Abstract

International audience; Crystal structures can strongly deviate from bulk states when confined into nanodomains. These deviations may deeply affect properties and reactivity and then call for a close examination. In this work, we address the case where extended crystal defects spread through a whole solid and then yield an aperiodic structure and specific reactivity. We focus on iron boride, α-FeB, whose structure has not been elucidated yet, thus hindering the understanding of its properties. We synthesize the two known phases, α-FeB and β-FeB, in molten salts at 600 and 1100 °C, respectively. The experimental X-ray diffraction (XRD) data cannot be satisfactorily accounted for by a periodic crystal structure. We then model the compound as a stochastic assembly of layers of two structure types. Refinement of the powder XRD pattern by considering the explicit scattering interference of the different layers allows quantitative evaluation of the size of these domains and of the stacking faults between them. We, therefore, demonstrate that α-FeB is an intergrowth of nanometer-thick slabs of two structure types, β-FeB and CrB-type structures, in similar proportions. We finally discuss the implications of this novel structure on the reactivity of the material and its ability to perform insertion reactions by comparing the reactivities of α-FeB and β-FeB as reagents in the synthesis of a model layered material: Fe2AlB2. Using synchrotron-based in situ X-ray diffraction, we elucidate the mechanisms of the formation of Fe2AlB2. We highlight the higher reactivity of the intergrowth α-FeB in agreement with structural relationships.

Abstract

International audience; Boron-rich solids exhibit specific crystal structures and unique properties, which are only very scarcely addressed in nanoparticles. In this work, we address the original inorganic structural chemistry and reactivity of boron-rich nanoparticles, by reporting the first occurrence of sodium carbaboride nanocrystals based on the NaB 5 C crystal structure. To design these sub-10 nm nano-objects, we use liquid-phase synthesis in molten salts at 900°C. By combining a set of characterization tools including powder Xray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance coupled to DFT modeling, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we demonstrate that these nanocrystals deviate from the ideal stoichiometry reported for the bulk compound. We suggest that the carbon and sodium contents compensate each other to ensure that the octahedral cluster-based framework is stabilized by fulfilling an electron counting rule. These nanocrystals encompass substituted octahedral covalent structural building units not reported in the related bulk compound. They then shed new light on the ability of nanoparticles to host wide solid solution ranges in covalent solids and then to yield new solids. We finally show that these nanocrystals are efficient single sources of boron and carbon to form a nanostructured boron carbide, thus paving the way to new nanostructured materials.
