Kinetics of NH3 Desorption and Diffusion on Pt: Implications for the Ostwald Process.

ABSTRACT: We report accurate time-resolved measurements of NH3 desorption from Pt(111) and Pt(332) and use these results to determine elementary rate constants for desorption from steps, from (111) terrace sites and for diffusion on (111) terraces. Modeling the extracted rate constants with transition state theory, we find that conventional models for partition functions, which rely on uncoupled degrees of freedom (DOFs), are not able to reproduce the experimental observations. The results can be reproduced using a more sophisticated partition function, which couples DOFs that are most sensitive to NH3 translation parallel to the surface; this approach yields accurate values for the NH3 binding energy to Pt(111) (1.13 ± 0.02 eV) and the diffusion barrier (0.71 ± 0.04 eV). In addition, we determine NH3's binding energy preference for steps over terraces on Pt (0.23 ± 0.03 eV). The ratio of the diffusion barrier to desorption energy is ∼0.65, in violation of the so-called 12% rule. Using our derived diffusion/desorption rates, we explain why established rate models of the Ostwald process incorrectly predict low selectivity and yields of NO under typical reactor operating conditions. Our results suggest that mean-field kinetics models have limited applicability for modeling the Ostwald process.

Multiscale Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of the Kinetics Process of Methane Desorption-Diffusion in Coal.

Project description:The methane desorption and diffusion characteristics in coal are key factors affecting coalbed methane productivity. In this paper, we developed a lattice Boltzmann model for methane migration in the multiscale porous media of coal. In the simulation, the diffusion of methane in macropores/fractures is assumed to follow Fick's law, and that in the coal matrix is treated as Knudsen diffusion. In addition, the Langmuir adsorption kinetics equation is employed to describe the dynamic process of methane adsorption and desorption. The results indicated the following: (1) The specific surface area and fracture proportion of the coal will increase with the employment of hydraulic fracturing, which may prompt the gas desorption-diffusion efficiency. (2) The flow and diffusion of methane are closely related to each other. When the gas diffusivity is poor, the desorption-diffusion can be effectively accelerated by increasing the drainage intensity, but when the gas diffusivity is fine, the flow velocity has little influence on the methane desorption. In practice, if the estimated methane diffusion coefficient is below the order of 10-5 m2/s, more attention should be paid to its accuracy; otherwise, the obtained results may have a large deviation from the real value. (3) In the typical range of average pore sizes of coal, gas desorption rate growth with the increase of pore size makes the low-rank coal more advantageous in exploitation due to its larger average pore size. With the decline of reservoir pressure, the low- and high-rank coals more easily desorb methane than medium-rank coal. (4) In the kinetic study of the coalbed methane desorption-diffusion process, the accuracy of the obtained results may depend on the adsorption and desorption rate constants if the desorption rate constant is less than 106 1/s.

Formation and Diffusion of Metal Impurities in Perovskite Solar Cell Material CH3NH3PbI3: Implications on Solar Cell Degradation and Choice of Electrode.

Project description:Solar cells based on methylammonium lead triiodide (MAPbI3) have shown remarkable progress in recent years and have demonstrated efficiencies greater than 20%. However, the long-term stability of MAPbI3-based solar cells has yet to be achieved. Besides the well-known chemical and thermal instabilities, significant native ion migration in lead halide perovskites leads to current-voltage hysteresis and photoinduced phase segregation. Recently, it is further revealed that, despite having excellent chemical stability, the Au electrode can cause serious solar cell degradation due to Au diffusion into MAPbI3. In addition to Au, many other metals have been used as electrodes in MAPbI3 solar cells. However, how the external metal impurities introduced by electrodes affect the long-term stability of MAPbI3 solar cells has rarely been studied. A comprehensive study of formation energetics and diffusion dynamics of a number of noble and transition metal impurities (Au, Ag, Cu, Cr, Mo, W, Co, Ni, Pd) in MAPbI3 based on first-principles calculations is reported herein. The results uncover important general trends of impurity formation and diffusion in MAPbI3 and provide useful guidance for identifying the optimal metal electrodes that do not introduce electrically active impurity defects in MAPbI3 while having low resistivities and suitable work functions for carrier extraction.

A high-performance room-temperature NH3 gas sensor based on WO3/TiO2 nanocrystals decorated with Pt NPs.

Project description:In this work, a high-performance room-temperature ammonia (NH3) gas sensor based on Pt-modified WO3-TiO2 nanocrystals was synthesized via a two-step hydrothermal method. The structural properties were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The 10 at% Pt@WO3-TiO2 nanocrystals present the highest NH3 sensing performance at room temperature. Compared with the nanocrystals without Pt modification, the sensitivity of the Pt@WO3-TiO2 sensor is tenfold higher, with the lowest concentration threshold reaching the 75 ppb level. The response is approximately 92.28 to 50 ppm, and response and recovery times are 23 s and 8 s, respectively. The improved sensing was attributed to a synergetic mechanism involving the space charge layer effect and Pt metal sensitization, enhancing the electron transfer efficiency, oxygen vacancy and specific surface area. This study is expected to guide the development of high-performance room-temperature ammonia sensors for clinical breath testing.

Moisture effect on the diffusion of Cu ions in Cu/Ta2O5/Pt and Cu/SiO2/Pt resistance switches: a first-principles study.

Project description:Cu/Ta2O5/Pt and Cu/SiO2/Pt are two of the most promising resistance switches. From experimental observations, it is speculated that the presence of H2O in the amorphous Ta2O5 and SiO2 (a-Ta2O5 and a-SiO2) facilitates the rate-limiting step during the switching process. This rate-limiting step is essentially the diffusion of Cu ions along the nanopores of the amorphous. To better understand this behavior and obtain a detailed examination of the atomic structures, a first-principles simulation was conducted. In addition, we investigate the diffusion behaviors of Cu ions in bare a-Ta2O5 nanopore and in the one covered with H2O-together with those in a-SiO2 nanopore. Our work reveals that Ta and Si atoms on the sidewalls of bare a-Ta2O5 and a-SiO2 nanopores are in the unsaturated (TaO5) and saturated (SiO4) forms, respectively. Consequently, H2O molecules are adsorbed on the nanopore sidewall strongly in the case of a-Ta2O5, and weakly in a-SiO2, by forming O-Ta and H???O bonds, respectively. This can explain the experimental observation that the desorption of H2O occurs only at high temperatures for a-Ta2O5 films, while it is observed for a-SiO2 even when the temperature is low. The calculated diffusion barrier of Cu ions in a-Ta2O5 nanopores covered with H2O is about 0.43 eV, which is much lower than that without H2O (~1.40 eV). In view of the similar chemical environments of O and the adsorbed Cu ions in a-SiO2 and a-Ta2O5 nanopores, it is expected that the diffusion of Cu ions in a-SiO2 nanopore without H2O is much more difficult than with H2O. This could be attributed to the strong and weak adsorption of Cu ions on the sidewall in the absence and presence of H2O, respectively, for both, a-Ta2O5 and a-SiO2. Our investigation provides a full atomic picture to understand the moisture effect on the diffusion of Cu ions in Cu/a-Ta2O5/Pt and Cu/a-SiO2/Pt resistance switches.

Can a single ammonia and water molecule enhance the formation of methanimine under tropospheric conditions?: kinetics of •CH2NH2 + O2 (+NH3/H2O).

Project description:The aminomethyl (•CH2NH2) radical is generated from the photo-oxidation of methylamine in the troposphere and is an important precursor for new particle formation. The effect of ammonia and water on the gas-phase formation of methanimine (CH2NH) from the •CH2NH2 + O2 reaction is not known. Therefore, in this study, the potential energy surfaces for •CH2NH2 + O2 (+NH3/H2O) were constructed using ab initio//DFT, i.e., coupled-cluster theory (CCSD(T))//hybrid-density functional theory, i.e., M06-2X with the 6-311++G (3df, 3pd) basis set. The Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM)/master equation (ME) simulation with Eckart's asymmetric tunneling was used to calculate the rate coefficients and branching fractions relevant to the troposphere. The results show 40% formation of CH2NH at the low-pressure (<1 bar) and 100% formation of CH2NH2OO• at the high-pressure limit (HPL) condition. When an ammonia molecule is introduced into the reaction, there is a slight increase in the formation of CH2NH; however, when a water molecule is introduced into the reaction, the increase in the formation of CH2NH was from 40% to ∼80%. The calculated rate coefficient for •CH2NH2 + O2 (+NH3) [1.9 × 10-23 cm3 molecule-1 s-1] and for CH2NH2 + O2 (+H2O) [3.3 × 10-17 cm3 molecule-1 s-1] is at least twelve and six order magnitudes smaller than those for free •CH2NH2 + O2 (2 × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 298 K) reactions, respectively. Our result is consistent with that of previous experimental and theoretical analysis and in good agreement with its isoelectronic analogous reaction. The work also provides a clear understanding of the formation of tropospheric carcinogenic compounds, i.e., hydrogen cyanide (HCN).

Hybrid Chlorides with Methylhydrazinium Cation: [CH3NH2NH2]CdCl3 and Jahn-Teller Distorted [CH3NH2NH2]CuCl3.

Project description:The synthesis, structural, phonon, optical, and magnetic properties of two hybrid organic-inorganic chlorides with monoprotonated methylhydrazinium cations (CH3NH2NH2+, MHy+), [CH3NH2NH2]CdCl3 (MHyCdCl3), and [CH3NH2NH2]CuCl3 (MHyCuCl3), are reported. In contrast to previously reported MHyMIICl3 (MII = Mn2+, Ni2+, and Co2+) analogues, neither compound undergoes phase transitions. The MHyCuCl3 has a crystal structure familiar to previous crystals composed of edge-shared 1D chains of the [CuCl5N] octahedra. MHyCuCl3 crystallizes in monoclinic P21/c symmetry with MHy+ cations directly linked to the Cu2+ ions. The MHyCdCl3 analogue crystallizes in lower triclinic symmetry with zig-zag chains of the edge-shared [CdCl6] octahedra. The absence of phase transitions is investigated and discussed. It is connected with slightly stronger hydrogen bonding between cations and the copper-chloride chains in MHyCuCl3 due to the strong Jahn-Teller effect causing the octahedra to elongate, resulting in a better fit of cations in the accessible space between chains. The absence of structural transformation in MHyCdCl3 is due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding between two neighboring MHy+ cations, which has never been reported for MHy+-based hybrid halides. Optical investigations revealed that the bandgaps in Cu2+ and Cd2+ analogues are 2.62 and 5.57 eV, respectively. Magnetic tests indicated that MHyCuCl3 has smeared antiferromagnetic ordering at 4.8 K.

NH2-MIL-125(Ti)-derived porous cages of titanium oxides to support Pt-Co alloys for chemoselective hydrogenation reactions.

Project description:The change of atom density induced structural collapse in the transformation process from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to their inorganic counterparts is a major challenge to the achievement of porous hollow structures. Herein, we develop an amino acid-mediated strategy for transformation of NH2-MIL-125(Ti) to successfully synthesize well-defined porous cages of titanium oxides (PCT) due to sheets serving as structural scaffolds. On this basis, PCT supported Pt-based nanoparticles are generated via a similar synthetic route, and are utilized to study the selective hydrogenation of carbonyl groups in α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, benefiting from the specific structures of PCT and tunable electronic structures of Pt mainly affected by doping with metal species such as Co. In this case, Pt-Co/PCT composites give 96% selectivity for cinnamyl alcohol at 100% conversion of cinnamaldehyde under 0.2 MPa H2 and 80 °C for 3 h. This research would offer a promising strategy for important organic transformations in academic and industrial research to selectively synthesize high-value-added products.

The Strange Case: The Unsymmetric Cisplatin-Based Pt(IV) Prodrug [Pt(CH3COO)Cl2(NH3)2(OH)] Exhibits Higher Cytotoxic Activity with respect to Its Symmetric Congeners due to Carrier-Mediated Cellular Uptake.

Project description:The biological behavior of the axially unsymmetric antitumor prodrug (OC-6-44)-acetatodiamminedichloridohydroxidoplatinum(IV), 2, was deeply investigated and compared with that of analogous symmetric Pt(IV) complexes, namely, dihydroxido 1 and diacetato 3, which have a similar structure. The complexes were tested on a panel of human tumor cell lines. Complex 2 showed an anomalous higher cytotoxicity (similar to that of cisplatin) with respect to their analogues 1 and 3. Their reduction potentials, reduction kinetics, lipophilicity, and membrane affinity are compared. Cellular uptake and DNA platination of Pt(IV) complexes were deeply investigated in the sensitive A2780 human ovarian cancer cell line and in the corresponding resistant A2780cisR subline. The unexpected activity of 2 appears to be related to its peculiar cellular accumulation and not to a different rate of reduction or a different efficacy in DNA platination and/or efficiency in apoptosis induction. Although the exact mechanism of cell uptake is not fully deciphered, a series of naïve experiments indicates an energy-dependent, carrier-mediated transport: the organic cation transporters (OCTs) are the likely proteins involved.

Crystal structure of [UO2(NH3)5]NO3·NH3.

Project description:Penta-ammine dioxide uranium(V) nitrate ammonia (1/1), [UO2(NH3)5]NO3·NH3, was obtained in the form of yellow crystals from the reaction of caesium uranyl nitrate, Cs[UO2(NO3)3], and uranium tetra-fluoride, UF4, in dry liquid ammonia. The [UO2]+ cation is coordinated by five ammine ligands. The resulting [UO2(NH3)5] coordination polyhedron is best described as a penta-gonal bipyramid with the O atoms forming the apices. In the crystal, numerous N-H?N and N-H?O hydrogen bonds are present between the cation, anion and solvent mol-ecules, leading to a three-dimensional network.
