Comparison of Planar and Tubular Flow Field Plates for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) through Simulation

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are excellent clean energy alternatives to current non-renewable energy sources. Bipolar plates are a key component of these fuel cells and directly responsible for their performance. Traditional bipolar plates are created in a planar form, but recent research has revealed a novel tubular design that performs similarly to conventional plates. Here, this study compares traditional planar designs with tubular ones. The finite element ANSYS software was used to determine and visualize velocity and pressure distributions of fluid flow through the bipolar plate channels.

Global Precipitation Measurement: Summary of the First GPM Partners Planning Workshop - Report 1

This report provides a synopsis of the proceedings of the First Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Partners Planning Workshop held at the University of Maryland, College Park, from May 16 to 18, 2001. GPM consists of a multi-member global satellite constellation (i.e., an international set of satellite missions) and the accompanying scientific research program, with the main goal of providing frequent, accurate, and globally distributed precipitation measurements essential in understanding several fundamental issues associated with the global water and energy cycle (GWEC). The exchange of scientific and technical information at this and subsequent GPM workshops between representatives from around the world represents a key step in the formulation phase of GPM mission development. The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA), and other interested agencies from nations around the world seek to observe, understand, and model the Earth system to learn how it is changing and what consequences these changes have on life, particularly as they pertain to hydrological processes and the availability of fresh water resources. GWEN processes are central to a broader understanding of the Earth system.

Materials Challenges and Opportunities for Energy Generation, Conversion, Delivery, and Storage (Applied Energy Tri-Laboratory Consortium Workshop Report)

This report documents the outcomes of the Tri-Laboratory Materials Workshop that was held July 31 and August 1, 2019 to begin addressing the needs, opportunities, and challenges associated with the development, fabrication, and testing of the needed materials and components for integrated hybrid energy systems (i.e., incorporating nuclear, fossil, and renewables for electric and thermal applications). This was accomplished by assembling the research program leads and principal investigators at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), who support the research and development of new technology and system integration. The team then identified and prioritized key materials development needs. This effort was intended to enhance communications and synergy among the Tri-Lab partners. Advanced functional and structural materials are central to transformative energy technologies for energy generation, conversion, delivery, and storage. With that in mind, the workshop focused on identifying and assessing the foundational materials research needs at both the basic and applied levels. Materials challenges include the ability to withstand harsh environments, such as high temperatures and pressures, corrosion, oxidation, or irradiation while maintaining flexible mission profiles and long service lifespans. Advanced energy system material challenges and needs range from materials for the capture, upgrading/concentration, storage, and delivery of low-grade heat to materials for high temperature environments that involve liquid metals, molten salt, and very high temperature gas heat delivery and storage systems. Material improvements are needed for hybrid energy systems due to accelerated corrosion and stress-fatigue failure of materials and equipment, which results from increased frequency and amplitude of thermal, mechanical, and electrical cycling of systems components. Multifunctional materials are needed for high temperature solid-oxide fuel cells, advanced electrochemical reactors, and in-process separation. Relative to materials manufacturing, application of advanced additive and subtractive methods need to be understood to develop both thin-layer homogenous materials and materials of graded composition. Materials modeling and machine learning will be critical to accelerate the design and production of power electronics, and nuclear reactor materials and fuel, as well as to gain an understanding of beneficial materials phenomena or deleterious microstructure evolution. There is also a need for standardized models, computational structures, data reporting protocols and modeling tools across the three laboratories. This would allow consistent results, analysis, and data sharing. Combining computational capabilities between the three laboratories (e.g., hardware, software) would greatly increase computational capabilities and throughput. The workshop identified the need for laboratories to anticipate and address problems that will occur during scale-up. Laboratory work must connect with industry to ensure that research focuses on processes that are scalable and marketable. Industry input and perspective are essential to guide laboratory research to meet these requirements and deploy new technology in industrial demonstrations. Another aspect of scale-up is the integration of multiple systems since new challenges often arise at the subsystem interfaces. Establishing a scale-up manufacturing demonstration/pilot plant, potentially as an industrial user facility, would be beneficial to the laboratories and industry. That modular scale-up manufacturing demonstration/pilot plant would allow researchers to find and resolve interface problems that cannot be identified by focusing only on individual parts. Communication exchanges among the organizers, attendees, and workshop survey responses indicate that the workshop was successful in achieving its goal to identify key technology gaps and research needs. Strong positive feedback was received on the sharing of ideas, capabilities, talent, and passion to move forward on the materials-related action items.

Multi-physics Topology OPtimization and Additive Manufacturing for High-temperature Heat Exchangers

This research significantly advances the understanding of high-temperature heat exchanger design through an integrated approach that combines topology optimization (TO), triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures, additive manufacturing (AM) and thermohydraulic testing. Each of these components contributes uniquely to a unified, high-performance design, fabrication and testing workflow. Topology optimization serves as the foundation of the design methodology by providing a systematic way to determine the most effective material layout for separating hot and cold fluids while maximizing thermal performance. The researchers introduced a novel three-material optimization framework using two density fields to represent hot fluid, cold fluid, and solid domains. This approach enables automated discovery of optimal shapes and flow paths that cannot be intuitively designed, especially under constraints imposed by manufacturing technologies. Furthermore, constraints such as minimal wall thickness and overhang angles were embedded into the optimization process, ensuring that resulting designs are not only thermally efficient but also manufacturable using modern additive techniques. In parallel, the study delves into the use of Gyroid-based TPMS geometries for constructing the core of the heat exchanger. TPMS structures are known for their high surface area, excellent fluid mixing capabilities, and minimal pressure drop characteristics. The researchers applied a data-driven modeling framework using Heteroscedastic Sparse Gaussian Process Regression (HSGPR) combined with genetic algorithms. This allowed for the rapid evaluation and optimization of key geometric parameters such as frequency, iso-value, and phase shift. The result was a set of Gyroid structures tailored for high heat transfer and low flow resistance, demonstrating clear improvements over conventional straight-channel designs. After the designing process, additive manufacturing played a critical role by turning these highly complex, optimized geometries into physical components. Utilizing Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) with Haynes 282, the study demonstrated the feasibility of fabricating these heat exchangers at high precision. Post-processing methods, including dilation-erosion operations, were applied to ensure local features adhered to self-supporting constraints. The fabricated structures were then subjected to thermohydraulic testing under conditions representative of supercritical CO 2 Brayton cycles, validating the predicted performance and confirming the viability of the full design-to-fabrication pipeline. Finally, thermohydraulic testing across the above studies served as a crucial experimental validation of advanced heat exchanger. Under consistent high-temperature and high-pressure conditions using supercritical CO 2 , the testing demonstrated that both TO and Gyroid-based TPMS designs significantly outperformed conventional straight-channel HXs. The TO design achieved a 115% increase in UA and NTU and a 27.6% boost in gravimetric power density, while the data-driven optimized Gyroid design delivered a 166% increase in UA and NTU and improved effectiveness from 68.7% to 86.1%. These results validate the simulation models, confirm the manufacturability of complex geometries under AM constraints, and provide key insights into design-performance trade-offs, thereby advancing the development of high-efficiency, compact heat exchangers for extreme environments.

Key Environmental and Ecological Variables of Wetland CH 4 and CO 2 Fluxes Change With Warming

Wetlands are important ecosystems for the global carbon cycle, impacting regional and global methane (CH 4 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) budgets. This study examines how environmental and ecological variables impact wetland CH 4 flux and net ecosystem exchange of CO 2 (NEE) across 17 sites globally. We also quantified the importance of variables for each wetland type and site at monthly scale under normal and warm temperatures using dominance analysis. We identified soil and air temperature (TS, TA, respectively) as key variables influencing wetland CH4, and latent heat (LE) and shortwave radiation (SW) for NEE under normal and warm conditions. However, the importance of some variables shifted with warming. For predicting the variability of wetland CH4 flux under warming, gross primary productivity (GPP) and LE, replacing wind direction (WD), were dominant variables for tropical swamps, while NEE was important for high-latitude fens and bogs under warm temperatures. For wetland NEE, the role of TA and TS decreased across all wetland types with warming, while vapor pressure deficit (VPD) became more important for mid and high-latitude wetlands. Our results reveal the complex responses of wetland carbon flux to environmental and ecological variables with warming and provide new insights into improving wetland models by incorporating additional variables and accounting for the changing roles of variables in carbon flux under warming.

Modular Hydronic Room Conditioning System

This project presents the development and validation of high-fidelity numerical models for fin-tube heat exchangers to enable accurate performance prediction and informed design optimization. The modeling framework integrates detailed geometric specifications, thermophysical property data, and system-level constraints to simulate the heat exchanger’s behavior under a range of operating conditions. The model is calibrated using real-world product specifications and validated against experimental data collected from controlled cooling and heating tests. In cooling mode, the model captures the overall trends in capacity and outlet air temperature but tends to underpredict latent effects, especially at lower air flow rates. In heating mode, the simulation consistently overestimates both the thermal capacity and outlet air temperature, indicating the need for refinement in air-side heat transfer assumptions. Despite these deviations, the model provides a solid foundation for optimization, allowing key design variables to be tuned within physical and performance-based constraints. This research advances the ability to simulate, validate, and optimize fin tube heat exchanger designs with greater confidence and efficiency.

Integrating continuous atmospheric boundary layer and tower-based flux measurements to advance understanding of land-atmosphere interactions

The atmospheric boundary layer mediates the exchange of energy, matter, and momentum between the land surface and the free troposphere, integrating a range of physical, chemical, and biological processes and is defined as the lowest layer of the atmosphere (ranging from a few meters to 3 km). In this review, we investigate how continuous, automated observations of the atmospheric boundary layer can enhance the scientific value of co-located eddy covariance measurements of land-atmosphere fluxes of carbon, water, and energy, as are being made at FLUXNET sites worldwide. We highlight four key opportunities to integrate tower-based flux measurements with continuous, long-term atmospheric boundary layer measurements: (1) to interpret surface flux and atmospheric boundary layer exchange dynamics and feedbacks at flux tower sites, (2) to support flux footprint modelling, the interpretation of surface fluxes in heterogeneous terrain, and quality control of eddy covariance flux measurements, (3) to support regional-scale modeling and upscaling of surface fluxes to continental scales, and (4) to quantify land-atmosphere coupling and validate its representation in Earth system models. Adding a suite of atmospheric boundary layer measurements to eddy covariance flux tower sites, and supporting the sharing of these data to tower networks, would allow the Earth science community to address new emerging research questions, better interpret ongoing flux tower measurements, and would present novel opportunities for collaborations between FLUXNET scientists and atmospheric and remote sensing scientists.

The Impact of Catalyst Layer Composition and Structure on Performance and Durability of PEMWE Anodes

A study of various compositions of anodes for proton exchange membrane water electrolysis aimed at reducing precious metal content and system costs without compromising performance and durability is presented. A key challenge in current water electrolysis technologies is the reliance on high iridium loadings to ensure sufficient catalytic activity, electronic conductivity, and durability for the oxygen evolution reaction. To address this, catalyst layers based on the stable but kinetically limited rutile phase of iridium oxide are combined with platinum nanoparticles and carbon-based additives to improve structural properties and ink processability. By systematically varying the volume ratios of carbon to precious metals and ionomer to solids, compositional trends have been identified, and significant performance improvements have been achieved. Structural and elemental analysis confirms improved dispersion of platinum and iridium can be achieved, as well as electronic conductivity improvements within the catalyst layer. Polarization curve analysis has shown the ability of added Pt and C to significantly increase catalytic activity. These results highlight the potential positive impact of Pt and C on anode structure, composition, and cell performance.

Temperature effects on adsorption and capillarity water retention mechanisms in constrained unsaturated soils

Abstract This paper focuses on the impact of elevated temperatures on the adsorptive and capillarity water retention mechanisms of unsaturated soils under constrained (constant volume) conditions. This topic is critical for simulating the thermo-hydraulic behavior of soils in hydrogeological or geotechnical applications, including climate change effects on near surface soils, energy piles or soil borehole thermal energy storage systems in unsaturated soil layers, and buffers for geological nuclear waste repositories. A nonisothermal soil water retention curve (SWRC) that separately considers the temperature-dependency of the key parameters governing adsorptive and capillarity water retention mechanisms and soil physical parameters (e.g., surface tension, contact angle, adsorption capacity, cation exchange capacity, mean cavitation suction, air entry value and equilibrium film thickness) was developed to provide insights into the impact of temperature on water retention over the full suction range. The nonisothermal SWRC was validated using experimental data on high plasticity clays, with a good prediction of temperature effects on adsorption and capillarity water retention mechanisms in constrained unsaturated soils.

Minimized aging of isocyanurate-based rigid cellular foams for buildings through tailored barrier facers and optimized formulation

The thermal resistivity (h·ft 2 ·°F/Btu/in.) of closed-cell rigid foam insulation materials significantly decreases over time. Diffusion-tight facers are designed to significantly enhance initial thermal resistivity and long-term thermal performance by preventing gas diffusion into the foam cells and inhibiting the escape of low thermal conductivity blowing agents. In addition to the gas diffusion property of the facer film, adhesion between the foam and the facer is crucial for achieving diffusion-tight bonding. Here, this study addresses the challenge of thermal aging by investigating how facer film properties and foam formulation influence the durability of thermal performance. A systematic evaluation was conducted to understand the effects of polymeric barrier films, surface treatments, facer coverage, and foam matrix rigidity on thermal resistivity over time. Key findings reveal that diffusion-tight facers, particularly those with metallized layers and compatible heat seal layers, significantly reduce gas exchange and improve foam-facer adhesion. The optimized system, incorporating barrier facers and a tailored polyisocyanurate foam formulation, achieved initial and aged thermal resistivity values after 200 days of approximately 8.3 and 7.4 h ft 2 ·°F/Btu/in., respectively representing only a 10 % reduction compared to a 17 % reduction observed in control samples without facers. Notably, polyurethane spray foams with facers exhibited only a 4 % reduction in thermal resistivity, compared to a 23 % decrease in control samples, demonstrating nearly six times better retention of thermal performance. This innovative facer technology presents a promising solution for reducing energy costs and represents a significant advancement in optimizing energy management for building envelopes in future technologies. This technology can also be adapted for other applications that necessitate the preservation of long-term thermal performance.

The three major axes of terrestrial ecosystem function

The leaf economics spectrum and the global spectrum of plant forms and functions revealed fundamental axes of variation in plant traits, which represent different ecological strategies that are shaped by the evolutionary development of plant species. Ecosystem functions depend on environmental conditions and the traits of species that comprise the ecological communities. However, the axes of variation of ecosystem functions are largely unknown, which limits our understanding of how ecosystems respond as a whole to anthropogenic drivers, climate and environmental variability. Here we derive a set of ecosystem functions from a dataset of surface gas exchange measurements across major terrestrial biomes. We find that most of the variability within ecosystem functions (71.8%) is captured by three key axes. The first axis reflects maximum ecosystem productivity and is mostly explained by vegetation structure. The second axis reflects ecosystem water-use strategies and is jointly explained by variation in vegetation height and climate. The third axis, which represents ecosystem carbon-use efficiency, features a gradient related to aridity, and is explained primarily by variation in vegetation structure. We show that two state-of-the-art land surface models reproduce the first and most important axis of ecosystem functions. However, the models tend to simulate more strongly correlated functions than those observed, which limits their ability to accurately predict the full range of responses to environmental changes in carbon, water and energy cycling in terrestrial ecosystems.

Kitaev physics in the two-dimensional magnet NiPSe 3

The Kitaev interaction, found in candidate materials such as α − RuCl 3 , occurs through the metal ( M )-ligand ( X )-metal ( M ) paths of the edge-sharing octahedra because the large spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on the metal atoms activates directional spin interactions. Here, we show that even in 3 d transition-metal compounds, where the SOC of the metal atom is negligible, heavy ligands can induce bond-dependent Kitaev interactions. In this work, we take as an example the 3 d transition-metal chalcogenophosphate NiPSe 3 and show that the key is found in the presence of a sizable SOC on the Se p orbital, one which mediates the super-exchange between the nearest-neighbor Ni sites. Our study provides a pathway for engineering enhanced Kitaev interactions through the interplay of SOC strength, lattice distortions, and chemical substitutions.

Design of a 1 MWth Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Primary Heat Exchanger Test System

A new generation of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technologies is under development to provide dispatchable renewable power generation and reduce the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) to 6 cents/kWh by leveraging heat transfer fluids (HTF) capable of operation at higher temperatures and coupling with higher efficiency power conversion cycles. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has funded three pathways for Generation 3 CSP (Gen3CSP) technology development to leverage solid, liquid, and gaseous HTFs to transfer heat to a supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO 2 ) Brayton cycle. Here we present the design and off-design capabilities of a 1 MWth sCO 2 test system that can provide sCO 2 coolant to the primary heat exchangers (PHX) coupling the high-temperature HTFs to the sCO 2 working fluid of the power cycle. This system will demonstrate design, performance, lifetime, and operability at a scale relevant to commercial CSP. A dense-phase high pressure canned motor pump is used to supply up to 5.3 kg/s of sCO 2 flow to the primary heat exchanger at pressures up to 250 bar and temperatures up to 715 °C with ambient air as the ultimate heat sink. Key component requirements for this system are presented in this paper.

Hydroxide Exchange Membrane Carbon Capture (HEMCC) Using Nickel Hydroxide Batteries and Flow-through Membranes

Proposed is an electrochemical nickel hydroxide based hydroxide exchange membrane carbon capture (HEMCC) device for Direct Air Capture (DAC) of CO2. DAC has been identified as one of the key net negative carbon technologies to achieve net zero carbon emissions. Net negative carbon technologies are required to offset continued emissions from dilute CO2 sources such as agriculture and construction. The majority of current DAC technologies at scale (>1 KT∙yr-1) are adsorbent based technologies with significant energy cost. The traditional DAC energy cost is primarily driven by the temperature swing required to regenerate the sorbent and has been shown to be 1.8 MWh·ton-1 at the system level. Electrochemical pH swing devices are a growing research area for carbon capture devices with the goal of lowering the energy cost required for DAC. A pH gradient is built by generating OH- at the cathode and consuming OH- at the anode. An acid-base equilibrium with CO2 allows for the capture of CO2 at the cathode and release at the anode. This extends from other electrochemical CO2 capture devices based on pKa shifts of an electrochemically active organic species allowing for the capture and release of CO2. Electrochemical CO2 capture is considered promising based on potentially low energy costs to capture CO2 in comparison with current temperature swing adsorption technologies. This work explores Ni(OH)2 electrodes to produce the pH gradient for CO2 capture and release. At the cathode NiOOH is reduced to Ni(OH)2 while at the anode Ni(OH)2 is oxidized to NiOOH. The symmetrical electrodes allow for a low voltage requirement; the thermodynamic potential difference of standard electrochemical reactions is zero. Most of the voltage observed is to produce the pH gradient with the remainder driving the polarization of the electrodes. There is a resistance component as well, but this is small in comparison due to the low current densities used in the device, nominally 2 mA·cm-1. Two similar devices are presented, a traditional MEA (membrane electrode assembly) and a flow-through MEA. The traditional MEA separates the two Ni(OH)2 electrodes with an 80μm Piperion® membrane. While the flow-through membrane separates the electrodes with a three piece membrane consisting of two 80μm Piperion® membranes with a porous membrane between them. In the traditional MEA system air is passed over the cathode for capture, while the flow-through MEA the air is passed through the porous membrane isolated from the electrodes. The traditional MEA has been used to establish a baseline performance of the device and has been shown to capture CO2 at an energy cost of 1 MWh·ton-1 at the device level. An understanding has been built around the components of that energy cost including the relationship of flux to current density, effect of a regeneration process, transient battery behavior, and gas losses coinciding with changing the polarization of the batteries. The flow-through MEA looks to address of transient battery behavior and gas losses. It allows for denser, higher capacity electrodes, which can lean on traditional Ni-MH battery technology used in alkaline batteries used today. The higher capacities, limit the transient battery effect on flux in the device. Gas losses are addressed by having a continuous inlet air stream to the device and continuous outlet product.
