Synthesis and Characterization of Tungsten Suboxide W_nO_3n-1 Nanotiles.

ABSTRACT: W_nO_3n-1 nanotiles, with multiple stoichiometries within one nanotile, were synthesized via the chemical vapour transport method. They grow along the [010] crystallographic axis, with the thickness ranging from a few tens to a few hundreds of nm, with the lateral size up to several µm. Distinct surface corrugations, up to a few 10 nm deep appear during growth. The {102}_r crystallographic shear planes indicate the W_nO_3n-1 stoichiometries. Within a single nanotile, six stoichiometries were detected, namely W₁₆O₄₇ (WO_2.938), W₁₅O₄₄ (WO_2.933), W₁₄O₄₁ (WO_2.928), W₁₃O₃₈ (WO_2.923), W₁₂O₃₅ (WO_2.917), and W₁₁O₃₂ (WO_2.909), with the last three never being reported before. The existence of oxygen vacancies within the crystallographic shear planes resulted in the observed non-zero density of states at the Fermi energy.

Synthesis and Characterization of Tungsten Amide Complexes for the Deposition of Tungsten Disulfide Thin Films.

Project description:To substitute corrosive halogen ligands, we designed and synthesized novel tungsten complexes containing amido ligands, W(DMEDA)3 (1) and W(DEEDA)3 (2) (DMEDA = N,N'-dimethylethylenediamido; DEEDA = N,N'-diethylethylenediamido). Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and elemental analysis. The pseudo-octahedral molecular structure of 1 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The thermal properties of 1 and 2 were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), which confirmed that the precursors were volatile and exhibited adequate thermal stability. Additionally, the WS2 deposition test was performed using 1 in thermal chemical vapor deposition (thermal CVD). Further analysis of the surface of the thin films was conducted using Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Synthesis and Characterization of Hydrido Carbonyl Molybdenum and Tungsten PNP Pincer Complexes.

Project description:In the present study the Mo(0) and W(0) complexes [M(PNP)(CO)3] as well as seven-coordinate cationic hydridocarbonyl Mo(II) and W(II) complexes of the type [M(PNP)(CO)3H]+, featuring PNP pincer ligands based on 2,6-diaminopyridine, have been prepared and fully characterized. The synthesis of Mo(0) complexes [Mo(PNP)(CO)3] was accomplished by treatment of [Mo(CO)3(CH3CN)3] with the respective PNP ligands. The analogous W(0) complexes were prepared by reduction of the bromocarbonyl complexes [W(PNP)(CO)3Br]+ with NaHg. These intermediates were obtained from the known dinuclear complex [W(CO)4(?-Br)Br]2, prepared in situ from W(CO)6 and stoichiometric amounts of Br2. Addition of HBF4 to [M(PNP)(CO)3] resulted in clean protonation at the molybdenum and tungsten centers to generate the Mo(II) and W(II) hydride complexes [M(PNP)(CO)3H]+. The protonation is fully reversible, and upon addition of NEt3 as base the Mo(0) and W(0) complexes [M(PNP)(CO)3] are regenerated quantitatively. All heptacoordinate complexes exhibit fluxional behavior in solution. The mechanism of the dynamic process of the hydrido carbonyl complexes was investigated by means of DFT calculations, revealing that it occurs in a single step. The structures of representative complexes were determined by X-ray single-crystal analyses.

Morphological and Phase Controlled Tungsten Based Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Characterization of Scheelites, Wolframites, and Oxides Nanomaterials.

Project description:For the first time tungsten based nanoparticles (WNPs) of scheelite (MWO(4); M = Ca, Sr, Ba, Pb), wolframite (MWO(4); M = Mn, Fe, Zn & (Mg(0.60)Mn(0.17)Fe(0.26))WO(4)), and the oxide (WO(3) and W(18)O(49)) were synthesized from solution precipitation (i.e.,trioctylamine or oleic acid) and solvothermal (i.e., benzyl alcohol) routes. The resultant WNPs were prepared directly from tungsten (VI) ethoxide (W(OCH(2)CH(3))(6), 1) and stoichiometeric mixtures of the following precursors: [Ca(N(SiMe(3))(2))(2)](2) (2), Pb(N(SiMe(3))(2))(2) (3), Mn[(mu-Mes)(2)Mn(Mes)](2) (4), [Fe(mu-Mes)(Mes)](2) (5), Fe(CO)(5) (6), H(+)[Ba(2)(mu(3)-ONep)(mu-ONep)(2)(ONep)(ONep)(3)(py)](-) (2) (7), H(+)[Sr(5)(mu(4)-O)(mu(3)-ONep)(4)(mu-ONep)(4)(ONep)(py)(4)](-) (8), and [Zn(Et)(ONep)(py)](2) (9) where Mes = C(6)H(2)(CH(3))(3)-2,4,6, ONep = OCH(2)CMe(3), Et = CH(2)CH(3), and py = pyridine. Through these routes, the WNP morphologies were found to be manipulated by the processing conditions, while precursor selection influenced the final phase observed. For the solution precipitation route, 1 yielded (5 x 100 nm) W(18)O(49) rods while stochiometeric reactions between 1 and (2 - 9) generated homogenous sub 30 nm nano-dots, -diamonds, -rods, and -wires for the MWO(4) systems. For the solvothermal route, 1 was found to produce wires of WO(3) with aspect ratios of 20 while (1 & 2) formed 10 - 60 nm CaWO(4) nanodots. Room temperature photoluminescent (PL) emission properties of select WNPs were also examined with fluorescence spectroscopy (lambda(ex) = 320 nm). Broad PL emissions = 430, 420, 395, 420 nm were noted for 5 x 100 nm W(18)O(49) rods, 5 x 15 nm, CaWO(4) rods, 10 - 30 nm CaWO(4) dots, and 10 nm BaWO(4) diamonds, respectively.

Material Synthesis and Device Aspects of Monolayer Tungsten Diselenide.

Project description:In this paper, we investigate the synthesis of WSe2 by chemical vapor deposition and study the current transport and device scaling of monolayer WSe2. We found that the device characteristics of the back-gated WSe2 transistors with thick oxides are very sensitive to the applied drain bias, especially for transistors in the sub-micrometer regime. The threshold voltage, subthreshold swing, and extracted field-effect mobility vary with the applied drain bias. The output characteristics in the long-channel transistors show ohmic-like behavior, while that in the short-channel transistors show Schottky-like behavior. Our investigation reveals that these phenomena are caused by the drain-induced barrier lowering (short-channel effect). For back-gated WSe2 transistors with 280?nm oxide, the short-channel effect appears when the channel length is shorter than 0.4?µm. This extremely long electrostatic scaling length is due to the thick back-gate oxides. In addition, we also found that the hydrogen flow rate and the amount of WO3 precursor play an important role in the morphology of the WSe2. The hole mobility of the monolayer WSe2 is limited by Columbic scattering below 250?K, while it is limited by phonon scattering above 250?K. These findings are very important for the synthesis of WSe2 and accurate characterization of the electronic devices based on 2D materials.

Synthesis and Characterization of Tungsten Nitrido Amido Guanidinato Complexes as Precursors for Chemical Vapor Deposition of WNxCy Thin Films.

Project description:Tungsten nitrido amido guanidinato complexes of the type WN(NR2)[(NR')2C(NR2)]2 (R = Me, Et; R' = i Pr, Cy) were synthesized as precursors for aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) of WNxCy thin films. The reaction of tungsten nitrido amido complexes of the type WN(NR2)3 (R = Me, Et) with two equivalents of a carbodiimide R'N=C=NR' (R' = i Pr, Cy) resulted in two insertions of a carbodiimide into W-N(amido) bonds, affording bis(guanidinato) amido nitrido tungsten complexes. These compounds were characterized by 14N NMR, indicating distinctive chemical shifts for each type of N-bound ligand. Crystallographic structure determination of WN(NMe2)[(N i Pr)2C(NMe2)]2 showed the guanidinato ligands to be non-equivalent. The complex WN(NMe2)[(N i Pr)2C(NMe2)]2 was demonstrated to serve as a precursor for AACVD of WNxCy thin films, resulting in featureless, X-ray amorphous thin films for growth temperatures 200 - 400 °C.

Controllable synthesis of molybdenum tungsten disulfide alloy for vertically composition-controlled multilayer.

Project description:The effective synthesis of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides alloy is essential for successful application in electronic and optical devices based on a tunable band gap. Here we show a synthesis process for Mo1-xWxS2 alloy using sulfurization of super-cycle atomic layer deposition Mo1-xWxOy. Various spectroscopic and microscopic results indicate that the synthesized Mo1-xWxS2 alloys have complete mixing of Mo and W atoms and tunable band gap by systematically controlled composition and layer number. Based on this, we synthesize a vertically composition-controlled (VCC) Mo1-xWxS2 multilayer using five continuous super-cycles with different cycle ratios for each super-cycle. Angle-resolved X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, Raman and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer results reveal that a VCC Mo1-xWxS2 multilayer has different vertical composition and broadband light absorption with strong interlayer coupling within a VCC Mo1-xWxS2 multilayer. Further, we demonstrate that a VCC Mo1-xWxS2 multilayer photodetector generates three to four times greater photocurrent than MoS2- and WS2-based devices, owing to the broadband light absorption.

The Tungsten-Promoted Synthesis of Piperidyl-Modified <i>erythro</i>-Methylphenidate Derivatives.

Project description:Due to its efficacy as a dopamine receptor agonist, methylphenidate (MPH) is of interest as a potential therapeutic for cocaine addiction. While numerous derivatives of MPH have been investigated for their potential medicinal value, functionalization of the piperidine ring has not been explored. The pyridine borane ligand in WTp(NO)(PMe3)(η2-pyBH3) is dearomatized by the metal and can be elaborated to the analogous η2-mesylpyridinium complex. Installing a methyl phenylacetate moiety at the C2' position via a Reformatsky reaction followed by a tandem protonation/nucleophilic addition sequence results in a library of erythro MPH analogues functionalized at the piperidyl C5' position. The functional group is added chemoselectively to C5', cis to the methyl phenylacetate. Repeating this procedure with an enantioenriched source of the tungsten reagent results in enantioenriched MPH derivatives. All identities of the newly reported compounds are supported by comprehensive 2D NMR and HRMS data or crystallographic data.

Characterization of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding Fume Generated by Apprentice Welders.

Project description:Tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) represents one of the most widely used metal joining processes in industry. Its propensity to generate a greater portion of welding fume particles at the nanoscale poses a potential occupational health hazard for workers. However, current literature lacks comprehensive characterization of TIG welding fume particles. Even less is known about welding fumes generated by welding apprentices with little experience in welding. We characterized TIG welding fume generated by apprentice welders (N = 20) in a ventilated exposure cabin. Exposure assessment was conducted for each apprentice welder at the breathing zone (BZ) inside of the welding helmet and at a near-field (NF) location, 60cm away from the welding task. We characterized particulate matter (PM4), particle number concentration and particle size, particle morphology, chemical composition, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production potential, and gaseous components. The mean particle number concentration at the BZ was 1.69E+06 particles cm(-3), with a mean geometric mean diameter of 45nm. On average across all subjects, 92% of the particle counts at the BZ were below 100nm. We observed elevated concentrations of tungsten, which was most likely due to electrode consumption. Mean ROS production potential of TIG welding fumes at the BZ exceeded average concentrations previously found in traffic-polluted air. Furthermore, ROS production potential was significantly higher for apprentices that burned their metal during their welding task. We recommend that future exposure assessments take into consideration welding performance as a potential exposure modifier for apprentice welders or welders with minimal training.

Hollow Sodium Tungsten Bronze (Na0.15WO3) Nanospheres: Preparation, Characterization, and Their Adsorption Properties.

Project description:We report herein a facile method for the preparation of sodium tungsten bronzes hollow nanospheres using hydrogen gas bubbles as reactant for chemical reduction of tungstate to tungsten and as template for the formation of hollow nanospheres at the same time. The chemical composition and the crystalline state of the as-prepared hollow Na0.15WO3nanospheres were characterized complementarily, and the hollow structure formation mechanism was proposed. The hollow Na0.15WO3nanospheres showed large Brunauer-Emment-Teller specific area (33.8 m2 g-1), strong resistance to acids, and excellent ability to remove organic molecules such as dye and proteins from aqueous solutions. These illustrate that the hollow nanospheres of Na0.15WO3should be a useful adsorbent.
