The role of iron-oxide aerosols and sunlight in the atmospheric reduction of Hg(II) species: A DFT+ U study

Journal Article Tacey, Sean A. ; Szilvasi, Tibor ; Xu, Lang ; ... - Applied Catalysis. B, Environmental

Experimental and field measurements have shown that, in the presence of both iron-containing aerosols and sunlight, oxidized mercury species such as HgCl ₂ and HgBr ₂ undergo reduction to elemental mercury (Hg°), which remains in the atmosphere longer than oxidized mercury species due to its higher volatility. We performed density functional theory (DFT, PW91+U) calculations to elucidate the reduction mechanism for atmospheric HgCl ₂ and HgBr ₂ to Hg° on several iron-oxide aerosol surfaces relevant in the troposphere. On the OH-Fe-R-terminated α-Fe ₂O ₃(0001) surface, predicted to be most prevalent under ambient conditions, we show that: (1) the first Hg-Xmore »« less

Deciphering chemical order/disorder and material properties at the single-atom level

Journal Article Yang, Yongsoo ; Chen, Chien-Chun ; Scott, M. C. ; ... - Nature (London)

Perfect crystals are rare in nature. Real materials often contain crystal defects and chemical order/disorder such as grain boundaries, dislocations, interfaces, surface reconstructions and point defects. Such disruption in periodicity strongly affects material properties and functionality. Despite rapid development of quantitative material characterization methods, correlating three-dimensional (3D) atomic arrangements of chemical order/disorder and crystal defects with material properties remains a challenge. On a parallel front, quantum mechanics calculations such as density functional theory (DFT) have progressed from the modelling of ideal bulk systems to modelling ‘real’ materials with dopants, dislocations, grain boundaries and interfaces; but these calculations rely heavily onmore »« less

Influence of atmospheric processes on the solubility and composition of iron in Saharan dust

Journal Article Longo, Amelia F. ; Feng, Yan ; Lai, Barry ; ... - Environmental Science and Technology

Aerosol iron was examined in Saharan dust plumes using a combination of iron near-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy and wet-chemical techniques. Aerosol samples were collected at three sites located in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and Bermuda to characterize iron at different atmospheric transport lengths and time scales. Iron(III) oxides were a component of aerosols at all sampling sites and dominated the aerosol iron in Mediterranean samples. In Atlantic samples, iron(II and III) sulfate, iron(III) phosphate, and iron(II) silicates were also contributors to aerosol composition. With increased atmospheric transport time, iron(II) sulfates are found to become more abundant, aerosol iron oxidation statemore »« less

Morphology and Electronic Structure of the Oxide Shell on the Surface of Iron Nanoparticles

Journal Article Wang, Chong M. ; Baer, Donald R. ; Amonette, James E. ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

A iron nanoparticle exposed to air at room temperature will be instantly covered by an oxide shell of typical thickness of ~ 3 nm. This native oxide shell in combination with an underlying iron core determines the physical and chemical behavior of this type of core-shell nanoparticles. One of the great challenges for characterizing this type of nanoparticles is determination of the structure of the oxide shell, as it is FeO, Fe ₃O ₄, γ-Fe ₂O ₃, α-Fe ₂O ₃, or anything else. Significant research effort, mostly based on x-ray diffraction and spectroscopy and electron diffraction and transmission electron microscopymore »« less
