished by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, TG/DTA, FTIR, UV-vis, diffuse reflectance (DR) UV-vis, and solution 31P-NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, [PW11ReVO40]4- and the Dawson-type dirhenium(V)-oxido-bridged polyoxotungstate [O{ReV(OH)(?2-P2W17O61)}2]14- were supported onto anatase TiO2 surface by the precipitation methods using CsCl and Pt(NH3)4Cl2. With these materials, hydrogen evolution from water in the presence of EDTA·2Na (ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid disodium salt) under visible light irradiation (?400 nm) was achieved.

Keggin-type polyoxotungstates as mushroom tyrosinase inhibitors - A speciation study.

Project description:Mushroom tyrosinase abPPO4 is a commercially relevant polyphenol oxidase and has been being targeted for numerous inhibition studies including polyoxometalates (POMs). In the present work, its diphenolase activity was inhibited at pH 6.8 by a series of structurally related polyoxotungstates (POTs) of the α-Keggin archetype, exhibiting the general formula [Xn+W12O40](8-n)- in order to elucidate charge-dependent activity correlations. Kinetic data were obtained from the dopachrome assay and 183W NMR was applied to obtain crucial insights into the actual Keggin POT speciation in solution, facilitating a straightforward assignment of inhibition effects to the identified POT species. While [PW12O40]3- was completely hydrolyzed to its moderately active lacunary form Hx[PW11O39](7-x)- (Ki = 25.6 mM), [SiW12O40]4- showed the most pronounced inhibition effects with a Ki of 4.7 mM despite of partial hydrolysis to its ineffective lacunary form Hx[SiW11O39](8-x)-. More negative Keggin cluster charges of 5- and 6- generally resulted in preclusion of inhibitory efficacy as well as hydrolysis, but with the Ni-substituted cluster [PW11O39{Ni(H2O)}]5- enzymatic inhibition was clearly restored (Ki = 9.7 mM). The inhibitory capacity of the structurally intact Keggin POTs was found to be inversely correlated to their net charge. The here applied speciation strategy is of utmost importance for any biological POM application to identify the actually active POM species.

31P magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy of paramagnetic rare-earth-substituted Keggin and Wells-Dawson solids.

Project description:Paramagnetic rare-earth elements have been examined as NMR structural probes in polyoxoanionic solids, which have a variety of applications as luminescent materials that are usually disordered and therefore intractable by traditional structural methods. Thirteen Keggin and Wells-Dawson polyoxotungstates containing substitutions with lanthanides of different effective magnetic moments have been examined by 31P magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy. The electron-nuclear dipolar interaction dominating the spinning sideband envelopes is determined by the lanthanide's magnetic moment and was found to be a sensitive probe of the nature of the polyoxoanion, of the positional isomerism, and of the ion stoichiometry. Electron-nuclear dipolar anisotropies computed based on the point-dipole approximation are generally in good agreement with the experimental results. The choice of a specific lanthanide as a structural probe can be tailored to the desired distance range between the phosphorus atoms and the paramagnetic centers to be probed. This approach is expected to be particularly useful in the paramagnetic polyoxoanionic materials lacking long-range order.

Synthesis, X-ray Crystal Structure, and Photochromism of a Sandwich-Type Mono-Aluminum Complex Composed of Two Tri-Lacunary ?-Dawson-Type Polyoxotungstates.

Project description:The synthesis and molecular structure of a dimeric, mono-aluminum complex composed of two tri-lacunary ?-Dawson polyoxometalates, [H14Al(B-?-P2W15O56)2]7- (1), is described herein. The tetra-n-butylammonium salt of 1, [(n-C4H9)4N]7[H14Al(B-?-P2W15O56)2] (TBA-1) was prepared by passing an aqueous solution of K6[B-?-H3P2W15O59{Al(OH2)}3]?14H2O through an ion-exchange resin column (H+-form), followed by addition of tetra-n-butylammonium bromide. Analytically pure and colorless crystals of TBA-1 were obtained via vapor diffusion from acetonitrile/methanol at ~25 °C. Single-crystal X-ray structure analysis revealed that a six-coordinate aluminum ion was sandwiched between two tri-lacunary ?-Dawson-type units, resulting in an overall C2h symmetry. The characterization of TBA-1 was accomplished by elemental analyses, thermogravimetric/differential thermal analyses, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and solution 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The photochromic properties of TBA-1 were also characterized in methanol under light irradiation (? = 365 nm and ?400 nm).

Visible-Light-Mediated [4+2] Annulation of N-Cyclobutylanilines with Alkynes Catalyzed by Self-Doped Ti3+ @TiO2.

Project description:We herein report a visible-light-mediated heterogeneous [4+2] annulation of N-cyclobutylanilines with alkynes catalyzed by self-doped Ti3+ @TiO2 . The self-doped Ti3+ @TiO2 is stable under photooxidation conditions, easy to recycle, and can be used multiple times without appreciable loss of activity. Extensive mechanistic studies suggest that the annulation reaction is mediated by singlet oxygen, which is generated through the photosensitization of oxygen in the air by the self-doped Ti3+ @TiO2 . In contrast, the homogeneous variant catalyzed by a far more expensive iridium complex proceeds under an inert atmosphere, which indicates a different mechanism. The substrate scopes of the two processes are comparable.

A dye-sensitized visible light photocatalyst-Bi24O31Cl10.

Project description:The p-block semiconductors are regarded as a new family of visible-light photocatalysts because of their dispersive and anisotropic band structures as well as high chemical stability. The bismuth oxide halides belong to this family and have band structures and dispersion relations that can be engineered by modulating the stoichiometry of the halogen elements. Herein, we have developed a new visible-light photocatalyst Bi24O31Cl10 by band engineering, which shows high dye-sensitized photocatalytic activity. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the p-block elements determine the nature of the dispersive electronic structures and narrow band gap in Bi24O31Cl10. Bi24O31Cl10 exhibits excellent visible-light photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of Rhodamine B, which is promoted by dye sensitization due to compatible energy levels and high electronic mobility. In addition, Bi24O31Cl10 is also a suitable photoanode material for dye-sensitized solar cells and shows power conversion efficiency of 1.5%.

SiH/TiO2 and GeH/TiO2 heterojunctions: promising TiO2-based photocatalysts under visible light.

Project description:We use hybrid density functional calculations to find that the monolayer silicane (SiH) and the anatase TiO2(101) composite (i.e. the SiH/TiO2 heterojunction) is a promising TiO2-based photocatalyst under visible light. The band gap of the SiH/TiO2(101) heterojunction is 2.082 eV, which is an ideal material for the visible-light photoexcitation of electron-hole pairs. Furthermore, the SiH/TiO2(101) heterojunction has a favorable type-II band alignment and thus the photoexcited electron can be injected to the conduction band of anatase TiO2 from that of silicane. Finally, the proper interface charge distribution facilitates the carrier separation in the SiH/TiO2(101) interface region. The electron injection and carrier separation can prevent the recombination of electron-hole pairs. Our calculation results suggest that such electronic structure of SiH/TiO2(101) heterojunction has significant advantages over these of doped TiO2 systems for visible-light photocatalysis.

Impact of TiO2 Nanostructures on Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Performance.

Project description:The effect of TiO2 nanostructures such as nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes on photoanode properties, and dye-sensitized solar cells photovoltaic parameters were studied. The series of dye-sensitized solar cells based on two dyes, that is, commercially N719 and synthesized 3,7'-bis(2-cyano-1-acrylic acid)-10-ethyl-phenothiazine were tested. Additionally, the devices containing a mixture of this sensitizer and chenodeoxycholic acid as co-adsorbent were fabricated. The amount of adsorbed dye molecules to TiO2 was evaluated. The prepared photoanodes with different TiO2 nanostructures were investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopy, optical, atomic force, and scanning electron microscopes. Photovoltaic response of constructed devices was examined based on current-voltage characteristics and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. It was found that the highest UV-Vis absorption exhibited the photoanode with nanotubes addition. This indicates the highest number of sensitizer molecules anchored to the titanium dioxide photoanode, which was subsequently confirmed by dye-loading tests. The highest power conversion efficiency was (6.97%) for solar cell containing nanotubes and a mixture of the dyes with a co-adsorbent.

Multiwavelength-Steerable Visible-Light-Driven Magnetic CoO-TiO2 Microswimmers.

Project description:While current light-driven microswimmers require high-intensity light, UV light, or toxic fuels to propel them, powering them with low-intensity UV-free visible light without fuels is essential to enable their potential high-impact applications. Therefore, in this study, a new material for light-driven microswimmers in the form of CoO is introduced. Janus CoO-TiO2 microswimmers powered with low-intensity, UV-free visible light inside water without using any toxic fuels like H2O2 is proposed. The microswimmers show propulsion under full spectrum of visible light with 17 times lower intensity than the mean solar intensity. They propel by breaking down water into oxygen and oxide radicals, which enables their potential applications for photocatalysis and drug delivery. The microswimmers are multiwavelength responsive, from the ultraviolet to the infrared region. The direction of swimming changes with the change in the illumination from the visible to UV light. In addition to being responsive, they are wavelength steerable and exhibit inherent magnetic properties enabling magnetic steering control of the CoO-TiO2 microswimmers. Thus, these microswimmers, which are propelled under low-intensity visible light, have direction-changing capability using light of different wavelengths, and have steering control capability by external magnetic fields, could be used in future potential applications, such as active and local cargo delivery, active photocatalysis, and hydrogen evolution.

Influence of Tin Doped TiO2 Nanorods on Dye Sensitized Solar Cells.

Project description:The one-step hydrothermal method was used to synthesize Sn-doped TiO2 (Sn-TiO2) thin films, in which the variation in Sn content ranged from 0 to 7-wt % and, further, its influence on the performance of a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) photoanode was studied. The deposited samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy, which confirmed the existence of the rutile phase of the synthesized samples with crystallite size ranges in between 20.1 to 22.3 nm. In addition, the bare and Sn-TiO2 thin films showed nanorod morphology. A reduction in the optical band gap from 2.78 to 2.62 eV was observed with increasing Sn content. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirmed Sn4+ was successfully replaced at the Ti4+ site. The 3-wt % Sn-TiO2 based DSSC showed the optimum efficiency of 4.01%, which was superior to 0.87% of bare and other doping concentrations of Sn-TiO2 based DSSCs. The present work reflects Sn-TiO2 as an advancing material with excellent capabilities, which can be used in photovoltaic energy conversion devices.
