X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of aluminium-substituted tobermorite
AbstractWe have synthesised 11-Å tobermorite hydrothermally, both pure and with increasing isomorphic substitution of aluminium for silicon. The samples were analysed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Aluminium was found, on the basis of its Al 2p binding energies, to be tetrahedrally coordinated. We observed no changes in Ca/(Si+Al) ratio upon aluminium substitution, implying that charge balancing does not occur via the incorporation of additional calcium into the tobermorite structure. Aluminium substitution into the silicate structure led to a decrease in Si 2p binding energies. This implies one of two alternatives. Firstly, that charge balancing occurs via substitution of OH− for O2− in the tobermorite structure. Secondly, the presence of aluminium in the tobermorite structure may negatively influence the degree of silicate polymerisation. Further work is required to determine which of these possibilities is the case.
