Determination of titanium by adsorption voltammetry with 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol
1990
Titanium (IV) forms a complex with 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol (PAR) in weakly acidic solutions. This complex can be used to determine titanium by adsorption voltammetry at a stationary Hg-electrode. The experimental conditions for the determination are described. The current-concentration curve is linear from 0.15–4.8 ng/g. Ti at a deposition time of 3 min, the detection limit lies at 0.1 ng/g. The influence of foreign ions was investigated. The determination can be carried out in the presence of a 1000-fold excess of iron by the standard addition method, albeit with decreased sensitivity.
A study on the adsorption voltammetry of titanium with various heterocyclic azo-compounds
1994
The voltammetric behaviour of various heterocyclic azo-compounds and their Ti-complexes was investigated at a stationary Hg electrode. In moderately acidic solutions Ti(IV) reacts with pyridylazo-compounds (PAR, 5-Br-PADAP, PAN), thiazolylazo-compounds (TAR, 5-Me-TAR, TAN, 4-Me-TAP) and pyrazolylazo-compounds (MDR, ERB) to form Ti-complexes, which are strongly adsorbed onto the Hg-electrode. These complexes are reduced at potentials more negative than those corresponding to the reduction of their respective ligands. The conditions for determining titanium by adsorption voltammetry using TAR and MDR as complexing agents were investigated in detail, as was the influence of foreign ions on the…
Determination of titanium by adsorption-voltammetry with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-(diethylamino)-phenol (5-Br-PADAP)
1990
The 1:1 complex between titanium (IV) and 5-Br-PADAP can be used to determine titanium by adsorption voltammetry at a stationary Hg-electrode. The experimental conditions for the determination are described. The detection limit is 3×10−10 mol/l Ti (0.015 ppb). Calibration curves are linear for solutions containing 4×10−10 to 5×10−8 mol/l Ti(IV) and an enrichment time of 3 min. The influence of foreign ions was investigated. The determination can be carried out in the presence of a 5000-fold excess of iron.
Enhanced nanoscopy of individual CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals using dielectric sub-micrometric antennas
2020
We demonstrate an efficient, simple, and low-cost approach for enhanced nanoscopy in individual green emitting perovskite (CsPbBr3) nanocrystals via TiO2 dielectric nanoantenna. The observed three- to five-fold emission enhancement is attributed to near-field effects and emission steering promoted by the coupling between the perovskite nanocrystals and the dielectric sub-micrometric antennas. The dark-field scattering configuration is then exploited for surface-enhanced absorption measurements, showing a large increase in detection sensitivity, leading to the detection of individual nanocrystals. Due to the broadband spectral response of the Mie sub-micrometric antennas, the method can be e…
Klimt artwork: red-pigment material investigation by backscattering Fe-57 Mössbauer spectroscopy, SEM and p-XRF
2017
Material tests were performed on a rediscovered Klimt-artwork "Trompetender Putto". We performed studies on the red colored spots, mainly taken from non-restored parts. MIMOS II Fe-57 Mossbauer spectroscopy (novelty in art-pigment analysis) mainly reveals haematite and crystallized goethite in red colors. Electron microscopy can identify various layers of the original and overpainting of an artwork. The number of layers fluctuates between three and four chemically painted areas. The portable X-ray fluorescence analysis enables to reduce the pigment list to containing mercury (cinnabar), lead, zinc, iron and titanium. Infrared-light-irradiation visualizes the different age of the pigments.
Defects at the TiO2(100) surface probed by resonant photoelectron diffraction.
2006
We report photoelectron diffraction (PED) experiments of weakly sub-stoichiometric TiO 2 (100) rutile surfaces. Apart from standard core-level PED from the Ti-2p3/2 line, we have studied valence band PED from the defect induced Ti-3d states in the insulating band gap. For maximum yield, the latter were resonantly excited at the Ti-2p absorption edge. The PED patterns have been analyzed within the forward scattering approximation as well as by comparison with simulated PED patterns obtained in multiple scattering calculations. The analysis shows that the defect induced Ti-3d charge is mainly located on the second layer Ti atoms. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Preparation of photocatalytic brookite thin films
2007
Pure brookite films were deposited from a brookite dispersion obtained by peptizing a mixture brookite–rutile prepared by thermolysis of TiCl4 in a HCl solution. The films were characterised by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The photoactivity of the samples was tested by using the photo-oxidation of 2-propanol in gas–solid regime as a probe reaction. The brookite films efficiently degraded 2-propanol under UV illumination.
Pressure-induced transition in titanium metal: a systematic study of the effects of uniaxial stress
2005
Abstract The effects of uniaxial stress on the pressure-induced α → ω transition in pure titanium (Ti) are investigated by means of angle dispersive X-ray diffraction in a diamond-anvil cell. Experiments under four different pressure environments reveal that: (1) the onset of the transition depends on the pressure medium used, going from 4.9 GPa (no pressure medium) to 10.5 GPa (argon pressure medium); (2) the α and ω phases coexist over a rather large pressure range, which depends on the pressure medium employed; (3) the hysteresis and quenchability of the ω phase is affected by differences in the sample pressure environment; and (4) a short-term laser heating of Ti lowers the α → ω transi…
Synthesis and structural study of sodium titanium phosphate-sodium tin phosphate solid solutions. II. Thermal expansion
1993
Abstract The structure of NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 shows the space group R3c, whereas that of NaSn 2 (PO 4 ) 3 presents the space group R3 at room temperature and it undergoes a second order phase transition at 575°C from this structure to another with the space group R3c. Evolution of the structure of NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 NaSn 2 (PO 4 ) 3 solid solutions with temperature has been studied and temperature phase transition established for the compositions studied. Lattice thermal expansion of NaTi 2−x Sn x (PO 4 ) 3 solid solutions with x = 1, 1.2, 1.5 has been determined from x-ray diffraction data at temperatures ranging from 26 to 1000°C. DSC and dilatometric measurements have been also carried out o…
Linker depletion for missing cluster defects in non-UiO Metal-Organic Frameworks
2021
Defect engineering is a valuable tool to tune the properties of metal–organic frameworks. However, defect chemistry remains still predominantly limited to UiO-type MOFs. We describe the preferential formation of missing cluster defects in heterometallic titanium–organic frameworks of the MUV-10 family when synthesised in sub-stoichiometric linker conditions. Our results show the value of integrating experimental work, computational modelling and thorough characterization in rationalizing the impact of defects over the porosity and structure of this family of materials. Correlation of experiment with computational models reveals the dominance of missing cluster vacancies in the pore size dis…
