Multistep soft chemistry method for valence reduction in transition metal oxides with triangular (CdI2-type) layers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transition metal (M) oxides with MO2 triangular layers demonstrate a variety of physical properties depending on the metal oxidation states. In the known compounds, metal oxidation states are limited to either 3+ or mixed-valent 3+/4+. A multistep soft chemistry synthetic route for novel phases with M(2+/3+)O2 triangular layers is reported.

Spatially resolved surface valence gradient and structural transformation of lithium transition metal oxides in lithium-ion batteries.
Layered lithium transition metal oxides are one of the most important types of cathode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) that possess high capacity and relatively low cost. Nevertheless, these layered cathode materials suffer structural changes during electrochemical cycling that could adversely affect the battery performance. Clear explanations of the cathode degradation process and it...
متن کاملElectron beam induced changes in transition metal oxides.
Electron beam induced changes in maximal valence transition metal oxides V(2)O(5), M(o)O(3) and TiO(2) (anatase) were studied by means of electron energy-loss spectroscopy and electron diffraction in transmission electron microscopy. For V(2)O(5), the observed chemical shifts of the L-edge reveal the reduction of V(5+) to V(2+). The structure changes from orthorhombic V(2)O(5) to cubic VO. MoO(...
متن کاملFirst principles scheme to evaluate band edge positions in potential transition metal oxide photocatalysts and photoelectrodes.
The positions of electronic band edges are one important metric for determining a material's capability to function in a solar energy conversion device that produces fuels from sunlight. In particular, the position of the valence band maximum (conduction band minimum) must lie lower (higher) in energy than the oxidation (reduction) reaction free energy in order for these reactions to be thermod...

Fuel cell is a promising choice for clean energy because of its eco-friendly system, high energy conversion efficiency and high power density. Recently, much of the research work is focused on the system of combining metal oxides to increase the durability and surface area and to reduce the cost. In this study, among the various fabrication methods, we used the precipitation method to synthesis...
متن کاملElectronic origins of structural distortions in post-transition metal oxides: experimental and theoretical evidence for a revision of the lone pair model.
Structural distortions in post-transition metal oxides are often explained in terms of the influence of sp hybrid "lone pairs." Evidence is presented here showing that this model must be revised. The electronic structures of prototypically distorted alpha-PbO and alpha-Bi2O3 have been measured by high-resolution x-ray photoemission and soft x-ray emission spectroscopies. In contrast with the ex...
