    Journal: Front Chem; 2018; 6():115. PubMed ID: 29719819.
    Abstract:
    The effects of Zn2+ incorporation on the phase formation, thermal expansion, phase transition, and vibrational properties of HfMg1-x Zn x Mo3O12 are investigated by XRD, dilatometry, and Raman spectroscopy. The results show that (i) single phase formation is only possible for x ≤ 0.5, otherwise, additional phases of HfMo2O8 and ZnMoO4 appear; (ii) The phase transition temperature from monoclinic to orthorhombic structure of the single phase HfMg1-x Zn x Mo3O12 can be well-tailored, which increases with the content of Zn2+; (iii) The incorporation of Zn2+ leads to an pronounced reduction in the positive expansion of the b-axis and an enhanced negative thermal expansion (NTE) in the c-axes, leading to a near-zero thermal expansion (ZTE) property with lower anisotropy over a wide temperature range; (iv) Replacement of Mg2+ by Zn2+ weakens the Mo-O bonds as revealed by obvious red shifts of all the Mo-O stretching modes with increasing the content of Zn2+ and improves the sintering performance of the samples which is observed by SEM. The mechanisms of the negative and near-ZTE are discussed.
