Mixed-metal phosphates K_1.64Na_0.36TiFe(PO₄)₃ and K_0.97Na_1.03Ti_1.26Fe_0.74(PO₄)₃ with a langbeinite framework.

ABSTRACT: Single crystals of the langbeinite-type phosphates K_1.65Na_0.35TiFe(PO₄)₃ and K_0.97Na_1.03Ti_1.26Fe_0.74(PO₄)₃ were grown by crystallization from high-temperature self-fluxes in the system Na₂O-K₂O-P₂O₅-TiO₂-Fe₂O₃ using fixed molar ratios of (Na+K):P = 1.0, Ti:P = 0.20 and Na:K = 1.0 or 2.0 over the temperature range 1273-953 K. The three-dimensional framework of the two isotypic phosphates are built up from [(Ti/Fe)₂(PO₄)₃] structure units containing two mixed [(Ti/Fe)O₆] octa-hedra (site symmetry 3) connected via three bridging PO₄ tetra-hedra. The potassium and sodium cations share two different sites in the structure that are located in the cavities of the framework. One of these sites has nine and the other twelve surrounding O atoms.

Project description:Polycrystalline potassium nickel(II) hafnium(IV) tris-(orthophosphate), a langbeinite-type phosphate, was synthesized by a solid-state method. The three-dimensional framework of the title compound is built up from two types of [MO6] octa-hedra [the M sites are occupied by Hf:Ni in ratios of 0.754 (8):0.246 (8) and 0.746 (8):0.254 (8), respectively] and [PO4] tetra-hedra are connected via O vertices. The K+ cations are located in two positions within large cavities of the framework, having coordination numbers of 9 and 12. The Hf, Ni and K sites lie on threefold rotation axes, while the P and O atoms are situated in general positions.

A new langbeinite-type phosphate: K(2)AlSn(PO(4))(3).

Project description:Single crystals of the title compound, dipotassium aluminium tin(IV) tris-[phosphate(V)], K(2)AlSn(PO(4))(3), were synthesized by a high temperature reaction in a platinum crucible. In the structure, the Al(III) and Sn(IV) atoms occupy the same site on a threefold rotation axis with occupational disorder in a 1:1 ratio. In the three-dimensional structure, Al/SnO(6) octa-hedra and PO(4) tetra-hedra are inter-connected via their vertices, yielding a [Al/SnP(3)O(12)](n) framework. The K atoms (site symmetry 3) reside in the large cavities delimited by the [Al/SnP(3)O(12)](n) framework, and are surrounded by 12 O atoms.

Ablation-resistant carbide Zr0.8Ti0.2C0.74B0.26 for oxidizing environments up to 3,000?°C.

Project description:Ultra-high temperature ceramics are desirable for applications in the hypersonic vehicle, rockets, re-entry spacecraft and defence sectors, but few materials can currently satisfy the associated high temperature ablation requirements. Here we design and fabricate a carbide (Zr0.8Ti0.2C0.74B0.26) coating by reactive melt infiltration and pack cementation onto a C/C composite. It displays superior ablation resistance at temperatures from 2,000-3,000?°C, compared to existing ultra-high temperature ceramics (for example, a rate of material loss over 12 times better than conventional zirconium carbide at 2,500?°C). The carbide is a substitutional solid solution of Zr-Ti containing carbon vacancies that are randomly occupied by boron atoms. The sealing ability of the ceramic's oxides, slow oxygen diffusion and a dense and gradient distribution of ceramic result in much slower loss of protective oxide layers formed during ablation than other ceramic systems, leading to the superior ablation resistance.

Giant Negative Electrocaloric Effect in Anti-Ferroelectric (Pb0.97La0.02)(Zr0.95Ti0.05)O3 Ceramics.

Project description:A giant electrocaloric effect is reported in (Pb0.97La0.02)(Zr0.95Ti0.05)O3 anti-ferroelectric ceramics. These samples were fabricated by a solid-state mixed oxide technique. Dielectric analyses were employed to investigate the anti-ferroelectric (AFE) and ferroelectric (FE) phase transitions of the sample. During the heating process, the phase transition from the orthorhombic anti-ferroelectric phase (AFEO) to the tetragonal anti-ferroelectric phase (AFET) occurs at 155 °C, and the phase transition from AFET to PE occurs at 225 °C. Using the Maxwell relationship, the entropy change ?S and adiabatic temperature change ?T were obtained at different electric fields ranging from 40 to 65 kV/cm. The maximum adiabatic temperature change (?T max = -7.47 K) was obtained at 50 kV/cm, which was attributed to the field-induced phase transformation between the anti-ferroelectric and ferroelectric phases. These results showed that PLZT2/95/5 ceramics possess a large negative electrocaloric effect value, which could be applied in achieving cooling power as refrigerants.

Three new acid M+ arsenates and phosphates with multiply protonated As/PO4 groups.

Project description:The crystal structures of caesium dihydrogen arsenate(V) bis[trihydrogen arsenate(V)], Cs(H2AsO4)(H3AsO4)2, ammonium dihydrogen arsenate(V) trihydrogen arsenate(V), NH4(H2AsO4)(H3AsO4), and dilithium bis(dihydrogen phosphate), Li2(H2PO4)2, were solved from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. NH4(H2AsO4)(H3AsO4), which was hydrothermally synthesized (T = 493 K), is homeotypic with Rb(H2AsO4)(H3AsO4), while Cs(H2AsO4)(H3AsO4)2 crystallizes in a novel structure type and Li2(H2PO4)2 represents a new polymorph of this composition. The Cs and Li compounds grew at room temperature from highly acidic aqueous solutions. Li2(H2PO4)2 forms a three-dimensional (3D) framework of PO4 tetrahedra sharing corners with Li2O6 dimers built of edge-sharing LiO4 groups, which is reinforced by hydrogen bonds. The two arsenate compounds are characterized by a 3D network of AsO4 groups that are connected solely via multiple strong hydrogen bonds. A statistical evaluation of the As-O bond lengths in singly, doubly and triply protonated AsO4 groups gave average values of 1.70 (2) Å for 199 As-OH bonds, 1.728 (19) Å for As-OH bonds in HAsO4 groups, 1.714 (12) Å for As-OH bonds in H2AsO4 groups and 1.694 (16) Å for As-OH bonds in H3AsO4 groups, and a grand mean value of 1.667 (18) Å for As-O bonds to nonprotonated O atoms.

Immune response of human cultured cells towards macrocyclic Fe2PO and Fe2PC bioactive cyclophane complexes.

Project description:Synthetic molecules that mimic the function of natural enzymes or molecules have untapped potential for use in the next generation of drugs. Cyclic compounds that contain aromatic rings are macrocyclic cyclophanes, and when they coordinate iron ions are of particular interest due to their antioxidant and biomimetic properties. However, little is known about the molecular responses at the cellular level. This study aims to evaluate the changes in immune gene expression in human cells exposed to the cyclophanes Fe2PO and Fe2PC. Confluent human embryonic kidney cells were exposed to either the cyclophane Fe2PO or Fe2PC before extraction of RNA. The expression of a panel of innate and adaptive immune genes was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. Evidence was found for an inflammatory response elicited by the cyclophane exposures. After 8 h of exposure, the cells increased the relative expression of inflammatory mediators such as interleukin 1; IRAK, which transduces signals between interleukin 1 receptors and the NF?B pathway; and the LPS pattern recognition receptor CD14. After 24 h of exposure, regulatory genes begin to counter the inflammation, as some genes involved in oxidative stress, apoptosis and non-inflammatory immune responses come into play. Both Fe2PO and Fe2PC induced similar immunogenetic changes in transcription profiles, but equal molar doses of Fe2PC resulted in more robust responses. These data suggest that further work in whole animal models may provide more insights into the extent of systemic physiological changes induced by these cyclophanes.

Peculiarities of Phase Formation in Mn-Based Na SuperIonic Conductor (NaSICon) Systems: The Case of Na1+2x Mn x Ti2-x (PO4)3 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.5).

Project description:NAtrium SuperIonic CONductor (NASICON) structured phosphate framework compounds are attracting a great deal of interest as suitable electrode materials for "rocking chair" type batteries. Manganese-based electrode materials are among the most favored due to their superior stability, resource non-criticality, and high electrode potentials. Although a large share of research was devoted to Mn-based oxides for Li- and Na-ion batteries, the understanding of thermodynamics and phase formation in Mn-rich polyanions is still generally lacking. In this study, we investigate a bifunctional Na-ion battery electrode system based on NASICON-structured Na1+2x Mn x Ti2-x (PO4)3 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.5). In order to analyze the thermodynamic and phase formation properties, we construct a composition-temperature phase diagram using a computational sampling by density functional theory, cluster expansion, and semi-grand canonical Monte Carlo methods. The results indicate finite thermodynamic limits of possible Mn concentrations in this system, which are primarily determined by the phase separation into stoichiometric Na3MnTi(PO4)3 (x = 1.0) and NaTi2(PO4)3 for x < 1.0 or NaMnPO4 for x > 1.0. The theoretical predictions are corroborated by experiments obtained using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy on solid-state and sol-gel prepared samples. The results confirm that this system does not show a solid solution type behavior but phase-separates into thermodynamically more stable sodium ordered monoclinic α-Na3MnTi(PO4)3 (space group C2) and other phases. In addition to sodium ordering, the anti-bonding character of the Mn-O bond as compared to Ti-O is suggested as another important factor governing the stability of Mn-based NASICONs. We believe that these results will not only clarify some important questions regarding the thermodynamic properties of NASICON frameworks but will also be helpful for a more general understanding of polyanionic systems.

Design and Synthesis of Layered Na2Ti3O7 and Tunnel Na2Ti6O13 Hybrid Structures with Enhanced Electrochemical Behavior for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:A novel complementary approach for promising anode materials is proposed. Sodium titanates with layered Na2Ti3O7 and tunnel Na2Ti6O13 hybrid structure are presented, fabricated, and characterized. The hybrid sample exhibits excellent cycling stability and superior rate performance by the inhibition of layered phase transformation and synergetic effect. The structural evolution, reaction mechanism, and reaction dynamics of hybrid electrodes during the sodium insertion/desertion process are carefully investigated. In situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SXRD) characterization is performed and the result indicates that Na+ inserts into tunnel structure with occurring solid solution reaction and intercalates into Na2Ti3O7 structure with appearing a phase transition in a low voltage. The reaction dynamics reveals that sodium ion diffusion of tunnel Na2Ti6O13 is faster than that of layered Na2Ti3O7. The synergetic complementary properties are significantly conductive to enhance electrochemical behavior of hybrid structure. This study provides a promising candidate anode for advanced sodium ion batteries (SIBs).

Superconductivity in a 122-type Fe-based compound (La,Na,K)Fe2As2.

Project description:We synthesized a Fe-based superconductor (FeSC), (La,Na,K)Fe2As2, and characterized its superconducting properties. It was found that (La,Na,K)Fe2As2 has a 122-type (ThCr2Si2-type) structure with a space group I4/mmm (No. 139), identical to (Ba,K)Fe2As2 and (La,Na)Fe2As2 but distinct from so-called 1144-type FeSCs such as CaKFe4As4 and (La,Na)CsFe4As4. The results demonstrate that the formation of the 1144-type phase necessitates the large ionic radius mismatch among the so-called A-site constituent elements of the AFe2As2 formula. The lattice constants are a = 3.850(1) Å and c = 13.21(1) Å. The La, Na, and K ions occupy the same atomic site of Wyckoff position 1a. Electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility show the superconducting transition at 22.5 K. The transition temperature (Tc) of (La,Na,K)Fe2As2 is comparable with that of 122-type (La,Na)Fe2As2 and 1144-type (La,Na)AFe4As4 (A = Rb, Cs), while being more than 10 K lower than those of typical 122- and 1144-type FeSCs. The results suggest that the random distribution of La3+ and Na+ ions is the main reason for lower Tc in the AE = (La,Na) 122-type and 1144-type FeSCs.
