Synthesis and Mg 2+ deintercalation in manganese spinel nanocrystals

Transition metal oxides are promising materials as cathodes for divalent batteries with high capacity under high voltage. A major challenge is the sluggish kinetics of intercalation of divalent cations into the oxide host. Tailoring of the size, composition and crystal structure of oxides is a necessary strategy to alleviate these barriers, which challenges our control of their synthesis. In this work, we selectively synthesize spinel-type Mg x Mn 3-x O 4 nanocrystals with different Mg/Mn ratios and investigate their ability to electrochemically shuttle Mg 2+ ions. Crystal-chemical characterization of the reaction outcomes was conducted with X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and elemental analysis. Both 5 nm thick MgMn 2 O 4 nanosheets and 10 nm Mg 0.41 Mn 2.59 O 4 nanocubes underwent reversible Mg 2+ deintercalation, yet no obvious reaction was observed in 60 nm Mg 1.2 Mn 1.8 O 4 nanocubes. Our results suggest that both the size of the spinel nanocrystals and the Mg/Mn ratios play a role in the observed behaviour. The advances in the synthesis of spinel oxide nanocrystals achieved, and their correlation with Mg 2+ deintercalation, pave the way toward the precise synthesis of multivalent cathode materials that fundamentally overcome barriers to practical application.

Predicting a Key Catalyst-Performance Descriptor for Supported Metal Nanoparticles: Metal Chemical Potential

The chemical potential of metal atoms in supported nanoparticles provides a convenient descriptor of their performance as heterogeneous catalysts that captures the effects of particle size, support and alloying. Based on microcalorimetric measurements, the chemical potential is shown in this work to be predictable as a function of monometallic particle diameter and the adhesion energy of the particle to the support, and, for oxide supports, this adhesion energy correlates predictably with metal oxophilicity. These correlations provide predictions of metal chemical potential that can enable catalyst design. They also suggest an improvement in the Gibbs-Thomson relation for free-standing nanoparticles, whether metals or molecular solids.

Resolving Atomic-Scale Structure and Chemical Coordination in High-Entropy Alloy Electrocatalysts for Structure–Function Relationship Elucidation

The recent breakthrough in confining five or more atomic species in nanocatalysts, referred to as high-entropy alloy nanocatalysts (HEAs), has revealed the possibilities of multielemental interactions that can surpass the limitations of binary and ternary electrocatalysts. The wide range of potential surface configurations in HEAs, however, presents a significant challenge in resolving active structural motifs, preventing the establishment of structure-function relationships for rational catalyst design and optimization. Here, we present a methodology for creating sub-5 nm HEAs using an aqueous-based peptide-directed route. Using a combination of pair distribution function and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, HEA structure models are constructed from reverse Monte Carlo modeling of experimental data sets and showcase a clear peptide-induced influence on atomic-structure and chemical miscibility. Coordination analysis of our structure models facilitated the construction of structure-function correlations applied to electrochemical methanol oxidation reactions, revealing the complex interplay between multiple metals that leads to improved catalytic properties. Our results showcase a viable strategy for elucidating structure-function relationships in HEAs, prospectively providing a pathway for future materials design.

Electronic and structural properties of RbCe X 2 ( X 2 : O 2 , S 2 , SeS, Se 2 , TeSe, Te 2 )

We report triangular lattice delafossite compounds built from magnetic lanthanide ions are a topic of recent interest due to their frustrated magnetism and realization of quantum disordered magnetic ground states. Here we report the evolution of the structure and electronic ground states of RbCeX 2 compounds, built from a triangular lattice of Ce 3+ ions, upon varying their anion character (X 2 =O 2 , S 2 , SeS, Se 2 , TeSe, Te 2 ). This includes the discovery of a new member of this series, RbCeO 2 , that potentially realizes a quantum disordered ground state analogous to NaYbO 2 . Magnetization and susceptibility measurements reveal that all compounds manifest mean-field antiferromagnetic interactions and, with the exception of the oxide, possess signatures of magnetic correlations onset below 1 K. The crystalline electric field level scheme is explored via neutron scattering and ab initio calculations in order to model the intramultiplet splitting of the J=5/2 multiplet. In addition to the two excited doublets expected within the J=5/2 manifold, we observe one extra local mode present across the sample series. This added mode shifts downward in energy with increasing anion mass and decreasing crystal field strength, suggesting a long-lived anomalous mode endemic to anion motion about the Ce3 + sites.

Probing the electronic properties of gap states near the surface of n -SrTiO 3-δ / i -Si (001) heterojunctions with high sensitivity

We have measured soft x-ray resonant photoemission for the n–SrTiO 3–δ /i–Si⁡(001) (δ=~0.0003) hybrid semiconductor heterojunction with the goal of probing occupied electronic states in the band gap near the surface. By utilizing both swept energy, angle-integrated and fixed-energy, and angle-resolved spectroscopies, we identify the atomic and orbital character of the in-gap state as well as the different electronic phases that contribute to it. Specifically, we isolate the state associated with trapped charge on the n–SrTiO 3–δ surface that causes surface depletion from the localized gap state resulting from electron correlation effects in the complex oxide. Using an x-ray energy close to select dipole allowed TiL 3 → 3⁢d x-ray absorption resonances results in a 40-fold increase in sensitivity. Furthermore, this feature makes photoemission possible when probing electrons from dopants at concentrations as low as a few hundredths of a percent.

Operando XPS in reactive plasmas: The importance of the wall reactions

In this article, advancements in differential pumping and electron optics over the past few decades have enabled x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements at (near-)ambient pressures, bridging the pressure gap for characterizing realistic sample chemistries. Recently, we have demonstrated the capabilities of an ambient pressure XPS setup for in situ plasma environment measurements, allowing plasma-surface interactions to be studied in operando rather than using the traditional before-and-after analysis approach. This new “plasma-XPS” technique facilitates the identification of reaction intermediates critical for understanding plasma-assisted surface processes relevant to semiconductor nanomanufacturing, such as physical vapor deposition, etching, atomic layer deposition, and many other plasma applications. In this paper, we apply the plasma-XPS approach to monitor real-time surface chemical changes on a model Ag(111) single crystal exposed to oxidizing and reducing plasmas. We correlate surface-sensitive data with concurrent gas-phase XPS measurements and residual gas mass-spectrum analysis of species generated during plasma exposure, highlighting the significant role of plasma-induced chamber wall reactions. Ultimately, we demonstrate that plasma-XPS provides comprehensive insights into both surface and gas-phase chemistry, establishing it as a versatile and dynamic characterization tool with broad applications in microelectronics research. Finally, we outline potential enhancements and future metrology directions to advance plasma-XPS investigations further.

Low Cost, High Volume, Carbon Fiber Precursor for Plasma Oxidation

Light weighting with carbon fiber is critical to improving the energy efficiency of wind turbines, airplanes, and automobiles, but the high cost of carbon fiber continues to limit market growth and applications. Half of this cost is in the raw materials. For the carbon fiber market to reach the next level of adoption, the cost of both the raw materials and conversion must be reduced. This project considered the combination of low-cost, textile-grade precursors combined with the increased efficiency of plasma oxidation to greatly reduce the cost of carbon fiber. The primary objective of this project was to make industrial-grade carbon fiber (550 ksi tensile strength, 35 Msi tensile modulus) from textile-grade PAN precursors, something that cannot be achieved with conventional oxidation and to date has not been achieved with any technology. To accomplish this, the project team iteratively optimized the process conditions in the plasma oxidation and carbonization stages to maximize the tensile properties of the resultant carbon fibers. This involved implementing experimental designs for both stages, whereby process conditions (e.g. temperature) were varied and correlated to fiber properties. Samples of oxidized PAN fibers (OPFs) were prepared using a small pilot-scale plasma oxidation oven at 4XTechnologies (4XT). The thermal, chemical, and physical properties of OPF samples were analyzed by the University of Tennessee (UTK) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The OPF samples were then converted to carbon fiber by subsequent low- and high-temperature carbonization using a lab-scale furnace at ORNL. The resultant carbon fibers were tested for tensile strength also at ORNL, and the results were fed back into the experimental design. Of the hundreds of carbon fiber samples produced over the course of the project, the best sample had an average break strength of 479 ksi and modulus of 33 Msi. While the best tensile properties achieved fell short of the final project targets of 550 ksi for break strength and 35 Msi for modulus, the team demonstrated the potential to produce industrial-grade carbon fiber using textile-grade precursors. The best performing fiber samples had tensile properties that are 87% of the goal for tensile strength and 94% of the goal for tensile modulus. With additional optimization work, it is likely that the targets could be achieved, since only a fraction of the process parameter space was explored during this project. 4XT and its affiliate (4M) have already secured funding through private equity, and there is a CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement) project currently underway with the Carbon Fiber Technology Center (CFTF) at ORNL to continue this research. Additionally, while not an original goal of the project, the carbon fibers for most samples had diameters >8.5μm. This is considerably larger than commercially available carbon fiber products, which can impart unique properties to the composites (e.g. increased compressive strength) and decrease manufacturing costs even further. Moreover, these fibers were oxidized with plasma oxidation using residence times ranging <60mins, which would be considered fast for normal diameter fibers, but it is as much as 5x faster when factoring in the diameter of the fibers.

Mechanistic Studies to Enable Aerobic Oxidation of C-H Bonds by Manganese Catalysts (Final Report)

The project Mechanistic Studies to Enable Aerobic Oxidation of C-H Bonds by Manganese Catalysts provided fundamental new insight into the factors affecting hydrocarbon oxidation reactions by manganese-oxo complexes. These insights stem from the development of a structure-function relationship, whereby particular molecular properties of manganese(IV)-oxo complexes were shown to correlate to their efficacy in hydrocarbon oxidation reactions. This work is important, as manganese oxidation catalysts have seen increasing use in synthetic transformations, including reactions relevant to the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other value-added chemicals. The desirability of developing new manganese catalysts stems from the inexpensive nature and low toxicity of the metal manganese, which contrasts with the high cost and toxicity of many other metals. The work carried out by this project was disseminated to the scientific community in the form of 14 peer-reviewed publications and over twenty presentations. In addition, the research results were incorporated into graduate and undergraduate courses at the University of Kansas, providing additional means of dissemination.

Surface Analysis Insight Note: Observations relating to photoemission peak shapes, oxidation state, and chemistry of titanium oxide films

It is common practice to describe the coordination of metal atoms in a binding configuration with their nearest neighbors in terms of oxidation state, a measure by which the number of electrons redistributed between atoms forming chemical bonds. In XPS terms, change to an oxidation state is commonly inferred by correlating photoemission signal with binding energy. The assumption, when classifying photoemission signals into distinct spectral shapes, is that a distribution of intensities shifted to lower binding energy is evidence of a reduction in oxidation state. In this Insight note, we raise the prospect that changes in photoemission peak shape may occur without obvious changes, determined by XPS in stoichiometry for a material. It is well known that TiO 2 measured by XPS yields reproducible Ti 2p photoemission peaks. However, on exposing TiO 2 to ion beams, Ti 2p photoemission evolves to complex distributions in intensity, which are particularly difficult to analyze by traditional fitting of bell-shaped curves to these data. For these reasons, in this Insight note, a thin film of TiO 2 deposited on a silicon substrate is chosen for analysis by XPS and linear algebraic techniques. Alterations in spectral shapes created from modified TiO 2 , which might be interpreted as the change in oxidation state, are assessed in terms of relative proportions of titanium to oxygen. It is found through detailed analysis of spectra that quantification by XPS, using procedures routinely used in practice, is not in accord with the typical interpretations of photoemission shapes. The data processing methods used and results presented in this work are of particular relevance to elucidating fundamental phenomena governing the surface evolution of materials-enabled energy processes where cyclic/non-steady usage changes the nature of bonding, especially in the presence of contaminants.

Signatures of cysteine oxidation on muscle structural and contractile proteins are associated with physical performance and muscle function in older adults: Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging (SOMMA)

Oxidative stress is considered a contributor to declining muscle function and mobility during aging; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly described. We hypothesized that greater levels of cysteine (Cys) oxidation on muscle proteins are associated with decreased measures of mobility. Herein, we applied a novel redox proteomics approach to measure reversible protein Cys oxidation in vastus lateralis muscle biopsies collected from 56 subjects in the Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging (SOMMA), a community-based cohort study of individuals aged 70 years and older. We tested whether levels of Cys oxidation on key muscle proteins involved in muscle structure and contraction were associated with muscle function (leg power and strength), walking speed, and fitness (VO 2 peak on cardiopulmonary exercise testing) using linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, and body weight. Higher oxidation levels of select nebulin Cys sites were associated with lower VO 2 peak, while greater oxidation of myomesin-1, myomesin-2, and nebulin Cys sites was associated with slower walking speed. Higher oxidation of Cys sites in key proteins such as myomesin-2, alpha-actinin-2, and skeletal muscle alpha-actin were associated with lower leg power and strength. We also observed an unexpected correlation (R = 0.48) between a higher oxidation level of eight Cys sites in alpha-actinin-3 and stronger leg power. Despite this observation, the results generally support the hypothesis that Cys oxidation of muscle proteins impairs muscle power and strength, walking speed, and cardiopulmonary fitness with aging.

Gate control of electron correlations towards Mott field effect transistors (MottFET)

The modulation of channel conductance in field-effect transistors (FETs) via metal-insulator-semiconductor structures has revolutionized information processing and storage. However, the limitations of silicon-based FETs in electrical switching have driven the search for new materials capable of overcoming these constraints. Electrostatic gating of competing electronic phases in a Mott material near its metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) offers the prospects of substantial modulation of the conducting electrons and electrical resistivity through small changes in band filling. While electrostatic control of the MIT has been previously reported, the advancement of Mott materials toward novel Mott-based transistors, MottFETs requires the realization of their unique physical properties in a solid-state device. In this study, we present gate control of electron correlation using a solid-state device utilizing the oxide Mott system La 1-x Sr x VO 3 as a correlated FET channel. We report on a gate resistance response that cannot be explained in a purely electrostatic framework. This behavior suggests an enhancement in effective mass and a reduction in effective carrier density as the system approaches its insulating state, consistent with theoretical predictions for Mott systems, suggesting at least 100× charge gain originating from the correlated behavior. These preliminary results pave the way toward the development of highly efficient, low-power electronic devices that could surpass the performance bottlenecks of conventional FETs by leveraging the electronic phase transitions of correlated electron systems.

Reactive iron, not fungal community, drives organic carbon oxidation potential in floodplain soils

Wetlands host ∼20% of terrestrial organic carbon and serve as a major sink for atmospheric carbon. Anoxic soils and sediments accrue soil organic carbon (SOC) partly by hampering the activity of extracellular oxidative enzymes that break down phenolic polymers. Upon aeration, fungal-driven oxidative enzymatic depolymerization and microbial respiration of released monomers ensue. Redox-active metals can simultaneously catalyze abiotic nonspecific oxidation of SOC, notable examples including Mn(III) or Fe(II) through Fenton-like, hydrogen peroxide-catalyzed oxidative radical production. However, the extent of reactive metal contributions to biotic and abiotic SOC degradation is not understood in the context of natural environments with diverse redox chemistry. We tested the relative contributions of fungi, Mn(III) and Fe(II) to phenolic substrate (L-DOPA) oxidation in floodplain soils representing a range of transient redox conditions driven by permanent vs. periodic flooding. Phenol oxidative potential was highest in permanently flooded soils with fewer fungal taxa known for observed (per)oxidase activity and instead correlated with HCl-extractable Fe(II), Fe(total) and Fe(II)/Fe(total), suggesting a specific role of Fe(II). Fe(II) additions enhanced phenol oxidative potential in sterilized and non-sterilized soils in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, indicating abiotic Fe-mediated radical chemistry could significantly enhance wetland SOC oxidative depolymerization throughout redox-active floodplain soils. Fungal community composition did not correlate to phenol oxidative potential overall and only more oxic soils adjacent to the river with diverse fungal communities showed declining oxidative potential after sterilization. Mn(III) addition did not significantly enhance phenol oxidative potential across all soils, although it appeared to drive fungal-mediated oxidative potential in the most aerated floodplain soils. Understanding how metals mediate SOC depolymerization as abiotic oxidants or microbially-harnessed enzyme cofactors and substrates in soils under variable hydrologic controls will improve our ability to represent depolymerization in terrestrial carbon models in wetland and other frequently saturated soils.

High-temperature oxidation behavior of the SiC layer of TRISO particles in low-pressure oxygen

Surrogate tristructural-isotropic (TRISO)-coated fuel particles were oxidized in 0.2 kPa O 2 at 1200–1600°C to examine the behavior of the SiC layer and understand the mechanisms. The thickness and microstructure of the resultant SiO 2 layers were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, focused ion beam, and transmission electron microscopy. The majority of the surface comprised smooth, amorphous SiO 2 with a constant thickness indicative of passive oxidation. The apparent activation energy for oxide growth was 188 ± 8 kJ/mol and consistent across all temperatures in 0.2 kPa O 2 . The relationship between activation energy and oxidation mechanism is discussed. Raised nodules of porous, crystalline SiO 2 were dispersed across the surface, suggesting that active oxidation and redeposition occurred in those locations. These nodules were correlated with clusters of nanocrystalline SiC grains, which may facilitate active oxidation. So these findings suggest that microstructural inhomogeneities such as irregular grain size influence the oxidation response of the SiC layer of TRISO particles and may influence their accident tolerance.

Consequence Analysis of Residual Water in a Storage Canister - 20484

Recent observations from projects sponsored under the DOE-Nuclear Energy Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition campaign show that residual free water, well above the 0.4 gm-moles that correspond to a 3 torr rebound pressure after a 30-minute hold following prototypic drying, may remain within SNF canisters used for long-term dry storage. Specifically, experimental observations in an Integrated Research Project showed subzero temperatures and a local pocket of frozen water in a mockup fuel assembly subjected to an industry practiced drying process. In gas sampling and analysis from the High Burnup (HBU) Demonstration project, using a fully loaded and dried SNF canister, indicated presence of 100 g of residual water had remained in the canister. The effects of residual water in terms of potential adverse impacts on the condition of the SNF and the canister internals during long-term dry storage has been rigorously evaluated to address inadvertent residual water contents. The impact of residual water on the fuel and canister internals, with a focus on the oxidation of the cladding and of postulated exposed (breached-clad) fuel, were evaluated using an integrated set of time-dependent environmental conditions with semi-empirical materials oxidation models. An 'integration model,' with coupled sub-models, developed and previously used by the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analysis (CNWRA), was applied and expanded with improved sub-models for water radiolysis, and for cladding and fuel oxidations. Cladding oxidation models for various alloys were developed using the rate constants for various cladding alloys in the dry storage temperature range. A burnup-dependent fuel oxidation model was developed; it accounted for inhibition effect of fission products on fuel oxidation rates. The potential for extension of the initial breach flaw (1 mm hole) was evaluated by two separate mechanics criteria. In the first case, a critical cladding strain criterion was used. In the second case, a critical stress intensity was used to evaluate stability of a planar axial flaw postulate. A failure condition exists when a sufficient amount of fuel oxidation (at the postulated breached-clad location) causes fuel pellet swelling to load the cladding to meet a mechanics criterion for flaw extension. The integration model's results provide the following insights. The radiolysis-generated oxygen is consumed with a partitioning between the cladding and the fuel. The extent of cladding oxidation is no more than 2 μm additional consumption of the cladding metal even with 10 moles of residual water, indicating that changes in cladding conditions due to water are expected to be negligible. The conditions for cladding failure (breach opening size extension) directly correlates with the extent of fuel oxidation. Fuel oxidation significant to extend the breach could occur even with 5.5 moles of residual water. The results indicate that fuel oxidation vis-a-vis cladding oxidation is more likely under a higher radiation field, i.e., when radiolytic decomposition of the residual water occurs in few years compared to several decades, and that the conditions to cause failure are increased with fuel and cladding temperatures approaching the peak storage temperature limit of 400 deg.

Observations of gas-phase products from the nitrate-radical-initiated oxidation of four monoterpenes

Abstract. Chemical ionization mass spectrometry with the nitrate reagent ion (NO3- CIMS) was used to investigate the products of the nitrate radical (NO3) initiated oxidation of four monoterpenes in laboratory chamber experiments. α-Pinene, β-pinene, Δ-3-carene, and α-thujene were studied. The major gas-phase species produced in each system were distinctly different, showing the effect of monoterpene structure on the oxidation mechanism and further elucidating the contributions of these species to particle formation and growth. By comparing groupings of products based on the ratios of elements in the general formula CwHxNyOz, the relative importance of specific mechanistic pathways (fragmentation, termination, and radical rearrangement) can be assessed for each system. Additionally, the measured time series of the highly oxidized reaction products provide insights into the ratio of relative production and loss rates of the high-molecular-weight products of the Δ-3-carene system. The measured effective O:C ratios of reaction products were anticorrelated with new particle formation intensity and number concentration for each system; however, the monomer : dimer ratios of products had a small positive trend. Gas-phase yields of oxidation products measured by NO3- CIMS correlated with particle number concentrations for each monoterpene system, with the exception of α-thujene, which produced a considerable amount of low-volatility products but no particles. Species-resolved wall loss was measured with NO3- CIMS and found to be highly variable among oxidized reaction products in our stainless steel chamber.

The Dynamics of Oxygen Ion Exchange in Epitaxial Strontium Cobaltite Bilayers

Abstract The exchange of ions across interfaces is key to the field of iontronics, where the properties of the device can be altered by the local ion concentration. This study investigates a complex oxide system where structural and electronic phase transitions can be driven by changes in the concentration of oxygen ions. In situ coherent X‐ray studies are conducted on epitaxial bilayers of insulating SrCoO 2.5 and metallic SrCoO 3 − δ . The diffusion of oxygen ions across the bilayer is studied with X‐ray photon correlation spectroscopy to capture the dynamical behavior of the interface in reducing and oxidizing environments. The behavior is strongly asymmetric, with much slower dynamics appearing in reducing versus oxidizing environments. According to the correlation functions determined from different points in reciprocal space, this study finds that the dynamics near the center of the SrCoO 2.5 crystal are generally similar to those near the heterointerfaces. The results suggest that the interface is stable and reversible, making SrCoO x a model system for the study of iontronic behavior.

Discovery of charge density wave in a kagome lattice antiferromagnet

A hallmark of strongly correlated quantum materials is the rich phase diagram resulting from competing and intertwined phases with nearly degenerate ground state energies. A well-known example is the copper oxides, where a charge density wave (CDW) is ordered well above and strongly coupled to the magnetic order to form spin-charge separated stripes that compete with superconductivity. Recently, such rich phase diagrams have also been revealed in correlated topological materials. In two-dimensional kagome lattice metals consisting of corner-sharing triangles, the geometry of the lattice can produce flat bands with localized electrons, non-trivial topology, chiral magnetic order, superconductivity and CDW order. While CDW has been found in weakly electron correlated nonmagnetic AV 3 Sb 5 (A = K, Rb, Cs), it has not yet been observed in correlated magnetic ordered kagome lattice metals. Here we report the discovery of CDW within the antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordered phase of kagome lattice FeGe. The CDW in FeGe occurs at wavevectors identical to that of AV 3 Sb 5 , enhances the AFM ordered moment, and induces an emergent anomalous Hall effect. Furthermore, our findings suggest that CDW in FeGe arises from the combination of electron correlations-driven AFM order and van Hove singularities-driven instability possibly associated with a chiral flux phase, in stark contrast to strongly correlated copper oxides and nickelates, where the CDW precedes or accompanies the magnetic order.
