Surface Chemistry of Fe Oxide Impregnated Porous Vycor Glass
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
X-ray absorption and Mossbauer spectroscopy were used to study chemical and magnetic properties of photodeposited Fe in Porous Vycor Glass(PVG). Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure(EXAFS) measurements of Fe samples show that after photolyzation, the Fe atoms are surrounded by two shells of six oxygen atoms and eight Fe atoms. The Fe-O and Fe-Fe distances are 1.84 °A and 1.99 °A respectively. After heating to 650 °C and 1200 °C shortening of bond lengths are observed. The second shell of Fe in unheated and heated to 650 °C samples have Fe-Fe distances of 3.0 °A and 2.98 °A respectively. Samples consolidated at 1200 °C show the Fe atoms to be surrounded by two shells of Fe atoms at 2.86 and 3.03 °A. This data together with Mossbauer and XANES spectra suggest that Fe exists in two different configrations, one is an Fe-Fe compound and the other is an octahedral Fe oxide similar to Fe2O3.
