  • Flexible direct synthesis of phosphorus-rich CoP 3 on carbon black and its examination in hydrogen evolution electrocatalysis
Title: Flexible direct synthesis of phosphorus-rich CoP 3 on carbon black and its examination in hydrogen evolution electrocatalysis
The reaction of CoCl2 on carbon black with phosphorus yields crystalline CoP3 particles on a carbon.  Low CoP3 (5–25 mol%) content is distributed on the carbon support and shows electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity similar to bulk CoP3.  more » « less

    Abstract Single‐atom catalysts have demonstrated interesting activity in a variety of applications. In this study, we prepared single Co2+sites on graphitic carbon nitride (C3N4), which was doped with carbon for enhanced activity in visible‐light CO2reduction. The synthesized materials were characterized with a variety of techniques, including microscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction, UV‐vis spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy. Doping C3N4with carbon was found to have profound effect on the photocatalytic activity of the single Co2+sites. At relatively low levels, carbon doping enhanced the photoresponse of C3N4in the visible region and improved charge separation upon photoactivation, thereby enhancing the photocatalytic activity. High levels of carbon doping were found to be detrimental to the photocatalytic activity of the single Co2+sites by altering the structure of C3N4and generating defect sites responsible for charge recombination.

    Secondary‐ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is used to determine impurity concentrations of carbon and oxygen in two scandium‐containing nitride semiconductor multilayer heterostructures: ScxGa1−xN/GaN and ScxAl1−xN/AlN grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). In the ScxGa1−xN/GaN heterostructure grown in metal‐rich conditions on GaN–SiC template substrates with Sc contents up to 28 at%, the oxygen concentration is found to be below 1 × 1019 cm−3, with an increase directly correlated with the scandium content. In the ScxAl1−xN–AlN heterostructure grown in nitrogen‐rich conditions on AlN–Al2O3template substrates with Sc contents up to 26 at%, the oxygen concentration is found to be between 1019and 1021 cm−3, again directly correlated with the Sc content. The increase in oxygen and carbon takes place during the deposition of scandium‐alloyed layers.

    Reactions of carbon with a heavy main group metal (M = Sb, Bi, or Te) in an excess of lanthanum/nickel eutectic flux lead to formation of a family of carbide compounds La3MC2with a new structure type. The monoclinic structure features C24−anions octahedrally coordinated by six La3+cations, andManions surrounded by 8 La3+cations. These compounds are not charge‐balanced and lie on the border between intermetallic carbides and mixed anion salts. Density of states calculations show a pseudogap at the Fermi level for La3BiC2, which indicates that this compound is a poor metal with optimized LaBi bonding interactions.

    Abstract The identification of silicon‐substituted, complex organics carrying multiple functional groups by classical infrared spectroscopy is challenging because the group frequencies of functional groups often overlap. Photoionization (PI) reflectron time‐of‐fight mass spectrometry (ReTOF‐MS) in combination with temperature‐programmed desorption (TPD) holds certain advantages because molecules are identified after sublimation from the matrix into in the gas phase based on distinct ionization energies and sublimation temperatures. In this study, we reveal the detection of 1‐silaglycolaldehyde (HSiOCH2OH), 2‐sila‐acetic acid (H3SiCOOH), and 1,2‐disila‐acetaldehyde (H3SiSiHO)—the silicon analogues of the well‐known glycolaldehyde (HCOCH2OH), acetic acid (H3CCOOH), and acetaldehyde (H3CCHO), in the gas phase after preparation in silane (SiH4)–carbon dioxide ices exposed to energetic electrons and subliming the neutral reaction products formed within the ices into the gas phase.
