Abstract:
SF6 has been utilized widely as an electrical insulation medium because of its excellent arc extinguishing performance and insulation characteristics. In this paper, the adsorption property of two kinds of key SF6 carbon-containing decomposition components (CS2 and COF2) on nitrogen-doped anatase TiO2(101) (N-TiO2) surfaces was simulated and analyzed based on density functional theory. The results demonstrated that N-TiO2 shows good gas sensitivity toward CS2 with the increase of conductivity but is insensitive toward COF2. In addition, the gas-sensing property of CS2 on N-TiO2 is stronger than that of COF2. This work provides the theoretical information on such a gas-sensitive material for key SF6 carbon-containing decomposition components, supporting its utilization as a chemical sensor applied in condition monitoring and defect diagnosis in SF6 gas-insulated equipment based on decomposition component analysis.

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
02:19Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
