We derived the following oxygen functionalized ordered double metal MXenes Ti2YC2O2, Y2TiC2O2 Sc2YC2O2, and Y2ScC2O2 through the surface and sub-layer tuning. The results revealed that the ordered MXenes give rise to different electronic structure and transport properties. The electronic thermal conductivities obtained in terms of the relaxation time increase with increase in absolute temperature, while the electrical conductivities decrease with increase in temperature. The respective transport properties of Y2TiC2O2 and Sc2YC2O2were found to be enhanced due to the increased squared band velocity, density of state and low Seebeck coefficient compared to Ti2YC2O2 and Y2ScC2O2 MXenes. Generally, the MXene materials investigated in this work were found to possess metallic properties with the existence of energy overlap around the Fermi level. The computed formation energies support chemical stability in all the materials.","PeriodicalId":9420,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77805423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prepared FeS2@CTS presented high solar absorptivity of 95.27% and fast optical response capability. Under the optimized condition, the evaporation rate of pure water reached 3.34 kg m−2 h−1 and the photothermal conversion efficiency was 103.06% under one sun irradiation. In five runs, the evaporation rate of the FeS2@CTS was stable, indicating the excellent cycle stability.

Currently, phosphates are detected using sensitive chromatographic and colorimetric techniques; however, major disadvantages stem from the lack of anion selectivity in samples with complex matrices, as well as the high cost of analysis. Electrochemical techniques utilizing self-assembled monolayers can provide a cheaper yet sensitive method of detection. This work explores the modification of a gold working electrode using pyridine-zinc (II) complexes. The implementation of self-assembled monolayers allows for an ultrasensitive and selective method of indirect detection of the H2PO4- species, ranging in concentrations between 0.0 and 1.2. fM phosphate. Electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV) were explored for their phosphate detection abilities, with detection limits of 4.0 x 10-16 and 9.0 x 10-17 M H2PO4-, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements were also taken to confirm the modification of the electrode. The selectivity of this sensor towards phosphate anions was successfully explored for this sensor in the presence of potential interfering agents (sulfate, chlorine, carbonate, fluoride, nitrite and hypochlorite ions), and applicability of sensor was also explored through the detection of phosphate in a tap and lake water sample.","PeriodicalId":9420,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"143 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74951423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The M-MS was synthesized by methylation of low-cost mesoporous silica (MS) with trimethylchlorosilane. Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed successful methylation of MS. 1-Octadecanol (OD) was then impregnated into the pores of MS and M-MS to form OD/MS and OD/M-MS SSPCMs and their thermal properties were thoroughly characterized and compared. FTIR result of OD/MS revealed interfacial hydrogen bond (H-bond) interactions between the hydroxyl group (–OH) on the OD molecules and silanol groups (Si–OH) on the MS surface. These interactions prevented the free movement and ordered arrangement of OD molecules for crystallization, thus declining the heat storage capacity. By methylating the MS surface, the H-bond interactions were suppressed and the OD/M-MS could recover the thermal performance. The heat storage capacity increased by 96.8% from 43.5 J/g of OD/MS to 85.6 J/g of OD/M-MS. Moreover, a test of 400 accelerated thermal cycles proved good thermal reliability for OD/M-MS SSPCM. This work provides an effective strategy to achieve OD/M-MS SSPCM with low cost and high thermal performance, promising for large-scale thermal energy storage applications.","PeriodicalId":9420,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"176 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82803450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By comparing experimental collision cross-sections obtained from calibrated IMS drift times with calculated cross sections for the lowest energy calculated structures, it was confirmed that dimer species have a bridged structure where the two monomers are connected through iron-sulfonic interactions. Dimer species with the charge states -4 and -5 dissociate into two monomer units where the charge is distributed between the monomers. Dimers with lower charge states also lose neutral SO2 and SO3 groups. For trimeric species with charge states of -3 and -4, IMS identifies three and two isomers, respectively. It was confirmed that the -4 charged trimer isomers consist of one with three stacked monomers and one in which the third monomer unit is connected to a stacked dimer via two iron-sulfonic bonds (bridged/stacked). Both yielded the same CID breakdown diagram confirming that the two isomers likely interconvert prior to dissociation. The significantly larger density of states of the bridged-stacked structure compared to the stacked structure means the former is likely the reactive configuration.","PeriodicalId":9420,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90814465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
