Article Synopsis
  • Iron shows promise as a non-toxic energy carrier for long-term energy storage, but detailed knowledge of its oxidation kinetics for micrometer-sized particles is limited.
  • This study uses temperature-programmed oxidation and boron nitride dilution to prevent sintering, allowing investigation of individual particle behavior during oxidation.
  • Findings reveal that iron oxidation follows a parabolic rate law, with key data on phase compositions and rate constants obtained, emphasizing the importance of particle size distribution in modeling oxidation kinetics.

The crystal structures of the isomorphous title compounds, namely potassium zinc hydrogen pyrophosphate dihydrate and potassium manganese hydrogen pyrophosphate dihydrate, consist of acidic pyrophosphate-metallate(II) layers joined by K(+) ions and hydrogen-bridging bonds. The Zn(2+)/Mn(2+) ions are octahedrally surrounded by four pyrophosphate O atoms and by two water molecules. The (HP(2)O(7))(3-) anions exhibit eclipsed conformations.
