Two Mercury Antimony Chalcogenides Cs₂HgSb₄S₈ and Cs₂Hg₂Sb₂Se₆ with Cesium Cations as Counterions.

ABSTRACT: Two novel layer structure compounds, Cs₂HgSb₄S₈ and Cs₂Hg₂Sb₂Se₆, were synthesized in organic solvent under solvothermal conditions. The Cs₂HgSb₄S₈ is formed of [HgSb₄S₈]^2- ribbons and S atoms by corner sharing. The Cs₂Hg₂Sb₂Se₆ is made up of [SbHg₂Se₆]^5- ribbon and disorder trigonal-pyramidal SbSe₃ by sharing ?₃-Se. These compounds are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, solid-state optical absorption spectra, and so on.

Band-Like Charge Transport in Cs2AgBiBr6 and Mixed Antimony-Bismuth Cs2AgBi1-x Sb x Br6 Halide Double Perovskites.

Project description:Recently, halide double perovskites (HDPs), such as Cs2AgBiBr6, have been reported as promising nontoxic alternatives to lead halide perovskites. However, it remains unclear whether the charge-transport properties of these materials are as favorable as for lead-based perovskites. In this work, we study the mobilities of charges in Cs2AgBiBr6 and in mixed antimony-bismuth Cs2AgBi1-x Sb x Br6, in which the band gap is tunable from 2.0 to 1.6 eV. Using temperature-dependent time-resolved microwave conductivity techniques, we find that the mobility is proportional to T -p (with p ≈ 1.5). Importantly, this indicates that phonon scattering is the dominant scattering mechanism determining the charge carrier mobility in these HDPs similar to the state-of-the-art lead-based perovskites. Finally, we show that wet chemical processing of Cs2AgBi1-x Sb x Br6 powders is a successful route to prepare thin films of these materials, which paves the way toward photovoltaic devices based on nontoxic HDPs with tunable band gaps.

Discovery of new boron-rich chalcogenides: orthorhombic B6X (X=S, Se).

Project description:New boron-rich sulfide B6S and selenide B6Se have been discovered by combination of high pressure - high temperature synthesis and ab initio evolutionary crystal structure prediction, and studied by synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy at ambient conditions. As it follows from Rietveld refinement of powder X-ray diffraction data, both chalcogenides have orthorhombic symmetry and belong to Pmna space group. All experimentally observed Raman bands have been attributed to the theoretically calculated phonon modes, and the mode assignment has been performed. Prediction of mechanical properties (hardness and elastic moduli) of new boron-rich chalcogenides has been made using ab initio calculations, and both compounds were found to be members of a family of hard phases.

Chemically driven superstructural ordering leading to giant unit cells in unconventional clathrates Cs8Zn18Sb28 and Cs8Cd18Sb28.

Project description:The unconventional clathrates, Cs8Zn18Sb28 and Cs8Cd18Sb28, were synthesized and reinvestigated. These clathrates exhibit unique and extensive superstructural ordering of the clathrate-I structure that was not initially reported. Cs8Cd18Sb28 orders in the Ia3̄d space group (no. 230) with 8 times larger volume of the unit cell in which most framework atoms segregate into distinct Cd and Sb sites. The structure of Cs8Zn18Sb28 is much more complicated, with an 18-fold increase of unit cell volume accompanied by significant reduction of symmetry down to P2 (no. 3) monoclinic space group. This structure was revealed by a combination of synchrotron X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy techniques. A full solid solution, Cs8Zn18-x Cd x Sb28, was also synthesized and characterized. These compounds follow Vegard's law in regard to their primitive unit cell sizes and melting points. Variable temperature in situ synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction was used to study the formation and melting of Cs8Zn18Sb28. Due to the heavy elements comprising clathrate framework and the complex structural ordering, the synthesized clathrates exhibit ultralow thermal conductivities, all under 0.8 W m-1 K-1 at room temperature. Cs8Zn9Cd9Sb28 and Cs8Zn4.5Cd13.5Sb28 both have total thermal conductivities of 0.49 W m-1 K-1 at room temperature, among the lowest reported for any clathrate. Cs8Zn18Sb28 has typical p-type semiconducting charge transport properties, while the remaining clathrates show unusual n-p transitions or sharp increases of thermopower at low temperatures. Estimations of the bandgaps as activation energy for resistivity dependences show an anomalous widening and then shrinking of the bandgap with increasing Cd-content.

Activation of CS2 and CO2 by Silylium Cations.

Project description:The hydride-bridged silylium cation [Et3 Si-H-SiEt3 ]+ , stabilized by the weakly coordinating [Me3 NB12 Cl11 ]- anion, undergoes, in the presence of excess silane, a series of unexpected consecutive reactions with the valence-isoelectronic molecules CS2 and CO2 . The final products of the reaction with CS2 are methane and the previously unknown [(Et3 Si)3 S]+ cation. To gain insight into the entire reaction cascade, numerous experiments with varying conditions were performed, intermediate products were intercepted, and their structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. Besides the [(Et3 Si)3 S]+ cation as the final product, crystal structures of [(Et3 Si)2 SMe]+ , [Et3 SiS(H)Me]+ , and [Et3 SiOC(H)OSiEt3 ]+ were obtained. Experimental results combined with supporting quantum-chemical calculations in the gas phase and solution allow a detailed understanding of the reaction cascade.

Sb?Se? under pressure.

Project description:Selected members of the A?B? (A = Sb, Bi; B = Se, Te) family are topological insulators. The Sb?Se? compound does not exhibit any topological properties at ambient conditions; a recent high-pressure study, however, indicated that pressure transforms Sb?Se? from a band insulator into a topological insulator above ~2 GPa; in addition, three structural transitions were proposed to occur up to 25 GPa. Partly motivated by these results, we have performed x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy investigations on Sb?Se? under pressure up to 65 GPa. We have identified only one reversible structural transition: the initial Pnma structure transforms into a disordered cubic bcc alloy above 51 GPa. On the other hand, our high-pressure Raman study did not reproduce the previous results; we attribute the discrepancies to the effects of the different pressure transmitting media used in the high-pressure experiments. We discuss the structural behavior of Sb?Se? within the A?B? (A = Sb, Bi; B = Se, Te) series.

Sb2Se3 assembling Sb2O3@ attapulgite as an emerging composites for catalytic hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol.

Project description:The construction and application of a new type of composite material are achieved more and more attention. However, expected Sb2Se3/attapulgite composites aim to use the low price, and high adsorption of attapulgite in assembling Sb2Se3 is quite difficult to be acquired by a facile and benign environmental hydrothermal method. In this manuscript, we developed a new way for preparation of an emerging composite by means of Sb2O3 as a media linking Sb2Se3 and attapulgite together, and finally won an emerging composite Sb2Se3/Sb2O3@attapulgite, which presented an excellent catalytic properties for catalytic hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol. It was noted that the Sb2Se3/Sb2O3@attapulgite composites exhibited a high conversion rate for the hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol that was up to 90.7% within 15 min, which was far more than the 61.5% of Sb2Se3 sample. The excellent catalytic performance was attributed to the highly dispersion Sb2Se3 microbelts and Sb2Se3@Sb2O3@attapulgite rods, which would improve the adsorption of the reactant species and facility electronic transfer process of the catalytic hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol.

Thermal and Thermoelectric Transport in Highly Resistive Single Sb2Se3 Nanowires and Nanowire Bundles.

Project description:In this study, we measured the thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of single Sb2Se3 nanowires and nanowire bundles with a high resistivity (? ~ 4.37?×?10-4 S/m). Microdevices consisting of two adjacent suspended silicon nitride membranes were fabricated to measure the thermal transport properties of the nanowires in vacuum. Single Sb2Se3 nanowires with different diameters and nanowire bundles were carefully placed on the device to bridge the two membranes. The relationship of temperature difference on each heating/sensing suspension membranes with joule heating was accurately determined. A single Sb2Se3 nanowire with a diameter of ~ 680?nm was found to have a thermal conductivity (kNW) of 0.037?±?0.002?W/m·K. The thermal conductivity of the nanowires is more than an order of magnitude lower than that of bulk materials (k ~ 0.36-1.9?W/m·K) and highly conductive (? ~ 3?×?104 S/m) Sb2Se3 single nanowires (k ~ 1?W/m·K). The measured Seebeck coefficient with a positive value of ~ 661??V/K is comparable to that of highly conductive Sb2Se3 single nanowires (~ 750??V/K). The thermal transport between wires with different diameters and nanowire bundles was compared and discussed.

Robustness of a Topologically Protected Surface State in a Sb2Te2Se Single Crystal.

Project description:A topological insulator (TI) is a quantum material in a new class with attractive properties for physical and technological applications. Here we derive the electronic structure of highly crystalline Sb2Te2Se single crystals studied with angle-resolved photoemission spectra. The result of band mapping reveals that the Sb2Te2Se compound behaves as a p-type semiconductor and has an isolated Dirac cone of a topological surface state, which is highly favored for spintronic and thermoelectric devices because of the dissipation-less surface state and the decreased scattering from bulk bands. More importantly, the topological surface state and doping level in Sb2Te2Se are difficult to alter for a cleaved surface exposed to air; the robustness of the topological surface state defined in our data indicates that this Sb2Te2Se compound has a great potential for future atmospheric applications.

Cs(2)UPd(3)Se(6).

Project description:Dicaesium uranium(IV) tripalladium(II) hexa-selenide, Cs(2)UPd(3)Se(6), crystallizes in the space group Fmmm in the Ba(2)NaCu(3)O(6) structure type. The asymmetric unit comprises the following atoms with site symmetries as shown: U1 (mm2), Cs1 (222), Cs2 (m2m), Pd1 (.m.), Pd2 (2mm), Se1 (m..), and Se2 (1). This layered structure contains six edge-sharing square-planar [PdSe(4)] units that form a hexa-gon. These, in turn, edge-share with [USe(6)] trigonal-prismatic units, forming an extended layer parallel to (010). The layers are stacked along [010]. They are staggered, and are separated by the Cs atoms. The Cs atoms are either coordinated in a square anti-prism of Se atoms or are ten-coordinate, with one square face and the opposite face hexa-gonal.
