Conversion based electrode materials offer increased energy storage compared to conventional intercalation materials due to the multiple electrons that reacts per metal ion. However, loss in capacities upon repeated cycling has limited the development of this technology for commercial application. Most structural studies focus on the first discharge-charge cycle [1,2,3]. To understand the loss in capacities with repeated cycling, studies must be extended beyond the first cycle. In conversion reactions, large structural transformations occur such that the electrode is reduced to the nanoscale. Pair distribution function (PDF) analysis is well suited to characterize the structural changes occurring in such nanomaterials. Conversion based iron fluorides (FeF3, FeF2, and FeOF) have been a focus of both structural and mechanistic studies [1,2,3]. An in-depth PDF analysis of what happens beyond the first cycle will be presented for these.

AbstractNanostructured thin films were assembled as metal-responsive electrode materials from monolayer-capped gold nanoparticles (2 nm) and carboxylic acid functionalized alkyl thiol linkers via an exchange-crosslinking-precipitation reaction pathway. The network assemblies have open frameworks in which void space forms channels or chambers with the nanometer sized cores defining its size and the shell structures defining its chemical specificity. Such nanostructures were investigated as responsive materials for the detection of metal ion fluxes. Cyclic voltammetry, in-situ electrochemical quartz-crystal nanobalance, and surface infrared reflection spectroscopy techniques were used to characterize the interfacial redox reactivity and mass fluxes at the nanostructured electrode materials. The system showed remarkable reversible mass loading arising from incorporation of ionic species into the film. The diagnostic stretching bands of the carboxylic and carboxylate groups at the shell allowed the identification and assessment of the interfacial carboxylate-metal ion reactivity.

Abstract Chemical and biological detection using Electrochemistry Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) highly depends on the electrical characteristics of the electrodes used in the measurement process. In this work, the effect of surface coating on behavior of interdigitated impedance-based biochemical sensors is studied. Two interdigitated sensors with the same geometry and different electrode materials are fabricated using a standard process. One electrode is made of gold and the other electrode is made of polycrystalline silicon covered with a thin layer of native silicon dioxide. Different concentrations of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in water are used and the Nyquist responses of the two sensors exposed to these solutions are obtained. The measurement results show that at high frequency both sensors form double-layer capacitance values on their electrode surfaces, however, the silicon sensor has a much lower double-layer capacitance values, because formation of oxide layer adds to the gap between charges at the interface of the electrode and the solution. Moreover, comparing the low frequency regions of the Nyquist plots for two sensors shows that the presence of oxide layer affects the Warburg effect and the charge diffusion near the surface of the electrode, creating an extra capacitive element in series with the diffusion effect. The results of this work may be extended to other interdigitated biochemical sensors that may have other sources of contamination on their surfaces.

A hydrogen bonded network of composition Zn8(C4O7)4(H2O)12·hydrate was shown to undergo a single crystal to single crystal exchange process when crystals are immersed in a concentrated aqueous solution of Ni(ii). In the exchange process, half of the zinc(ii) centres are replaced by nickel(ii) centres. The process of metal ion exchange was monitored using IR spectroscopy. Crystal structures of the transformed crystal and the product generated from a direct synthetic approach are presented.
