天然半导体矿物由于成分、缺陷复杂,传统测试方法如紫外可见漫反射等难以准确测定其禁带宽度.本文以针铁矿为例,通过第一性原理计算得到纯针铁矿及掺Al针铁矿的电子结构.计算结果显示,纯针铁矿导带底与价带顶均由Fe3d与O2p轨道组成,而当含杂质Al时,Al2p与O2p发生杂化参与了价带组成.在此基础上,利用同步辐射X射线氧的K边吸收谱与发射谱对纯针铁矿及天然针铁矿的能带结构进行了测定.结果表明,天然含Al的针铁矿禁带宽度为2.30eV,小于纯针铁矿(2.57eV).本研究提供了一种测定天然氧化物矿物禁带宽度的新方法,为深入研究天然半导体可见光催化活性产生机制提供了理论依据.

掺Fe和V的金红石电子结构的第一性原理计算研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算方法,对掺杂Fe和(或)V的金红石型TiO2的电子结构进行了计算。理论模拟的结果表明,纯金红石的禁带宽度为1.98 eV;Fe掺杂金红石型TiO2的禁带宽度为2.18 eV,由Fe3d和O2p轨道杂化在禁带中间形成了两条杂质能级;V掺杂金红石型TiO2的禁带宽度减小为1.80 eV,由V3d和O2p轨道杂化形成的杂质能级位于金红石的导带底,引入了一个浅施主能级;Fe和V共掺杂的金红石禁带中存在一个较宽的杂质能带,禁带宽度减小为1.73 eV。杂质能级的出现以及禁带宽度的减小使得Fe和V掺杂的金红石具有更好的可见光响应能力。同时,Fe和V的类质同像替代使得金红石中MO6八面体具有较大的畸变程度,有助于表面缺陷的增加,从而为光催化反应提供天然活性位。为进一步深入揭示含铁、钒等杂质的天然金红石的可见光催化机制提供了理论支持。     

Impact of iron sulfide transformation on trichloroethylene degradation

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is one of the most common and persistent groundwater contaminants encountered at hazardous waste sites around the world. A growing body of evidence indicates that iron sulfides play an important role in degrading TCE in natural environments and in engineered systems designed for groundwater cleanup. In this study, we investigate transformation processes of iron sulfides and consequent impacts on TCE degradation using batch experimental techniques, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Our results show that mackinawite is highly reactive toward TCE and no detectable mineralogical changes were detected during the course of reaction. However, freeze-dried FeS transformed to a mixture of mackinawite and greigite during the freeze drying process, with further mineralogical changes during reaction with TCE to lepidocrocite, goethite and pyrite. Newly formed lepidocrocite is a transient phase, with conversion to goethite over time. TCE transformation kinetics show that freeze-dried FeS is 20-50 times less reactive in degrading TCE than non-freeze-dried FeS, and the TCE degradation rate increases with pH (from 5.4 to 8.3), possibly due to an increase of surface deprotonation or electron transfer at higher pH. Results suggest that freeze drying could cause FeS particle aggregation, decreased surface area and availability of reactive sites; it also could change FeS mineralogy and accelerate mineral transformation. These aspects could contribute to the lower reactivity of freeze-dried FeS toward TCE degradation. Modeling results show that FeS transformation in natural environments depends on specific biogeochemical conditions, and natural FeS transformation may affect mineral reactivity in a similar way as compared to the freeze drying process. Rapid transformation of FeS to FeS₂ could significantly slow down TCE degradation in both natural and engineered systems.     

X-ray absorption contrast images of binary chemical reactions

Low-divergence synchrotron-sourced X-rays enable a radiographic imaging scheme for full characterization of binary chemical reactions and characterization by type of more complex reactions, in situ, in diamond anvil cells (DAC). Spatially resolved reactants are induced to react by laser heating of their interface. The spatially intermediate products are observed through X-ray absorption contrast. Limits to the technique include the ability to maintain controlled experiment geometry during compression and the ability to resolve chemical differences between reactants and products by X-ray absorption. The ability to make in situ observations at experimental pressure and temperature obviates the problem with quenching techniques for capturing liquid compositions in experiments with dimensions smaller than the diffusion length during quenching time. Partially molten Fe-alloy systems, of poor quenchability, are examined at DAC pressures and temperatures for relevance to Earth's core constitution and evolution. Determinations of eutectic melting in Fe–FeS match known results. Of the probable light elements that may alloy with Fe in the Earth's liquid outer core, Fe–FeS experiments show only modest quenching problems, but C and Si alloy experiments are highly vulnerable to quenching artifacts. The observed reactivity of FeS, Fe₃C, FeSi, and FeO(OH) with Fe in DAC makes the observed non-reactivity between Fe and FeO more significant, reducing the probability that oxygen alone is the major alloy in Earth's molten outer core.

Arsenite sorption on troilite (FeS) and pyrite (FeS2)

Arsenic is a toxic metalloid whose mobility and availability are largely controlled by sorption on sulfide minerals in anoxic environments. Accordingly, we investigated reactions of As(III) with iron sulfide (FeS) and pyrite (FeS₂) as a function of total arsenic concentration, suspension density, sulfide concentration, pH, and ionic strength. Arsenite partitioned strongly on both FeS and FeS₂ under a range of conditions and conformed to a Langmuir isotherm at low surface coverages; a calculated site density of near 2.6 and 3.7 sites/nm² for FeS and FeS₂, respectively, was obtained. Arsenite sorbed most strongly at elevated pH (>5 to 6). Although solution data suggested the formation of surface precipitates only at elevated solution concentrations, surface precipitates were identified using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at all coverages. Sorbed As was coordinated to both sulfur [d(As-S) = 2.35 Å] and iron [d(As-Fe) = 2.40 Å], characteristic of As coordination in arsenopyrite (FeAsS). The absorption edge of sorbed As was also shifted relative to arsenite and orpiment (As₂S₃), revealing As(III) reduction and a complete change in As local structure. Arsenic reduction was accompanied by oxidation of both surface S and Fe(II); the FeAsS-like surface precipitate was also susceptible to oxidation, possibly influencing the stability of As sorbed to sulfide minerals in the environment. Sulfide additions inhibit sorption despite the formation of a sulfide phase, suggesting that precipitation of arsenic sulfide is not occurring. Surface precipitation of As on FeS and FeS₂ supports the observed correlation of arsenic and pyrite and other iron sulfides in anoxic sediments.     

Surface chemistry of disordered mackinawite (FeS)

Disordered mackinawite, FeS, is the first formed iron sulfide in ambient sulfidic environments and has a highly reactive surface. In this study, the solubility and surface chemistry of FeS is described. Its solubility in the neutral pH range can be described by K_s^app = {Fe²⁺} · {H₂S(aq)} · {H⁺}⁻² = 10^+4.87±0.27. Acid-base titrations show that the point of zero charge (PZC) of disordered mackinawite lies at pH ∼7.5. The hydrated disordered mackinawite surface can be best described by strongly acidic mono-coordinated and weakly acidic tricoordinated sulfurs. The mono-coordinated sulfur site determines the acid-base properties at pH < PZC and has a concentration of 1.2 × 10⁻³ mol/g FeS. At higher pH, the tricoordinated sulfur, which has a concentration of 1.2 × 10⁻³ mol/g FeS, determines surface charge changes. Total site density is 4 sites nm⁻². The acid-base titration data are used to develop a surface complexation model for the surface chemistry of FeS.     

Effects of Spin Transition and Cation Substitution on the Optical Properties and Iron Partitioning in Carbonate Minerals

The high-pressure behavior of deep carbonate dictates the state and dynamics of oxidized carbon in the Earth’s mantle, playing a vital role in the global carbon cycle and potentially influencing long-term climate change.

The binary systems FeS-MgS and FeS-MnS: Mössbauer spectroscopy of the B1 solid solutions and high-pressure phase equilibria

(Fe, Mn)S and (Fe, Mg)S solid solutions are examined to study and compare the properties of Fe²⁺ in two different B1-structured hosts, and also to study the relative stability of the B1 (NaCl) and B8 (NiAs) structures at high pressure. The Mössbauer spectra of (Fe, Mn)S and (Fe, Mg)S B1 solid solutions are quadrupole doublets at 298 K with parameters which vary smoothly with Fe²⁺ concentration. At 4.2 K the Mössbauer spectra of (Fe, Mn)S and Fe-rich (Fe, Mg)S B1 solid solutions are magnetically split into eight lines, but the spectra of Mg-rich (Fe, Mg)S solid solutions are quadrupole doublets. The line widths of the magnetic spectra are broad, consistent with a multiaxial spin arrangement. Some properties of the hypothetical phase FeS(B1) are calculated from the solid solution data; the phase is inferred to be relatively ionic compared to FeS(B8) and has a molar volume that is 7.2 percent larger than the B8 phase at 298 K. The large inferred volume difference between FeS(B1) and FeS(B8) should cause exsolution of a B8-structured phase from (Fe, Mn)S and (Fe, Mg)S B1 solid solutions at high pressure. This behaviour is confirmed experimentally at high pressure using X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy, and the results are correlated with thermodynamic calculations of the phase boundaries based on estimates of the volume and free energy differences between the B1 and B8 phases of FeS derived from atmospheric pressure data. The absence of an increase in solubility of Mg and Mn in the B8 phase with pressure suggests that any polymorphism in MnS and MgS at high pressure is unlikely to involve the B8 phase. Shock wave data for MgO and Fe_0.94O reported in the literature suggest similar behaviour in the system FeO-MgO at high pressure, namely exsolution of essentially pure FeO(hpp) from (Fe, Mg)O B1 solid solutions.

Novel preparation of sensitized ZnS nanoparticles and its use in photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline

Sensitized ZnS nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical precipitation method using anthocyanin as the capping agent and sensitizer. X-ray diffractometer, field-emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, UV visible spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectrometry methods were used for the characterization of nanoparticles. The electron microscopy studies of nanoparticles showed that the size of crystallites is in the range of 35–80 nm and optical studies showed a blue shift in the absorption edge by adding capping agent. The effective band gap energy was increased with decrease in the particle size. Photocatalytic activities of sensitized ZnS and pure ZnS were evaluated by degradation of tetracycline in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation, and progress of the reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically. The different parameters affecting degradation such as the pH of solution, amount of semiconductor and reusability of catalyst for three cycles and the photocatalytic degradation kinetics of tetracycline were studied. More than 80% degradation was achieved within 5 h under visible light.

Fe2+-Fe3+ interactions in tourmaline

The color and spectroscopic properties of ironbearing tourmalines (elbaite, dravite, uvite, schorl) do not vary smoothly with iron concentration. Such behavior has often been ascribed to intervalence charge transfer between Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ which produces a new, intense absorption band in the visible portion of the spectrum. In the case of tourmaline, an entirely different manifestation of the interaction between Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ occurs in which the Fe²⁺ bands are intensified without an intense, new absorption band. At low iron concentrations, the intensity of light absorption from Fe²⁺ is about the same for E∥c and E⊥c polarizations, but at high iron concentrations, the intensity of the E⊥c polarization increases more than ten times as much as E∥c. This difference is related to intensification of Fe²⁺ absorption by adjacent Fe³⁺. Extrapolations indicate that pairs of Fe²⁺-Fe³⁺ have Fe²⁺ absorption intensity ～200 times as great as isolated Fe²⁺. Enhanced Fe²⁺ absorption bands are recognized in tourmaline by their intensity increase at 78 K of up to 50%. Enhancement of Fe²⁺ absorption intensity provides a severe limitration on the accuracy of determinations of Fe²⁺ concentration and site occupancy by optical spectroscopic methods. Details of the assignment of tourmaline spectra in the optical region are reconsidered.
