The role of vacancies in the hydrogen storage properties of Prussian blue analogues

چکیده
The porosity and hydrogen storage properties of the dehydrated Prussian blue type solids Ga[Co(CN)6], Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3, M2[Fe(CN)6] (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu), and Co3[Co(CN)5]2 are reported and compared to those of M3[Co(CN)6]2 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn). Nitrogen sorption measurements suggest partial framework collapse for M2[Fe(CN)6] (M = Co, Ni) and Co3[Co(CN)5]2, and complete collapse for Mn2[Fe(CN)6]. Hydrogen sorption isotherms measured at 77 K reveal a correlation between uptake capacity and the concentration of framework vacancies, with Langmuir–Freundlich fits predicting saturation values of 1.4 wt.% for Ga[Co(CN)6], 1.6 wt.% for Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3, 2.1 wt.% for Cu3[Co(CN)6]2, and 2.3 wt.% for Cu2[Fe(CN)6]. Enthalpies of H2 adsorption were calculated from isotherms measured at 77 and 87 K. Importantly, the values obtained for compounds with framework vacancies are not significantly greater than for the fully-occupied framework of Ga[Co(CN)6] (6.3– 6.9 kJ/mol). This suggests that the exposed metal coordination sites in these materials do not dominate the hydrogen binding interaction. # 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Vacancy-driven magnetocaloric effect in Prussian blue analogues
We experimentally show that the magnetocaloric properties of molecule-based Prussian blue analogues can be adjusted by controlling during the synthesis the amount of intrinsic vacancies. For CsxNi II 4 [Cr (CN)6](8+x)/3, we find indeed that the ferromagnetic phase transition induces significantly large magnetic entropy changes, whose maxima shift from∼ 68 K to∼ 95 K by varying the number of [Cr...
متن کاملHydrogen storage in the dehydrated prussian blue analogues M3[Co(CN)6]2 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn).
The porosity and hydrogen storage properties for the dehydrated Prussian blue analogues M3[Co(CN)6]2 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) are reported. Argon sorption isotherms measured at 87 K afford BET surface areas ranging from 560 m2/g for Ni3[Co(CN)6]2 to 870 m2/g for Mn3[Co(CN)6]2; the latter value is comparable to the highest surface area reported for any known zeolite. All six compounds show s...

A new approach for the synthesis of Prussian blue nanoparticles using the cationic surfactant Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) as capping agent has been developed in the present work. Powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, UV–vis absorption spectra, and IR spectroscopy were employed to characterize the product. The TEM image showed that the Prussian blue nanoparticles with d...

متن کاملReversible hydrogen gas uptake in nanoporous Prussian Blue analogues.
The family of dehydrated nanoporous Prussian Blue analogues, M(II)3[Co(III)(CN)6]2 (M(II) = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd), which contain coordinatively unsaturated divalent metal cations, undergoes reversible sorption of hydrogen gas up to 1.2 wt% (at 77 K, 101.3 kPa), the capacity of which depends on the metal ion.
