Oxygen reduction on platinum electrodes in base: Theoretical study

Electrode-potential-dependent activation energies for electron transfer have been calculated using a local reaction center model and constrained variation theory for the oxygen reduction reaction on platinum in base. Results for four one-electron transfer steps are presented. For the first, O₂(ads) is predicted to be reduced to adsorbed superoxide, O₂⁻(ads), which dissociates with a low activation barrier to O(ads) + O⁻(ads). Then a proton transfer form H₂O(ads) to O⁻(ads) takes place, forming OH(ads) + OH⁻(aq). The second electron transfer reacts O(ads) with H₂O(aq) to form a second OH(ads) + OH⁻(aq). The third and fourth electron transfers react the two OH(ads) with two H₂O(aq) to form two H₂O(ads) + two OH⁻(aq). All three different surface reduction reactions are predicted to have reversible potentials in the −0.24 V(SHE) to −0.29 V(SHE) range for 0.1 M base and activation energies for the superoxide formation step are close to the experimentally observed range in 0.1 M base for the overall four-electron to water over the three low index (1 1 0) (1 0 0) and (1 1 1) surfaces: 0.38-0.49 eV at 0.35 eV respectively at 0.88 V(RHE). Predicted reversible potentials for forming O₂⁻(ads) are compared with estimates from the experimental literature. The difference between the acid mechanism, where the peroxyl radical, OOH(ads) is the first reduction intermediate, and the base mechanism, where superoxide, O₂⁻(ads) is the first reduction intermediate, is discussed.

Growth and formation mechanism of sea urchin-like ZnO nanostructures on Si

Sea urchin-like nanostructures of ZnO consisting of ZnO nanowires with blunt faceted ends were grown on Si (100) substrates by oxidation of metallic Zn at 600 °C. ZnO nanowires having a diameter of 30–60 nm and length of 2–4 Μm were in similar shape with uniform diameter along its entire length with well faceted blunt ends. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope analysis showed that the as-grown nanostructures were highly crystalline with wurtzite hexagonal structure having lattice constants of a=b=3.25 å and c=5.21 å. Room temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements showed a weak near band-edge emission at 380 nm, but a strong green emission at 500–530 nm. A model for vapor-solid (VS) growth mechanism of ZnO nanowires was presented, in which nucleation of ZnO is crucial for the growth of the nanostructures.     

Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of advanced ceramics MoSi2–HfB2–MoB

This study focuses on the investigation of the macrokinetic features of SHS (combustion synthesis) of elemental mixtures Mo–Hf–Si–B, in particular the mechanisms of structure and phase formation in the combustion front as well as the structure and properties of consolidated ceramics. Two routes for the fabrication of the composite SHS powder in system MoSi₂–HfB₂–MoB were used: (1) synthesis using Mo–Si–B and Hf–B mixtures followed by mixing of the combustion products and (2) synthesis using the four-component Mo–Hf–Si–B mixture. Dense ceramic samples with a homogeneous structure and low residual porosity (0.8–3.6%) were prepared by hot pressing of SHS powders. Although the particles size distribution and phase composition of SHS powders are similar for both synthesis routes, the structure and properties of both the composite SHS powders and hot-pressed ceramics differ considerably. Synthesis using the four-component Mo–Hf–Si–B mixture allows one to produce hierarchically ordered nanocomposite material with improved mechanical properties: hardness up to 17.6?GPa and fracture toughness up to 7.16?MPa?m^1/2.
