Selenium Migration and Local Structures in Cu‐Doped CdSeTe Solar Cells after Aging

Selenium grading plays a critical role in state-of-the-art Cadmium Telluride photovoltaic cells by enhancing long-wavelength absorption and extending minority carrier lifetimes —key to enabling the current performance record of 23.08%. However, very little is understood about selenium motion. In this study, a comprehensive, multimodal, and multiscale approach is employed to investigate Se migration and local structural changes in copper (Cu)-doped CdSeTe solar cells subjected to accelerated stress. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) microscopy shows unexpected levels of Se diffusion after 500 h under heat (75°C) and light (0.8 suns, 80 mW/cm 2 ), suggesting the coexistence of fast and slow diffusion channels even at low temperatures, with unexpectedly low activation energies (<0.85 eV). X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) analysis indicates a preferential migration of Se atoms to anionic lattice sites and a reduction in Se-Cl co-passivation at Te-terminated dislocation cores. Furthermore, these findings point to a reconfiguration of Se local environments and highlight the potential role of extended structural defects in enabling Se transport at low temperatures. Additionally, XANES results suggest that the presence of metallic Cu across the absorber layer may contribute to back-contact degradation and reduced hole density in both fresh and aged devices.

Explainable machine learning reveals that local structural motifs encode the thermodynamic state across the CuZr metallic glass-forming range

Metallic glasses derive their properties from the statistics of local atomic motifs rather than from long-range order, yet a quantitative, chemistry-specific link between motif populations and the underlying glassy state has remained elusive. In this work we combine large-scale molecular dynamics, Voronoi tessellation, deep neural networks, and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to identify which local structural motifs define the glassy state of Cu—Zr metallic glasses. A dataset of 17,180 atomistic configurations spanning ten compositions (Cu 20 Zr 80 –Cu 80 Zr 20 ) and four quench rates (10 9 –10 12 K/s) is used to train a feed-forward neural network that regresses temperature across the 50–2000 K liquid–supercooled–glass range, achieving a mean absolute error of 19.89 K and R 2 = 0.9974, confirming that the local structural state is faithfully encoded in motif-level structure. SHAP analysis then reveals that a tightly coupled near-icosahedral family of motifs (coordination numbers (CN) 11–13, including the full icosahedron 001200 and its single-atom-perturbation sibling 10930) collectively encodes the thermodynamic state of the system across the full glass-forming range. The CN = 11–13 ordered members carry negative SHAP values at high populations, tracking the most deeply-quenched configurations, while 10930 shows the reversed signature consistent with its role as a soft-spot host whose population shrinks as the icosahedral network deepens. The analysis demonstrates that explainable machine learning can isolate the minimal motif vocabulary defining the glassy state and recovers the near-icosahedral building blocks previously identified by data-driven analyses of Cu—Zr. The approach provides a general, chemistry-specific route for characterizing the structural state of disordered materials.

Ultrafast Oxygen Conduction in Sillén Oxychlorides

Oxygen ion conductors are crucial for enhancing the efficiency of various clean energy technologies, including fuel cells, solid oxide air batteries, electrolyzers, membranes, sensors, and more. In this study, a structure-similarity analysis of ≈62k oxygen-containing compounds identified the MBi 2 O 4 X (M = rare-earth element, X = halogen element) family as promising candidates for fast oxygen transport. Among these, LaBi 2 O 4 Cl is found as an ultrafast oxygen conductor with an ultralow migration barrier of 0.1 eV based on ab initio studies. Its 2D layered structure, featuring a “triple fluorite” layer, supports diffusion of both oxygen vacancies and interstitials. In addition to vacancy diffusion with a 0.1 eV barrier, ab initio studies show interstitial diffusion exhibits a modest barrier of 0.6–0.8 eV. Frenkel pairs are found to be the dominant defects in intrinsic LaBi 2 O 4 Cl, facilitating significant vacancy-mediated oxygen diffusion at elevated temperatures. With 2.8% oxygen vacancies, LaBi 2 O 4 Cl is predicted to achieve a conductivity of 0.3 S/cm at 25 °C in a single crystal. Experimental synthesis and characterization of polycrystalline LaBi 2 O 4 Cl and Sr-doped LaBi 2 O 4 Cl revealed conductivity exceeding that of YSZ and LSGM below 400 °C, with lower activation energies, achieving a total conductivity of 0.1−0.2 mS/cm at 300 °C. Here, while these results confirm its potential of fast oxygen transport, we suggest further experimental optimization of LaBi 2 O 4 Cl, including aliovalent doping and microstructure refinement, could significantly enhance its performance, facilitating fast oxygen conduction approaching room temperature.

Revealing the Nature of Binary-Phase on Structural Stability of Sodium Layered Oxide Cathodes

The emergence of layered sodium transition metal oxides featuring a multiphase structure presents a promising approach for cathode materials in sodium-ion batteries, showcasing notably improved energy storage capacity. However, the advancement of cathodes with multiphase structures faces obstacles due to the limited understanding of the integrated structural effects. Herein, the integrated structural effects by an in-depth structure-chemistry analysis in the developed layered cathode system Na x Cu 0.1 Co 0.1 Ni 0.25 Mn 0.4 Ti 0.15 O 2 with purposely designed P2/O3 phase integration, are comprehended. The results affirm that integrated phase ratio plays a pivotal role in electrochemical/structural stability, particularly at high voltage and with the incorporation of anionic redox. In contrast to previous reports advocating solely for the enhanced electrochemical performance in biphasic structures, it is demonstrated that an inappropriate composite structure is more destructive than a single-phase design. The in situ X-ray diffraction results, coupled with density functional theory computations further confirm that the biphasic structure with P2:O3 = 4:6 shows suppressed irreversible phase transition at high desodiated states and thus exhibits optimized electrochemical performance. Finally, these fundamental discoveries provide clues to the design of high-performance layered oxide cathodes for next-generation SIBs.

Mechanical Roles of Polysaccharide Assembly and Interactions in Plant Cell Walls

Plants synthesize polysaccharide-based primary cell walls that possess unique microstructures and mechanical properties to accommodate plant growth and provide protection. Here, it remains challenging to assess the role of polysaccharide organization and interactions in the mechanical behavior of primary cell walls owing to their complex microstructure and highly nonlinear mechanical responses. Employing a coarse-grained molecular dynamics model developed for onion epidermal walls, this work explores the conditions under which polysaccharide assembly and interactions might play a significant role in primary cell wall mechanics. Cellulose–cellulose adhesion plays a dominant role in the wall load-bearing capacity, but when cellulose–cellulose adhesion was disrupted computationally, cellulose–xyloglucan adhesion could influence the wall load-bearing capacity. Contrary to the common concept that xyloglucans mechanically tether well-separated cellulose microfibrils, xyloglucans functioned in this case as interfibrillar adhesives capable of transmitting tensile forces between cellulose microfibrils. Our findings may inform design criteria of new materials inspired by plant cell walls.

Resilient stellarator divertor characteristics in the Helically Symmetric eXperiment

Resilient divertor features connected to open chaotic edge structures in the Helically Symmetric eXperiment are investigated. For the first time, an expanded vessel wall was considered that would give space for implementation of a physical divertor target structure. The analysis was done for four different magnetic configurations with very different chaotic plasma edges. A resilient plasma wall interaction pattern was identified across all configurations. This manifests as qualitatively very similar footprint behavior across the different plasma equilibria. Overall, the resilient field lines of interest with high connection length L C lie within a helical band along the wall for all configurations. This resiliency can be used to identify the best location of a divertor. The details of the magnetic footprint’s resilient helical band is subject to specific field line structures which are linked to the penetration depth of field lines into the plasma and directly influence the heat and particle flux patterns. The differences arising from these details are characterized by introducing a new metric, the minimum radial connection min $(\delta_N)$ of a field line from the last closed flux surface. The relationship, namely the deviation from a scaling law, between min $(\delta_N)$ and L C of the field lines in the plasma edge field line behavior suggests that the field lines are associated with structures such as resonant islands, cantori, and turnstiles. This helps determine the relevant magnetic flux channels based on the radial location of these chaotic edge structures and the divertor target footprint. These details will need to be taken into account for resilient divertor design.

Understanding Pore Filling Processes and Adsorption/Desorption Hysteresis in Nanoporous Metal–Organic Frameworks: Insights from Grand Canonical Monte Carlo Simulations and Free Energy Calculations

Grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations were used to investigate pore filling and hysteresis in nanoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Adsorption and desorption isotherms were calculated for argon at 87 K in 1866 MOFs from the CoRE MOF database and for short n-alkanes in selected MOFs, keeping the adsorbent structure rigid. Analysis of the molecular configurations showed two different mechanisms and origins of hysteresis: one involving a transition of the adsorbate arrangement in the pores similar to a gas-to-liquid transition associated with a large change in the loading and one more similar to a liquid-to-solid transition associated with a relatively small change in the loading. Our GCMC simulations in MOFs with diverse pore topologies indicate exceptions to an empirical relationship for the minimum diameter of a cylindical pore required for hysteresis as a function of the adsorbate diameter and reduced temperature. The simulations reveal some structures where isotherms exhibit two steps in the adsorption branch and only one step in the desorption branch. Hysteresis loops with a different number of adsorption and desorption steps are not common. Here, to better understand why hysteresis is observed in the GCMC simulations, the concept of the transition probability for observing a step in the adsorption isotherm at a given pressure in a GCMC simulation is introduced. We used two different methods to calculate the transition probabilities and find that these yield comparable results. Furthermore, the transition probability provides a measure for the length of GCMC simulations to yield reliable results.

Thermodynamic Stability and Site‐Specific Distribution of Graphitic and Pyridinic Nitrogen in Graphene Moiré on Ru(0001)

Abstract Graphene‐like materials are of interest for large‐scale hydrogen storage applications due to their lightweight, durable, and scalable properties. Nitrogen‐doping minimizes kinetic limitations in diffusion and recombination on surfaces, however, the role of graphitic nitrogen (GN) and pyridinic nitrogen (PN) is not well understood. Nitrogen‐doped graphene is synthesized on Ru(0001) using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of pyridine and ion irradiation. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT) are used to identify the structure, location, and thermodynamic stability of nitrogen species within the graphene moiré. CVD of pyridine results in a low nitrogen concentration (<0.1at%), while the post‐growth nitrogen ion irradiation allows us to increase the concentration further. The concentration of GN and PN is controlled by varying the ion dose and annealing temperature. Comparison of measured and simulated STM images of GN and PN yield an excellent agreement, allowing us to confidently establish that GN is preferentially located near the center of the Atop region, while PN is located in the valley region of the graphene moiré. This report explicitly confirms the site assignments and provides a foundation for the site synthesis and analysis of structural and electronic properties that drive the reactivity of N‐doped graphene.

Evolved Gas Analysis–Mass Spectrometry Exposes Polymer Network Structures

Polymer network structures in epoxy thermosets play an important role in the final thermoset material properties. However, analytical characterization of these network structures is difficult due to their amorphous nature. In this work, the application of evolved gas analysis–mass spectrometry (EGA-MS) to characterize the polymer network structures of bisphenol A (BPA)-based thermosets is demonstrated. Analytical characterization of the polymer network structures is accomplished by monitoring the Product-Specific Kinetics (PSK) of BPA monomer formation during thermal degradation investigations. We relate observed differences in the activation energy (E a ) of BPA monomer formation to the local packing environment around the BPA monomer units within the polymer network. Variations in the local environment related to the polymer networks manifest qualitatively as broadening in the thermal profile of the BPA monomer evolution and quantitatively as changes in the activation energy (E a ). Three BPA thermoset formulations were investigated; two amine-cured thermoset with 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) or poly(propylene glycol) bis(2-amino-propyl ether) (PPG400) and a homopolymerized thermoset via curing with Epikure 3253 catalyst (3253). Results revealed that the 3253 thermoset contained two distinct packing densities in the polymer network, while DDM and PPG400 thermosets had uniform distributions of packing densities. Results from the DDM thermoset revealed a gradually decreasing E a , while the apparent E a of PPG400 was consistent over the entire degradation. Furthermore, these differences in E a were concluded to stem from the flexibility of the corresponding polymer networks and the ability of the network components to rearrange and occupy formed voids. Due to the minimal sample required for analysis (100–200 μg), this EGA-MS technique has great potential for postproduction evaluation of composite parts to identify changes in the polymer networks from use and aging, which could signal compromised performance.

Safety Considerations for Advanced Material Irradiation at the Advanced Test Reactor

The Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) is a light water reactor with aluminum-clad driver fuel. A primary mission of the ATR is to support the next generation of nuclear reactors. This support necessarily requires irradiation of advanced materials such as sodium, fuel salts, and metal eutectics. Irradiation of advanced materials in the ATR environment presents a challenge when completing accident analyses and demonstrating compliance to the Safety Analysis Report (SAR). Many advanced materials have the possibility to react with the ATR protective barriers such as the cladding or primary coolant system (PCS) boundary during postulated accident scenarios. Further, molten fuel experiments fall outside of the standard regulatory framework for dose consequence analyses. ATR is currently developing new safety analysis methods to support irradiation of advanced materials. The primary considerations for this development are 1) experiment containment design requirements, 2) primary coolant system response to an experiment containment failure, and 3) dose analyses for molten fuels.

SpectraCodec: A Hilbert curve-based method for encoding metadata in mass spectra for machine learning applications (SpectraCodec) v1

Machine learning approaches to mass spectrometry (MS) data analysis require structured metadata for optimal performance. However, current MS file formats necessitate external metadata sources, creating integration challenges that impede analytical workflows. Here, we present a novel approach for encoding metadata directly within mzML files using one-hot encoding of ASCII characters mapped via Hilbert space-filling curves. This strategy embeds metadata in the first spectrum's m/z-intensity space, ensuring persistence with the primary data, eliminating the need for external metadata files, and maintaining compatibility with existing MS software. We demonstrate that the Hilbert curve mapping efficiently utilizes the two-dimensional spectral space while maintaining robust data recovery. This method offers a practical solution for machine learning applications in mass spectrometry by ensuring metadata and spectral data remain unified through all stages of analysis.

Intercalative Redox Tuning for Cu/Li x Mn 2 O 4 -Catalyzed Oxidative Alkyne Coupling

Modulation of heterogeneous catalyst structure is ubiquitous within efforts to improve catalytic activity and selectivity at the molecular level. Herein, manganese oxide (MnO 2 ) is employed as a continuously tunable catalyst support through increasing extent of lithium intercalation and reduced surface potential. Oxidative grafting of an organocopper complex onto various lithium manganese oxides (Li x Mn 2 O 4 , x = 0-2.1) produced divalent and monovalent copper species on the partially reduced (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.2) and fully reduced (x = 2.1) surfaces, respectively, as determined by X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis. In this study, the resultant materials are catalytically active for the oxidative coupling of terminal alkynes, with steady-state reaction rate data of oxidative propyne dimerization (200 °C, 0.6-2.4 kPa propyne, 2.4-9.9 kPa O 2 ) indicating that complete support lithiation (Li 2.1 Mn 2 O 4 ) provides increased catalytic performance and renders reoxidation steps less kinetically demanding compared to the unreduced parent material. Enacting a dual site (Cu and MnO x ) kinetic model can account for dimerization rates measured over Cu/Li 2.1 Mn 2 O 4 under various reactant concentrations, copper loadings, and surface coverages, providing supporting evidence for the synergistic role of the metal and support in facilitating the coupling reaction. Overall, results presented here provide an extension for general strategies of systematically controlling catalytic structure and function through lithium reduction of bulk oxides and subsequent electronic modulation of the metals supported thereon.

La 3 CuTe 5 : A Narrow-Gap Semiconductor with Indirect Gap and Dual-Regime Thermally Activated Transport

Metal-chalcogenide systems remain a long-standing research topic because of their structural diversity and potential to host emergent phenomena. Here, we report a new compound, La 3 CuTe 5 , synthesized from the halide-flux method. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies indicate the structure to be unique among reported ones. Here, the compound crystallizes in a novel structure type adopting the orthorhombic space group Pnma and a unit cell of a = 24.3947(14) Å, b = 4.4232(2) Å, and c = 10.2142(5) Å. The tetrahedral [CuTe 4 ] building blocks form chains along [010] by corner sharing and link [LaTe 7 ] and [LaTe 8 ] polyhedra via edge sharing, resulting in a three-dimensional bulk structure. Thermal analysis results indicate that the material remains stable with a temperature up to 950 °C and decomposable at 1400 °C. First-principles calculations reveal an indirect electronic band gap and flat valence bands dominated by Te p and Cu d states. Optical absorption measurements yield a band gap of ∼0.65 eV, consistent with semiconducting behavior observed in transport measurements. Fittings to the temperature-dependent resistivity reveal two thermally activated regimes associated with Arrhenius-type conduction and three-dimensional variable range hopping, respectively.

Evaluating ecosystem water use efficiency under drought stress: a case study of the Helan Mountain region, northwest China

Context Water use efficiency (WUE) is a fundamental ecological indicator links carbon assimilation and water loss in terrestrial ecosystems. Understanding its responses to drought stress is essential for adaptive ecosystem management, particularly in climate-sensitive mountain landscapes. Objectives This study aimed to investigate drought-driven variations in WUE across major vegetation types in the Helan Mountain region of Northwest China. Specifically, we sought to identify dominant ecological drivers of WUE variability and to disentangle their relative importance and causal pathways. Methods We quantified WUE using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) products and the Drought Severity Index (DSI) data from 2001 to 2020. To examine WUE – drought relationships across contrasting vegetation types, we employed a spatially explicit analytical framework integrating Random Forest (RF) modeling, partial correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results Regional WUE exhibited relatively stable interannual dynamics, yet pronounced spatial heterogeneity that was strongly modulated by drought conditions. Vegetation properties, particularly Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), emerged as the dominant determinants of WUE, with NDVI alone explaining over 20% of its spatial variance in forest and grassland during non-drought periods. SEM analyses revealed that climate forcing influenced WUE mainly through indirect pathways mediated by soil moisture availability and vegetation structural dynamics, rather than through direct climatic controls. Among all regulating factors, LAI acted as the central control node governing ecosystem carbon–water coupling. In contrast, short-term climatic stress, especially atmospheric demand and drought duration, exerted weak or negative direct effects on WUE. Ecosystem-specific responses were observed, with croplands mainly regulated by soil water availability, whereas forests and grasslands showed more sensitive to atmospheric drought stress. Together, these results reveal a hierarchical control framework where soil–vegetation interactions mediate climate impacts on WUE, driving strong spatial heterogeneity in drought responses across mountain landscapes. Conclusions Our findings highlight the pivotal role of indirect drought effects mediated by vegetation and soil processes in shaping ecosystem WUE. The identified soil–vegetation–climate regulatory hierarchy provides mechanistic insight into landscape–scale drought sensitivity and supports integrated modeling approaches for evaluating ecosystem resilience and sustainable management in arid mountain regions.

Interactions between phosphate and arsenic in iron/biochar-treated groundwater: Corrosion control insights from column experiments

An increasing number of studies have reported the coexistence of arsenic (As) and phosphorus at high concentrations in groundwater, which threatens human health and increases the complexity of groundwater remediation. However, limited work has been done regarding As interception in the presence of phosphate in flowing systems. In this study, a series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the interactions between phosphate and As during As removal by iron (Fe)-based biochar (FeBC). The addition of phosphate promoted As removal by FeBC in the batch and column experiments. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analysis provided evidence of simultaneous oxidation and reduction of trivalent arsenic in the FeBC column experiment, accompanied by corrosive Fe oxidation. However, the addition of phosphate enhanced As stabilization, attributed to the As-incorporated Fe-Ca-phosphates precipitates. The involvement of phosphate decelerated the Fe corrosion and the formation of secondary minerals in the column, mediating the risk of passivation and clogging. The As retained by Fe-Ca-phosphate precipitates was more readily oxidized, resulting in higher proportions of pentavalent arsenic. In conclusion, the results of this work identify the corrosion control and sustained-release roles of phosphate in FeBC application, informing the perspective of FeBC in As-contaminated groundwater remediation and providing new insights into the interactions between phosphate and As.

Effect of Solvents on Lignin–Surface Interactions via Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Lignin, an essential building block of lignocellulosic biomass, is a potential abundant source of aromatic monomers for the polymer and chemical industry. Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) is one promising process that can produce high yields of phenolic monomers and oligomers from lignin under different catalytic conditions. An important choice in optimizing RCF is the selection of solvent; however, detailed insights into solvent effects on lignin behaviors and interactions remain limited. Here, in this work, we perform all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to study the solvation of lignin, solvent-mediated conformational changes, and the interaction of solvated lignin oligomers with model surfaces. We focus on the behavior of an oligomeric lignin model compound in methanol, ethanol, a binary mixture of ethanol and water, and water at both the RCF reaction temperature (473 K) and room temperature. Analysis of structural features of lignin suggests that these three organic solvent systems favorably solvate lignin, resulting in a more extended conformation suitable for catalytic conversion to valuable chemicals. We further introduce model palladium (Pd) and carbon (C) surfaces to understand how solvent choice impacts adsorption onto a representative catalytic surface and support, and to quantify the competition among the reactant and solvent molecules for the surface. Unbiased simulations suggest strong adsorption of lignin on both Pd and C surfaces at 473 K, with notable solvent-mediated differences in adsorption energies. Additionally, our findings indicate that lignin adsorption is promoted by the entropy change resulting from the displacement of solvent molecules from the surface. This study provides a molecular perspective of adsorption of lignin onto varying surfaces, which is a step towards understanding and optimizing the catalytic conversion of lignin into valuable chemicals.
