Core-Shell Fe₂O₃@La_1-xSr_xFeO_3-δ Material for Catalytic Oxidations: Coverage of Iron Oxide Core, Oxygen Storage Capacity and Reactivity of Surface Oxygens.

ABSTRACT: A series of Fe₂O₃@LSF (La_0.8Sr_0.2FeO_3-δ perovskite) core-shell materials (CSM) was prepared by infiltration of LSF precursors gel containing various complexants and their mixtures to nanocrystalline aggregates of hematite followed by thermal treatment. The content of LSF phase and amount of carboxyl groups in complexant determine the percent coverage of iron oxide core with the LSF shell. The most conformal coating core-shell material was prepared with citric acid as the complexant, contained 60 wt% LSF with 98% core coverage. The morphology of the CSM was studied by HRTEM-EELS combined with SEM-FIB for particles cross-sections. The reactivity of surface oxygen species and their amounts were determined by H₂-TPR, TGA-DTG, the oxidation state of surface oxygen ions by XPS. It was found that at complete core coverage with perovskite shell, the distribution of surface oxygen species according to redox reactivity in CSM resemble pure LSF, but its lattice oxygen storage capacity is 2-2.5 times higher. At partial coverage, the distribution of surface oxygen species according to redox reactivity resembles that in iron oxide.

VOx/Fe2O3 Shell-Core Catalysts for the Selective Oxidation of Methanol to Formaldehyde.

Project description:Efficient oxidation catalysts are important in many current industrial processes, including the selective oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde. Vanadium-containing catalysts have been shown to be effective selective oxidation catalysts for certain reactions, and research continues to examine their applicability to other reactions of interest. Several VOx/Fe2O3 shell-core catalysts with varying VOx coverage have been produced to investigate the stability of VOx monolayers and their selectivity for methanol oxidation. Catalyst formation proceeds via a clear progression of distinct surface species produced during catalyst calcination. At 300 °C the selective VOx overlayer has formed; by 500 °C a sandwich layer of FeVO4 arises between the VOx shell and the Fe2O3 core, inhibiting iron cation participation in the catalysis and enhancing catalyst selectivity. The resulting catalysts, comprising a shell-subshell-core system of VOx/FeVO4/Fe2O3, possess good catalytic activity and selectivity to formaldehyde.

Core-Double-Shell Fe2O3@SiO2@Jarosite Hybrid Nanoparticles Synthesized by Laser Ablation of Turquoise in Ethanol.

Project description:This work highlights a facile green route for the one-step synthesis of iron oxide core-double-shell nanoparticles (NPs) and aluminum phosphide (AlP) nanosheets by pulsed laser ablation of the mineral turquoise target from Nishapur in the presence of an ethanol solvent. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, selected-area electron diffraction pattern, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) in combination with energy-dispersive X-ray mapping revealed the formation of NPs with a typical core@double-shell structure in which crystalline ?-Fe2O3 (iron oxide) formed the core, while SiO2 (quartz) and (K, H3O)Fe3(SO4)2(OH6) (jarosite) participated as the inner and outer shell, respectively. However, the application of laser ablation on the turquoise phase of the target led to the formation of AlP nanosheets which was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction patterns and FESEM images. Strong absorption of the vein-ablated species in the UV region (250-360 nm) was the characteristic feature of ?-Fe2O3 and jarosite phases, while the absorption band at 250-300 nm for the turquoise-ablated species was related to the presence of Cu compound species and also the ?-Fe2O3 phase in the sample. Photoluminescence emission spectra for the vein-ablated species depicted a peak centered at 370 nm, while a peak located at 364 nm was ascribed to the turquoise-ablated species. In particular, these hybrid NPs with high purity and stability may offer new opportunities for bio-applications such as anticancer agents and water/wastewater applications.

Pre-stressing micron-scale aluminum core-shell particles to improve reactivity.

Project description:The main direction in increasing reactivity of aluminum (Al) particles for energetic applications is reduction in their size down to nanoscale. However, Al nanoparticles are 30-50 times more expensive than micron scale particles and possess safety and environmental issues. Here, we improved reactivity of Al micron scale particles by synthesizing pre-stressed core-shell structures. Al particles were annealed and quenched to induce compressive stresses in the alumina passivation shell surrounding Al core. This thermal treatment was designed based on predictions of the melt-dispersion mechanism (MDM); a theory describing Al particle reaction under high heating rate. For all anneal treatment temperatures, experimental flame propagation rates for Al combined with nanoscale copper oxide (CuO) are in quantitative agreement with the theoretical predictions based on the MDM. The best treatment increases flame rate by 36% and achieves 68% of that for the best Al nanoparticles.

Structural and Optical Properties of La1-xSrxTiO3+δ.

Project description:La1-xSrxTiO3+δ has attracted much attention as an important perovskite oxide. However, there are rare reports on its optical properties, especially reflectivity. In this paper, its structural and optical properties were studied. The X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and spectrophotometer were used to characterize the sample. The results show that with increasing Sr concentration, the number of TiO₆ octahedral layers in each "slab" increases and the crystal structure changes from layered to cubic structure. A proper Sr doping (x = 0.1) can increase the reflectivity, reaching 95% in the near infrared range, which is comparable with metal Al measured in the same condition. This indicates its potential applications as optical protective coatings or anti-radiation materials at high temperatures.

Facile One-pot Transformation of Iron Oxides from Fe2O3 Nanoparticles to Nanostructured Fe3O4@C Core-Shell Composites via Combustion Waves.

Project description:The development of a low-cost, fast, and large-scale process for the synthesis and manipulation of nanostructured metal oxides is essential for incorporating materials with diverse practical applications. Herein, we present a facile one-pot synthesis method using combustion waves that simultaneously achieves fast reduction and direct formation of carbon coating layers on metal oxide nanostructures. Hybrid composites of Fe2O3 nanoparticles and nitrocellulose on the cm scale were fabricated by a wet impregnation process. We demonstrated that self-propagating combustion waves along interfacial boundaries between the surface of the metal oxide and the chemical fuels enabled the release of oxygen from Fe2O3. This accelerated reaction directly transformed Fe2O3 into Fe3O4 nanostructures. The distinctive color change from reddish-brown Fe2O3 to dark-gray Fe3O4 confirmed the transition of oxidation states and the change in the fundamental properties of the material. Furthermore, it simultaneously formed carbon layers of 5-20 nm thickness coating the surfaces of the resulting Fe3O4 nanoparticles, which may aid in maintaining the nanostructures and improving the conductivity of the composites. This newly developed use of combustion waves in hybridized nanostructures may permit the precise manipulation of the chemical compositions of other metal oxide nanostructures, as well as the formation of organic/inorganic hybrid nanostructures.

Fabrication of a TiO2/Fe2O3 Core/Shell Nanostructure by Pulse Laser Deposition toward Stable and Visible Light Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting.

Project description:Here, we report the fabrication of TiO2/Fe2O3 core/shell heterojunction nanorod arrays by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) process and their further use as photoelectrodes toward high-performance visible light photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. The morphology, phase, and carrier conduction mechanism of plain TiO2 and TiO2/Fe2O3 core/shell nanostructure were systematically investigated. PEC measurements show that the TiO2/Fe2O3 core/shell nanostructure enhances photocurrent density by nearly 2 times than the plain ones, increases visible light absorption from 400 to 550 nm, raises the on/off separation rate, and delivers high stability with only a 3% decrease of current density for tests of even more than 14 days. This work provides a method to design an efficient nanostructure by combination of a facile hydrothermal process and high-quality PLD process to fabricate a clean surface and excellent crystallinity for charge separation, transfer, and collection toward enhanced PEC properties.

Controllable Synthesis of TiO2@Fe2O3 Core-Shell Nanotube Arrays with Double-Wall Coating as Superb Lithium-Ion Battery Anodes.

Project description:Highlighted by the safe operation and stable performances, titanium oxides (TiO2) are deemed as promising candidates for next generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the pervasively low capacity is casting shadow on desirable electrochemical behaviors and obscuring their practical applications. In this work, we reported a unique template-assisted and two-step atomic layer deposition (ALD) method to achieve TiO2@Fe2O3 core-shell nanotube arrays with hollow interior and double-wall coating. The as-prepared architecture combines both merits of the high specific capacity of Fe2O3 and structural stability of TiO2 backbone. Owing to the nanotubular structural advantages integrating facile strain relaxation as well as rapid ion and electron transport, the TiO2@Fe2O3 nanotube arrays with a high mass loading of Fe2O3 attained desirable capacity of ~520?mA?h g-1, exhibiting both good rate capability under uprated current density of 10?A?g-1 and especially enhanced cycle stability (~450?mA?h g-1 after 600 cycles), outclassing most reported TiO2@metal oxide composites. The results not only provide a new avenue for hybrid core-shell nanotube formation, but also offer an insight for rational design of advanced electrode materials for LIBs.

Photocatalytic Degradation of Tetracycline by ZnO/γ-Fe2O3 Paramagnetic Nanocomposite Material.

Project description:In recent years, the presence of numerous xenobiotic substances, such as antibiotics, has been detected in water environments. They can be considered as environmental contaminants, even if their effect on human health has yet to be totally understood. Several approaches have been studied for the removal of these kinds of pollutants. Among these compounds, tetracycline (TC), a broad-spectrum antibiotic, is one of the most commonly found in water due to its widespread use. In the context of reducing the presence of TC in aqueous solution, in this contribution, a composite catalyst based on zinc oxide (ZnO) and iron oxide (γ-Fe2O3) was developed and its photocatalytic properties were investigated. The catalytic materials were synthesized by a microwave-assisted aqueous solution method and characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. The TC concentration was evaluated by spectrophotometer measurements at specific time intervals. The performed photocatalytic experiments clearly demonstrated that the ZnO/γ-Fe2O3 composite catalyst presents significant photocatalytic activity, indeed a TC degradation efficiency of 88.52% was registered after 150 min. The presence of iron oxide in the structure of the catalyst enhances both the surface area and the pore volume, facilitating the adsorption of the analyte on the surface of nanostructures, a fundamental phase to optimize a photodegradation process. Moreover, ZnO was found to play the key role in the photocatalytic process assisted by γ-Fe2O3 which enhanced the TC degradation efficiency by 20%.

Silicone/Ag@SiO<sub>2</sub> core-shell nanocomposite as a self-cleaning antifouling coating material.

Project description:The effects of Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanofiller dispersion and micro-nano binary structure on the self-cleaning and fouling release (FR) in the modelled silicone nano-paints were studied. An ultrahydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane/Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanocomposite was prepared as an antifouling coating material. Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanospheres with 60 nm average size and a preferential {111} growth direction were prepared via a facile solvothermal and a modified Stöber methods with a controlled shell thickness. Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanofillers were inserted in the silicone composite surface via solution casting technique. A simple hydrosilation curing mechanism was used to cure the surface coating. Different concentrations of nanofillers were incorporated in the PDMS matrix for studying the structure-property relationship. Water contact angle (WCA) and surface free energy determinations as well as atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscope were used to investigate the surface self-cleaning properties of the nanocomposites. Mechanical and physical properties were assessed as durability parameters. A comparable study was carried out between silicone/spherical Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanocomposites and other commercial FR coatings. Selected micro-foulants were used for biological and antifouling assessments up to 28 days. Well-distributed Ag@SiO2 core-shell (0.5 wt%) exhibited the preferable self-cleaning with WCA of 156° and surface free energy of 11.15 mN m-1.

A Triazole-Substituted Aryl Iodide with Omnipotent Reactivity in Enantioselective Oxidations.

Project description:A widely applicable triazole-substituted chiral aryl iodide is described as catalyst for enantioselective oxidation reactions. The introduction of a substituent in ortho-position to the iodide is key for its high reactivity and selectivity. Besides a robust and modular synthesis, the main advantage of this catalyst is the excellent performance in a plethora of mechanistically diverse enantioselective transformations, such as spirocyclizations, phenol dearomatizations, α-oxygenations, and oxidative rearrangements. DFT-calculations of in situ generated [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]arene isomers give an initial rational for the observed reactivity.
