In Situ X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopic and Electrochemical Studies of the Bromide Anions Dissolved in 1-Ethyl-3-Methyl Imidazolium Tetrafluoroborate.

ABSTRACT: Influence of electrode potential on the electrochemical behavior of a 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMImBF₄) solution containing 5 wt % 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (EMImBr) has been investigated using electrochemical and synchrotron-initiated high-resolution in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods. Observation of the Br 3d5/2 in situ XPS signal, collected in a 5 wt % EMImBr solution at an EMImBF₄⁻vacuum interface, enabled the detection of the start of the electrooxidation process of the Br⁻ anion to Br₃⁻ anion and thereafter to the Br₂ at the micro-mesoporous carbon electrode, polarized continuously at the high fixed positive potentials. A new photoelectron peak, corresponding to B⁻O bond formation in the B 1s in situ XPS spectra at E ≤ ⁻1.17 V, parallel to the start of the electroreduction of the residual water at the micro-mesoporous carbon electrode, was observed and is discussed. The electroreduction of the residual water caused a reduction in the absolute value of binding energy vs. potential plot slope twice to ca. dBE dE-1 = ⁻0.5 eV V-1 at E ≤ ⁻1.17 V for C 1s, N 1s, B 1s, F 1s, and Br 3d5/2 photoelectrons.

Photoelectron spectroscopic and computational studies of the Pt@Pb???¹ and Pt@Pb??¹?/²? anions.

Project description:A combination of anion photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations has elucidated the geometric and electronic structure of gas-phase endohedral Pt/Pb cage cluster anions. The anions, Pt@Pb???¹ and Pt@Pb??¹? were prepared from "preassembled" clusters generated from crystalline samples of [K(2,2,2-crypt)]?[Pt@Pb??] that were brought into the gas phase using a unique infrared desorption/photoemission anion source. The use of crystalline [K(2,2,2-crypt)]?[Pt@Pb??] also provided access to K[Pt@Pb(n)](-) anions in the gas phase (i.e., the K? salts of the Pt@Pb(n)²? anions). Anion photoelectron spectra of Pt@Pb???¹, Pt@Pb??¹?, and K[Pt@Pb??]¹? are presented. Extensive density functional theory calculations on Pt@Pb??³?/²?/¹?/? and Pt@Pb??²?/¹? provided candidate structures and anion photoelectron spectra for Pt@Pb???¹ and Pt@Pb??¹?. Together, the calculated and measured photoelectron spectra show that Pt@Pb???¹ and Pt@Pb??²?/¹? endohedral complexes maintain their respective D(4d) and slightly distorted I(h) symmetries in the gas phase even for the charge states with open shell character. Aside from the fullerenes, the Pt@Pb??²? endohedral complex is the only bare cluster that has been structurally characterized in the solid state, solution, and the gas phase.

Dissolution of Metals in Different Bromide-Based Systems: Electrochemical Measurements and Spectroscopic Investigations.

Project description:The dissolution of the main metals (Cu, Zn, Sn, Pb and Fe) found in waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) was investigated by electrochemical corrosion measurements (potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)) in different bromide-based systems that could be used as lixiviants in hydrometallurgical route of metals recovery. The analysis of the corrosion products was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. All measurements showed that the addition of bromine in the electrolyte favors to great extents the dissolution process of all studied metals as compared to bromine-free electrolytes. In the investigated experimental conditions, the highest dissolution rates of the metals were obtained in acidic KBr solution containing 0.01 mol/L bromine and they decreased in the following order: Zn >> Sn > Pb > Fe > Cu. The XRD and XPS chemical assessment allowed the identification of the dissolution products formed on the metallic surfaces after exposure to the electrolytes. They consisted mainly of oxides in the case of Cu, Zn, Sn and Fe, while the presence of PbBr2 was also noticed on the lead surface. Based on the results of EIS and surface investigations, several models explaining the corrosion behavior of the metals were proposed and discussed. The obtained results demonstrate that all studied metals could be successfully leached using brominated solutions, providing a viable alternative for the selective and efficient recovery of the base metals from WPCBs through a multi-step hydrometallurgical processing route.

Valence anions of N-acetylproline in the gas phase: computational and anion photoelectron spectroscopic studies.

Project description:We report the photoelectron spectrum of anionic N-acetylproline, (N-AcPro)(-), measured with 3.49 eV photons. This spectrum, which consists of a band centered at an electron binding energy of 1.4 eV and a higher energy spectral tail, confirms that N-acetylproline forms a valence anion in the gas phase. The neutrals and anions of N-AcPro were also studied computationally at the B3LYP∕6-31++G(d,p) level. Based on the calculations, we conclude that the photoelectron spectrum is due to anions which originated from proton transfer induced by electron attachment to the π* orbital localized at the acetyl group of N-AcPro. We also characterized the energetics of reaction paths leading to pyrrolidine ring opening in the anionic N-AcPro. These data suggest that electron induced decomposition of peptides/proteins comprising proline strongly depends on the presence of proton donors in the close vicinity to the proline residue.

In-situ study of electrochemical migration of tin in the presence of bromide ion.

Project description:The miniaturization of electronic devices and the consequent decrease in the distance between conductive lines have increased the risk of short circuit failure due to electrochemical migration (ECM). The presence of ionic contaminants affects the ECM process. This work systematically investigates the ECM of tin (Sn) in the presence of bromide ions (Br-) in the range of 10-6 M to 1.0 M. Water drop test (WDT) was conducted in the two-probe semiconductor characterization system under an optical microscope as an in-situ observation. Polarization test was carried out to study the correlation between the corrosion properties of Sn and its ECM behaviour. The products of ECM were characterized by scanning electron microscope coupled with an energy dispersive X-rays spectrometer (SEM/EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). The results confirm that the rate of anodic dissolution of Sn monotonously increases with the Br- concentration. However, the probability of ECM failure follows a normal distribution initially, but later increases with the Br- concentration. The main products of the ECM reactions are identified as Sn dendrites and tin hydroxide precipitates. The mechanisms of the ECM process of Sn in the presence of Br- are also suggested.

Electrokinetic and in situ spectroscopic investigations of CO electrochemical reduction on copper.

Project description:Rigorous electrokinetic results are key to understanding the reaction mechanisms in the electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR), however, most reported results are compromised by the CO mass transport limitation. In this work, we determined mass transport-free CORR kinetics by employing a gas-diffusion type electrode and identified dependence of catalyst surface speciation on the electrolyte pH using in-situ surface enhanced vibrational spectroscopies. Based on the measured Tafel slopes and reaction orders, we demonstrate that the formation rates of C2+ products are most likely limited by the dimerization of CO adsorbate. CH4 production is limited by the CO hydrogenation step via a proton coupled electron transfer and a chemical hydrogenation step of CO by adsorbed hydrogen atom in weakly (7 < pH < 11) and strongly (pH > 11) alkaline electrolytes, respectively. Further, CH4 and C2+ products are likely formed on distinct types of active sites.

Photoelectron Circular Dichroism in the Photodetachment of Amino Acid Anions.

Project description:The chirality of chemical compounds is of undisputed importance in science and technology. In particular with respect to pharmacological application most molecules of interest cannot be accessed by the powerful techniques developed in recent years for gas phase analytes. Here, we demonstrate that the combination of electrospray ionization (ESI) with the detection of photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) provides access to chirality information applicable to molecular materials with negligible vapor pressure, for example, amino acids. To this end, glutamic acid and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) have been electrosprayed into the source of a chirality spectrometer, where photodetachment is enforced and the PECD is detected. The technique can be expected to be conceptually applicable to all chemical systems with chirality based on molecular properties.

In-situ photoelectron microspectroscopy and imaging of electrochemical processes at the electrodes of a self-driven cell.

Project description:The challenges in development of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are reducing their dimensions and increasing their efficiency and durability, which requires physicochemical characterization at micro-scales of the device components during operation conditions. Recently, the unique potential of scanning photoelectron microscopy (SPEM) has been demonstrated by in-situ studies of externally-driven SOFCs, which mimic real devices. Here we overcome the gap between model and real systems using a single-chamber Ni|YSZ|Mn SOFC, supporting a range of self-driven electrochemical reactions in variable gas environments and temperatures. The reported SPEM results, obtained during spontaneous electrochemical processes occurring in reactive gas ambient, demonstrate the chemical evolution of electrodic material, in particular the lateral distribution of the oxidation state and the induced local potential, clearly marking out the electrochemically most active micro-regions of the Ni anode.
