Basic scientific achievements:
In the scientific literature of recent years, there is practically no information on the effect of the second component on the radiation-catalytic and surface physicochemical properties of nano-ZrO₂ – nano-SiO₂ binary systems. Therefore, the kinetics and mechanism of hydrogen formation in the heterogeneous radiolysis of water were studied depending on the ratio of components in the n-ZrO₂ + n-SiO₂ system.
The kinetics and mechanism of molecular hydrogen formation during the decomposition of water on the surface of the n-ZrO₂ + n-SiO₂ system at different temperatures (T = 373 ÷ 673K) were studied. High yields of molecular hydrogen were observed upon splitting water on the surface of the n-ZrO₂ + n-SiO₂ system with the combined effect of gamma radiation and temperature. It has been established that high yields are associated with high catalytic activity of n-ZrO₂, participation of non-equilibrium charge carriers and secondary electron irradiation from the n-ZrO₂. It was revealed that the formation of a new phase in the n-ZrO₂ + n-SiO₂ system causes an increase in the particle size, which affects the radiation-catalytic activity of this system. The addition of n-SiO₂ to n-ZrO₂ causes a decrease in the radiation-catalytic activity of the n-ZrO₂ + n-SiO₂ system.
- The kinetic regularities of molecular hydrogen formation during the radiation-heterogeneous processes in the ZrO₂ + H₂O_ads system under the influence of gamma irradiation were revealed. It was established that the rate of formation and yield of molecular hydrogen in the case of ZrO₂ suspension in water is 6÷6.5 times higher than in the case of water adsorbed on the surface of ZrO₂. This proves that when nano-ZrO₂ particles are surrounded by water molecules, the energy carriers formed (electrons, holes, excited states - excitons) are actively involved in the decomposition of water molecules. The water+suspended nano-ZrO₂ system can be proposed as an effective method of radiolytic decomposition of water with the participation of nano-ZrO₂.
- It was revealed that the yield of molecular hydrogen both in the ZrO₂+H₂O_ads system and in the case of ZrO₂ suspension in water increases with decreasing particle sizes of nano-ZrO₂. This means that the particle sizes of the nano-ZrO₂ samples under study are comparable with the mean free path of the energy carriers formed in them. Therefore, the size effect is manifested in radiation-heterogeneous processes occurring in both systems.
- The effect of temperature on radiation-heterogeneous processes in the ZrO₂ + H₂O_ads system was studied. It was found that at T≥373K, centers on the surface of nano-ZrO₂ (coordination-unsaturated ≡Zr•, =ZrO•, =ZrO* and etc.) are activated, with the participation of which thermal splitting of water occurs with the formation of hydrogen. Under identical conditions, the kinetics of the formation of molecular hydrogen during radiation-thermal and thermal decomposition of water in the ZrO₂ + H₂O_ads system was studied, the radiation component was revealed, and the dependence G (H₂) = f (T) was constructed. The activation energies in Arrhenius coordinates are calculated on the basis of the dependence W(H₂) = f(T). It is established that the activation energy of radiation-heterogeneous processes (E_RT = 25.2 kJ / mol) is lower than during thermal processes (ET = 38.5 kJ / mol). With an increase in temperature, thermally active centers on the surface are activated, and the transfer of energy carriers to the contact boundary is also accelerated, and therefore the output of hydrogen increases. Based on the data obtained, a mechanism of radiation-heterogeneous processes of water decomposition in the ZrO₂ + H₂O_ads and suspended nano-ZrO₂+water systems in the framework of the electrophysical model is proposed.
- In order to identify the mechanisms of thermal, radiation-thermal and radiation decomposition of water with the participation of nano-ZrO₂, the system was investigated by the method of IR Fourier spectroscopy. It was established that water is adsorbed on the surface of nanoparticles by molecular and dissociative mechanisms, and that during the process intermediate cleavage products are formed — OH hydroxyl groups, atomic hydrogen H, ion radicals (π– O₂^2- and O₂^2-) and hydrides (ZrH, ZrH₂). The mechanisms of the effect of the surface layer of water on the yield of intermediate products in the temperature range T = 300 ÷ 673K are revealed.
- In order to identify the role of nonequilibrium charge carriers in the process of radiation-heterogeneous decomposition of water with the participation of nano-ZrO₂, paramagnetic centers formed in the ZrO₂ + H₂O_ads system under the influence of gamma quanta were studied. The nature of these centers and the kinetics of formation were studied by the EPR method. It was revealed that at T = 77K, under the influence of gamma quanta, Zr⁺³, O₂^- - hole and F-electron centers are formed in nano-ZrO₂. Of these, O₂^--hole and F-electron centers are localized on the surface, and Zr⁺³ centers - in the bulk of nano-ZrO₂ particles. With increasing temperature from T = 77K to T = 300K, electrons and holes recombine, and Zr⁺³ centers are localized in a relatively stable state in volume. Due to the fact that g(O₂^-) = 2.0024 coincides with the g-factor of the F-center (g = 2.0023), their kinetic regularities were studied together and the energy yield of nonequilibrium charge carriers, which is equal to G(n.c.c)= 8.4 particles / 100 eV, was calculated on the basis of kinetic curves.
