Gradient Architecture Design in Scalable Porous Battery Electrodes

Because it has been demonstrated to be effective toward faster ion diffusion inside the pore space, low-tortuosity porous architecture has become the focus in thick electrode designs, and other possibilities are rarely investigated. Here, to advance current understanding in the structure-affected electrochemistry and to broaden horizons for thick electrode designs, we present a gradient electrode design, where porous channels are vertically aligned with smaller openings on one end and larger openings on the other. With its 3D morphology carefully visualized by Raman mapping, the electrochemical properties between opposite orientations of the gradient electrodes are compared, and faster energy storage kinetics is found in larger openings and more concentrated active material near the separator. As further verified by simulation, this study on gradient electrode design deepens the knowledge of structure-related electrochemistry and brings perspectives in high-energy battery electrode designs.

Carbon Coating Influence on the Formation of Percolating Electrode Networks for Silicon Anodes

Previous studies have demonstrated that chemical vapor deposition carbon coating on silicon (Si@C) can enhance the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries with Si-based anodes. However, the underlying mechanisms contributing to this improvement have not been fully explored. Here, we address this knowledge gap by applying a suite of characterization methods to evaluate Si@C anodes prepared by reducing acetylene on ball-milled Si particles. Raman mapping measurements show that the C coating (<5 nm thick) enables a homogeneous Si and carbon distribution during the slurry casting process, thereby promoting Si utilization during cycling. The coating’s microstructure and morphology were evaluated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning transmission electron microscopy, and neutron reflectivity experiments. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements upon cycling indicate that carbon coating also reduces the overall resistance as benchmarked against bare Si anodes. Galvanostatic cycling in half-cell studies revealed higher initial Coulombic efficiency and specific capacities with increasing carbon coating time. However, solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) investigations using XPS showed that the coated and uncoated samples have very similar characteristics, suggesting that the SEI may only play a minor role in enhancing the performance of Si@C. Full-cell evaluation of the Si electrodes was consistent with half-cell results relating to performance and SEI properties, further supporting the conclusion that electronic and ionic percolation, enabled by effective electrode manufacturing, are the dominant factors contributing to the favorable performance of Si@C.

Electrode Modification by Laser Ablation to Overcome Mechanical and Scalability Limitations of Solid-State Prealkylation of Electrode Architectures

In this work, laser ablation of Si electrode surfaces is utilized to provide localized strain relief during the Solid State Prealkylation of Electrode Architectures (SPEAR) process, in addition to volumetric expansion relief in the form of free volume channels across the electrode. A hexagonal mesh patterning was employed via laser ablation, where the hexagonal diameter (pitch) was varied from 250 to 1000 µm. It was demonstrated that these channels serve as expansion voids, accommodating the increase in electrode thickness observed during SPEAR and preventing cracking at the electrode surface. Optical microscopy and Raman mapping confirm that Li diffusion is the rate-limiting solid-state process, requiring a 24 h rest period to achieve homogeneous LixSi alloying through the electrode bulk. Electrochemical evaluations in full cells show that a 1000 μm pitch pattern yields a high initial discharge capacity of 2485 mA h g–1 and 86.4% capacity retention after 80 cycles, whereas smaller pitches (<500 μm) result in lithium plating at 4.1 V in full cells paired with NMC 811 due to excessive current collector exposure from the ablation process. XPS analysis reveals that the laser treatment modifies the electrode surface by increasing the Si–O and C–O species, changing the SEI composition observed via an increase in fluorophosphates upon cycling.

Tailoring Piezoelectricity of 3D Printing PVDF-MoS 2 Nanocomposite via In Situ Induced Shear Stress

3D printing of unique structures with tunable properties offers significant advantages in the fabrication of complex and customized electronic devices. Here, this study introduces a process-microstructure–property-guided manufacturing route to fabricate PVDF-2D MoS 2 piezoelectric nanocomposites with tunable piezoelectric properties without having a postprocess. We control PVDF’s microstructure through direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing while tuning PVDF-MoS 2 interfacial strain by controlling rheology and 3D printing parameters, such as nozzle size and printing speed. Our approach demonstrates tunable piezoelectricity in PVDF-MoS 2 , achieving a 15-fold increase in the piezoelectric coefficient (d 33 ) at a printing-induced shear stress of 6685 Pa. This enhancement arises from the electrostatic interactions between PVDF and MoS 2 and the filler distribution and alignment caused by the in situ shear stress in 3D printing, as confirmed by XPS and Raman mapping analyses. Our findings advance the understanding of piezoelectric mechanisms in PVDF-based nanocomposites, laying the foundation for 3D printing of piezoelectric sensors in wearable device applications with enhanced performance and customization capabilities.

Tough and circular glass fiber composites via a tailored dynamic boronic ester interface

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites are valued for their strength and cost-effectiveness. However, traditional GFRPs often face challenges for end-of-life recycling due to their non-depolymerizable thermoset matrices, and long-term performance due to inadequate interfacial adhesion, which can lead to fiber–matrix delamination. Here, in this work, we have designed dynamic fiber–matrix interfaces to allow tough and closed-loop recyclable GFRPs by utilizing a vitrimer, derived from upcycled polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-polystyrene (SEBS) with boronic ester (S-Bpin) and amine-based diol crosslinker. The boronic ester groups in S-Bpin form dynamic covalent bonds with the naturally present hydroxyl groups on the unsized GF surface, which eliminates the need for fiber sizing and enables facile closed-loop recyclability of both the fibers and the vitrimer matrix. The resulting strong fiber–matrix interface, depicted by the Raman mapping, leads to a 552% increase in-plane shear toughness (6.2 ± 0.3 MJ m -3 ) and 27% ultimate tensile strength (361 ± 89.2 MPa) compared to those of the conventional epoxy-based matrix (0.95 ± 0.05 MJ m -3 and 264 ± 59.7 MPa, respectively). The network rearrangement through dynamic boronic ester exchange enables fast thermoformability and repairability of micro-cracks at elevated temperatures. Additionally, both the matrix and composite demonstrate strong adhesion to various surfaces including steel and glasses exhibiting ≥6 MPa lap shear strength, which expands their suitability for diverse industrial applications. The readily created dynamic interface between boronic ester functionalized vitrimer and neat GFs presents a promising strategy for developing closed-loop recyclable, multifunctional structural materials, offering a sustainable alternative to non-recyclable thermoset GFRPs and contributes to a circular economy in composite materials.

Mechanisms enabling reconfigurability and long-term retention in vanadium oxide electrochemical memory

Phase coexistence in nanoscale electrochemical random-access memory (ECRAM) has recently been demonstrated to enable both information storage and extraordinary reconfigurability. These proof-of-principle demonstrations have left the mechanistic details of such a process unresolved. Particularly, the mechanisms that stabilize the multiple phases, and the underlying processes behind sustained memory retention, remain unclear, and are necessary to design such devices. Here we report microscale ECRAM devices composed of V⁢O𝑥, which enables us to directly probe the active region in an operando fashion using optical techniques. Using Raman mapping, we show the phase coexistence driven by the electrochemical injection of O vacancies to be spatially uniform (i.e., with no filaments). The stability was observed to be unusually long, with 1% loss over 14 years in ambient conditions. First-principles calculations of the oxygen vacancy formation energies in V⁢O 𝑥 further support the thermodynamic coexistence of multiple V⁢O 𝑥 phases and clarify the origin of the observed long-term retention in the ECRAM devices. Further, we demonstrate single devices that can be voltage programmed to exhibit synaptic, neuronal, and reconfigurable logic gate functionalities. Furthermore, we not only uncover the phase coexistence mechanism that may help device design, but also demonstrate the circuit-level applications of reconfigurability.

Interface-enhanced conductivities in surfactant-mediated, solution-grown ionic crystalline complexes

Renewable energy is increasingly relying on optimized electrolytes and interfaces. In this work, Tween 20 and sodium chloride are selected as a model system to reveal the effects of surfactants on salt crystallization in the context of ionic conductivity and interface optimization. At a varied crystallization speed and mix ratio, it is demonstrated that the resultant solution-grown ionic crystalline complexes can achieve a highly tunable ion transport with a controllable crystalline interface. X-ray diffraction results rule out the possibility of polymorphism in the NaCl/Tween 20 systems, which further supports the importance of an optimized crystalline network for optimizing permittivity or ionic conductivity. Raman mapping and machine learning techniques are used to perform semantic segmentation on highly heterogeneous NaCl/Tween 20 complexes. Furthermore, FTIR measurements demonstrate that inter- and intra-molecular interactions play critical roles in the formation of these crystals. This work lays a foundation toward future optimization of such complex ion systems for a specific salt or crystallization modifier in energy storage or ion transport applications.

Spatially Resolved Raman Spectroscopic Investigation of Uranyl Fluoride: A Case Study in the Importance of Instrument Optimization

Raman spectroscopy is an emerging technique for rapid and nondestructive analysis of nuclear materials for forensic and nonproliferation applications as it is a powerful tool for distinguishing multiple chemical forms of materials with similar stoichiometries. Recent developments in spectroscopic software have enabled rapid data collection with high-speed Raman spectroscopic mapping capabilities. However, some uranium-rich materials are susceptible to degradation in humid air and/or laser-induced phase transformations. To mitigate environmental or measurement-related sample degradation of potential samples of interest, we have taken a systematic approach to define optimized data collection parameters for high-throughput measurements of uranyl fluoride (UO 2 F 2 ), which is an important intermediate material in the nuclear fuel cycle. First, we systematically describe the influence of optical magnification (5× to 100×), laser power, and exposure time on obtained signal for identical particles of UO 2 F 2 and find that at low laser power and exposure times, comparable signal is obtained regardless of optical magnification. Second, we ensure sample integrity during data collection, and third, collect spectroscopic maps that employ optimized parameters to reduce the time required to obtain spatially resolved spectroscopic information. Reductions of 90% and 99% in measurement times are discussed as they relate to differences in resolving spectroscopic features of particles in identical mapping areas. Finally, during this work, we found that additional data processing options were needed and thus developed a customized Python script for importing, processing, analyzing, and visualizing Raman spectroscopic map data.

Unraveling the Correlation between Raman and Photoluminescence in Monolayer MoS 2 through Machine‐Learning Models

Abstract 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with intense and tunable photoluminescence (PL) have opened up new opportunities for optoelectronic and photonic applications such as light‐emitting diodes, photodetectors, and single‐photon emitters. Among the standard characterization tools for 2D materials, Raman spectroscopy stands out as a fast and non‐destructive technique capable of probing material's crystallinity and perturbations such as doping and strain. However, a comprehensive understanding of the correlation between photoluminescence and Raman spectra in monolayer MoS 2 remains elusive due to its highly nonlinear nature. Here, the connections between PL signatures and Raman modes are systematically explored, providing comprehensive insights into the physical mechanisms correlating PL and Raman features. This study's analysis further disentangles the strain and doping contributions from the Raman spectra through machine‐learning models. First, a dense convolutional network (DenseNet) to predict PL maps by spatial Raman maps is deployed. Moreover, a gradient boosted trees model (XGBoost) with Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) to bridge the impact of individual Raman features in PL features is applied. Last, a support vector machine (SVM) to project PL features on Raman frequencies is adopted. This work may serve as a methodology for applying machine learning to characterizations of 2D materials.

High-fidelity and high-resolution phase mapping of granites via confocal Raman imaging

Abstract In physical sciences such as chemistry and earth sciences, specifically for characterization of minerals in a rock, automated, objective mapping methods based on elemental analysis have replaced traditional optical petrography. However, mineral phase maps obtained from these newer approaches rely on conversion of elemental compositions to mineralogical compositions and thus cannot distinguish mineral polymorphs. Secondly, these techniques often require laborious sample preparations such as sectioning, polishing, and coating which are time-consuming. Here, we develop a new Raman imaging protocol that is capable of mapping unpolished samples with an auto-focusing Z-mapping feature that allows direct fingerprinting of different polymorphs. Specifically, we report a new methodology for generating high fidelity phase maps by exploiting characteristic peak intensity ratios which can be extended to any multi-phase, heterogenous system. Collectively, these enhancements allow us to rapidly map an unpolished granite specimen (~ 2 × 2 mm) with an exceptionally high accuracy (> 97%) and an extremely fine spatial resolution (< 0.3–2 µm).

Mapping the Residual Stress Distribution in Polycrystalline Quartz Tiger's Eye Using Raman Spectroscopy

Stress distribution maps in polycrystalline materials are needed to reveal stress pathways caused by short‐and long‐range interactions of crystallites. Stress induced changes to wavenumbers in Raman spectroscopy is a well‐known phenomenon that occurs when a crystalline material undergoes elastic strain. Using spatially resolved Raman spectroscopy, we have developed a technique to experimentally measure grain‐scale residual stresses across a sample of polycrystal quartz Tiger's Eye. The results of this technique are validated using multiple criteria, including evaluation of the residual stress map itself and the accuracy of the measurements taken. The residual map of Tiger's Eye shows striking similarity to observed characteristics of other polycrystalline residual stress distributions, revealing heterogenous areas of high and low magnitude stresses. The stress magnitudes are consistent with residual stress magnitudes previously measured from polycrystalline quartz. Characterization of Tiger's Eye quartz also revealed the geometric nature of the iron oxide inclusions, not previously observed in Tiger's Eye quartz. With this technique, we present a residual stress map of Tiger's Eye quartz that shows with accuracy a heterogeneous stress state with inter‐ and intra‐granular detail.

Electron- and light-induced stimulated Raman spectroscopy for nanoscale molecular mapping

We propose and theoretically analyze a new vibrational spectroscopy, termed electron- and light-induced stimulated Raman (ELISR) scattering, that combines the high spatial resolution of elec-tron microscopy with the molecular sensitivity of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. WithELISR, electron-beam excitation of plasmonic nanoparticles is utilized as a spectrally-broadband butspatially-confined Stokes beam in the presence of a diffraction-limited pump laser. To characterizethis technique, we develop a numerical model and conduct full-field electromagnetic simulations toinvestigate two distinct nanoparticle geometries, nanorods and nanospheres, coated with a Raman-active material. Our results show the significant (10 6 -10 7 ) stimulated Raman enhancement that isachieved with dual electron and optical excitation of thesenanoparticle geometries. Importantly,the spatial resolution of this vibrational spectroscopy for electron microscopy is solely determinedby the nanoparticle geometry and the plasmon mode volume. Our results highlight the promiseof ELISR for simultaneous high-resolution electron microscopy with sub-diffraction-limited Ramanspectroscopy, complementing advances in superresolutionmicroscopy, correlated light and electronmicroscopy, and vibrational electron energy loss spectroscopy.

Optical vibrational spectra and proposed crystal structure of ε-UO 3

ε-UO 3 is an exotic polymorph in the uranium trioxide system with an undetermined crystal structure and limited optical vibrational spectroscopic data. To improve understanding of this compound, we synthesize and investigate the crystal structure and optical vibrational spectra of ε-UO 3 . Infrared spectra collected for ε-UO 3 are in good agreement with previously published results, and our studies extend the available data into the low-energy (600–100 cm –1 ) regime. For the first time, Raman spectra are presented for ε-UO 3 using both 785 and 532 nm excitation wavelengths. Previous reports suggest an impurity phase may be present in ε-UO 3 produced by calcination of U 3 O 8 ; however, spectral center-of-mass calculations, principal component analyses, and Raman spectroscopic mapping employed to investigate this possibility indicate that the product of U 3 O 8 calcined in O 3 (g) in this work is likely phase-pure. A possible novel structure solution for ε-UO 3 is determined via Rietveld refinement of powder X-ray diffraction data and is triclinic, P-1, with a = 4.01 Å, b = 3.85 Å, c = 4.18 Å, and α = 98.26°, β = 90.41°, γ = 120.46° (R wp = 8.30%). The asymmetric unit of ε-UO 3 consists of U(VI) in hexagonal bipyramidal coordination with displaced equatorial oxygen. Further analysis reveals that the structure of ε-UO3 is best described by a 2 × 1 × 2 supercell structure in P-1 with a = 8.03 Å, b = 3.86 Å, c = 8.37 Å with α = 98.26°, β = 90.41°, and γ = 120.46°, although a higher-symmetry structure is possible. Optical vibrational spectroscopic and structural measurements of ε-UO 3 presented here furthers our understanding of this complex uranium oxide and clarifies the origin of reported structural similarity to U 3 O 8 .

Understanding the structural and morphological effects of synthesis route on NpO 2

The availability of actinide standard materials for use in nuclear safeguard applications is critical, as is thorough characterization thereof. Although accurate trace element compositions and isotopic considerations are paramount for deployment of reference standards, structural characterization is also essential towards accurately describing the chemical form and potential matrix effects in candidate materials. Here, to this end, samples of NpO 2 were synthesized via a direct denitration (DD) method and probed with powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for structural and morphological characterization and comparison with NpO 2 materials produced via modified direct denitration (MDD). PXRD confirmed the bulk identity of NpO 2 , and no additional phases were identified using this method. Analysis of Raman data collected using a 532 nm excitation wavelength indicates that samples are mostly phase pure; however, some variability in spectral features is observed. Analysis of additional spectroscopic data collected with a 785 nm excitation wavelength revealed variability in the relative intensity of spectral features. Raman spectroscopy indicates that the sample is primarily NpO 2 ; however, additional signals indicate possible structural disorder, oxidized species, or potential contributions from other Np phases. To further investigate the possibility of additional phase contributions within the sample of NpO 2 , Raman spectroscopic mapping was employed to examine the homogeneity of the sample produced via DD. From this analysis, we determined that despite variability in the intensity of Raman-active vibrational modes, consistent spectra are obtained throughout the area of the sample investigated. SEM images show aggregates with variable sizes and shapes, with rounded, primary particles possessing an average diameter of approximately 100 nm. Comparison of the results of these multimodal analyses to the literature indicates that the crystal chemical, spectroscopic, and microstructural properties of NpO 2 vary based on synthesis method, even if X-ray diffraction data indicate that the bulk phase is NpO 2 .

Tribocatalytically-activated formation of protective friction and wear reducing carbon coatings from alkane environment

Minimizing the wear of the surfaces exposed to mechanical shear stresses is a critical challenge for maximizing the lifespan of rotary mechanical parts. In this study, we have discovered the anti-wear capability of a series of metal nitride-copper nanocomposite coatings tested in a liquid hydrocarbon environment. The results indicate substantial reduction of the wear in comparison to the uncoated steel substrate. Analysis of the wear tracks indicates the formation of carbon-based protective films directly at the sliding interface during the tribological tests. Raman spectroscopy mapping of the wear track suggests the amorphous carbon (a-C) nature of the formed tribofilm. Further analysis of the tribocatalytic activity of the best coating candidate, MoN-Cu, as a function of load (0.25–1 N) and temperature (25 °C and 50 °C) was performed in three alkane solutions, decane, dodecane, and hexadecane. Results indicated that elevated temperature and high contact pressure lead to different tribological characteristics of the coating tested in different environments. The elemental energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy analysis and Raman analysis revealed formation of the amorphous carbon film that facilitates easy shearing at the contact interface thus enabling more stable friction behavior and lower wear of the tribocatalytic coating. These findings provide new insights into the tribocatalysis mechanism that enables the formation of zero-wear coatings.

Surface Conversion of Single-Crystal Bi 2 Se 3 to β-In 2 Se 3

In this work, we demonstrate that the surface layers of single-crystal layered-2D Bi 2 Se 3 can be converted to layered-2D rhombohedral ß-In 2 Se 3 by annealing under a trimethylindium (TMIn) flux. Samples were prepared in a metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) chamber, then transferred under vacuum to a surface analysis chamber for analysis with low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and Auger electron spectroscopy. Additional ex situ characterization included x-ray diffraction, transmission-electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) elemental mapping, and Raman spectroscopy. The resulting single-crystal ß-In 2 Se 3 adopts the rhombohedral crystal structure (space group R-3m) and orientation of the underlying Bi 2 Se 3 , and the excess Bi atoms generated by this process create an underlying region of Bi-rich Bi x Se y . Due to the difference in bandgap between Bi 2 Se 3 and In 2 Se 3 , this conversion reaction presents a pathway to lateral heterojunctions if only selected regions are converted by masking the surface to spatially define the TMIn exposure. The conversion may also have implications for heteroepitaxy, because the in-plane lattice constants of Bi 2 Se 3 and In 2 Se 3 (0001) surfaces match those of InP and GaAs (111), respectively, and the natural cleavage planes of a layered-2D crystal facilitate substrate removal and reuse.

Corrosion of novel reactive silver ink and commercial silver-based metallizations in diluted acetic acid

Silver-based metallizations in photovoltaic modules are susceptible to corrosion by acetic acid generated in ethylene vinyl acetate encapsulated modules, resulting in power losses over time. Here, three silver-based metallizations are exposed to diluted acetic acid, in concentrations representative of that found in field-exposed modules. Compositional, morphological, and structural changes of the metallizations are studied over 3000 h of exposure to diluted acetic acid using Raman spectroscopy mapping, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The three metallizations studied are: 1) a commercial high-temperature fire-through Ag paste, commonly used for Si diffused junction solar cells; 2) a commercial low-temperature paste normally used for silicon heterojunction cells; and 3) a novel low-temperature reactive silver ink shown to be suitable for photovoltaic applications. We find distinct corrosion rates for the high-temperature silver paste and reactive silver ink in the presence of diluted acetic acid. However, the low-temperature silver paste appears to be more corrosion resistant, likely due to a polymer layer that protects the silver particles.

Multidimensional visualization of the dynamic evolution of Li metal via in situ/operando methods

The growing demands for high-energy density electrical energy storage devices stimulate the coupling of conversion-type cathodes and lithium (Li) metal anodes. While promising, the use of these “Li-free” cathodes brings new challenges to the Li anode interface, as Li needs to be dissolved first during cell operation. In this study, we have achieved a direct visualization and comprehensive analysis of the dynamic evolution of the Li interface. The critical metrics of the interfacial resistance, Li growth, and solid electrolyte interface (SEI) distribution during the initial dissolution/deposition processes were systematically investigated by employing multidimensional analysis methods. They include three-electrode impedance tests, in situ atomic force microscopy, scanning electrochemical microscopy, and cryogenic scanning transmission electron microscopy. The high-resolution imaging and real-time observations show that a loose, diffuse, and unevenly distributed SEI is formed during the initial dissolution process. This leads to the dramatically fast growth of Li during the subsequent deposition, deviating from Fick’s law, which exacerbates the interfacial impedance. The compactness of the interfacial structure and enrichment of electrolyte species at the surface during the initial deposition play critical roles in the long-term stability of Li anodes, as revealed by operando confocal Raman spectroscopic mapping. In conclusion, our observations relate to ion transfer, morphological and structural evolution, and Li (de)solvation at Li interfaces, revealing the underlying pathways influenced by the initial dissolution process, which promotes a reconsideration of anode investigations and effective protection strategies.
