  • Spectroscopic study of microstructure-reducibility relation of CexZr1−xO2 solid solutions
    Applied Surface Science, 2018
    Co-Authors: Huizhi Bao, Kun Qian, Xiaoqi Chen, Jun Fang, Weixin Huang
    Abstract:

    Abstract We have successfully elucidated the microstructures of CexZr1−xO2 solid solutions prepared by co-precipitation and their relation with the reduction behaviors. X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results demonstrate that Zr(IV) occupies initially substituting Site and then Interstitial Site in cubic CeO2. The accumulation of Zr(IV) in Interstitial Site induces the gradual phase transition from cubic phase to tetragonal phase. The results of selective chemisorption of methyl orange demonstrate that the substituting-Site doping of Zr(IV) preferentially occurs in the bulk and then extends to the outmost surface. H2 temperature-programmed reduction results indicate that the substituting-Site doping of Zr(IV) mainly enhances the reducibility of Ce(IV) whereas the Interstitial-Site doping of Zr(IV) not only enhances the reducibility of Ce(IV) but also lowers the activation energy of reduction reaction. These results provide novel insights into the microstructure-reducibility relation of CexZr1−xO2 solid solutions.

  • fe doped ceo 2 solid solutions substituting Site doping versus Interstitial Site doping bulk doping versus surface doping
    Applied Surface Science, 2017
    Co-Authors: Huizhi Bao, Kun Qian, Jun Fang, Weixin Huang
    Abstract:

    Abstract Doping CeO2 cubic fluorite with transitional metal ions can effectively improve its redox behavior, oxygen storage capacity and catalytic performance, but the relevant fundamental understanding of the promotion effect is still insufficient due to the difficulty on determining the distribution of dopant. We herein demonstrate an effective approach to determine this dopant distribution by combining X-ray absorption spectroscopy and selective chemisorption. Cubic CexFe1-xO2 fluorite solid solutions (x ≥ 0.70) were prepared by co-precipitation method. With the increasing of Fe molar ratio in CexFe1-xO2, Fe3+ initially substitutes Ce4+ and/or occupy intersitial Sites with x ≥ 0.80, and then transfers to form sub-Fe2O3 structure in fluorite lattice as more Fe3+ are present; meanwhile, the Fe3+ doping initially occurs only in the bulk with x ≥ 0.96 and then extends to the surface with 0.87 ≤ x

  • single crystal epr study of mn ii doped mgrb2 so4 2 6h2o a case of Interstitial Site
    ChemInform, 2007
    Co-Authors: B Sankar, B Natarajan, S Mithira, H Anandhalakshmi, Sambasiva P Rao
    Abstract:

    Single crystal electron paramagnetic resonance studies on magnesium rubidium sulphate hexahydrate doped with Mn(II) impurity, in the form of 0.1% of manganous chloride, are carried out at room temperature. The angular variation spectra of the crystal in the three orthogonal planes show that the paramagnetic impurity Mn(II) has entered the host lattice Interstitially. The spin Hamiltonian parameters calculated are: gxx = 1.974, gyy = 1.928, gzz = 1.980; Axx = 9.28, Ayy = 8.58, Azz = 9.87 mT and Dxx = -18.71, Dyy = -5.59, Dzz = 24.30 mT. The room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature study for polycrystalline sample indicate no phase transition. The percentage covalency of Mn–O bond has been estimated to be 11.

  • single crystal epr studies of mn ii doped into zinc ammonium phosphate hexahydrate znnh4po4 6h2o a case of Interstitial Site for bio mineral analogue
    Pramana, 2004
    Co-Authors: H. Anandalakshmi, K. Velavan, I. Sougandi, Rengarajan Venkatesan, Sambasiva P Rao
    Abstract:

    Single crystal EPR studies of Mn(II)-doped zinc ammonium phosphate hexahydrate (ZnNH4PC4·6H2O) have been reinvestigated at room temperature. Single crystal rotations along the three orthogonal axes indicate that the spin Hamiltonian parameters for the Interstitial Site are:g xx = 1.966,g yy = 1.972,g zz = 1.976;D xx = -12.28 mT,D yy = -2.09 mT andD zz = 14.37 mT;A xx = 9.06 mT,A yy = 9.06 mT andA zz = 11.09 mT;a = -0.11 mT. These parameters differ considerably from the previous report of Chand and Agarwal and indicate the orthorhombic nature of the paramagnetic impurity. The impurity is found to enter the lattice Interstitially, in contrast to earlier prediction of substitutional position. The percentage covalency of the Mn-0 bond has been estimated.
