Altering translation allows E. coli to overcome chemically stabilized G-quadruplexes

Genomic DNA from each sample was prepared using the Wizard Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega) and after, DNA was quantified using the QuantiFluor ONE dsDNA System (Promega). Genomic DNA underwent shearing to ~200 bp fragments via sonication and the gDNA fragments were prepared for sequencing using the NEBNext Ultra II DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina (NEB). Bead-based size selection was used to select ~200 bp fragments and the fragments then underwent a splinkerette PCR using a Tn5-enriching forward primer and custom reverse primers for multiplexing. A final bead-based size selection was used to select for the correct length DNA. DNA was sequenced at the University of Michigan Advanced Genomics Core using Illumina sequencing with a custom read primer reading the last 10 nt of the transposon. PhiX174 DNA spike was added to the run to ensure sufficient sequence diversity on the flow cell. Then, a custom index read primer and standard Illumina primer were used to sequence the index reads and PhiX174, respectively.

Theoretical Design of Lithium Chloride Superionic Conductors for All-Solid-State High-Voltage Lithium-Ion Batteries

The development of solid electrolytes (SEs) is a promising pathway to improve the energy density and safety of conventional Li ion batteries. Several lithium chloride SEs, Li 3 MCl 6 (M = Y, Er, In, and Sc), have gained popularity due to their high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical window, and good chemical stability. This study systematically investigated 17 Li 3 MCl 6 SEs to identify novel and promising lithium chloride SEs. Calculation results revealed that 12 Li 3 MCl 6 (M = Bi, Dy, Er, Ho, In, Lu, Sc, Sm, Tb, TI, Tm, and Y) were stable phase with a wide electrochemical stability window and excellent chemical stability against cathode materials and moisture. Li-ion transport properties were examined using bond valence site energy (BVSE) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) calculation. Li 3 MCl 6 showed the lower migration energy barrier in monoclinic structures, while orthorhombic and trigonal structures exhibited higher energy barriers due to the sluggish diffusion along the two-dimensional path based on the BVSE model. AIMD results confirmed the slower ion migration along the 2D path, exhibiting lower ionic diffusivity and higher activation energy in orthorhombic and trigonal structures. For the further increase of ionic conductivity in monoclinic structures, Li-ion vacancy was formed by the substitution of M 3+ with Zr 4+ . Zr-substituted phase (Li 2.5 M 0.5 Zr 0.5 Cl 6 , M = In, Sc) exhibited up to a fourfold increase in ionic conductivity. This finding suggested that the optimization of Li vacancy in the Li 3 MCl 6 SEs could lead to superionic Li 3 MCl 6 SEs.

Stability of plutonium oxide nanoparticles in the presence of montmorillonite and implications for colloid facilitated transport

The physical and chemical stability of PuO 2 nanoparticles (intrinsic colloids) in groundwater will control their transport and may affect the performance of high-level radioactive waste repositories. In this study, we examined the chemical stability of two types of PuO 2 nanoparticles at both 25 and 80 °C. The “alkaline” PuO 2 nanoparticles were prepared by neutralizing an acidic Pu(IV) solution with dilute NaOH to pH ~9.5. The “acidic” PuO 2 nanoparticles were precipitated from 0.1 M nitric acid by heating a Pu(IV) solution at 60–80 °C for 30 min. The chemical stability of these PuO 2 nanoparticles was tested in the presence of montmorillonite, a common mineral in the environment and potentially relevant backfill material in some nuclear waste repository designs. The “alkaline” PuO 2 nanoparticles were found to be unstable over a timescale of months at both 25 and 80 °C, with elevated temperature enhancing their dissolution rates and sorption to montmorillonite. PuO 2 nanoparticle dissolution rates decreased with increasing Pu concentration, consistent with solution saturation. The “acidic” PuO 2 nanoparticles appeared to remain stable for much longer than the “alkaline” PuO2 nanoparticles. The “alkaline” PuO 2 nanoparticle dissolution rate constants were as high as 10 -11.9±0.4 mol m -2 s -1 and 10 -11.2±0.2 mol m -2 s -1 at 25 and 80 °C, respectively, while the “acidic” PuO 2 nanoparticle dissolution rate at 80 °C was 10 -13.5 mol m -2 s -1 . Based on transmission electron microscopy, the “alkaline” and “acidic” PuO 2 nanoparticles were of similar size (2.5–4.5 and 2–3 nm nanoparticles, respectively). However, the “acidic” PuO 2 nanoparticles formed more ordered nanoparticle aggregates. Our results suggest that the specific conditions experienced during PuO 2 nanoparticle formation could significantly affect the stability of PuO 2 in the presence of competing sorption processes and, in turn, the relative importance of intrinsic versus pseudocolloid transport in the environment.

A New Class of Proton Conductors with Dramatically Enhanced Stability and High Conductivity for Reversible Solid Oxide Cells

Reversible solid oxide cells based on proton conductors (P-ReSOCs) have potential to be the most efficient and low-cost option for large-scale energy storage and power generation, holding promise as an enabler for the implementation of intermittent renewable energy technologies and the widespread utilization of hydrogen. Here, the rational design of a new class of hexavalent Mo/W-doped proton-conducting electrolytes with excellent durability while maintaining high conductivity is reported. Specifically, BaMo(W) 0.03 Ce 0.71 Yb 0.26 O 3-δ exhibits dramatically enhanced chemical stability against high concentrations of steam and carbon dioxide than the state-of-the-art electrolyte materials while retaining similar ionic conductivity. In addition, P-ReSOCs based on BaW 0.03 Ce 0.71 Yb 0.26 O 3-δ demonstrate high peak power densities of 1.54, 1.03, 0.72, and 0.48 W cm –2 at 650, 600, 550, and 500 °C, respectively, in the fuel cell mode. During steam electrolysis, a high current density of 2.28 A cm –2 is achieved at a cell voltage of 1.3 V at 600 °C, and the electrolysis cell can operate stably with no noticeable degradation when exposed to high humidity of 30% H 2 O at –0.5 A cm –2 and 600 °C for over 300 h. Altogether, this work demonstrates the promise of donor doping for obtaining proton conductors with both high conductivity and chemical stability for P-ReSOCs.

Durable and High-Performance SOECs Based on Proton Conductors for Hydrogen Production

Proton-conducting solid oxide electrolysis cells (P-SOECs) are a promising technology for cost-effective and efficient production of green hydrogen. Breakthroughs in materials development, optimization of cell structure, and achievement of high performance and durability are essential to significantly increase the commercial competitiveness of these technologies. The main objective of this project is to gain scientific knowledge for the rational design, fabrication, and demonstration of a robust, highly efficient, and low-cost SOEC technology based on a proton-conducting electrolyte membrane for hydrogen production. We focused on better understanding the degradation mechanisms of proton-conducting electrolytes, air electrodes, and catalyst materials under electrolysis mode to develop an effective strategy for rationalizing new materials that are vital for enhancing cell performance and durability. The scope includes enhancing the performance and durability of the electrolyte and electrode materials under realistic operating conditions, developing highly active and robust catalysts to minimize electrode losses while improving tolerance to contaminant poisoning, revealing the mechanism of enhanced activity and stability of the catalyst, and understanding the underlying degradation mechanisms. In addition, various characterization techniques were employed to gain a fundamental understanding of the materials’ behavior and their impact on cell performance, providing vital information to guide materials discovery and cell design. After defect chemistry engineering, the optimized donor and acceptor co-doped electrolytes BaMo/W 0.03 Ce 0.71 Yb 0.26 O 3-δ (BM/W03) showed substantially improved chemical stability against high concentrations of CO 2 and H 2 O compared to the state-of-the-art electrolyte (BaZr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3-δ , BZCYYb1711) while maintaining comparable ionic conductivity and ionic transference number. To bypass the inherent trade-off between conductivity and chemical stability, we fabricated a bi-layer electrolyte composed of BZCYYb1711 coated with a highly-stable thin layer of BaHf 0.83 Yb 0.17 O 3-δ (BHYb). This bi-layer electrolyte displayed excellent chemical stability against high concentration CO 2 ; there was no detectable formation of BaCO 3 after exposure to 97% CO 2 (with 3% H 2 O) at 500 °C for 1000 hours and the rate of degradation in resistance was about 0.4% per 1,000 hours (kh). In contrast, the same BZCYYb1711 electrolyte without a BHYb coating degraded significantly under the same testing conditions; the degradation rate was increased to 5.1%/kh. In addition, a triple conducting air electrode Ba 0.9 Pr 0.1 Hf 0.1 Y0.1Co 0.8 O 3-δ (BPHYC) was developed by heavily doping transition metal ions into a proton-conducting material. This air electrode material, composed of 3 distinct phases, exhibits superior electrocatalytic activity due to the synergistic effect from the three component phases. Moreover, an active and durable catalyst, La 2 Ni 0.5 Fe 0.5 O 4+δ (LNF), was developed, showing excellent catalytic activity and contaminant tolerance, with a degradation rate of only 0.49%/kh when exposed to high concentrations of steam and Cr. Finally, single cells were constructed from the best electrolytes, electrodes, and catalyst coatings developed in this project. These cells demonstrated superior high current density at a given cell voltage, high roundtrip efficiency, and remarkable durability (up to 1000 hours of operation).

Controlled exposure of CuO thin films through corrosion-protecting, ALD-deposited TiO 2 overlayers

Ultra-thin film coatings are used to protect semiconductor photoelectrodes from the harsh chemical environments common to photoelectrochemical energy conversion. These layers add contact transfer resistance to the interface that can result in a reduction of photoelectrochemical energy conversion efficiency of the photoelectrode. Here, we describe the concept of a partial protection layer, which allows for direct chemical access to a small fraction of the semiconductor underlayer for further functionalization by an electrocatalyst. The rest of the interface remains protected by a stable, inert protection layer. CuO is used as a model system for this scheme. Atomic layer deposition (ALD)-prepared TiO 2 layers on CuO thin films prepared from electrodeposited Cu 2 O allow for the control of interfacial morphology to intentionally expose the CuO underlayer. The ALD-TiO 2 overlayer shrinks during crystallization, while Cu 2 O in the underlayer expands during oxidation. As a result, the TiO 2 protection layer cracks to expose the oxidized underlying CuO layer, which can be controlled by preceding thermal oxidation. Furthermore, this work demonstrates a potentially promising strategy for the parallel optimization of photoelectrochemical interfaces for chemical stability and high performance.

Enhancing Interlayer Charge Transport of Two-Dimensional Perovskites by Structural Stabilization via Fluorine Substitution

Two-dimensional lead-halide perovskites provide a more robust alternative to three-dimensional perovskites in solar energy and optoelectronic applications due to increased chemical stability afforded by interlayer ligands. At the same time, the ligands create barriers for interlayer charge transport, reducing device performance. Using a recently developed ab initio simulation methodology, we demonstrate that ligand fluorination can enhance both hole and electron mobility by 1–2 orders of magnitude. The simulations show that the enhancement arises primarily from improved structural order and reduced thermal atomic fluctuations in the system rather than increased interlayer electronic coupling. Arising from stronger hydrogen bonding and dipolar interactions, the higher structural stability decreases the reorganization energy that enters the Marcus formula and increases the charge transfer rate. The detailed atomistic insights into the electron and hole transfer in layered perovskites indicate that the use of interlayer ligands that make the overall structure more robust is beneficial simultaneously for chemical stability and charge transport, providing an important guideline for the design of new, efficient materials.

Scalable nanomanufacturing of chalcogenide inks: a case study on thermoelectric V–VI nanoplates

Solution-processed semiconducting main-group chalcogenides (MMCs) have attracted increasing research interest for next-generation device technologies owing to their unique nanostructures and superior properties. To achieve the full potential of MMCs, the development of highly universal, scalable, and sustainable synthesis and processing methods of chalcogenide particles is thus becoming progressively more important. Here we studied scalable factors for the synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) V–VI chalcogenide nanoplates (M 2 Q 3 : M = Sb, Bi; Q = Se, Te) and systematically investigated their colloidal behaviour and chemical stability. Based on a solvent engineering technique, we demonstrated scale-up syntheses of MMCs up to a 900% increase of batch size compared with conventional hydrazine-based gram-level syntheses, and such a scalable approach is highly applicable to various binary and ternary MMCs. Furthermore, we studied the stability of printable chalcogenide nanoparticle inks with several formulation factors including solvents, additives, and pH values, resulting in inks with high chemical stability (>4 months). As a proof of concept, we applied our solution-processed chalcogenide particles to multiple additive manufacturing methods, confirming the high printability and processability of MMC inks. Furthermore, the ability to combine the top-down designing freedom of additive manufacturing with bottom-up scalable synthesis of chalcogenide particles promises great opportunities for large-scale design and manufacturing of chalcogenide-based functional devices for broad application.

Friends or Foes: Fundamental Principles of Th-Organic Scaffold Chemistry Using Zr-Analogs as a Guide

The fundamental interest in actinide chemistry, particularly for the development of thorium-based materials, is experiencing a renaissance owing to the recent and rapidly growing attention to fuel cycle reactors, radiological daughters for nuclear medicine, and efficient nuclear stockpile development. Herein, we uncover fundamental principles of thorium chemistry on the example of Th-based extended structures such as metal–organic frameworks in comparison with the discrete systems and zirconium extended analogs, demonstrating remarkable over two-and-half-year chemical stability of Th-based frameworks as a function of metal node connectivity, amount of defects, and conformational linker rigidity through comprehensive spectroscopic and crystallographic analysis as well as theoretical modeling. Despite exceptional chemical stability, we report the first example of studies focusing on the reactivity of the most chemically stable Th-based frameworks in comparison with the discrete Th-based systems such as metal–organic complexes and a cage, contrasting multicycle recyclability and selectivity (>97%) of the extended structures in comparison with the molecular compounds. Altogether, the presented work not only establishes the conceptual foundation for evaluating the capabilities of Th-based materials but also represents a milestone for their multifaceted future and foreshadows their potential to shape the next era of actinide chemistry.

Nanoribbons or weakly connected acenes? The influence of pyrene insertion on linearly extended ring systems

Derived from the lateral fusion of benzene rings, acenes are a class of π-conjugated molecules containing a single aromatic sextet, where system size is inversely correlated with chemical stability. In the pursuit of creating graphene nanoribbons/nanowires, several extended-ring structures have been synthesized through linear combinations of azaacenes and pyrene. Importantly, these extended systems demonstrate enhanced chemical stability and allow for the construction of macromolecular-sized structures. In this report we present a combined quantum-chemical and experimental study to reveal the cost of these improved characteristics in fully carbon-based systems. The results clearly show that pyrene moieties inserted among acene units do not result in long acene-like structures, rather the pyrene-inserted acene is, electronically, a series of (nearly) isolated acenes. The origin of pyrene's electronic blocking effect and implications on oxidized and photoexcited states of these extended-ring systems are detailed. The results of this investigation definitively show that coupling pyrene in an orthogonal orientation (through the 4, 5/9, 10 positions or e/l faces) to acenes should be eschewed if nanographene-/nanowire-like structures are desired.

Analysis of phase stability and chemical segregation in the Mo-V alloys using a generalized embedded atom method potential

A new interatomic potential for the Mo-V system is introduced to facilitate the study of phase stability and mechanical properties at lower temperatures. This potential is based on a generalization of the embedded atom method and includes contributions from embedding energy, explicit two- and three-body interactions and nonlocal many-body interaction terms. The parameters of the potential are optimized by using data from ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The potential is rigorously validated across a range of physical properties, such as elastic constants, equation of states, phonon dispersion curves, point defect properties and melting temperatures for different compositions. Even though our potential is trained on a small dataset, its accuracy is comparable to available machine learning potentials for Mo and V. Furthermore, our results show that an ordered B2 phase is stable at low temperatures in alloys containing 50% V, but the solid solution phase is stable above 800 K. However, such long-range ordering is not observed in V-rich or Mo-rich alloys. In addition, our results show that V segregates to dislocation cores and grain boundaries.

Controlled Dy-doping to nickel-rich cathode materials in high temperature aerosol synthesis

Layered nickel-rich materials are promising next-generation cathode materials for lithium ion batteries due to their high capacity and low cost. However, the poor thermal stability and longtime cycling performance hinders the commercial applications of high nickel materials. Doping with heteroatoms has been an effective approach for improving electrochemical performance of cathode materials. Controlling doping concentration and geometrical distribution is desired for optimal electrochemical performance, but it is challenging in traditional co-precipitation methods. In this work, controlled dysprosium (Dy) doping to NCM811 was studied in an aerosol synthesis method by controlling the precursor concentrations and heating parameters. The obtained materials were characterized by SEM, XRD, and XPS, and their electrochemical properties and thermal stability were evaluated. By controlling the doping concentration (1.5%), Dy-doped NCM811 was improved simultaneously in long-term cycling and high-rate performance. Here, the thermal-chemical stability of the Dy-doped cathode materials was examined in a microflow reactor with a mass spectrometer. The results showed that Dy-doping shifted the O 2 onset temperature to a higher temperature and reduced O 2 release by 80%, thus dramatically increasing the thermal-chemical stability and improving the fire safety of cathode materials. Since high temperature aerosol synthesis is a low-cost and scalable method, the findings in this work have broad implications for commercial synthesis of novel materials with controlled doping modification to achieve high electrochemical performance and safety in lithium ion batteries.

Alternative Pozzolans for Replacement of Fly Ash in Grout: Literature Review for Continuous Improvement of Cement Waste Forms

The Department of Energy (DOE) is currently responsible for treating radioactive and mixed waste, performing environmental restoration, and closing contaminated tanks and facilities resulting from nuclear weapons production during the Cold War. Cementitious reagents are the most widely used materials for (1) chemically stabilizing and encapsulating radionuclides and hazardous metals and (2) solidifying radioactive wastewater. Cementitious grouts and flowable concretes are also the most widely used materials for tank and facility closures and are used extensively for physical as well as chemical stabilization in environmental restoration projects. Ambient temperature radioactive waste cementation is a widely used technology for producing waste forms for final disposal. The current practice of designing and testing waste forms is based on a mid to late 20th century technology approach (i.e., materials, characterization, and test methods) for generating parameters for risk assessments. DOE technology development is needed to address both current, long-term, and emerging issues in this area as new waste streams come online and as regulations, performance knowledge, and risk assessment methodology continue to evolve. Consequently, the use of cementation as a means of treating chemically challenging radioactive liquid waste streams and reactive debris requires an enduring effort.

Defect Properties, Anion Ordering, and Photochromic Mechanism in Yttrium Oxyhydride

Yttrium oxyhydride (YHO) undergoes a reversible photochromic transition when exposed to ultraviolet light. However, the mechanism for this transformation is not fully understood, and the structure and precise chemical composition of YHO remain under debate. Here, we use first-principles density functional theory calculations with a hybrid functional to study the structure, chemical stability, and point defect properties of YHO. As experiments have shown, we find that YHO prefers a cubic structure, with H and O anions present in equal concentrations and located on tetrahedral sites. Stoichiometric and ordered YHO is chemically stable, but it has a wide band gap of 5.01 eV, considerably larger than that measured in experiments (2.4–3.8 eV). On the other hand, Y4H10O has a smaller band gap of 2.97 eV and also has a region of chemical stability; thus, the actual material may include some fraction of this H-rich structure. The defect chemistry of YHO is dominated by anionic antisite species (H O and O H ), with hydrogen interstitials (H i ) and vacancies (V H ) also present in reasonably high concentrations. We show that antisite disorder lowers the band gap relative to the perfectly ordered structure, bringing the magnitude of the gap into closer agreement with experiment. Based on our calculations of defect migration and the positions of defect states relative to the band edges, we link the onset of photochromic behavior to the reaction H O – → V O 0 + H i – , which follows photoexcitation of a H O + defect. H i – can subsequently migrate away and be trapped by additional H O + defects, contributing to the persistence of the reaction, while the resultant oxygen vacancy, V O 0 , introduces an occupied defect state that leads to optical absorption at visible wavelengths. Our results can explain reported discrepancies between experimental and computational results for YHO, and they allow us to propose specific atomic-scale processes that can lead to photochromism. In conclusion, understanding these mechanisms is key for unlocking YHO’s application in devices ranging from smart windows and optoelectronics to electrochemical synapses for neural networks.

Phase Stability of Garnet Solid-Electrolyte Interfacing with Various Cathodes in All Solid-State Batteries

Garnet-structured Li 6.75 La 3 Zr 1.75 Ta 0.25 O 12 (LLZTO) is one of the most promising electrolyte materials for solid-state Li batteries (SS-LiB). The design and fabrication of a good cathode/electrolyte interface is an important criterion for the SS-LiB. In this work, we performed a systematic study on the impact of cathode crystal structure and chemical compositions on their chemical stabilities against the LLZTO at elevated temperatures, which are required for their adhesion during cell fabrication processes. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld refinement analyses revealed the chemical stabilities of various cathode materials in contact with the LLZTO. While layered LiCoO 2 cathode showed good stability in contact with LLZTO to 900 °C, LiNiO 2 or Ni-rich LiNi x Mn y Co 1–x–y O 2 (NMC) cathodes suffered from the formation of La 4 NiLiO 8 due to La-diffusion from LLZTO. Furthermore, Mn-rich LiMn 2 O 4 spinel and layered LiNi 1/3 Mn 1/3 Co 1/3 O 2 cathodes suffered from the formation of La 2 Zr 2 O 7 due to Li-diffusion and production of Li 2 MnO 3 . As a result, LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 O 2 , having an ideal balance of Ni/Mn/Co composition, or Li 2 MnO 3 containing cathodes such as Li 1.2 Ni 0.15 Mn 0.55 Co 0.1 O 2 were found to have excellent phase stability as the cathodes for LLZTO-based SS-LiBs.

Ultrastable Gold Nanostars via Bottlebrush-like Block Copolymers

Gold (Au) nanostars are plasmonic nanostructures possessing potentials for small molecule detection, photocatalytic activities, and photothermal therapy. However, Au nanostars synthesized in the traditional way are often plagued by poor photo, thermal, and chemical stabilities. Here, we report an unconventional route to the synthesis of ultrastable colloidal Au nanostars enabled by bottlebrush-like block copolymers (BBCPs), dispensing with the need for Au seeds. Crafting of Au nanostars using BBCPs is rendered by bridging the latter with Au 3+ ions as cross-linkers that have multiple coordination sites. Notably, the presence of a covalently tethered polymer shell on the surface of Au nanostars (i.e., polymer-ligated Au nanostars) imparts remarkably high stability under high temperature and laser excitation over conventional cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-mediated Au nanostars. Due to enhanced laser stability, plasmonic fields near Au nanostars can be visualized under high laser fluence by ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) without morphological degradation. Notably, the presence of insulating polystyrene chains does not compromise the plasmonic field distribution, with the highest field intensity observed along the star arms. In conclusion, the greatly improved long-term photo, thermal, and chemical stabilities make Au nanostars a prospective noble metal nanomaterial for a range of sensing applications.
