Hydration matters: The interaction patterns of water and oxide crystals revealedTranscript of this podcastHello and welcome to the NanoLSI podcast. Thank you for joining us today. In this episode we feature the latest research by Keisuke Miyazawa at the Kanazawa University NanoLSI.The research described in this podcast was published in Nanoscale in July 2023 Kanazawa University NanoLSI websitehttps://nanolsi.kanazawa-u.ac.jp/en/Hydration matters: The interaction patterns of water and oxide crystals revealed.https://nanolsi.kanazawa-u.ac.jp/en/highlights/28428/ In a study recently published in the journal Nanoscale, researchers from Kanazawa University and AGC Inc. use three-dimensional atomic force microscopy to study the hydrated form and structure of commonly occurring oxide crystals. While sapphire and quartz are oxide crystals used in a wide range of industrial applications, the atomic-scale structures of these materials are not well understood. The major chemical components of sapphire and quartz are aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide, respectively. These components have a high affinity for water, which affects the chemical reactivity of the crystals. Thus, a thorough knowledge of the water-binding properties of these oxides is important for further innovative applications. To date, traditional microscopic methods have only provided insights into the two-dimensional topography of their surfaces. Now, a research team led by Keisuke Miyazawa from the NanoLSI at Kanazawa University has developed three-dimensional (3D) microscopy technique for a detailed study of the interaction of the surfaces of these materials with water.So how did they do it?The team started by looking at the surface structures and its hydration structures of sapphire and α-quartz in water. For this, they used an advanced form of microscopy known as 3D atomic force microscopy (3D-AFM). Oxide crystals usually have hydroxyl (OH) groups, which are the main “water-binding” molecules, closely linked with the oxides. Hence, the team studied the OH groups and its hydration structures on both crystals when immersed in water. They found that the hydration layer on sapphire was not uniform because of the nonuniform local distributions of the surface OH groups. On the other hand, the hydration layer on α-quartz was uniform because of the atomically flat distributions of the surface OH groups. When the interaction force of these oxides with water was subsequently measured, it was found that a greater force was required to break the water-crystal bonds in sapphire than in α-quartz. Lastly, it was also discovered that this affinity was much higher in regions where the oxides were in close proximity to the OH groups. This study showed that the hydration structures of oxides are dependent on the location and density of OH groups, in addition to the strength of the OH groups' hydrogen bonding (the chemical bond used to bind to water). What's more, it was successfully shown here that 3D-AFM can be used in unraveling the interaction of water with several surfaces, a potential avenue for understanding solid-liquid interactions better. “This study contributes to the application of 3D-AFM in exploring atomic scale hydration structures on various surfaces, and hence, to a wide range of solid–liquid interfacial research fields,” conclude the researchers.   ReferenceSho Nagai, Shingo Urata, Kent Suga, Takeshi Fukuma, Yasuo Hayashi and Keisuke Miyazawa.

In this short podcast, Bryan talks about oxidation and all the buzz behind “magical air-cleaning oxides” and other similar IAQ products. Oxidation is the loss of electrons, and reduction is the gain of electrons; oxygen commonly loses electrons. Rusting is a common example of oxidation; it happens when iron and oxygen interact in air or water. Metals that are more likely to react with oxygen (or corrode) are “less noble” than more noble metals. Less-noble metals, known as anodes, are sometimes used sacrificially to prevent the oxidation of nobler base metals, known as cathodes. While iron oxidation results in corrosion, some IAQ products use the process to bind oxygen molecules to unwanted substances. The IAQ products that use oxidation use the natural tendency of oxygen to lose electrons when bonding with other molecules. Ozone is a common agent of these IAQ products because an ozone molecule is very unstable and has three oxygen atoms, meaning it combines with other molecules via oxidation; it stabilizes other unstable molecules. Ozone, however, also reacts similarly with cells in our respiratory system and can cause irritation.  In our industry's efforts to reduce the negative effects of COVID-19 viruses, oxidation has generated a good deal of interest. Nowadays, some IAQ products use smaller amounts of ozone or use activated carbon to catch ozone before it enters the conditioned space. Many manufacturers that use oxidation as a strategy use other ion-based oxidizers, just not ozone. Some of these oxidizers can break pollutants into aldehydes and other chemicals that may harm our bodies.   If you want to learn more, you can read Oxidizers and What It Has to Do With COVID-19.

Episode 11: Introduction of hydrogen produces eco-friendly thermoelectric oxides

Many industrial processes require heat or create it as a by-product. Now, Takayoshi Katase from the Tokyo Institute of Technology has found a way to harness this heat in an eco-friendly way, as he explains in an interview with MRS Bulletin podcaster Laura Leay. One way to harness this heat is to use thermoelectric devices to produce electricity via the Seebeck effect. Conventional thermoelectric materials, however, are composed of heavy metals such as lead and tellurium, which are toxic. To incorporate hydrogen into the structure, and so replace the toxic elements, Katase's research team used a rapid thermal sintering process where the starting material—which already includes the hydrogen—is sealed inside a tube. Some of the oxygen sites in strontium titanate are then substituted by the hydrogen. “More than expected, the hydrogen substitution reduces thermal conductivity less than half, and also increases electronic conductivity, resulting in the large enhancement of energy conversion efficiency,” Katase says. This work was published in a recent issue of Advanced Functional Materials.

Little research has been done on the magnetic properties of high-entropy oxides, a challenge taken up by Alannah Hallas at the University of British Columbia in Canada, interviewed by MRS Bulletin podcaster Laura Leay. Hallas's research group began by choosing five elements that would be magnetic and combining them in oxide form, rendering a spinel structure for further experimentation. To understand how progressive substitution of the magnetic metal cations with non-magnetic gallium would affect the magnetic properties of the spinel, Hallas found that Ga substitution led to precise control of the configurational entropy, which may help to stabilize the spinel structure. Manganese, cobalt, and iron were redistributed throughout the structure whereas nickel and chromium were unaffected. Ga substitution led to the ability to tune the magnetic properties of the material in some unexpected ways that the research team calls “entropy engineering.” The ability to tune the properties may have applications for energy and data storage, for example, and could lead to more sustainable technologies. This work was published in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Recording date: 28th June 2023In this insightful discussion, Hayden Locke, CEO of Marimaca Copper, sheds light on the contrasting properties of oxides and sulfides within the copper industry. They explain that copper mineralization initially begins as primary sulfide mineralization, which is present in geological deposits. As meteoric surface water interacts with these minerals, they undergo transformation and become oxides. Oxides are typically found closer to the surface or in near-surface locations, although they can also exist undercover in large deposits. The distinguishing factor between oxides and sulfides lies in their processing methods and eventual utilization.Oxide copper species, for the most part, are leachable and can be dissolved using acid or weak acid solutions, resulting in efficient recovery of copper ions. Conversely, sulfides do not leach easily, necessitating a different treatment approach. The sulfide minerals need to be ground and separated from other minerals to produce a concentrate. Another significant disparity lies in the final products of these processes. Oxide projects yield high-purity copper cathodes, while sulfide operations generate concentrates that are subsequently sent to smelters for further processing into various copper products.Marimaca Copper's CEO further discusses the presence of secondary sulfide minerals such as chalcopyrite and covellite within their deposits. These materials can undergo a longer leaching cycle, resulting in lower recovery rates. While oxide deposits can be relatively large, their economic viability and scale differ from sulfide projects due to variations in capital costs. Overall, understanding the differences between oxides and sulfides is crucial for effectively navigating the copper industry and optimizing resource utilization.

Welcome to the final episode in the Understanding Pottery series, Chapter 26: Tips for Buying Used Pottery Equipment. They say that you can pick out a horse by looking at its teeth, and kicking tires is supposedly a good way to judge a car. But what do you look for when buying used (or “previously owned”, if it's expensive) pottery equipment? The discussion at the March Round Table meeting will be about exactly that – tips and suggestions for things to look for and things to avoid when shopping for used kilns, pottery wheels and other equipment (such as pug mills). Understanding Pottery is a series in production by Washington Street Studios. The video series is a digital textbook that will take you through the entire ceramic process from the raw material through the finished ceramic pieces. There are five sections and twenty-six chapters planned in the series and they are: Section I: The Pottery Making Sequence Chapter 1: What is Clay? Chapter 2: Clay Properties and Drying Chapter 3: Bisque Firing Chapter 4: Tips for Successful Glazing Chapter 5: Pyrometric Cones Chapter 6: Glaze Firing Section II: Use of Raw Materials Chapter 7: Chemistry for Potters Chapter 8: Glaze Chemistry Chapter 9: Oxides, Washes, Underglazes and Stains Chapter 10: Geology for Potters Chapter 11: Use of Local Materials Section III: Kilns and Firings Chapter 12: Atmospheric Firings Chapter 13: Wood-Fired Kilns Chapter 14: Gas-Fired Kilns Chapter 15: Electric Kilns Chapter 16: Raku Kilns Section IV: Solving Problems Chapter 17: Kiln Performance Problems Chapter 18: Clay Body Defects Chapter 19: Glaze Defects Section V: Practical Applications Chapter 20: Pottery Myths, Errors and Misconceptions Chapter 21: Thixotropy, Quartz Inversions and Other Pottery Mysteries Chapter 22: Pottery and Physics Chapter 23: Pottery Figurin' (Math) Chapter 24: Personal Safety with Pottery Chapter 25: Critiquing Your Own Pottery: Design Principles You Can Use Chapter 26: Tips for Buying Used Pottery Equipment Show notes, including handouts, can be found at https://www.hfclay.com/the-potters-round-table The Potters' Round Table is brought to you by Washington Street Studios, a community pottery studio, gallery, and pottery school located in Harpers Ferry / Bolivar, WV.

Strongly correlated metals exhibit anomalous transport properties which have puzzled condensed matter physicists for many years. They are characterized by large resistivities which exceed the Mott Ioffe Reggel limit and large thermoelectric responses, which cannot be explained in terms of standard Fermi liquid quasiparticles. Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) calculations [1,2] carried out on a doped one band Hubbard model suggest that this behavior originate in the strong temperature dependence of thee parameters of the underlying resilient (non-Landau) quasiparticles. We will test these ideas by analyzing low energy optical spectroscopy measurements in several prototypical compounds starting with the archetypal correlated material Sesquioxide V2O3. We will also show first principles, material specific, LDA+DMFT calculations which are in very good agreement with the experiments [3].

Yesssss! Ze Chermans will kick the tin for up to $127.1 million for Dieselgate class action victims, who own (or owned) the company’s disgraceful, filthy shitheaps. If you’ve been dead from the neck up since about 2015, Dieselgate was, of course, the board-level criminal conspiracy, in which a decision was taken to kill people prematurely in the name of profit, by cheating emissions regulations and pumping up oxides of nitrogen in Volkswagen dung-box diesel exhausts. Oxides of nitrogen kill about 50,000 people annually in Retardistan. If you read the peer-reviewed study in respected academic journal, Environmental Pollution, you’d see they estimated fraudulent Dieselgate emissions causing 45,000 disability-adjusted life-years to be lost, at a cost of $39 billion US dollars (and that’s just in ‘Murica). Dieselgate has now cost Volkswagen more than 30 billion Euros, in total, and several high-level Volkswagen and Audi arseholes have gone to prison. Others, of course, parachuted out onto their wallets, fortuitously to live happily ever after, presumably in a hot tub full of Veuve Cliquot. And high-class hookers. In countries that don’t extradite. And, let’s face it - if you’re going to be in prison, that’s how to do it. Even more of a side-splitter for me: Volkswagen, Audi and Skoda are doing this “without admission of liability”. I ask you: Could they actually harbour some hope against hope of looking any less like morally adrift mother-lovers? In fact, those disingenuous Volkswagen ‘Straya arseholes said, in a statement, that the $40 million (wriggle room) settlement would be a: “...significant step towards fully resolving the diesel lawsuits in Australia.” I guess that’s true - except for the people who became disabled because the excessive NOx gave them some life-limiting cardiovascular disease. But, really, who cares about them? The company droned on, seemingly without end: "The settlement, on a no-admissions basis, concerns five class-action lawsuits covering all affected vehicles in Australia. Volkswagen expects the proceedings will be concluded in 2020." If only Volkswagen, Audi and Skoda cars were as reliable as their corporate bullshit. Here’s my problem with this ‘zero admission of liability’ caper: If the cops kick in your door at 3am, they zip-tie you at gunpoint and tell you they think you really did kill all those children, and the Department of Public Prosecutions agrees, you get two basic options: One: Plead ‘guilty’ and go straight to sentencing. Two: Plead ‘not guilty’ and go to trial, where your guilt (or not) is established. What you specifically don’t get to do, when some dude in a wig says: “How do you plead?” Is get in wig-man’s face and argue: “Maaaate, look, I’m not sayin’ I killed all those schoolgirls, right - but just gimme … I dunno ... 8.7 to 12.7 years, we’ll sort that out, and that’ll be the end of it. I think you’d agree that’d be a significant step towards fully resolving this mutually inconvenient issue.” And yet - that’s kinda what’s happening here.

Porous materials play an important role in numerous environmental applications including energy storage, energy conversion and environmental remediation systems. Reducing structural features down to the nanoscale drastically alters materials properties and leads to the enhancement of materials performance. The successful fabrication of efficient functional materials requires a high degree of control over their morphology addressing the needs of target applications. The goal of this work was to develop a versatile general approach towards the synthesis of nanoporous metal oxides by using biogenic cellulose nanocrystals. Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) is an abundant biological nanomaterial that can be extracted from natural bulk celluloses. The present thesis demonstrates that the unique properties of NCC enable the efficient synthesis of porous titania and iron oxide (hematite) thin films by using sacrificial templating with cellulose nanocrystals. In particular, this study reveals the mechanism of metal oxide formation in the presence of cellulose, as well as the effect of NCC-templated porous scaffolds on titania performance in photocatalysis and dye sensitized solar cells. Chapter 1 provides general information about properties, application areas and common synthesis methods of nanoporous metal oxides, with an emphasis put on titanium oxide materials and biotemplating approaches. Chapter 2 discusses the basic principles of analytical methods employed to characterize porous nanomaterials. Chapters 3‒6 reveal the experimental procedures towards NCC-templated porous titania and hematite thin films, their characterization and their applications. First, the extraction of cellulose crystals from bulk celluloses is discussed. Different cellulose sources, as well as variable hydrolysis parameters have been employed to define the optimal procedure for the NCC preparation. Cotton fibers have provided the best results regarding the crystallinity, purity and shape of extracted cellulose crystals. Furthermore, repeated washings have been shown to narrow down the size distribution and to improve the crystallinity of cotton NCC. Chapter 4 focuses on the synthesis of porous titania thin films assisted by nanocrystalline cellulose. The tunable porosity of titania thin films is a key factor for successful applications in photovoltaics, sensing and photocatalysis. To synthesize NCC-templated titania, the cellulose nanocrystals are introduced to a titania precursor solution. The colloidal mixtures can be directly spin- or dip- coated on glass, silicon and transparent conducting oxide (TCO) substrates and then calcined to remove the template and to crystallize the titania porous network. The obtained structures are highly porous anatase morphologies having well-defined, narrow pore size distribution. We show that by varying the titania-to-template ratio it is possible to tune the surface area, pore size, pore anisotropy and dimensions of titania crystallites in the films. Post-treatment at high humidity and subsequent slow template removal promote pore widening; this treatment is also beneficial for the multilayer deposition of thick films. The NCC-templated mesoporous titania films show very high activity in the photocatalytic NO (nitrogen(II) oxide) conversion and in the degradation of 4-chlorophenol. Furthermore, the films are successfully applied as anodes in dye-sensitized solar cells. Chapter 5 presents a strategy toward enhancement of the photocatalytic activity of NCC-templated titania thin films by introducing solvothermally synthesized preformed anatase nanoparticles into a sol-gel based biotemplated titania scaffold. The synthesis is based on the self-assembly of two types of precursors, namely crystalline and sol-gel titania, directed by the biogenic NCC template. Due to the shape persistence of the template, the NCC-templated titania scaffolds can accommodate large amounts of preformed titania without a significant reduction of the film porosity. The resulting dual source titania thin films containing different amounts of preformed crystalline species were investigated with time resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) measurements and tested in the photocatalytic conversion of 4-chlorophenol. The gradual addition of preformed nanoparticles leads to a consistent increase of the mean size of titania crystalline domains, whereas the porosity of the composite is well-preserved due to the rigid nature of the NCC template. The microwave conductivity studies establish increased photoconductivity of the films containing preformed anatase nanoparticles, in comparison to that of films made without the nanoparticles. The synergistic features of the dual source titania, namely the improved crystalline properties brought by the preformed nanocrystals in combination with the high surface area provided by the NCC-templated sol-gel titania, result in a very high photocatalytic activity of the films in the photocatalytic decomposition of 4-chlorophenol. In quantitative terms, the dual source titania films prepared with 75% nanoparticles exhibit a first order degradation rate constant of 0.53 h-1, strongly outperforming the activity of commercial P90 nanopowder showing a rate constant of 0.17 h-1 under the same conditions. We have also adapted the NCC templating protocol for the fabrication of porous iron oxide (hematite) thin films. Chapter 6 discusses the formation of porous iron oxide nanostructures via sol-gel transformations of molecular precursors in the confined space of self-organized cellulose nanocrystals used as a shape-persistent template. The obtained structures are highly porous hematite morphologies featuring pronounced anisotropic porosity. The character of the porous nanostructure depends on the iron salt used as precursor and on the heat treatment, respectively. Moreover, a post-synthetic hydrothermal treatment of the NCC/iron salt composites strongly affects the crystal growth, as well as the porous nanomorphology of the obtained hematite scaffolds. We demonstrate that the hydrothermal treatment alters the crystallization mechanism of the molecular iron precursors, which proceeds via the formation of anisotropic iron oxyhydroxide species. The present study reveals that the nanocellulose templating technique enables a straightforward fabrication of a variety of porous crystalline scaffolds with well-defined mesoporous structure. For the first time the NCC has been used for the fabrication of homogeneous porous metal oxide films on different substrates, in contrast to the previously reported powders or free-standing membranes. The versatility and flexibility of the NCC templating approach offers broad perspectives towards the generalization of this method for the fabrication of different types of nanoporous metal oxides.

The fully automated in-situ measuring system SIOUX (StratospherIc Observation Unit for nitrogen oXides) has been developed and established under flight conditions. SIOUX is a two channel measuring device designed for the high-altitude research aircraft M55-Geophysica to record reactive nitrogen oxides in the upper troposphere and the lower stratosphere. Channel A detects nitric oxide (NO) and channel B the total reactive nitrogen (NOy), which is reduced to NO on the surface of a heated gold-converter in conjunction with carbon monoxide (CO) as reducing agent. The technique used for the measurement of NO is chemiluminescence. The detection limit of channel A is 6 pmol/mol and of channel B 10 pmol/mol for an integration time of 1 s. The main components of SIOUX are the sample inlet, the detector incorporating the reaction chambers, photomultipliers and ozone generators, the converter, a pumping system, a calibration/operation gas system and the data recording unit. Except for the sample inlet all components are housed in a pressurised aluminium container. This has a length of 1.1 m, a diameter of 0.6 m and a total mass of 250 kg; the maximum power consumption of SIOUX is 1300 W. For aeronautical compliance four test procedures were required to guarantee the flight compatibility of the mechanics and electronics of the device: shock/vibration/EMC (ElectroMagnetic Compatibility)/pressure test. In October 2001 SIOUX was implemented for the first time aboard the M55-Geophysica during a test campaign in Russia. There, the measuring system was monitored under flight conditions and its operation was established for stratospheric conditions. Mixing ratios for NO and NOy were registered up to an altitude of 20 km. In July 2002 SIOUX was used aboard the M55-Geophysica for validation the ENVISAT instrument MIPAS-E in Italy. A comparison was made for the first time between MIPAS-E measurements of nitric acid (HNO3) and SIOUX measurements of NOy-NOx (≈ HNO3 in the altitude range 17 - 20 km). A mean deviation of 20% ± 6% between the MIPAS-E and the SIOUX data was registered.

1 Contrary to established metabolic pattern, a recent investigation of NNK metabolism produced in rat urine higher levels of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1- butanone (NNK) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyri dyl)-1-butanol (NNAL) than their N-oxides, suggesting that reconversion of N-oxides could occur after urine formation. 2 To verify the possible role of bacteria in the reduction of NNK-N-oxide and NNAL-N-oxide to their respective parent compounds, NNK and NNAL, in smokers with urinary tract infection (UTI), the N-oxides were isolated from the urine of rats treated with 5-3HNNK and individually incubated at 37°C with ten bacterial species in sterile human urine under different pH regimens. After incubation with the bacteria, aliquots of culture media were analyzed by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with radiochemical detection. 3 Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis possessed varying capacity to regenerate NNK and NNAL from their N- oxides while others showed no detectable reductive capability within 24 h. 4 This result constitutes the first experimental evidence that in tobacco users with concomitant UTI, bacterial regeneration of the procarcinogenic NNK and NNAL from their N-oxides could occur in the bladder leading to increased carcinogen burden in these individuals.
