Radiation Stability of MOF Engineered Particles

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), in collaboration with Flibe Energy, demonstrated the fabrication of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) into engineered beads to manage off-gases released from advanced reactors, including molten salt reactors. Based on the commercial availability and easy to synthesis at scale, PNNL down-selected two MOF sorbents known as CuBTC and UiO-67. The sorbents were synthesized, characterized, and fabricated into mechanically robust engineered beads (composites) using wet granulation method using polymer as a binder. Further, MOF powders and and mechanically robust composites were exposed to gamma radiation using Co-60 source and characterized irradiated MOFs to demonstrate the structural stability. Among the two MOF sorbents identified, the CuBTC MOF was shown to be very promising for noble gas management at low temperature (193 K) compared to UiO-67 MOF. The high adsorption capacity of the synthesized composites was correlated to the high surface area and pore volume of the CuBTC MOF. Both MOFs retain structural integrity and long-range order even after exposure to 1000 kGy of radiation.

Performance of BaFCl:Eu2+ scintillating composites for X-ray imaging screens

A cost-effective solution for improving X-ray imaging detectors is presented through the use of a translucent scintillating composite and pixelated screen structure. A large quantity of BaFCl:Eu 2+ polycrystalline scintillator powder was synthesized via flux growth and its optical properties characterized through photoluminescence (PL) and absolute quantum yield (QY). UV-curable composites containing the BaFCl:Eu 2+ material were fabricated with differing amounts of NOA1665 and NOA170 optical adhesives. It was determined that, when the two resins were combined, the translucency of the resulting composite could be enhanced. The BaFCl:Eu 2+ composite was also cast into a pixelated glass screen containing an array of 160 μm x 160 μm holes by two separate methods: composite paste application and powder-resin application. Based on visual inspection, using a composite paste to fill the apertures proved to be more effective in creating a uniform packing.

Dara: Automated Multiple-Hypothesis Phase Identification and Refinement from Powder X-ray Diffraction

Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a foundational technique for characterizing crystalline materials. However, the reliable interpretation of XRD patterns, particularly in multiphase systems, remains a manual and expertise-demanding task. As a characterization method that only provides structural information, multiple reference phases can often be fit to a single pattern, leading to potential misinterpretation when alternative solutions are overlooked. To ease humans’ efforts and address the challenge, we introduce Dara (data-driven automated Rietveld analysis), a framework designed to automate the robust identification and refinement of multiple phases from powder XRD data. Dara performs an exhaustive tree search over all plausible phase combinations within a given chemical space and validates each hypothesis using the BGMN Rietveld refinement routine. Key features include structural database filtering, automatic clustering of isostructural phases during tree expansion, and peak-matching-based scoring to identify promising phases for refinement. When ambiguity exists, Dara generates multiple hypothesis which can then be decided between by human experts or with further characterization tools. By enhancing the reliability and accuracy of phase identification, Dara enables scalable analysis of realistic complex XRD patterns and provides a foundation for integration into multimodal characterization workflows, moving toward fully self-driving materials discovery.

High-pressure phase transition of alkali metal–transition metal deuteride Li 2 PdD 2

A combined theoretical and experimental study of lithium palladium deuteride (Li 2 PdD 2 ) subjected to pressures up to 50 GPa reveals one structural phase transition near 10 GPa, detected by synchrotron powder x-ray diffraction, and metadynamics simulations. We report the ambient-pressure tetragonal phase of Li 2 PdD 2 transforms into a monoclinic $C2/m$ phase that is distinct from all known structures of alkali metal–transition metal hydrides/deuterides. The structure of the high-pressure phase was characterized using ab initio computational techniques and from refinement of the powder x-ray diffraction data. In the high-pressure phase, the PdD 2 complexes lose molecular integrity and are fused to extended [PdD 2 ] ∞ chains. The discovered phase transition and new structure are relevant to the possible hydrogen storage application of Li 2 PdD 2 and alkali metal–transition metal hydrides in general.

Magnetic properties of the Ising-like rare earth pyrosilicate: D-Er 2 Si 2 O 7

Ising-like spin-1/2 magnetic materials are of interest for their ready connection to theory, particularly in the context of quantum critical behavior. In this work we report detailed studies of the magnetic properties of a member of the rare earth pyrosilicate family, D-Er 2 Si 2 O 7 , which is known to display a highly anisotropic Ising-like g-tensor and effective spin-1/2 magnetic moments. We used powder neutron diffraction, powder inelastic neutron spectroscopy (INS), and single crystal AC susceptibility to characterize its magnetic properties. Neutron diffraction enabled us to determine the magnetic structure below the known transition temperature (T N = 1.9 K) in zero field, confirming that the magnetic state is a four-sublattice antiferromagnetic structure with two non-collinear Ising axes, as was previously hypothesized. Our powder INS data revealed a gapped excitation at zero field, consistent with anisotropic (possibly Ising) exchange. An applied field of 1 T produces a mode softening, which is consistent with a field-induced second order phase transition. To assess the relevance of D-Er 2 Si 2 O 7 to the transverse field Ising model, we performed AC susceptibility measurements on a single crystal with the magnetic field oriented in the direction transverse to the Ising axes. This revealed a transition at 2.65 T at 0.1 K, a field significantly higher than the mode-softening field observed by powder INS, showing that the field-induced phase transitions are highly field-direction dependent as expected. Furthermore, these measurements suggest that D-Er 2 Si 2 O 7 may be a candidate for further exploration related to the transverse field Ising model.

Tailoring a 3D Covalent Organic Framework Toward Facile Functionalization

Three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (3D COFs) are notably crystalline and stable, but their architectures and monomer structures make them difficult to functionalize. Here, a new strategy is presented to render COF-300 and other imine-linked frameworks amenable to facile functionalization in the last step of synthesis. By reducing the imine linkages to secondary amines and appending them with acetyl halide groups, the linkages are converted to electrophiles that can be readily reacted with nucleophilic guests. This route yields eight new COF-300 derivatives, bearing chloroacetyl, bromoacetyl, azide, cyano, amino, hydroxyl, methoxy, or thiomethyl groups appended to the inter-monomer linkages. The new materials are characterized through solid-state NMR, infrared spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction, among other techniques, finding that the reported linkage transformations proceed to complete conversion while retaining the crystallinity of the materials. Microcrystal electron diffraction (microED) data are used to solve the evacuated structure of the amine-linked framework COF-300-AR for the first time, providing conclusive evidence of this framework's guest-induced phase change, along with the structure of the new framework COF-300-NH 2 . Finally, COF-300-NH 2 is shown to have significantly improved adsorption capacity for CO 2 and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), highlighting the benefits of this synthetic strategy for the generation of customized adsorbents.

Synthesis, Photophysical, Electrochemical and Thermal Investigation of Anthracene Doped 2-Naphthol Luminophors and their Thin Films for Optoelectronic Devices

A series of novel luminophors of 2-naphthol by doping anthracene were prepared using conventional solid state reaction technique. The photophysical, electrochemical and thermal properties were studied by Fluorescence spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, TGA-DSC and by Cyclic Voltammetry techniques. The thin films were characterized by Fluorescence spectroscopy. XRD study of fine grained powders exhibited sharp peaks which specify crystallinity and homogeneity of the doped luminophors. The fluorescence spectra of doped 2-naphthol exhibited emission of anthracene at 413 nm i.e. blue emission with instantaneous fluorescence quenching of 2-NP due to excitation energy transfer (EET). Electrochemical data specify that the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of the synthesized luminophors are in the range of 5.55–5.71 eV and 3.03–3.24 eV, respectively. TGA-DSC study confirmed thermal stability of prepared luminophors. Hence, overall study proposes that these luminophors seems applicable to be used as n-type materials for Optoelectronic devices.

Cadmium(II) terephthalates based on trinuclear units {Cd_3(bdc)_3}: control of coordination structure dimensionality and luminescence properties

Two metal-organic coordination polymers based on cadmium(II) ions and terephthalic (1,4-benzenedicarboxylic) acid were synthesized in dimethylformamide or a mixture of dimethylformamide and methanol: [Cd{sub 3}(bdc){sub 3}(dmf){sub 4}] (1, bdc is 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, dmf is N,N´-dimethylformamide) and [Cd{sub 3}(bdc){sub 3}(dmf){sub 2}] (2), respectively. According to the single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, both compounds are built up by the trinuclear carboxylate units {Cd_3(O_2CR)_6}. Compound 1 has a layered structure, whereas compound 2 has a three-dimensional structure due to the presence of additional coordination interactions between adjacent trinuclear units and the formation of polymer chains {Cd_3(dmf)_2(μ_2-O_2CR-κ"1,κ"1)_2(μ_2-O_2CR-κ"2,κ"1)_4(O_2CR-κ"1)2}. The synthesized compounds were characterized by IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, elemental analysis, and powder X-ray diffrac- tion. The luminescence properties of these compounds provide evidence for the existence of both intraligand and charge-transfer transitions. The luminescence quantum yields for both compounds are 10%.

GRCop-42: Comparison between laser powder bed fusion and laser powder direct energy deposition

This study involves a comparative analysis of additively manufactured GRCop-42 specimens produced using two processes: laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and laser powder direct energy deposition (LP-DED). The investigation characterizes a range of material attributes, including surface topography, internal defects, microstructural features, quasi-static mechanical properties, and fractographic characteristics. The findings demonstrate that, despite the specimens being fabricated with the same base material, the resulting material properties vary significantly between the two additive manufacturing processes. As such, material properties cannot be presumed to be uniform across different manufacturing methods. Consequently, material characterization must be conducted for individual manufacturing processes based on specific parameters.

Manufacturing Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steel plate via cold spray and friction stir processing

Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels, traditionally fabricated by ball milling and conventional powder metallurgy techniques to achieve bulk form, followed by intricate rolling and thermal treatment steps to achieve plate or sheet form. Here, we present a novel processing route that combines cold spray (CS) with friction stir processing (FSP) to manufacture ODS steel plate directly from gas atomization reaction synthesis (GARS)-prepared powder, thus no rolling steps involved. Microstructural and mechanical characterizations were performed to assess the quality and properties of the resulting ODS steel plate. Our findings demonstrate that the slightly porous CS deposited layer was fully consolidated after FSP, yielding a fully dense ODS steel plate that exhibited a favorable tradeoff between strength and ductility upon extraction from the substrate. Furthermore, through microstructural analysis, we revealed the presence of an appreciable density (∼10 22 /m 3 ) of nano-sized oxide particles, with the majority being smaller than 5 nm via the combined CS + FSP fabrication route. This work serves as a first proof-of-concept demonstration of the manufacturing approach described herein, offering a possible alternative route for producing ODS steel plates.

Additive manufacturing of cobalt-based alloy on tool steel by directed energy deposition

Cladding hard-surfacing alloys on tool steel is an effective approach to enhance the surface properties of tool steel. In this study, a Co-based alloy was deposited on tool steel by Directed Energy Deposition (DED) following a three-factor three-level design of experiment matrix with varied laser power, scan speed, and powder flow rate. The microstructure of the deposits was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The residual stress on the surface of the samples was measured by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) sin2? technique. The parameters that produced promising deposits were used to fabricate samples for tensile test, four-point bending test, Charpy impact test, and hardness measurement. Our result reveals that the processing parameters have a significant role in the residual stress of the coatings. Residual stress reduces with the increase of laser energy density. Cracks were found at samples with energy density below a threshold. Tensile testing of the coating/substrate combined structure reveals fracture at the coatings with an ultimate tensile strength of 633.9 ± 54.7 MPa. The bi-material interface survived the tensile test, indicating a strong interfacial bond. The four-point bending test of coating/substrate laminates shows an ultimate flexure strength of 860.6 ± 36.9 MPa. Cracks initiated from the coatings ignored the interface and penetrated the substrate, suggesting a solid bi-material bond. Charpy impact test shows the absorbed energy of coating/substrate laminates is more than doubled that of the substrate.

Synthesis of an Isostructural Series of 12-Coordinate Lanthanide Nitrate Hybrid Double Perovskites with Cubic Symmetry

In efforts to study the periodic chemical properties of the rare earth elements and their structural chemistry, a hybrid double perovskite phase A 2 B'BX 6 with the formula ((CH 3 ) 4 N) 2 KLn(NO 3 ) 6 (Ln = La–Lu, Y ex. Pm) was synthesized that crystallizes in the cubic space group, $Fm$$\bar{3}$$m$. This series was obtained via evaporative crystallization from a mixture of Ln(NO 3 ) 3 , KNO 3 , and (CH 3 ) 4 N·NO 3 in a 1:1:2 ratio from either H 2 O or 4.0 M HNO 3 . In this double perovskite structure, the B site containing the lanthanide ion is coordinated by six bidentate nitrate ligands, with the distal N$=$O oxygen atoms coordinating the potassium on the B' site in an octahedral six-coordinate environment. The two-remaining charge-compensating (CH 3 ) 4 N + cations occupy the interstitial voids in the lattice on the A site. This periodic series was characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, IR, and Raman spectroscopy. Emission spectra of the Eu complex indicate a phase transition to trigonal symmetry upon cooling. In conclusion, this series is unique as it represents a rare isostructural series spanning the entirety of the rare earth elements excluding promethium with homoleptic 12-coordinate rare earth metal ions.

Mechanochemistry of the LiBH 4 –AlCl 3 System: Structural Characterization of the Products by Solid-State NMR

The double-cation metal borohydride, Li 4 Al 3 (BH 4 ) 13 , mechanochemically produced from a 13:3 mixture of lithium borohydride (LiBH 4 ) and aluminum chloride (AlCl 3 ), has a low hydrogen desorption temperature; however, the material’s decomposition is accompanied by a large emission of toxic diborane (B 2 H 6 ). In this study, we found that a decrease of the LiBH 4 :AlCl 3 ratio in the starting mixture yields increased amounts of partially chlorinated products that also dehydrogenate at low temperature, but release negligibly small amounts of diborane. Extensive characterization by solid-state NMR spectroscopy (SSNMR) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) found that the 11:3 ratio product maintains the Li 4 Al 3 (BH 4 ) 13- like structure, with additional Cl – anions substituting for [BH 4 ] – compared to the 13:3 mixture. Further decrease of relative LiBH 4 concentration in the starting mixture to 9:3 results in a different product composed of tetrahedral [Al(BH 4 ) 4 ] - and [Al(BH 4 ) 2 Cl 2 ] - complexes, in which two hydrogen atoms of each borohydride group are bridged to aluminum sites. Additionally, SSNMR revealed the covalent character of the Al–H bonds, which is not observed in Li 4 Al 3 (BH 4 ) 13 . In conclusion, these findings suggest that the Al–Cl bonding present in the chlorinated complexes prevents the formation of Al(BH 4 ) 3 , which is a known intermediate leading to the formation of diborane during thermal dehydrogenation of the nearly chlorine-free Li 4 Al 3 (BH 4 ) 13 .

In Situ EXAFS Study of Mo–P Bond Dynamics in Molybdenum Phosphide during CO 2 Reduction and Hydrogen Evolution

Transition Metal Phosphides (TMPs) are widely studied as catalysts in reactions like hydrogen evolution, oxygen reduction, and hydrodesulfurization. TMPs have demonstrated remarkable efficiency in accelerating reactions by providing active sites for adsorption and facilitating the transformation of reaction intermediates, a feature that has increased the interest of TMPs in the electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (eCO 2 RR). Despite their growing use, the potential-dependent structural behavior of TMPs under operating electrochemical conditions remains insufficiently understood. This work investigates the dynamics of the Mo−P bond during eCO 2 RR and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using in situ extended X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS) studies at the Mo−K edge. Structural characterization of the synthesized MoP nanoparticles was performed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results of the overall electrochemical activity of MoP are presented through linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) experiments in the potential range of 0 to −1.5 V versus Ag/AgCl and chronoamperometry (CA). Liquid products were analyzed by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. The synthesized catalyst showed increasing activity with the highest Faradaic efficiency of 11.75% for C 2+ products at −1.3 V vs Ag/AgCl. In situ EXAFS revealed a change in the average Mo−P bond distance during eCO 2 RR, whereas no such change was observed during the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This finding suggests that phosphorus, particularly through modulation of the Mo−P bond length, plays an important role in the eCO 2 RR and demonstrates how in situ EXAFS can track local structural perturbations in MoP catalysts during electrochemical operation, providing complementary structural insight that correlates with electrochemical behavior.

Two halide-containing cesium manganese vanadates: synthesis, characterization, and magnetic properties

In this study, two new halide-containing cesium manganese vanadates have been synthesized by a high-temperature (580 °C) hydrothermal synthetic method from aqueous brine solutions. One compound, Cs 3 Mn(VO 3 ) 4 Cl, (1) was prepared using a mixed cesium hydroxide/chloride mineralizer, and crystallizes in the polar noncentrosymmetric space group Cmm2, with a = 16.7820(8) Å, b = 8.4765(4) Å, c = 5.7867(3) Å. This structure is built from sinusoidal zig-zag (VO 3 ) n chains that run along the b-axis and are coordinated to Mn 2+ containing (MnO 4 Cl) square-pyramidal units that are linked together to form layers. The cesium cations reside between the layers, but also coordinate to the chloride ion, forming a cesium chloride chain that also propagates along the b-axis. The other compound, Cs 2 Mn(VO 3 ) 3 F, (2) crystallizes in space group Pbca with a = 7.4286(2) Å, b = 15.0175(5) Å, c = 19.6957(7) Å, and was prepared using a cesium fluoride mineralizer. The structure is comprised of corner sharing octahedral Mn 2+ chains, with trans fluoride ligands acting as bridging units, whose ends are capped by (VO 3 ) n vanadate chains to form slabs. The cesium atoms reside between the manganese vanadate layers, and also play an integral part in the structure, forming a cesium fluoride chain that runs along the b-axis. Both compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, and single-crystal Raman spectroscopy. Additionally, the magnetic properties of 2 were investigated. Lastly, above 50 K, it displays behavior typical of a low dimensional system with antiferromagnetic interactions, as to be expected for linear chains of manganese(II) within the crystal structure.

Deep eutectic solvent route synthesis of zinc and copper vanadate n-type semiconductors – mapping oxygen vacancies and their effect on photovoltage

Ternary metal oxides M 2 V 2 O 7–δ (M = Zn and Cu) were synthesized by dissolving binary metal oxide precursors in an environmentally benign deep eutectic solvent (DES), which is a eutectic mixture of a hydrogen bond donor and acceptor, followed by annealing in an open crucible. The unique reaction environment provided by the evolved ammonia allows for stabilization of oxygen vacancies and reduced oxidation states of metal ions within an oxide matrix without the need for any post-treatment with flammable reducing agents. According to comprehensive characterization, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), neutron powder diffraction, and UV-vis spectroscopy, oxygen deficiency is accompanied by reduced oxidation states of metal centers (Cu + or V 4+ ), resulting in oxides with mixed-valence metal oxidation states. The amount of oxygen vacancies can be tuned by changing the annealing temperature providing control over band gaps of ternary metal oxides and mid-gap states from reduced metal centers. All synthesized vanadates are n-type semiconductors based on negative photovoltages obtained from surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS). A decay of the photovoltage with increasing annealing temperatures is attributed to electron trapping and electron/hole recombination at V 4+ and Cu + mid-gap states. This work shows for the first time the impact of oxygen vacancies on the electronic structure of DES synthesized oxides for solar energy conversion applications.

Elucidating a dissolution–deposition reaction mechanism by multimodal synchrotron X-ray characterization in aqueous Zn/MnO 2 batteries

Aqueous Zn/MnO 2 batteries with their environmental sustainability and competitive cost, are becoming a promising, safe alternative for grid-scale electrochemical energy storage. Here, presented as a promising design principle to deliver a higher theoretical capacity, this work offers fundamental understanding of the dissolution–deposition mechanism of Zn/β-MnO 2 . A multimodal synchrotron characterization approach including three operando X-ray techniques (powder diffraction, absorption spectroscopy, and fluorescence microscopy) is coupled with elementally resolved synchrotron X-ray nano-tomography. Together they provide a direct correlation between structural evolution, reaction chemistry, and 3D morphological changes. Operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy show a crystalline-to-amorphous phase transition. Quantitative modeling of the operando data by Rietveld refinement for X-ray diffraction and multivariate curve resolution (MCR) for X-ray absorption spectroscopy are used in a complementary fashion to track the structural and chemical transitions of both the long-range (crystalline phases) and short-range (including amorphous phases) ordering upon cycling. Scanning X-ray microscopy and full-field nano-tomography visualizes the morphology of electrodes at different electrochemical states with elemental sensitivity to spatially resolve the formation of the Zn- and Mn-containing phases. Overall, this work critically indicates that for Zn/MnO 2 aqueous batteries, the reaction pathways involving Zn–Mn complex formation upon cycling become independent of the polymorphs of the initial electrode and sheds light on the interplay among structural, chemical, and morphological evolution for electrochemically driven phase transitions.

Electrochemical carbon deposition from CO 2 in molten carbonates: substrate-dependent growth

Electrochemical carbon deposition from molten carbonate salts using inert electrodes and no additional catalyst is systematically examined. At sufficiently cathodic potentials, carbon formation occurs within 30 min and transitions from substrate-dependent nucleation to carbon-on-carbon growth. Although deposits formed on either mild-steel or graphite cathodes exhibit comparable thicknesses and salt contents, their macrostructures differ, reflecting differences in early-stage growth rates and surface chemistry. Characterization by ICP-OES, Raman spectroscopy, SEM/EDS, synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction, and C K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure reveals that the as-deposited carbon is predominantly disordered sp 2 -bonded material. However, post-treatment reveals latent turbostratic ordering in select samples, indicating that short-range order is established during deposition but is obscured by an entrained electrolyte and kinetically formed amorphous phases. No anode-derived contamination is detected, and carbon grown on graphite cathodes shows minimal metallic impurities. These results clarify the role of cathode surface chemistry and provide pathways for controlling electrode-derived impurity incorporation and carbon structure in catalyst-free molten carbonate systems.
