Tungstates with a molecular formula A2W3O12 exhibits a wider negative thermal expansion (NTE) temperature range than molybdates but are challenging to synthesize, especially when A = Fe or Cr with metastable structures. To enhance the structural stability of Fe2W3O12, Sc with lower electronegativity is adopted to substitute Fe according to Fe2−xScxW3O12, considering the thermodynamic stability of Sc2W3O12. It is shown that the solid solutions can be easily synthesized and the phase transition temperature (PTT) can be tuned to well below room temperature (RT). Theoretical calculations and experimental results show that the formation energy decreases and the W–O bond in Fe–O–W gradually strengthens as the substitution of Sc in Fe2−xScxW3O12 increases, indicating an increase in structural stability. NTE is enhanced after phase transition with an increase in the Sc content. The reduction in PTT and the enhancement in NTE properties of Fe2W3O12 could result in a decrease in the effective electronegativity of the Fe-site elements, resulting in a low formation energy and strengthened W–O bond in Fe–O–W, which corresponds to a more stable structure.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
