Transition metal trifluoroacetates (M?=?Fe, Co, Mn) as precursors for uniform colloidal metal difluoride and phosphide nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: We report a simple one-pot synthesis of uniform transition metal difluoride MF₂ (M?=?Fe, Mn, Co) nanorods based on transition metal trifluoroacetates (TMTFAs) as single-source precursors. The synthesis of metal fluorides is based on the thermolysis of TMTFAs at 250-320?°C in trioctylphosphine/trioctylphosphine oxide solvent mixtures. The FeF₂ nanorods were converted into FeF₃ nanorods by reaction with gaseous fluorine. The TMTFA precursors are also found to be suitable for the synthesis of colloidal transition metal phosphides. Specifically, we report that the thermolysis of a cobalt trifluoroacetate complex in trioctylphosphine as both the solvent and the phosphorus source can yield 20 nm long cobalt phosphide nanorods or, 3 nm large cobalt phosphide nanoparticles. We also assess electrochemical lithiation/de-lithiation of the obtained FeF₂ and FeF₃ nanomaterials.

Project description:Two different classes of hairy self-suspended nanoparticles in the melt state, polymer-grafted nanoparticles (GNPs) and star polymers, are shown to display universal dynamic behavior across a broad range of parameter space. Linear viscoelastic measurements on well-characterized silica-poly(methyl acrylate) GNPs with a fixed core radius (Rcore) and grafting density (or number of arms f) but varying arm degree of polymerization (Narm) show two distinctly different regimes of response. The colloidal Regime I with a small Narm (large core volume fraction) is characterized by predominant low-frequency solidlike colloidal plateau and ultraslow relaxation, while the polymeric Regime II with a large Narm (small core volume fractions) has a response dominated by the starlike relaxation of partially interpenetrated arms. The transition between the two regimes is marked by a crossover where both polymeric and colloidal modes are discerned albeit without a distinct colloidal plateau. Similarly, polybutadiene multiarm stars also exhibit the colloidal response of Regime I at very large f and small Narm. The star arm retraction model and a simple scaling model of nanoparticle escape from the cage of neighbors by overcoming a hopping potential barrier due to their elastic deformation quantitatively describe the linear response of the polymeric and colloidal regimes, respectively, in all these cases. The dynamic behavior of hairy nanoparticles of different chemistry and molecular characteristics, investigated here and reported in the literature, can be mapped onto a universal dynamic diagram of f/[Rcore3/ν0)1/4] as a function of (Narmν0f)/(Rcore3), where ν0 is the monomeric volume. In this diagram, the two regimes are separated by a line where the hopping potential ΔUhop is equal to the thermal energy, kBT. ΔUhop can be expressed as a function of the overcrowding parameter x (i.e., the ratio of f to the maximum number of unperturbed chains with Narm that can fill the volume occupied by the polymeric corona); hence, this crossing is shown to occur when x = 1. For x > 1, we have colloidal Regime I with an overcrowded volume, stretched arms, and ΔUhop > kBT, while polymeric Regime II is linked to x < 1. This single-material parameter x can provide the needed design principle to tailor the dynamics of this class of soft materials across a wide range of applications from membranes for gas separation to energy storage.
