Hydration of Cement01:24

Hydration of Cement

998
Hydration of cement is a chemical reaction between cement particles and water. This process occurs primarily through two mechanisms: through-solution and topochemical. In the through-solution process, anhydrous compounds dissolve into their constituents, hydrates form in the solution, and then precipitate from the supersaturated solution. The topochemical process involves solid-state reactions at the cement particle surface. The through-solution process dominates the topochemical process at the...

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I03:24

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

68.1K
The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

Ionic Crystal Structures02:42

Ionic Crystal Structures

18.2K
Ionic crystals consist of two or more different kinds of ions that usually have different sizes. The packing of these ions into a crystal structure is more complex than the packing of metal atoms that are the same size.
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.3K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Alkali Aggregate Reaction in Concrete01:26

Alkali Aggregate Reaction in Concrete

573
The alkali-aggregate reaction in concrete involves natural siliceous minerals in aggregates reacting with alkaline hydroxides derived from cement alkalis. This reaction forms an alkali-silica gel that absorbs water, swells, and increases in volume, which is confined by the surrounding cement paste, creating internal pressures that crack and disrupt the concrete. The extent of expansion and damage can be partly attributed to the alkali-silica reaction's osmotic hydraulic pressure and the...

Aldehydes and Ketones with Water: Hydrate Formation01:20

Aldehydes and Ketones with Water: Hydrate Formation

5.0K
An oxygen-based nucleophile, like water, can undergo addition reactions with aldehydes and ketones. The reaction leads to the formation of hydrates, also referred to as 1,1-diols or geminal diols.
The formation of hydrates is a reversible reaction. Hydrate formation is influenced by steric and electronic factors accompanying the alkyl substituents on the carbonyl group: The rate of hydrate formation increases with a decrease in the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon. Hence,...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Inorganic Chemistry

Background:

  • Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are versatile materials with applications in catalysis, adsorption, and drug delivery.
  • Core-shell nanostructures offer unique properties by combining the functionalities of different materials.
  • Controlling the morphology and growth of LDH shells on various cores is crucial for tailored applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize silica@layered double hydroxides (SiO2@Mg2Al-CO3-AMO-LDHs) core-shell nanostructures.
  • To systematically investigate the effects of synthesis parameters on material properties.
  • To understand the formation mechanism of vertically aligned LDH platelets on silica cores.

Main Methods:

  • In situ precipitation of Mg2Al-CO3-LDH onto amorphous silica particles (∼500 nm) at room temperature.
  • Systematic variation of stirring speed and metal solution addition rate.
  • Characterization of composition, morphology, and physical properties of the synthesized materials.

Main Results:

  • Moderate stirring speeds (e.g., 500 rpm) promoted the formation of vertically aligned LDH platelets on silica surfaces.
  • Slow addition rates of metal solutions (< 0.43 mmol h⁻¹) resulted in thicker LDH shells with aligned platelets.
  • Rapid addition rates (0.86 mmol h⁻¹) led to thin shells and significant precipitation of unbound LDH.

Conclusions:

  • Synthesis parameters critically influence the morphology and shell thickness of SiO2@LDH core-shell materials.
  • Controlled precipitation conditions are essential for achieving well-defined, vertically aligned LDH shells.
  • The findings provide insights for designing advanced core-shell nanostructures with tunable properties.
