Multi-layered Barium and Strontium Carbonate Structures Induced by the Small Organic Dye Acid Orange 7.

ABSTRACT: The crystal growth behavior induced by small molecular additives is commonly assumed to be far less complex and rich in comparison to that obtained when using macromolecules. Herein, we demonstrate that the small organic molecule Acid Orange 7 can induce a large diversity of multi-layered barium carbonate structures. These multi-layered structures stem from the small molecule imperfectly blocking the fastest growing crystal face. By tuning the balance of growth and inhibition, we control the layer shape and thickness of the structures. Extending these strategies to strontium carbonate enables the precipitation of large quasi two-dimensional multi-layer sheets. Collectively, these findings highlight the unforeseen potential for using small organic molecules to induce the formation of complex inorganic structures.

Cellular Response of the bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 to Strontium: bio-precipitation as strontium carbonate.

Project description:The physiological and transcriptomic response of the metal resistant bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans strain CH34 in response to stable (non-radioactive) strontium ions (Sr) was investigated. C. metallidurans CH34 could survive and proliferate in the presence of relatively high concentrations of SrCl2 (D10 is 70mM, MIC is 120 mM). Precipitation of Sr as strontium carbonate was observed in the culture during aerobic growth of CH34 in the presence of 60 mM SrCl2. To identify the cellular mechanisms involved in the bioprecipitation process, gene expression in the cells was analyzed after short-time (30 min) exposure to low (5 mM) and high (60 mM) concentrations of SrCl2. The transcription of the gene clusters annotated as hmyFCBA and czcCBADRS, coding for ion efflux pumps, was significantly induced following exposure to Sr, and not with Ca. There were also significant changes is the transcription of the genes encoding TctCBA proteins involved in citrate uptake and two hypothetical porin coding genes following exposure Sr and Ca. These results highlight a specific molecular response of bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 to Sr, including the identification of putative Sr specific efflux pumps, and thus the potential of this bacterium to distinguish Sr from Ca. These findings will help to better understand natural Sr (and Ca) microbial weathering or mineralization processes in the environment, and could be of interest for bioremediation or bioprocessing of (radioactive) Sr-containing water, soil or waste.

Bimetallic Organic Gel for Effective Methyl Orange Dye Adsorption.

Project description:A bimetallic organic gel (MOG-Fe/Al) was synthesized through the solvothermal method. The gel state of the product obtained under optimized gel formation conditions is sufficient to carry 2 g of weight for a long time. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) technique, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirmed the structures and morphologies of the synthesized materials. MOG-Fe/Al, with good stability, excellent durability, and wide applicability, exhibited efficient MO adsorption capacity as high as 335.88 mg/g at 25 °C. Adsorption-influencing factors including solution pH, contact time, and temperature were investigated. The adsorption performance of the bimetallic organic gel was better than that of the monometallic organic gels (MOG-Fe and MOG-Al), and its adsorption processes were in accordance with the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isothermal models. The excellent adsorption capacity of the MOG-Fe/Al is due to its surface structure, pore volume, π-π interactions, hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic interactions.

SBN60, strontium-barium niobate at 100 K.

Project description:The title compound, Sr0.6Ba0.4Nb2O6 (strontium barium niobium oxide), belongs to the group of strontium-barium niobates with varying composition of Sr and Ba. Their general formula can be written as Sr x Ba1 - x Nb2O6. Below the Curie temperature, T c , these materials indicate ferroelectric properties. The Curie temperature for SBN60 is equal to 346±0.5 K so the structure is in the ferroelectric phase at the measurement temperature of 100 K. Characteristic for this family of compounds is the packing along the z-axis. The NbO6 corner-sharing octa-hedra surround three types of vacancy tunnels with penta-gonal, square and triangular shapes. The Sr(2+) ions partially occupy two unique sites, the first one located inside the penta-gon and the second one in the square tunnels. Consequently, they are situated on the mirror plane and the inter-section of two glide planes, respectively. The site inside the penta-gonal tunnel is additionally disordered so that the same position is shared by Ba(2+) and Sr(2+) ions whereas another part of the Ba(2+) ion occupies a different position (relative occupancies 0.43:0.41:0.16). One of the Nb(V) atoms and three of the O(2-) ions occupy general positions. The second Nb(V) atom is located on the inter-section of the mirror planes. Two remaining O(2-) ions are located on the same mirror plane. Only the Nb(V) atom and one of the O(2-) ions which is located on the mirror plane are not disordered. Each of the remaining O(2-) ions is split between two sites, with relative occupancies of 0.52:0.48 (O(2-) ions in general positions) and 0.64:0.36 (O(2-) ion on the mirror plane).

Strong quenching of dye fluorescence in monomeric perylene orange/TMDC hybrid structures.

Project description:Hybrid structures with an interface between two different materials with properly aligned energy levels facilitate photo-induced charge separation to be exploited in optoelectronic applications. Particularly, the combination of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and dye molecules offers strong light-matter interaction, tailorable band level alignments, and high fluorescence quantum yields. In this work, we aim at the charge or energy transfer-related quenching of the fluorescence of the dye perylene orange (PO) when isolated molecules are brought onto monolayer TMDCs via thermal vapor deposition. Here, micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy revealed a strong intensity drop of the PO fluorescence. For the TMDC emission, in contrast, we observed a relative growth of the trion versus exciton contribution. In addition, fluorescence imaging lifetime microscopy quantified the intensity quenching to a factor of about 103 and demonstrated a drastic lifetime reduction from 3 ns to values much shorter than the 100 ps width of the instrument response function. From the ratio of the intensity quenching that is attributed to hole or energy transfer from dye to semiconductor, we deduce a time constant of several picoseconds at most, pointing to an efficient charge separation suitable for optoelectronic devices.

Degradation of Organic Methyl Orange (MO) Dye Using a Photocatalyzed Non-Ferrous Fenton Reaction.

Project description:Removal of recalcitrant organic pollutants by degradation or mineralization from industrial waste streams is continuously being explored to find viable options to apply on the commercial scale. Herein, we propose a titanium nanotube array (based on a non-ferrous Fenton system) for the successful degradation of a model contaminant azo dye, methyl orange, under simulated solar illumination. Titanium nanotube arrays were synthesized by anodizing a titanium film in an electrolyte medium containing water and ethylene glycol. Characterization by SEM, XRD, and profilometry confirmed uniformly distributed tubular arrays with 100 nm width and 400 nm length. The non-ferrous Fenton performance of the titanium nanotube array in a minimal concentration of H2O2 showed remarkable degradation kinetics, with a 99.7% reduction in methyl orange dye concentration after a 60 min reaction time when illuminated with simulated solar light (100 mW cm-2, AM 1.5G). The pseudo-first-order rate constant was 0.407 µmol-1 min-1, adhering to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. Reaction product analyses by TOC and LC/MS/MS confirmed that the methyl orange was partially fragmented, while the rest was mineralized. The facile withdrawal and regeneration observed in the film-based titanium nanotube array photocatalyst highlight its potential to treat real industrial wastewater streams with a <5% performance drop over 20 reaction cycles.

Inside polyMOFs: layered structures in polymer-based metal-organic frameworks.

Project description:In this report, we explore the internal structural features of polyMOFs consisting of equal mass ratios of metal-coordinating poly(benzenedicarboxylic acid) blocks and non-coordinating poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) blocks. The studies reveal alternating lamellae of metal-rich, crystalline regions and metal-deficient non-crystalline polymer, which span the length of hundreds of nanometers. Polymers consisting of random PEG blocks, PEG end-blocks, or non-coordinating poly(cyclooctadiene) (COD) show similar alternation of metal-rich and metal-deficient regions, indicating a universal self-assembly mechanism. A variety of techniques were employed to interrogate the internal structure of the polyMOFs, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and small-angle synchrotron X-ray scattering (SAXS). Independent of the copolymer architecture or composition, the internal structure of the polyMOF crystals showed similar lamellar self-assembly at single-nanometer length scales.

Local Light-Controlled Generation of Calcium Carbonate and Barium Carbonate Biomorphs via Photochemical Stimulation.

Project description:Photochemical activation is proposed as a general method for controlling the crystallization of sparingly soluble carbonates in space and time. The photogeneration of carbonate in an alkaline environment is achieved upon photo-decarboxylation of an organic precursor by using a conventional 365 nm UV LED. Local irradiation was conducted focusing the LED light on a 300 μm radius spot on a closed glass crystallization cell. The precursor solution was optimized to avoid the precipitation of the photoreaction organic byproducts and prevent photo-induced pH changes to achieve the formation of calcium carbonate only in the corresponding irradiated area. The crystallization was monitored in real-time by time-lapse imaging. The method is also shown to work in gels. Similarly, it was also shown to photo-activate locally the formation of barium carbonate biomorphs. In the last case, the morphology of these biomimetic structures was tuned by changing the irradiation intensity.

Small-scale layered structures at the inner core boundary.

Project description:The fine-scale seismic features near the inner core boundary (ICB) provide critical insights into the thermal, chemical, and geodynamical interactions between liquid and solid cores, and may shed light on the evolution mechanism of the Earth's core. Here, we utilize a dataset of pre-critical PKiKP waveforms to constrain the fine structure at the ICB, considering the influence of various factors such as source complexity, structural anomalies in the mantle, and properties at the ICB. Our modeling suggests a sharp ICB beneath Mongolia and most of Northeast Asia, but a locally laminated ICB structure beneath Central Asia, Siberia, and part of Northeast Asia. The complex ICB structure might be explained by either the existence of a kilometer-scale thickness of mushy zone, or the localized coexistence of bcc and hcp iron phase at the ICB. We infer that there may be considerable lateral variations in the dendrites growing process at ICB, probably due to the complicated thermochemical and geodynamical interaction between the outer and inner core.

Effect of Strontium Substitution on the Tribocatalytic Performance of Barium Titanate.

Project description:This study investigates the impact of Sr doping on the tribocatalytic performance of BaTiO3 in degrading organic pollutants. Ba1-xSrxTiO3 (x = 0-0.3) nanopowders are synthesized and their tribocatalytic performance evaluated. By doping Sr into BaTiO3, the tribocatalytic performance was enhanced, resulting in an approximately 35% improvement in the degradation efficiency of Rhodamine B using Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3. Factors such as the friction contact area, stirring speed, and materials of the friction pairs also influenced the dye degradation. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed that Sr doping improved BaTiO3's charge transfer efficiency, thereby boosting its tribocatalytic performance. These findings indicate potential applications for Ba1-xSrxTiO3 in dye degradation processes.
