Metastable Layered Cobalt Chalcogenides from Topochemical Deintercalation

November 29, 2016
Author(s)
Xiuquan Zhou, Brandon Wilfong, Hector Vivanco, Johnpierre Paglione, Craig Brown, Efrain E. Rodriguez
We present a general strategy to synthesize metastable layered materials via topochemical de-intercalation of thermodynamically stable to phases.Through kinetic control of the de-intercalation reaction, we have prepared two hypothesized metastable

ZnTaO 2 N: Stabilized High-Temperature LiNbO 3 -Type Structure

November 18, 2016
Author(s)
Yoshinori Kuno, Cedric Tassel, Koji Fujita, Dmitry Batuk, Artem M. Abakumov, Kazuki Shitara, Akihide Kuwabara, Hiroki Moriwake, Daichi Watabe, Clemens Ritter, Craig Brown, Takafumi Yamamoto, Fumitaka Takeiri, Ryu Abe, Yoji Kobayashi, Katsuhisa Tanaka, Hiroshi Kageyama
By using a high pressure reaction, we prepared a new oxynitride ZnToO 2N that crystallizes in a centrosymmetric (R-3 c)high-temperature LiNbO 3-type structure (HTLN-type). The stabilization of the HTLN-type structure down to low temperatures (at least 20 K

Entropy-Driven Structural Transition and Kinetic Trapping in Formamidinium Lead Iodide Perovskite

October 21, 2016
Author(s)
Tianran Chen, Benjamin J. Foley, Changwon Park, Craig Brown, Leland Harriger, Jooseop Lee, Jacob Ruff, Mina Yoon, Joshua J. Choi, Seugn-Hun Lee
A challenge for hybrid perovskite solar cells is device instability, which calls for understanding of the perovskite structural stability and phase transitions. Here, using neutron diffraction and ab-initio calculations on HC(NH 2) 2PbI 3, we show that the

Three-Dimensional Protonic Conductivity in Porous Organic Cage Solids

September 13, 2016
Author(s)
Ming Liu, Linjiang Chen, Scott Lewis, Samantha Y. Chong, Marc A. Little, Tom Hasell, Iain M. Aldous, Craig Brown, Martin W. Smith, Carole A. Morrison, Laurence J. Hardwick, Andrew I. Cooper
Proton conduction is a fundamental process in biology and in devices such as proton exchange membrane fuel cells. To maximize proton conduction, 3-D conduction pathways are preferred over 1-D pathways, which prevent proton conduction in two-dimensions

The Low-Temperature Structural Behavior of Sodium 1-Carba-closo-decaborate: NaCB 9 H 10

August 21, 2016
Author(s)
Hui Wu, Wan Si NMN Tang, Wei Zhou, Jacob Daniel Tarver, Vitalie Stavila, Craig Brown, Terrence J. Udovic
Two ordered phases of the novel solid superionic conductor sodium 1-carba-closo-decaborate (NaCB 9H 10) were identified via synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction in combination with first-principles calculations and neutron vibrational spectroscopy. A

Hydrogen Storage and Selective, Reversible O 2 Adsorption in a Metal-Organic Framework with Open Chromium(II) Sites

July 18, 2016
Author(s)
Eric D. Bloch, Wendy L. Queen, Matthew Ross Hudson, Jarad A. Mason, Dianne J. Xiao, Leslie J. Murray, Roxana Flacau, Craig Brown, Jeffrey R. Long
A chromium(II)-based metal-organic framework, Cr 3[Cr 4Cl) 3(BTT) 8] 2 (Cr-BTT;BTT 3- = 1,3,5-benzenetrisetrazolate), featuring coordinatively-unsaturated, redox-active Cr 2+ cation sites was synthesized and investigated for potential applications in H 2

Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering Studies of Hydrogen Dynamics for Nanoconfined NaAlH 4

July 14, 2016
Author(s)
Shathabish NaraseGowda, Craig Brown, Madhu Sudan Tyagi, Tabbetha A. Dobbins
The hydrogen dynamics of nano-confined sodium alanate (NaAlH 4) has been studied using quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS). Results indicate thermodynamic destabilization is responsible for reduced desorption temperatures of NaAlH 4 upon confinement

Adsorption of Two Gas Molecules at a Single Metal Site in a Metal-Organic Framework

July 7, 2016
Author(s)
Tomce Runcevski, Matthew T. Kapelewski, Rodolfo M. Torres-Gavosto, Jacob Daniel Tarver, Craig Brown, Jeffrey R. Long
One strategy to markedly increase the gas storage capacity of metal-organic frameworks, is to introduce coordinatively-unsaturated metal centers capable of binding multiple gas molecules. Herein, we provide an initial demonstration that a single mental

High-Pressure Synthesis of Manganese Oxyhydride with Partial Anion Order

July 1, 2016
Author(s)
Cedric Tassel, Yoshinori Goto, Daichi Watabe, Ya Tang, Honcheng Lu, Yoshinori Kuno, Fumitaka Takeiri, Takafumi Yamamoto, Craig Brown, James Hester, Yoji Kobayashi, Hiroshi Kageyama
We report the high-pressure synthesis of a manganese oxyhydride LaSrMnO 3.3H 0.7. Neutron and X-ray Rietveld analyses showed this compound adopts the K 2NiF 4 structure, with H -positioned exclusively at the equatorial site. This result makes a striking
