High-Pressure Synthesis of A2 NiO2 Ag2 Se2 (A=Sr, Ba) with a High-Spin Ni2+ in Square-Planar Coordination.

ABSTRACT: Square-planar coordinate Ni2+ ions in oxides are exclusively limited to a low-spin state (S=0) owing to extensive crystal field splitting. Layered oxychalcogenides A2 NiII O2 Ag2 Se2 (A=Sr, Ba) with the S=1 NiO2 square lattice are now reported. The structural analysis revealed that the Ni2+ ion is under-bonded by a significant tensile strain from neighboring Ag2 Se2 layers, leading to the reduction in crystal field splitting. Ba2 NiO2 Ag2 Se2 exhibits a G-type spin order at 130?K, indicating fairly strong in-plane interactions. The high-pressure synthesis employed here possibly assists the expansion of NiO2 square lattice by taking the advantage of the difference in compressibility in oxide and selenide layers.

High- versus Low-Spin Ni2+ in Elongated Octahedral Environments: Sr2NiO2Cu2Se2, Sr2NiO2Cu2S2, and Sr2NiO2Cu2(Se1-x S x )2.

Project description:Sr2NiO2Cu2Se2, comprising alternating [Sr2NiO2]2+ and [Cu2Se2]2- layers, is reported. Powder neutron diffraction shows that the Ni2+ ions, which are in a highly elongated NiO4Se2 environment with D4h symmetry, adopt a high-spin configuration and carry localized magnetic moments which order antiferromagnetically below ∼160 K in a √2a × √2a × 2c expansion of the nuclear cell with an ordered moment of 1.31(2) μB per Ni2+ ion. The adoption of the high-spin configuration for this d 8 cation in a pseudo-square-planar ligand field is supported by consideration of the experimental bond lengths and the results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This is in contrast to the sulfide analogue Sr2NiO2Cu2S2, which, according to both experiment and DFT calculations, has a much more elongated ligand field, more consistent with the low-spin configuration commonly found for square-planar Ni2+, and accordingly, there is no evidence for magnetic moment on the Ni2+ ions. Examination of the solid solution Sr2NiO2Cu2(Se1-x S x )2 shows direct evidence from the evolution of the crystal structure and the magnetic ordering for the transition from high-spin selenide-rich compounds to low-spin sulfide-rich compounds as a function of composition. Compression of Sr2NiO2Cu2Se2 up to 7.2 GPa does not show any structural signature of a change in the spin state. Consideration of the experimental and computed Ni2+ coordination environments and their subtle changes as a function of temperature, in addition to transitions evident in the transport properties and magnetic susceptibilities in the end members, Sr2NiO2Cu2Se2 and Sr2NiO2Cu2S2, suggest that simple high-spin and low-spin models for Ni2+ may not be entirely appropriate and point to further complexities in these compounds.

High-Pressure High-Temperature Synthesis of Mixed Nitridosilicatephosphates and Luminescence of AESiP3 N7 :Eu2+ (AE=Sr, Ba).

Project description:Tetrahedra-based nitrides with network structures have emerged as versatile materials with a broad spectrum of properties and applications. Both nitridosilicates and nitridophosphates are well-known examples of such nitrides that upon doping with Eu2+ exhibit intriguing luminescence properties, which makes them attractive for applications. Nitridosilicates and nitridophosphates show manifold structural variability; however, no mixed nitridosilicatephosphates except SiPN3 and SiP2N4NH have been described so far. The compounds AESiP3 N7 (AE=Sr, Ba) were synthesized by a high-pressure high-temperature approach using the multianvil technique (8 GPa, 1400-1700 °C) starting from the respective alkaline earth azides and the binary nitrides P3 N5 and Si3 N4 . The latter were activated by NH4 F, probably acting as a mineralizing agent. SrSiP3 N7 and BaSiP3 N7 were obtained as single crystals. They crystallized in the barylite-1O (M=Sr) and barylite-2O structure types (M=Ba), respectively, with P and Si being occupationally disordered. Cation disorder was further supported by solid-state NMR spectroscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) mapping of BaSiP3 N7 with atomic resolution. Upon doping with Eu2+ , both compounds showed blue emission under UV excitation.

Neutron Total Scattering Studies of Group II Titanates (ATiO3, A2+ = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba).

Project description:Neutron total scattering measurements were conducted on MgTiO3, CaTiO3, SrTiO3, and BaTiO3 to simultaneously investigate the local and average structure of these materials. The local structures of MgTiO3, CaTiO3, and SrTiO3 were well modelled using the refined average structural models: trigonal R[Formula: see text], orthorhombic Pbnm, and cubic Pm[Formula: see text]m respectively. However the local structure for BaTiO3, at both temperatures where the average structure is orthorhombic Amm2 and tetragonal P4mm, was best described by the rhombohedral R3m model. Only the R3m model was able to account for the observed displacement of titanium in the [111] direction. Furthermore, box-car type refinements were conducted. These refinements show that the coherence length of the rhombohedral distortion is around 10 Å, at larger r-ranges the local distortions become misaligned and average out to Amm2 and P4mm.

[Ag9(1,2-BDT)6]3-: How Square-Pyramidal Building Blocks Self-Assemble into the Smallest Silver Nanocluster.

Project description:The emerging promise of few-atom metal catalysts has driven the need for developing metal nanoclusters (NCs) with ultrasmall core size. However, the preparation of metal NCs with single-digit metallic atoms and atomic precision is a major challenge for materials chemists, particularly for Ag, where the structure of such NCs remains unknown. In this study, we developed a shape-controlled synthesis strategy based on an isomeric dithiol ligand to yield the smallest crystallized Ag NC to date: [Ag9(1,2-BDT)6]3- (1,2-BDT = 1,2-benzenedithiolate). The NC's crystal structure reveals the self-assembly of two Ag square pyramids through preferential pyramidal vertex sharing of a single metallic Ag atom, while all other Ag atoms are incorporated in a motif with thiolate ligands, resulting in an elongated body-centered Ag9 skeleton. Steric hindrance and arrangement of the dithiolated ligands on the surface favor the formation of an anisotropic shape. Time-dependent density functional theory based calculations reproduce the experimental optical absorption features and identify the molecular orbitals responsible for the electronic transitions. Our findings will open new avenues for the design of novel single-digit metal NCs with directional self-assembled building blocks.

Investigation of factors affecting the stability of compounds formed by isovalent substitution in layered oxychalcogenides, leading to identification of Ba3Sc2O5Cu2Se2, Ba3Y2O5Cu2S2, Ba3Sc2O5Ag2Se2 and Ba3In2O5Ag2Se2.

Project description:Four novel compositions containing chalcogenide layers, adopting the Ba3M2O5M'2Ch2 layered structure have been identified: Ba3Sc2O5Cu2Se2, Ba3Y2O5Cu2S2, Ba3Sc2O5Ag2Se2 and Ba3In2O5Ag2Se2. A comprehensive comparison of experimental and computational results providing the crystallographic and electronic structure of the compounds under investigation has been conducted. Materials were synthesised at 800 °C under vacuum using a conventional ceramic synthesis route with combination of binary oxide and chalcogenide precursors. We report their structures determined by Rietveld refinement of X-ray powder diffraction patterns, and band gaps determined from optical measurements, which range from 1.44 eV to 3.04 eV. Through computational modelling we can also present detailed band structures and propose that, based on their predicted transport properties, Ba3Sc2O5Ag2Se2 has potential as a visible light photocatalyst and Ba3Sc2O5Cu2Se2 is of interest as a p-type transparent conductor. These four novel compounds are part of a larger series of sixteen compounds adopting the Ba3M2O5M'2Ch2 structure that we have considered, of which approximately half are stable and can be synthesized. Analysis of the compounds that cannot be synthesized from this group allows us to identify why compounds containing either M = La, or silver sulfide chalcogenide layers, cannot be formed in this structure type.

Novel optical temperature sensor based on emission in Pr3+ doped ferroelectric Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3.

Project description:Optical temperature sensing based on the variation of the fluorescence intensity ratio of rare-earth materials has become appealing due to its multiple superiorities over electrical temperature sensing. However, confined by the largest energy separation of two thermally linked levels of rare earth ions, the highest sensitivity of such temperature sensing is essentially smaller than 2878/T 2, as reported previously from diverse systems. In this work, we demonstrate that ultrahigh-sensitive temperature sensing can be achieved from Pr3+-doped (Ba0.7Sr0.3)TiO3 based on the intensity ratio of the 1D2-3H4 emission to the 3P0-3H4 emission. The ratio can be increased as much as 90-fold when the temperature rises from room temperature to 513 K, nicely fitting a thermally linked-levels like equation and showing an ultrahigh sensitivity of 4275.1/T 2. The striking change of the ratio is attributed to the interaction between the two emission levels and the intervalence charge transfer state. This work may have provided a distinct route in the field of optical temperature sensing utilizing rare-earth-doped materials. In addition, the resultant product also possesses excellent photoluminescence and ferroelectric properties, showing promising potentials in multifunctional devices for practical applications.

High-sensitivity luminescent temperature sensors: MFX:1%Sm2+ (M = Sr, Ba, X = Cl, Br).

Project description:The use of lanthanide luminescence has advanced the field of remote temperature sensing. Luminescence intensity ratio methods relying on emission from two thermally coupled energy levels are popular but suffer from a limited temperature range. Here, we present a versatile luminescent thermometer: Ba(Sr)FBr(Cl):Sm2+. The Sm2+ ion benefits from multiple thermally coupled excited states to extend the temperature range and has strong parity-allowed 4f6→4f55d1 absorption to increase brightness. We conduct a comparative analysis of the temperature sensing performance of Sm2+ in BaFBr, BaFCl, SrFBr, and SrFCl and address the role of concentration, host, and Boltzmann equilibration. Different thermal coupling schemes, 5D1-5D0 and 4f55d1-5D0, and temperature-dependent lifetimes enable accurate sensing between 350 and 800 kelvin. Differences in 4f55d1-5D0 energy gap allows optimization for a temperature range of interest. This type of Sm2+-based thermometer holds great potential for temperature monitoring in the wide and relevant range up to 500°C.

Flexible power generators by Ag2Se thin films with record-high thermoelectric performance.

Project description:Exploring new near-room-temperature thermoelectric materials is significant for replacing current high-cost Bi2Te3. This study highlights the potential of Ag2Se for wearable thermoelectric electronics, addressing the trade-off between performance and flexibility. A record-high ZT of 1.27 at 363 K is achieved in Ag2Se-based thin films with 3.2 at.% Te doping on Se sites, realized by a new concept of doping-induced orientation engineering. We reveal that Te-doping enhances film uniformity and (00l)-orientation and in turn carrier mobility by reducing the (00l) formation energy, confirmed by solid computational and experimental evidence. The doping simultaneously widens the bandgap, resulting in improved Seebeck coefficients and high power factors, and introduces TeSe point defects to effectively reduce the lattice thermal conductivity. A protective organic-polymer-based composite layer enhances film flexibility, and a rationally designed flexible thermoelectric device achieves an output power density of 1.5 mW cm-2 for wearable power generation under a 20 K temperature difference.

In situ reactive coating of metallic and selenophilic Ag2Se on Se/C cathode materials for high performance Li-Se batteries.

Project description:A facile methodology to fabricate a metallic and selenophilic Ag2Se coating on a Se/nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon composite, has been successfully developed based on the in situ redox reaction between Se and AgNO3 under ambient conditions. The in situ reactive growth of Ag2Se on Se ensures the complete encapsulation of Se by the Ag2Se coating, which endows the Ag2Se coating with the dual effects of physical entrapment and chemical binding to effectively confine polyselenide intermediates within the cathodes. With the further assistance of mesopore confinement of the nitrogen-doped carbons, the Ag2Se-coated Se/nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon composites present much improved electrochemical performances with a high initial discharge capacity of 652 mA h g-1, a high coulombic efficiency of 95.4% and a high reversible capacity of 382 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles. These encouraging results suggest that the in situ reactive construction of metallic and chalcogenophilic coating layers on the chalcogen (e.g. S, Se and Te)-based electrode materials should be a promising and easy to scale-up method for practical applications of lithium batteries in light of the very simple in situ reaction processes involved.

Crystal Growth from Anhydrous HF Solutions of M2+ (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) and [AuF6]-, Not Only Simple M(AuF6)2 Salts.

Project description:Crystal growth from anhydrous HF solutions of M2+ (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) and [AuF6]- (molar ratio 1:2) gave [Ca(HF)2](AuF6)2, [Sr(HF)](AuF6)2, and Ba[Ba(HF)]6(AuF6)14. [Ca(HF)2](AuF6)2 exhibits a layered structure in which [Ca(HF)2]2+ cations are connected by AuF6 units, while the crystal structure of Ba[Ba(HF)]6(AuF6)14 exhibits a complex three-dimensional (3-D) network consisting of Ba2+ and [Ba(HF)2]2+ cations bridged by AuF6 groups. These results indicate that the previously reported M(AuF6)2 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) compounds, prepared in the anhydrous HF, do not in fact correspond to this chemical formula. When the initial M2+/[AuF6]- ratio was 1:1, single crystals of [M(HF)](H3F4)(AuF6) were grown for M = Sr. The crystal structure consists of a 3-D framework formed by [Sr(HF)]2+ cations associated with [AuF6]- and [H3F4]- anions. The latter exhibits a Z-shaped conformation, which has not been observed before. Single crystals of M(BF4)(AuF6) (M = Sr, Ba) were grown when a small amount of BF3 was present during crystallization. Sr(BF4)(AuF6) crystallizes in two modifications. A high-temperature α-phase (293 K) crystallized in an orthorhombic unit cell, and a low-temperature β-phase (150 K) crystallized in a monoclinic unit cell. For Ba(BF4)(AuF6), only an orthorhombic modification was observed in the range 80-230 K. An attempt to grow crystals of Ca(BF4)(AuF6) failed. Instead, crystals of [Ca(HF)](BF4)2 were grown and the crystal structure was determined. During prolonged crystallization of [AuF]6- salts, moisture can penetrate through the walls of the crystallization vessel. This can lead to partial reduction of Au(V) to A(III) and the formation of [AuF4]- byproducts, as shown by the single-crystal growth of [Ba(HF)]4(AuF4)(AuF6)7. Its crystal structure consists of [Ba(HF)]2+ cations connected by AuF6 octahedra and square-planar AuF4 units. The crystal structure of the minor product [O2]2[Sr(HF)]5[AuF6]12·HF was also determined.
