Crystalline polymeric carbon dioxide stable at megabar pressures.

ABSTRACT: Carbon dioxide is a widespread simple molecule in the Universe. In spite of its simplicity it has a very complex phase diagram, forming both amorphous and crystalline extended phases above 40?GPa. The stability range and nature of these phases are still debated, especially in view of their possible role within the deep carbon cycle. Here, we report static synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Raman high-pressure experiments in the megabar range providing evidence for the stability of the polymeric phase V at pressure-temperature conditions relevant to the Earth's lowermost mantle. The equation of state has been extended to 120?GPa and, contrary to earlier experimental findings, neither dissociation into diamond and ?-oxygen nor ionization was observed. Severe deviatoric stress and lattice deformation along with preferred orientation are removed on progressive annealing, thus suggesting CO2-V as the stable structure also above one megabar.

High-pressure polymeric phases of carbon dioxide.

Project description:Understanding the structural transformations of solid CO(2) from a molecular solid characterized by weak intermolecular bonding to a 3-dimensional network solid at high pressure has challenged researchers for the past decade. We employ the recently developed metadynamics method combined with ab initio calculations to provide fundamental insight into recent experimental reports on carbon dioxide in the 60-80 GPa pressure region. Pressure-induced polymeric phases and their transformation mechanisms are found. Metadynamics simulations starting from the CO(2)-II (P4(2)/mnm) at 60 GPa and 600 K proceed via an intermediate, partially polymerized phase, and finally yield a fully tetrahedral, layered structure (P-4m2). Based on the agreement between calculated and experimental Raman and X-ray patterns, the recently identified phase VI [Iota V, et al. (2007) Sixfold coordinated carbon dioxide VI. Nature Mat 6:34-38], assumed to be disordered stishovite-like, is instead interpreted as the result of an incomplete transformation of the molecular phase into a final layered structure. In addition, an alpha-cristobalite-like structure (P4(1)2(1)2), is predicted to be formed from CO(2)-III (Cmca) via an intermediate Pbca structure at 80 GPa and low temperatures (<300 K). Defects in the crystals are frequently observed in the calculations at 300 K whereas at 500 to 700 K, CO(2)-III transforms to an amorphous form, consistent with experiment [Santoro M, et al. (2006) Amorphous silica-like carbon dioxide. Nature 441:857-860], but the simulation yields additional structural details for this disordered solid.

Oxidation-stable amine-containing adsorbents for carbon dioxide capture.

Project description:Amine-containing solids have been investigated as promising adsorbents for CO2 capture, but the low oxidative stability of amines has been the biggest hurdle for their practical applications. Here, we developed an extra-stable adsorbent by combining two strategies. First, poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) was functionalized with 1,2-epoxybutane, which generates tethered 2-hydroxybutyl groups. Second, chelators were pre-supported onto a silica support to poison p.p.m.-level metal impurities (Fe and Cu) that catalyse amine oxidation. The combination of these strategies led to remarkable synergy, and the resultant adsorbent showed a minor loss of CO2 working capacity (8.5%) even after 30 days aging in O2-containing flue gas at 110 °C. This corresponds to a ~50 times slower deactivation rate than a conventional PEI/silica, which shows a complete loss of CO2 uptake capacity after the same treatment. The unprecedentedly high oxidative stability may represent an important breakthrough for the commercial implementation of these adsorbents.

A stable covalent organic framework for photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction.

Project description:Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into fuels is an important challenge for clean energy research and has attracted considerable interest. Here we show that tethering molecular catalysts-a rhenium complex, [Re(bpy)(CO)3Cl]-together in the form of a crystalline covalent organic framework (COF) affords a heterogeneous photocatalyst with a strong visible light absorption, a high CO2 binding affinity, and ultimately an improved catalytic performance over its homogeneous Re counterpart. The COF incorporates bipyridine sites, allowing for ligation of the Re complex, into a fully π-conjugated backbone that is chemically robust and promotes light-harvesting. A maximum rate of 1040 μmol g-1 h-1 for CO production with 81% selectivity was measured. CO production rates were further increased up to 1400 μmol g-1 h-1, with an improved selectivity of 86%, when a photosensitizer was added. Addition of platinum resulted in production of syngas, hence, the co-formation of H2 and CO, the chemical composition of which could be adjusted by varying the ratio of COF to platinum. An amorphous analog of the COF showed significantly lower CO production rates, suggesting that crystallinity of the COF is beneficial to its photocatalytic performance in CO2 reduction.

Predicting finite-temperature properties of crystalline carbon dioxide from first principles with quantitative accuracy.

Project description:Molecular crystal structures, thermodynamics, and mechanical properties can vary substantially with temperature, and predicting these temperature-dependencies correctly is important for many practical applications in the pharmaceutical industry and other fields. However, most electronic structure predictions of molecular crystal properties neglect temperature and/or thermal expansion, leading to potentially erroneous results. Here, we demonstrate that by combining large basis set second-order Møller-Plesset (MP2) or even coupled cluster singles, doubles, and perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) electronic structure calculations with a quasiharmonic treatment of thermal expansion, experimentally observable properties such as the unit cell volume, heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy, sublimation point and bulk modulus of phase I crystalline carbon dioxide can be predicted in excellent agreement with experiment over a broad range of temperatures. These results point toward a promising future for ab initio prediction of molecular crystal properties at real-world temperatures and pressures.

Effects of time delay and body temperature on measurements of central venous oxygen saturation, venous-arterial blood carbon dioxide partial pressures difference, venous-arterial blood carbon dioxide partial pressures difference/arterial-venous oxygen difference ratio and lactate.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), venous-arterial blood carbon dioxide partial pressures difference (Pv-aCO2), venous-arterial blood carbon dioxide partial pressures difference/arterial-venous oxygen difference ratio (Pv-aCO2/Ca-vO2) and lactate are important parameters employed during shock resuscitation. We designed this study to confirm the effects of time delay and body temperature on measurements of these four parameters. METHODS:Arterial and central venous blood samples were simultaneously drawn by plastic syringes via indwelling intra-arterial and central venous catheters from critically ill patients. Blood gas analyses were performed on both samples and repeated after 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60?min. Patients were divided into a control group and a high temperature group according to whether the body temperature was greater than 38?°C. RESULTS:A total of 30 critically ill patients were enrolled. There was a trend of increasing values for ScvO2, Pv-aCO2, Pv-aCO2/Ca-vO2 and lactate over time (P?<?0.001). The ScvO2 differences were all lower in high temperature group after 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60?min when compared to the corresponding differences in the control group (P?<?0.05). The differences in lactate values were slightly higher in the high temperature group, relative to the control group after 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60?min (P?<?0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Measurements of ScvO2, Pv-aCO2, lactate and Pv-aCO2/Ca-vO2 were affected by time delay or body temperature. We recommend that arterial and central venous blood gas samples be analyzed quickly within 10?min, especially for patients with body temperature <38?°C. TRIAL REGISTRATION:ChiCTR, ChiCTR1800014484 .

Formic Acid Formation by <i>Clostridium ljungdahlii</i> at Elevated Pressures of Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen.

Project description:Low productivities of bioprocesses using gaseous carbon and energy sources are usually caused by the low solubility of those gases (e.g., H2 and CO). It has been suggested that increasing the partial pressure of those gases will result in higher dissolved concentrations and should, therefore, be helpful to overcome this obstacle. Investigations of the late 1980s with mixtures of hydrogen and carbon monoxide showed inhibitory effects of carbon monoxide partial pressures above 0.8?bar. Avoiding any effects of carbon monoxide, we investigate growth and product formation of Clostridium ljungdahlii at absolute process pressures of 1, 4, and 7?bar in batch stirred tank reactor cultivations with carbon dioxide and hydrogen as sole gaseous carbon and energy source. With increasing process pressure, the product spectrum shifts from mainly acetic acid and ethanol to almost only formic acid at a total system pressure of 7?bar. On the other hand, no significant changes in overall product yield can be observed. By keeping the amount of substance flow rate constant instead of the volumetric gas feed rate when increasing the process pressure, we increased the overall product yield of 7.5 times of what has been previously reported in the literature. After 90?h of cultivation at a total pressure of 7?bar a total of 4?g L-1 of products is produced consisting of 82.7?% formic acid, 15.6?% acetic acid, and 1.7?% ethanol.

Highly Crystalline K-Intercalated Polymeric Carbon Nitride for Visible-Light Photocatalytic Alkenes and Alkynes Deuterations.

Project description:In addition to the significance of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, the utilization of the in situ generated H/D (deuterium) active species from water splitting for artificial photosynthesis of high value-added chemicals is very attractive and promising. Herein, photocatalytic water splitting technology is utilized to generate D-active species (i.e., Dad) that can be stabilized on anchored 2nd metal catalyst and are readily for tandem controllable deuterations of carbon-carbon multibonds to produce high value-added D-labeled chemicals/pharmaceuticals. A highly crystalline K cations intercalated polymeric carbon nitride (KPCN), rationally designed, and fabricated by a solid-template induced growth, is served as an ultraefficient photocatalyst, which shows a greater than 18-fold enhancement in the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution over the bulk PCN. The photocatalytic in situ generated D-species by superior KPCN are utilized for selective deuteration of a variety of alkenes and alkynes by anchored 2nd catalyst, Pd nanoparticles, to produce the corresponding D-labeled chemicals and pharmaceuticals with high yields and D-incorporation. This work highlights the great potential of developing photocatalytic water splitting technology for artificial photosynthesis of value-added chemicals instead of H2 evolution.

Layered polymeric nitrogen in RbN3 at high pressures.

Project description:The structural evolutionary behaviors of nitrogen in RbN3 have been studied up to 300 GPa using a particle swarm optimization structure searching method combined with density functional calculations. Three stable new phases with P-1, P6/mmm and C2/m structure at pressure of 30, 50 and 200 GPa are identified for the first time. The analysis of the crystal structures of three new predicated phases reveals that the transition of N3- ions goes from linear molecules to polymeric chains, benzene-like rings and then to polymeric layers induced by pressure. The electronic structures of three predicted phases reveal that the structural changes are accompanied and driven by the change of orbital hybridization of N atoms from sp to sp(2) and finally to partial sp(3). Most interestingly, the Rb atoms show obvious transition metal-like properties through the occupation of 4d orbitals in high-pressure phases. Moreover, the Rb atoms are characterized by strong hybridization between 4d orbitals of Rb and 2p orbitals of N in C2/m structure. Our studies complete the structural evolution of RbN3 under pressure and reveal for the first time that the Rb atoms in rubidium nitride possess transition element-like properties under pressure.

Cyclic two-step electrolysis for stable electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide to formate.

Project description:Pd metal and Pd-based alloys are ideal catalysts that allow for the electrochemical conversion of CO2 to HCOO- at almost zero-overpotential with high selectivity, but catalyst degradation caused by concurrent CO poisoning limits their practical implementation. Here, we demonstrate that cyclic two-step electrolysis, by applying the reduction and oxidation potentials alternately, achieves 100% current density stability and 97.8% selectivity toward HCOO- production for at least 45 h. The key idea for achieving the reliability is based on the selective removal of CO by controlling the parameters during the oxidation step, which utilizes the different reversibility of HCOO- and CO production reactions. Furthermore, it is found that potentiostatic electrolysis causes CO adsorption and subsequent dehydridation, which in turn lowers HCOO- selectivity. Our work provides a system-level strategy for solving the poisoning issue that is inevitable in many electrocatalytic reactions.
