Mechanistic Insights into Defect-Mediated Crystallization Revealed by Lattice Strain Evolution

Structural defects and lattice strain are intrinsic to many crystalline materials, yet their roles in controlling chemical reaction mechanisms and directing crystallization pathways remain poorly understood. Here, in this study, we revealed the three-dimensional evolution of strain and dislocation defects at the nanoscale during the growth of heterogeneously nucleated barite (BaSO 4 ) and calcite (CaCO 3 ) crystals by using coherent X-ray scattering, electron microscopy, and molecular simulations. Unlike barite, which formed with minimal internal strain, calcite developed dislocation defects and exhibited spatially varying strain that increased during growth. During growth in Sr-rich solutions, calcite likely incorporates Sr 2+ into the defects, which further modulates the local lattice structure and increases both the compressive and tensile strain. These findings suggest that calcite crystallization was likely dominated by attachment of precursor phases, which gave rise to defect-enriched domain structures not predicted by classical growth models. By linking defect formation to ion incorporation and growth dynamics, this work provides fundamental insight into how lattice-level strain heterogeneity governs the chemical reactivity of ionic crystals.

An Atomic View of Cation Diffusion Pathways from Single‐Crystal Topochemical Transformations

Abstract The diffusion pathways of Li‐ions as they traverse cathode structures in the course of insertion reactions underpin many questions fundamental to the functionality of Li‐ion batteries. Much current knowledge derives from computational models or the imaging of lithiation behavior at larger length scales; however, it remains difficult to experimentally image Li‐ion diffusion at the atomistic level. Here, by using topochemical Li‐ion insertion and extraction to induce single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal transformations in a tunnel‐structured V 2 O 5 polymorph, coupled with operando powder X‐ray diffraction, we leverage single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction to identify the sequence of lattice interstitial sites preferred by Li‐ions to high depths of discharge, and use electron density maps to create a snapshot of ion diffusion in a metastable phase. Our methods enable the atomistic imaging of Li‐ions in this cathode material in kinetic states and provide an experimentally validated angstrom‐level 3D picture of atomic pathways thus far only conjectured through DFT calculations.

In Situ Imaging of Faujasite Surface Growth Reveals Unique Pathways of Zeolite Crystallization

Zeolite crystallization occurs by complex processes involving a variety of possible mechanisms. The sol gel media used to prepare zeolites leads to heterogeneous mixtures of solution and solid states with diverse solute species. At later stages of zeolite synthesis when growth occurs predominantly from solution, classical two-dimensional nucleation and spreading of layers on crystal surfaces via the addition of soluble species is the dominant pathway. At earlier stages, these processes occur in parallel with nonclassical pathways involving crystallization by particle attachment (CPA). The relative roles of solution- and solid-state species in zeolite crystallization have been a subject of debate. Here, in this work, we investigate the growth mechanism of a commercially relevant zeolite, faujasite (FAU). In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements reveal that supernatant solutions extracted from a conventional FAU synthesis at various times do not result in growth, indicating that FAU growth predominantly occurs from the solid state through a disorder-to-order transition of amorphous precursors. Elemental analysis shows that supernatant solutions are significantly more siliceous than both the original growth mixture and the FAU zeolite product; however, in situ AFM studies using a dilute clear solution with a lower Si/Al ratio revealed three-dimensional growth of surfaces that is distinct from layer-by-layer and CPA pathways. This unique mechanism of growth differs from those observed in studies of other zeolites. Given that relatively few zeolite frameworks have been the subject of mechanistic investigation by in situ techniques, these observations of FAU crystallization raise the question whether its growth pathway is characteristic of other zeolite structures.

Hematite Crystallization from a Two-Line Ferrihydrite Suspension

Rational design and synthesis of materials, determination of environmental conditions at the time of mineral formation, and definition of mechanisms in biomineralizing systems all require an understanding of the effect of multiple factors on modulating crystallization pathways. In this study, we investigate the influence of temperature, oxalate additive, aging time, and addition of seed crystals on hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3 , Hm) crystallization from a two-line ferrihydrite (Fe 2 O 3 ·xH 2 O, Fh) suspension. We also investigate the effect of temperature on the aging of spindle-shaped Hm mesocrystals, which we synthesize through the addition of sodium oxalate. The results show that Hm mesocrystals form in a temperature window of 45 °C-130 °C. Temperatures ≥ 140 °C favor formation of rhombohedral Hm, suggesting classical monomer-by-monomer growth dominates, whereas crystallization by particle attachment (CPA) is dominant between 45 and 90 °C, while the two processes compete in the intermediate temperature range. Aging of mesocrystals in the original solution at 90 °C or 180 °C leads to a slow morphological evolution towards rhombohedral crystals due to Ostwald ripening. Then, by utilizing rhombohedral Hm and rod-shaped goethite as substrates on which to assemble the mesocrystals, we demonstrate formation of complex heterogeneous structures.

Visualizing Crystallization Dynamics and Transformation Pathways of Disordered Rocksalt Oxides During Thermally Activated Sol–Gel Synthesis

Sol–gel synthesis is a wet-chemical processing route for fabricating functional materials with control over composition and microstructure at relatively low temperatures compared to conventional solid-state synthesis. While sol–gel process initiates with intermixed molecular precursors, the early-stage nucleation pathways are insufficiently understood. Here, in this study, the chemical and structural transformation of ion disordered rocksalt (DRX) Li 1.2 Mn 0.4 Ti 0.4 O 2 (LMTO), a promising cathode material for lithium batteries, is studied by multiscale characterizations. In situ heating transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using a liquid cell visualizes and identifies crystallization pathways at the nanoscale. While some regions follow a classical multi-step transition through thermodynamically stable intermediates, others exhibit a kinetic shortcut via a localized amorphous matrix to directly form the DRX structure. Macroscale Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy corroborates the findings and reveals that transition metal ions are more strongly incorporated into the acetate-coordinated network than lithium. Although in situ heating TEM captures diverse local transformation pathways, in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction indicates that the macroscopic transformation proceeds predominantly through spinel LMTO and lithium titanates toward DRX-LMTO. The findings uncover the spatiotemporal chemical and structural transformations in sol–gel derived DRX-LMTO materials, and call for fine-tuning of such sol–gel chemistries to manipulate the crystallization pathways and achieve target material homogeneity more efficiently.

Aggregation Dynamics of Colloidal Particles in Tin Perovskite Crystalline Film Formation

We present an approach to understanding the crystallization of tin-based perovskite films for photovoltaic applications, starting from precursor suspensions processed via spin-coating. By integrating colloidal theory with the fluid dynamics of suspensions, this approach elucidates the influence of both chemical variables and process parameters on the crystallization pathways of perovskite suspensions and the resulting microstructural features of the solid films. Specifically, the incorporation of SnCl 2 as an additive was found to accelerate crystallization, whereas tBP induces a slowdown of the process leading, however, to a marked improvement in film uniformity and microstructural quality.

Solvent Determines the Formation Pathway in Sol–Gel Synthesized Disordered Rock Salt Material for Lithium Ion Battery Application

The increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries with high capacity and cycling stability, in combination with the scarcity of cobalt and nickel, has led to significant efforts to develop new cathode materials based on earth-abundant transition metals. Mn- and Ti-based disordered rock salt (DRX) cathodes are promising candidates fulfilling these requirements. However, their large-scale fabrication can be energy- and time-intensive using traditional fabrication methods, e.g., solid-state synthesis. The present study showcases sol-gel synthesis as an alternative method with control over the crystallization pathway through solvent choice. Dimethylformamide (DMF) aids the homogenization of the transition metals during early crystallization stages and formation of Li2TiO3 and LiMn2O4 intermediates before the DRX phase is formed. In contrast, 2-methoxyethanol (2-ME) shows transition metal segregation and formation of an additional transition metal intermediate (Ti2MnO4) while not resulting in phase-pure DRX material after calcination. Coin cells prepared with DMF-material yield higher capacity and cycling stability compared with 2-ME material.

Manipulating the Crystallization Kinetics by Additive Engineering toward High-Efficient Photovoltaic Performance

Additive processing is proven to be an effective method to improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells; however, its intrinsic role in directing the crystallization pathway and thus morphology formation remains unknown. In situ grazing-incidence wide-angle x-ray scattering (GIWAXS) is applied to study the function of a 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) additive in manipulating the crystallization behavior of perovskite thin films. It is seen that the DIO additive could induce multi-stage intermediate crystallization phases and increases the activation energy for nucleation and growth, which postpones the perovskite phase transformation time and broadens the transition zone. The elongated crystallization process affords improved perovskite thin film crystallinity and reduces defect density, which enables a longer carrier diffusion length. As a result, improved device efficiency, moisture, and thermal stability can be achieved. The following study provides a new prospective in understanding the additive function in perovskite thin film morphology control from fundamental parameters, indicating the importance of minor processing conditions in global property management toward high device performance.

The 2.4 Å structure of Zymomonas mobilis pyruvate kinase: Implications for stability and regulation

Human liver pyruvate kinase (hlPYK) catalyzes the final step in glycolysis, the formation of pyruvate (PYR) and ATP from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and ADP. Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), a pathway intermediate of glycolysis, serves as an allosteric activator of hlPYK. Zymomonas mobilis pyruvate kinase (ZmPYK) performs the final step of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway, which is similar to glycolysis in that energy is harvested from glucose and pyruvate is generated. The Entner-Doudoroff pathway does not have FBP as a pathway intermediate, and ZmPYK is not allosterically activated. In this work, we solved the 2.4 Å X-ray crystallographic structure of ZmPYK. The protein is dimeric in solution as determined by gel filtration chromatography, but crystallizes as a tetramer. The buried surface area of the ZmPYK tetramerization interface is significantly smaller than that of hlPYK, and yet tetramerization using the standard interfaces from higher organisms provides an accessible low energy crystallization pathway. Interestingly, the ZmPYK structure showed a phosphate ion in the analogous location to the 6-phosphate binding site of FBP in hlPYK. Circular Dichroism (CD) was used to measure melting temperatures of hlPYK and ZmPYK in the absence and presence of substrates and effectors. The only significant difference was an additional phase of small amplitude for the ZmPYK melting curves. We conclude that the phosphate ion plays neither a structural or allosteric role in ZmPYK under the conditions tested. In conclusion, we hypothesize that ZmPYK does not have sufficient protein stability for activity to be tuned by allosteric effectors as described for rheostat positions in the allosteric homologues.

Mechanistic Tuning of Chemical Transformations for Coupling the Geo-mimicry of Acid Gas Storage with Design Strategies to Produce Clean Energy Carriers in Multi-Phase Reaction Environments (MATTER) (Final Report)

The need to diversify approaches to produce essential energy carriers such as H 2 motivate advances in thermodynamically downhill geo-inspired pathways. Currently, more than 80% of hydrogen is produced via steam methane reforming (SMR) followed by water gas shift reaction (WGSR) pathway with the co-production of CO 2 . As an alternative to introducing CO 2 separation strategies downstream such as the use of membranes, solvents, or sorbents, geo-inspired carbon mineralization is harnessed as an alternative crystallization pathway. The thermodynamically downhill carbon mineralization pathways are hypothesized to accelerate H2 conversion while separating CO 2 . The work conducted through this project discusses the mechanisms associated with coupling the water gas shift reaction (WGSR) with carbon mineralization. In addition to harnessing Ca- and Mg-bearing oxides or hydroxides that are known to be reactive for CO 2 capture, the use of earth abundant silicate minerals such as Ca- and Mg-bearing silicates, is also investigated. Key outcomes include approaches to architect Mg-silicate with well-controlled pore size distributions, probing the enhancement in H 2 yield with inherent CO 2 suppression using Ca- and Mg-bearing oxides, hydroxides, and silicates, elucidating the changes in silicate chemistry during carbon mineralization, and exploring direct integration of carbon mineralization with WGSR and the development of separate low temperature pathway for reactive CO 2 capture and mineralization are developed.

Theory-Guided Inelastic Neutron Scattering of Crystalline Alkaline Aluminate Salts Bearing Principal Motifs of Solution-State Species

Aluminate salts precipitated from caustic alkaline solutions exhibit a correlation between the anionic speciation and the identity of the alkali cation in the precipitate, with the aluminate ions occurring either in monomeric (Al(OH) 4 – ) or dimeric (Al 2 O(OH) 6 2– ) forms. The origin of this correlation is poorly understood as are the roles that oligomeric aluminate species play in determining the solution structure, prenucleation clusters, and precipitation pathways. Characterization of aluminate solution speciation with vibrational spectroscopy results in spectra that are difficult to interpret because the ions access a diverse and dynamic configurational space. To investigate the Al(OH) 4 – and Al 2 O(OH) 6 2– anions within a well-defined crystal lattice, inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and Raman spectroscopic data were collected and simulated by density functional theory for K 2 [Al 2 O(OH) 6 ], Rb 2 [Al 2 O(OH) 6 ], and Cs[Al(OH) 4 ]·2H 2 O. These structures capture archetypal solution aluminate species: the first two salts contain dimeric Al 2 O(OH) 6 2– anions, while the third contains the monomeric Al(OH) 4 – anion. Here, comparisons were made to the INS and Raman spectra of sodium aluminate solutions frozen in a glassy state. In contrast to solution systems, the crystal lattice of the salts results in well-defined vibrations and associated resolved bands in the INS spectra. The use of a theory-guided analysis of the INS of this solid alkaline aluminate series revealed that differences were related to the nature of the hydrogen-bonding network and showed that INS is a sensitive probe of the degree of completeness and strength of the bond network in hydrogen-bonded materials. Results suggest that the ionic size may explain cation-specific differences in crystallization pathways in alkaline aluminate salts.

Dynamic Barriers to Crystallization of Calcium Barium Carbonates

Metastable carbonates play important roles in geochemistry, biomineralization and serve as model systems for nonclassical theories of nucleation and growth. Balcite (Ca 0.5 Ba 0.5 CO 3 ) is a remarkable carbonate phase that is isostructural with a high-temperature modification of calcite (CaCO 3 ), yet can be synthesized at ambient conditions. Here, we investigate crystallization pathways in the Ba-Ca-CO 3 -H 2 O system, with a focus on the transformation of amorphous calcium barium carbonate (ACBC) to balcite and subsequent decomposition into the equilibrium calcite (CaCO3) and witherite (BaCO 3 ) phases. Density functional theory calculations show that balcite is an unstable solid solution (Ca 1-x BaxCO 3 , R 3¯ m) in the range 0.17 < x < 0.5, but is accessible through the amorphous ACBC precursor for x ≲ 0.5, and predict its decomposition into calcite and witherite. We confirm this pathway experimentally but found demixing to proceed slowly and remain incomplete even after 9 months. Nucleation kinetics of balcite from ACBC was assessed using a microfluidic assay, where increasing barium content led to a surprising increase in the balcite nucleation rate, despite decreasing thermodynamic driving force. We attribute crystallization rates that dramatically accelerate with time to changes in interfacial structure and composition during coarsening of the amorphous precipitate. By carefully quantifying the thermodynamic and kinetic contributions in the multistep crystallization of a metastable carbonate, we produce insights that allow us to better interpret the formation and persistence of metastable minerals in natural and synthetic environments.

Solvation directed morphological control in metal oxide nanostructures

The development of structural hierarchy on various length scales during the crystallization process is ubiquitous in biological systems and minerals and is common in synthetic nanomaterials. The driving forces for the formation of complex architectures range from local interfacial interactions, that modify interfacial speciation, local supersaturation, and nucleation barriers, to macroscopic interparticle forces. Although it is enticing to interpret the formation of hierarchical architectures as the assembly of independently nucleated building blocks, crystallization pathways often follow monomer-by-monomer addition with structural complexity arising from interfacial chemical coupling and strongly correlated fluctuation dynamics in the electric double layers. Here, we show that the development of structural hierarchy through heterogeneous nucleation is driven by dipolar and solvation forces. Specifically, coupled simulations and experimental studies revealed that dipole build-up along the slow growth direction can trigger twinning and the development of branched architectures. Enthalpic solvation interactions were shown to either enhance or reduce the dipole moment of the nanoparticles and, thereby, control crystal morphology and architecture. The systematic studies of chemical coupling between different solvents and undercoordinated surface atoms of the growing nanocrystals revealed the mechanism of dimensionality control and the development of structural hierarchy without ligands or structure-directing agents.

Solvent‐free Synthesis of Multi‐Module Pore‐Space‐Partitioned Metal‐Organic Frameworks for Gas Separation

Abstract Multi‐module design of framework materials with multiple distinct building blocks has attracted much attention because such materials are more amenable to compositional and geometrical tuning and thus offer more opportunities for property optimization. Few examples are known that use environmentally friendly and cost‐effective solvent‐free method to synthesize such materials. Here, we report the use of solvent‐free method (also modulator‐free) to synthesize a series of multi‐module MOFs with high stability and separation property for C 2 H 2 /CO 2 . The synthesis only requires simple mixing of reactants and short reaction time (2 h). Highly porous and stable materials can be made without any post‐synthetic activation. The success of solvent‐free synthesis of multi‐module MOFs reflects the synergy between different modules, resulting in stable pore‐partitioned materials, despite the fact that other competitive crystallization pathways with simpler framework compositions also exist.

Effect of the Precursor Chemistry on the Crystallization of Triple Cation Mixed Halide Perovskites

Triple cation, mixed halide perovskite compositions have been reported to be more thermally stable, exhibit fewer phase impurities, and show higher power conversion efficiency and better reproducibility than single cation perovskites. In this work, we explain the formation of Cs0.05FA0.81MA0.14Pb(I0.85Br0.15)3 via a multimodal in situ study combining structural information from synchrotron grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) and optical properties from photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy with density functional theory calculations (DFT). The focus here is on the effects of the solvent and antisolvent during crystallization. The predominantly used solvents N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and the antisolvent chlorobenzene (CB) as well as the solvent-antisolvent-precursor interactions are investigated. Given the high elemental complexity and mutual interdependencies between solvent, antisolvent, and perovskite precursors, we found significant differences in the crystallization pathways. DMF-pure precursors show the formation of the DMF-containing intermediate phase and the nucleation of compositionally distinct perovskite phases, while when DMSO is added, only crystalline α- and δ-phases were found. In addition, the presence of DMSO helps the formation of α-perovskite. Coordination energy and bond order (BO) calculations support our experimental findings. Dripping of CB induces nucleation at room temperature, slows the α-phase formation rate, and appears to reduce the nucleation radius. These findings provide novel insights into solvent, antisolvent, and perovskite precursor interactions and their formation pathways. The complexity of interactions between solvents and reagents highlights the importance of understanding these effects to further improve the reproducibility and optimize processing conditions.

Effect of Hydrophilicity and Interfacial Water Structure on Particle Attachment

Oriented attachment (OA) of nanoparticles is an important and common crystallization pathway. Efforts to isolate and quantify the interparticle forces that underlie OA have only recently been initiated and the role played by the interfacial solvent structure in the confined region between nanocrystal surfaces in enabling and controlling OA remains an open question. In this work, classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to compute the free energy landscape of nanoparticles approaching mineral substrates in both vacuum and pure water. Periclase (MgO), muscovite (KAl 3 Si 3 O 10 (OH) 2 ), and pyrophyllite (Al 2 Si 4 O 10 (OH) 2 ) nanoparticles exposing the (100), (001), and (001) surfaces, respectively, were brought to contact with substrates exposing the same surfaces. These mineral surfaces were selected to investigate a range of hydrophilicities (periclase > muscovite > pyrophyllite). The MD simulations revealed that the interfacial water structure created free energy minima for nanoparticle approach that corresponded to integer numbers of intervening water layers. The depth of the free energy minima and the free energy barriers between minima correlated positively with the hydrophilicity of the mineral surface. While the range of solvent-mediated interactions was predicted to be short (a few intervening water layers at most for MgO), the free energy barriers were calculated to be large (fraction of an eV per nm 2 ) and the effect of misalignment diminished rapidly with the number of intervening water layers. The results help explain the formation of mesocrystals and the observed ability of nanoparticles to rotate before attachment while in a long-lived solvent-separated state.

Impact of Stabilizing Cations on Lithium Intercalation in Tunneled Manganese Oxide Cathodes

Stabilizing cations such as K + , Ba 2+ , and Ag + are known to provide charge neutrality and enhance structural stability in low-cost tunneled manganese dioxide (MnO 2 ) cathodes for Li ion batteries. However, a fundamental understanding of the role of these cations in the electrochemical performance of tunneled MnO 2 cathodes remains unclear, especially at low stabilizing cation concentrations. Here, we employ density functional theory (DFT + U) calculations to reveal the impact of stabilizing potassium cation (K + ) concentration on the structural stability, electronic properties, and kinetics of lithium transport in 2 x 2 tunneled manganese oxide (α-K y Mn 8 O 16 , at y = 0, 1, and 2) battery cathodes during lithium intercalation. Specifically, we provide insights into the effect of K + ions on several critical factors governing the electrochemical storage performance of tunneled MnO2 cathodes, including (a) energetically favorable Li+ host sites, (ii) Li + and electron transport capabilities, (iii) optimal intercalation pathways, crystal distortion, microstructural stability, and tunneled-to-layer phase transformation as a function of lithium content, and (iv) cell output voltage profile. Interestingly, we find that low K + concentrations (y ≤ 1) yield partially cation-deficient tunnels in the MnO 2 cathode. Such unique tunnel structures in the cathode enable (a) low kinetic barriers for Li transport, (b) excellent thermodynamic stability of the tunneled structure even at a high Li + loading (up to ~ 0.625 Li/Mn), and (c) good electronic conductivity facilitated by Jahn-Teller distortions; all of which are critical for achieving high capacity batteries with enhanced rate capability. Additionally, these results provide perspectives to design low-cost transition metal oxide cathodes for high-performance Li-ion batteries with excellent cycle life.
