Machine Learning Tools Set for Natural Gas Fuel Cell System Design

This study is focusing on leveraging the system design tools set for the next-generation solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) based natural gas fuel cell (NGFC) system. Conventionally, system design and optimization of NGFC systems rely heavily on traditional reduced order model (ROM) techniques and designers’ experience level. For overcoming the technical barriers of system design, multiple multi-physics models and machine learning (ML) tools have been utilized to automate the conceptual design process and enhance the reliability of solutions for the NGFC system. The proposed tools set includes a physics-informed ML tool for automated ROM construction that leverages advances in deep neural networks to significantly reduce ROM prediction error for the NGFC power island compared to traditional approaches. The constructed physics-informed ML ROM can be used in system design, and optimization tools set Institute for the Design of Advanced Energy Systems (IDAES) Process Systems Engineering (PSE) framework. The tools set also provides a user-friendly graphic user interface built within Jupyter Notebooks, and the complete tools set is open-source public available.

Control of internal transport barriers in magnetically confined tokamak burning plasmas

The initiation, termination, and control of internal transport barriers associated with E × B flow shear near local minima of magnetic shear are examined for burning plasmas to determine if the positive feedback loops between profiles, instability, transport, and flow shear operate in regimes with fusion self-heating. A five-field transport model for the evolution of profiles of density, ion and electron temperature, ion and electron fluctuations, and radial electric field is utilized to examine the efficacy of controls associated with external inputs of heat and particles, including neutral beam injection, RF, pellets, and gas puffing. The response of the plasma to these inputs is studied in the presence of self-heating. The latter is affected by the external inputs and their modification of profiles and is, therefore, not an external control. Provided sufficient external power is applied, internal transport barriers can be created and controlled, both in ion and electron channels. Barrier control is sensitive to the locations of power deposition and pellet ablation, as well as temporal sequencing of external inputs.

Toward Carbon Monoxide Methanation at Mild Conditions on Dual-Site Catalysts

The catalytic carbon monoxide (CO) methanation is an ideal model reaction for the fundamental understanding of catalysis on the gas–solid interface and is crucial for various industrial processes. However, the harsh operating conditions make the reaction unsustainable, and the limitations set by the scaling relations between the dissociation energy barrier and dissociative binding energy of CO further increase the difficulty in designing high-performance methanation catalysts operating under milder conditions. In this work, we proposed a theoretical strategy to circumvent the limitations elegantly and achieve both facile CO dissociation and C/O hydrogenation on the catalyst containing a confined dual site. The DFT-based microkinetic modeling (MKM) reveals that the designed Co-Cr 2 /G dual-site catalyst could provide 4–6 orders of magnitude higher turnover frequency for CH 4 production than the cobalt step sites. We believe that the proposed strategy in the current work will provide essential guidance for designing state-of-the-art methanation catalysts under mild conditions.

Low-cost thermal/environmental barrier coatings: A first-principles study

Development of low-cost advanced thermal/environmental barrier coating (T/EBC) materials with acceptable thermal and mechanical properties is essential for safeguarding ceramic composites substrate against thermal and chemical degradation, thereby enhancing the efficiency of components in the high-temperature section of gas turbine engines. To this end, here we employed density functional theory-based approaches to predict the thermodynamic, mechanical, and thermal properties of rare earth disilicates based on abundant rare earth elements, namely La 2 Si 2 O 7 and Ce 2 Si 2 O 7 , as potential alternatives to the current-state-of-the-art ytterbium disilicate EBCs that uses expensive and scarce element Yb. The present study predicts that G-phase Ce 2 Si 2 O 7 has an ultralow thermal conductivity (0.26 W/m/K at 1500 K) and the apparent bulk coefficient of thermal expansion (ABCTE) (≈6.9x10 -6 K -1 ) slightly higher than SiC, demonstrating great potential as low-cost high-performance T/EBC. However, La 2 Si 2 O 7 and Ce 2 Si 2 O 7 undergo an A- to G-phase polymorphic transition at around 1470 K, resulting in significant changes to crystal structure and lattice parameters, and accordingly CTE and lattice thermal conductivity.

The Preservation of Super-Earths and the Emergence of Gas Giants after Their Progenitor Cores Have Entered the Pebble-isolation Phase

The omnipresence of super-Earths suggests that they are able to be retained in natal disks around low-mass stars, whereas exoplanets' mass distributions indicate that some cores have transformed into gas giants through runaway gas accretion at ≳1 au from solar-type stars. In this paper, we show that transition to runaway gas accretion by cores may be self-impeded by an increase of the grain opacity in their envelope after they have acquired sufficient mass (typically ~ 10M ⊕ ) to enter a pebble-isolation phase. The accumulation of approximately millimeter- to meter-sized pebbles in their migration barriers enhances their local fragmentation rates. The freshly produced submillimeter grains pass through the barrier, elevate the effective dust opacity, and reduce the radiative flux in the core's envelope. These effects alone are adequate to suppress the transition to runaway accretion and preserve super-Earths in the stellar proximity (~0.1 au), albeit entropy advection between the envelope and the disk can further reduce the accretion rate. At an intermediate distance (~1 au) from their host stars, the escalation in the dust opacity dominates over entropy advection in stalling the transition to runaway accretion for marginally pebble-isolated cores. Beyond a few astronomical unit, the transformation of more-massive cores to gas giants is reachable before severe depletion of disk gas. This requirement can be satisfied either in extended disks with large scale height via orderly accretion of migrating pebbles or through the mergers of oligarchic protoplanetary embryos, and can account for the correlated occurrence of long-period gas giants and close-in super-Earths.

A low power flexible dielectric barrier discharge disinfects surfaces and improves the action of hydrogen peroxide

There is an urgent need for disinfection and sterilization devices accessible to the public that can be fulfilled by innovative strategies for using cold atmospheric pressure plasmas. Here, we demonstrate a successful novel combination of a flexible printed circuit design of a dielectric barrier discharge (flex-DBD) with an environmentally safe chemical reagent for surface decontamination from bacterial contaminants. Flex-DBD operates in ambient air, atmospheric pressure, and room temperature without any additional gas flow at a power density not exceeding 0.5 W/cm 2 . The flex-DBD activation of a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution results in the reduction in the bacterial load of a surface contaminant of > 6log 10 in 90 s, about 3log 10 and 2log 10 better than hydrogen peroxide alone or the flex-DBD alone, respectively, for the same treatment time. We propose that the synergy between plasma and hydrogen peroxide is based on the combined action of plasma-generated OH · radicals in the hydrogen peroxide solution and the reactive nitrogen species supplied by the plasma effluent. A scavenger method verified a significant increase in OH · concentration due to plasma treatment. Novel in-situ FTIR absorption spectra show the presence of O 3 , NO 2 , N 2 O, and other nitrogen species. Ozone dissolving in the H 2 O 2 solution can effectively generate OH · through a peroxone process. The addition of the reactive nitrogen species increases the disinfection efficiency of the hydroxyl radicals and other oxygen species. Hence, plasma activation of a low concentration hydrogen peroxide solution, using a hand-held flexible DBD device results in a dramatic improvement in disinfection.

How Well Can Quantum Embedding Method Predict the Reaction Profiles for Hydrogenation of Small Li Clusters?

Quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics in novel ways to tackle complex chemistry problems that cannot be accurately addressed using traditional quantum chemistry methods. However, the high computational cost and available number of physical qubits with high fidelity limit its application to small chemical systems. This work employed a quantum-classical framework which features a quantum active space-embedding approach to perform simulations of chemical reactions that require up to 14 qubits. This framework was applied to prototypical example metal hydrogenation reactions: the coupling between hydrogen and Li 2 , Li 3 , and Li 4 clusters. Particular attention was paid to the computation of barriers and reaction energies. The predicted reaction profiles compare well with advanced classical quantum chemistry methods, demonstrating the potential of the quantum embedding algorithm to map out reaction profiles of realistic gas-phase chemical reactions to ascertain qualitative energetic trends. Additionally, the predicted potential energy curves provide a benchmark to compare against both current and future quantum embedding approaches.

Low Temperature Activation of Methane on Metal-Oxides and Complex Interfaces: Insights from Surface Science

The abundance of inexpensive, natural gas has transformed the energy landscape, whereby revealing new possibilities for sustainable chemical technologies or impacting those that have relied on traditional fossil fuels. The primary component, methane, is underutilized and wastefully exhausted, leading to anthropogenic global warming. Historically, the manipulation of methane remained “ clavis aurea ,” an insurmountable yet rewarding challenge and thus the focus of intense research. This is primarily due to an inability to dissociate C–H bonds in methane selectively, which requires a high energy penalty and is an essential prerequisite for the direct conversion of methane into a large set of value-added products. The discovery of such processes would promise an energy gainful use of natural gas benefiting several essential chemical processes associated with C1 chemistry. This first C–H bond dissociation step of the methane molecule appears in numerous catalytic mechanisms as the rate-determining step or most essential barrier sequence for all subsequent steps that follow in the production of C–C, C–O, or C x –H y –O z bonds found in value added products. A main goal is to catalytically reduce the energy barrier for the first C–H bond dissociation to be able to achieve the activation of methane at low or moderate temperatures. As such there is great value in understanding the fundamental nature of the active sites responsible for bond breaking or formation and thus be able to facilitate better control of this chemistry, leading to the development of new technologies for fuel production and chemical conversion. Surface science studies offer enhanced perspectives for a careful manipulation of bonds over the last layer atoms of catalyst surfaces, an essential factor for the design of atomically precise catalysts and unravelling of the reaction mechanism. With the advent of new surface imaging, spectroscopy, and in situ tools, it has been possible to decipher the surface chemistry of complex materials systems and further our understanding of atomic active sites on the surfaces of metals, oxides, and carbides or metal–oxide and metal–carbide interfaces. The once considered near impossible step of C–H bond activation is now observed at low temperatures with high propensity over a collection of oxide, metal–oxide, and metal–carbide systems in a conventional or inverse configuration (oxide or carbide on metal). The enabling of C–H activation at low temperature has opened interesting possibilities for the specific production of chemicals such as methanol directly from methane, a step toward facile synthesis of liquid fuels. We highlight the most recent of these results and present the key aspects of active site configurations engineered from surface science studies which enable such a simple reactive event through careful manipulation of the last surface layer of atoms found in the catalyst structure. New concepts which help in the activation and conversion of methane are discussed.

Molecular Mass Growth Processes to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons through Radical–Radical Reactions Exploiting Photoionization Reflectron Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represent critical building blocks in molecular mass growth processes to carbonaceous nanoparticles, referred to as interstellar and circumstellar grains along with soot particles in astrophysical environments and combustion systems, respectively. Recent advancements on elucidating elementary steps to PAHs have utilized reactions of aromatic radicals, resonantly stabilized free radicals, and aliphatic radicals with closed shell hydrocarbons. However, the role of radical–radical reactions (RRRs) leading to PAHs has remained largely unexplored on the molecular level due to preceding experimental challenges in producing sufficiently high number densities of radical reactants for isomer-selective detection of products from bimolecular and termolecular reactions. This Account offers the latest developments in our knowledge on the mechanisms and pathways to PAHs via RRRs probed in a chemical microreactor at temperatures as high as 1600 K. Product preservation in a molecular beam coupled with synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometry and photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy enabled isomer-selective detection of PAHs of up to three rings by their photoionization efficiency curves, which were fit with a linear combination of reference curves for identification. Experiments were combined with computational fluid dynamics modeling of the physicochemical processes in the microreactor, as well as high-level electronic structure calculations to reveal the reaction pathways of each system. Six distinct reaction mechanisms were discovered in this work: propargyl addition─benzannulation (PABA), methyl addition─ring expansion (MARE), cyclopentadienyl addition─naphthylization (CPAN), fulvenallenyl addition─cyclization─aromatization (FACA), benzyl addition─aromatization (BAA), and phenyl addition─pentacyclization (PAP). By systematically varying the number of carbon atoms in the radical reactants, molecular mass growth processes involving reactions between radicals with odd numbers of carbon atoms access aromatics carrying one, two, or three six-membered rings, whereas reactions between even- and odd-carbon-numbered radicals produce aromatics combining five- and six-membered rings. Our investigations reveal unconventional cycloadditions on excited state triplet surfaces, additions of radicals to low spin density carbon-centered radicals, spiroaromatic and fulvene-type intermediates, and highly strained bicyclic reaction intermediates, challenging current perceptions of PAH molecular mass growth processes. All of the listed mechanisms, except for FACA, feature endoergic reactions or barriers which lie above the separated reactants and therefore might be central to circumstellar environments of carbon-rich stars and planetary nebulae as their descendants, but they play no role in the gas phase of cold molecular clouds where temperatures as low as 10 K dominate. Altogether, this work provides detailed reaction mechanisms of PAH growth processes, advancing our knowledge of the chemistry of carbonaceous matter in the universe.

Toward machine learning interatomic potentials for modeling uranium mononitride

Uranium mononitride (UN) is a promising accident-tolerant fuel because of its high fissile density and high thermal conductivity. In this study, we developed the first machine learning interatomic potentials for reliable atomic-scale modeling of UN at finite temperatures. We constructed a training set using density functional theory (DFT) calculations that was enriched through an active learning procedure, and two neural network potentials were generated. Both potentials successfully reproduce key thermophysical properties of interest, such as temperature-dependent lattice parameter, specific heat capacity, and bulk modulus. We also evaluated the energy of stoichiometric defect reactions and defect migration barriers and found close agreement with DFT predictions, demonstrating that our potentials can be used for modeling defects in UN. Additional tests provide evidence that our potentials are reliable for simulating diffusion, noble gas impurities, and radiation damage.

Using AI to build a hydrobiogeochemical soil model

Soil water content is a function of inputs from precipitation and outputs via evaporation, transpiration, lateral flow, and vertical percolation, and is sensitive to biogeochemical processes. As such, soils serve as an ideal integrator of atmospheric, hydrological, and biogeochemical processes affecting the water cycle. In addition, soil water retention capacity, infiltration rates, and hydraulic conductivity can buffer or exacerbate the effects of extreme precipitation events (e.g., flooding, runoff, subsurface transport, erosion, greenhouse gas emissions) and mitigate the impact of droughts and heat waves on land systems (e.g., fire, crop failure). However, integrating water cycle measurements spanning different land atmosphere compartments across scales is a fundamental barrier for numerical model predictability. A significant challenge is that each domain (soil, hydrology, biology, and atmosphere) typically collects different sets of data at different temporal and spatial frequencies/scales, and even different dimensionalities (2D vs 3D). To implement soil as an integrator of the water cycle in land models, we suggest that novel machine learning (ML) tools can be developed to effectively simulate complex landscapes across various domains and scales, extended to regions with sparse or no data. The ultimate goals are to improve predictive understanding of land-atmosphere interactions and to extend the predictability of current Earth System Models (ESMs) through better integration of hydrological and biogeochemical data. We envision a framework in which: (1) ML-aided data reconstructions enable the merger of data sources into a unified geospatial product; (2) automated detection techniques are used to improve the knowledge of complex soil processes and interactions; and (3) this knowledge is leveraged and incorporated into models through AI-based emulators to distinctly connect the land and atmospheric compartments of the water cycle in models.

Overview and technology opportunities for thermochemically-produced bio-blendstocks

Global demand for transportation fuels is projected to increase 40% by 2040, and biomass-derived fuels (biofuels) play a crucial role in substituting fossil fuels and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, biofuels are mainly consumed as blendstocks combined with petroleum-based fuels, and effective conversion technologies can address the quality challenges for offering standalone biofuels. Thermochemical conversion process is one of the most promising pathways among existing technologies for biofuel production. However, the major barriers are unwanted characteristics (e.g., thermal instability) of intermediate products, such as bio-oil, and required upgrading treatments for producing compatible fuels. Here, this study highlights the merits and critical challenges of thermochemical conversion and physicochemical upgrading technologies for bio-blendstock production from lignocellulosic biomass. The novelty of this study lies in potential directions for future research through both critical and systematic literature reviews, and the proposed intensified process for lignocellulosic-based fuel blendstocks production. It is concluded that recovery and fractionation strategies (e.g., quenching and stripping) can maximize process yields and add values in the efficient conversion pathways. Effective quenching can stop secondary free radical reactions and improve liquid yields over gas and solid yields. Stripping process can improve process yield, catalyst lifespan, and thermal stability. It is further concluded that physicochemical treatments are not as effective as thermochemical treatments, but have advantages of mild operating conditions and potential for integrated solutions in conjunction with other treatments.

A Free‐Radical Prompted Barrierless Gas‐Phase Synthesis of Pentacene

Abstract A representative, low‐temperature gas‐phase reaction mechanism synthesizing polyacenes via ring annulation exemplified by the formation of pentacene (C 22 H 14 ) along with its benzo[ a ]tetracene isomer (C 22 H 14 ) is unraveled by probing the elementary reaction of the 2‐tetracenyl radical (C 18 H 11 . ) with vinylacetylene (C 4 H 4 ). The pathway to pentacene—a prototype polyacene and a fundamental molecular building block in graphenes, fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes—is facilitated by a barrierless, vinylacetylene mediated gas‐phase process thus disputing conventional hypotheses that synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) solely proceeds at elevated temperatures. This low‐temperature pathway can launch isomer‐selective routes to aromatic structures through submerged reaction barriers, resonantly stabilized free‐radical intermediates, and methodical ring annulation in deep space eventually changing our perception about the chemistry of carbon in our universe.

Bottom-up design of actinide materials from molecular clusters: Demonstration of a general-purpose simulation capability leveraging machine-learned atomic potentials

Actinide thin-film coatings such as uranium dioxide (UO 2 ) play an important role in nuclear reactors and other mission-relevant applications, but realization of their potential requires a deep fundamental understanding of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes used for their growth. The slow experimental progress can be attributed, in part, to the standard safety guidelines associated with handling uranium byproducts, which are often corrosive, toxic, and radioactive. Accurate simulation techniques, when used in concert with experiment, can improve laboratory safety, material durability, and deliverable timeframes. However, state-of-the-art computational methods are either insufficiently accurate or intractably expensive. To remedy this situation, in this project we suggested a machine-learning (ML) accelerated workflow for simulating molecular clustering toward deposition. As a benchmark test case, we considered molecular clustering in steam and assessed independent components of our workflow by comparing with measured thermodynamic properties of water. After analyzing each component individually and finding no fundamental barrier to realization of the workflow, we attempted to integrate the ML component, a Sandia-developed tool called FitSNAP. As this was the first application of FitSNAP to atoms and molecules in the gas phase at Sandia, the method required more fitting data than was originally anticipated. Systematic improvements were made by including in the fit data diatomic potentials, molecular single-bond-breaking curves, and symmetry-constrained intermolecular potentials. We concluded that our strategy provides a feasible pathway toward modeling CVD and related processes, but that extensive training data must be generated before it can be of practical use.

Simple, Tough, and Effective Porous Coating for Anti-Corrosion Application

This presentation discusses how a change in polymeric binder, the material used for assembling hydrophobic nanoparticles into a porous structure, led to better mechanical toughness and a simpler fabrication process based on 100% commercially available components. Most importantly, the optimized porous coating can reduce the corrosion rate by two orders of magnitude (0.003 mm/year) due to higher diffusion barrier based on a more resistant tortuous diffusion path. The combination of simplicity, toughness, effectiveness, and scalability greatly enhanced the prospect of commercializing this technology as an internal anti-corrosion coating for natural gas pipelines.

Assessing the Impact of a Novel TBC Material on Heat Transfer in a Spark Ignition Engine through 3D CFD-FEA Co-Simulation Routine

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been of interest since the 1970s for application in internal combustion (IC) engines. Thin TBCs exhibit a temperature swing phenomenon wherein wall temperatures dynamically respond to the transient working-gas temperature throughout the engine cycle, thus reducing the temperature difference driving the heat transfer. Determining these varying wall temperatures is necessary to evaluate and study the effect of coatings on wall heat transfer. This study focuses on developing a 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-finite element analysis (FEA) coupled simulation, or co-simulation, routine to determine the wall temperatures of a piston coated with a thin TBC layer subject to spark ignition combustion heat flux. A CONVERGE 3D-CFD model was used to simulate the combustion process in a single-cylinder, light-duty experimental spark ignition (SI) engine. Transient piston heat transfer analysis was conducted using ABAQUS, a FEA package, under the simulated combustion heat flux load. The effect of the temperature swing phenomenon due to this TBC layer was observed in a CFD simulation by implementing the FEA results as the piston thermal boundary conditions. The boundary conditions were passed between the CFD and FEA tools until a quasi-steady state solution was achieved. Furthermore, a reduction in wall heat transfer was observed due to a reduced temperature difference between the wall and the working gas.

Hydrogen from low-density polyethylene via nonthermal plasma: Effects of energy density and process parameters

Nonthermal plasma processes are promising for the modular valorization of plastic waste, especially into hydrogen and carbon materials, due to their high intensity, lack of reliance on catalysts or consumables, and suitability to be directly powered by electricity. We investigate the production of hydrogen from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) as a plastic waste model using streamer Dielectric Barrier Discharge (sDBD) plasma in nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. Here, we examine the effects of process energy density (energy input per unit of feedstock mass), feedstock mass, and plasma intensity (electric voltage) on plasma properties, hydrogen yield and energy efficiency via gas chromatography, optical emission spectroscopy, and electrical diagnostics, together with reactor-scale and nonlinear electric circuit modeling. The characteristic temperature of free electrons in the sDBD plasma is approximately 15000 K (1.3 eV), and that of gas species 10 times lower, demonstrating strong thermal non-equilibrium that can lead to molecular bond scission via charged species impact rather than direct heating. Experimental results show that higher energy density leads to greater hydrogen production and diminishing energy efficiency, and that higher plasma intensity and larger feedstock mass lead to greater hydrogen yield due to higher plasma temperatures and enhanced energy fluxes to the feedstock.
