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.

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.

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.

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.

Ultra-thin ZrO 2 overcoating on CuO-ZnO-Al 2 O 3 catalyst by atomic layer deposition for improved catalytic performance of CO 2 hydrogenation to dimethyl ether

Abstract An ultra-thin overcoating of zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ) film on CuO-ZnO-Al 2 O 3 (CZA) catalysts by atomic layer deposition (ALD) was proved to enhance the catalytic performance of CZA/HZSM-5 (H form of Zeolite Socony Mobil-5) bifunctional catalysts for hydrogenation of CO 2 to dimethyl ether (DME). Under optimal reaction conditions (i.e. 240 °C and 2.8 MPa), the yield of product DME increased from 17.22% for the bare CZA/HZSM-5 catalysts, to 18.40% for the CZA catalyst after 5 cycles of ZrO 2 ALD with HZSM-5 catalyst. All the catalysts modified by ZrO 2 ALD displayed significantly improved catalytic stability of hydrogenation of CO 2 to DME reaction, compared to that of CZA/HZSM-5 bifunctional catalysts. The loss of DME yield in 100 h of reaction was greatly mitigated from 6.20% (loss of absolute value) to 3.01% for the CZA catalyst with 20 cycles of ZrO 2 ALD overcoating. Characterizations including hydrogen temperature programmed reduction, x-ray powder diffraction, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that there was strong interaction between Cu active centers and ZrO 2 .

STEP Report on Advanced ODS FeCrAl Alloys for Fission Applications

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is developing advanced low-Cr oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) FeCrAl alloys for accident tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding. This report presents the characterization of two new ODS FeCrAl tubes by using powder commercially mechanically alloyed by Zoz GmbH, which underwent high-precision tube rolling with two different annealing schedules. This work shows that the ODS FeCrAl tube without recrystallization exhibits consistent mechanical behavior in comparison with a previously produced tube. The second tube, which underwent a full recrystallization step before the final tube rolling step, showed some circumferential cracking and exhibited limited ductility in the axial tube tensile tests. Based on current and prior work on the ODS FeCrAl alloy system, this report compares the current state of the scientific literature on the alloy class with that of wrought FeCrAl without oxide additions. Then, this report makes recommendations for future research directions that should be undertaken to increase the technology readiness level for ODS FeCrAl as a viable ATF candidate material. This report has been submitted as fulfillment of milestone M3FT-20OR020202064 titled, “STEP Report on Advanced ODS FeCrAl Alloys for Fission Applications” for the US Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy’s Advanced Fuel Campaign of the Fuel Cycle R&D program.

Coupled Gel/Seeded Growth of Cs2AgBiBr6 Single Crystals for Radiation Detection

Abstract— The all-inorganic lead free Cs2AgBiBr6 perovskite represents a highly promising environment-friendly radiation detector material. The first attempt to grow Cs2AgBiBr6 single crystals using the unique gel growth method is reported in this study. This technique enables controlled reagent diffusion in a gel medium at room temperature, fostering the growth of visible single crystals. It offers advantages over conventional methods, leading to fewer equilibrium and non-equilibrium defects and simplified execution. Interestingly, the as-grown crystals exhibited variations in size and colors within the gel matrix, indicating the influence of Bi solutes in Bi-poor and Bi-rich Cs2AgBiBr6 crystals. Once the crystals were confirmed by powder xray diffraction, a series of comprehensive material characterizations was performed. The resistivity of Cs2AgBiBr6 single crystals was measured at 1.12x107 Ω•cm. Trap density analysis yielded a value of 2.82 x1010 cm-3. The charge carrier mobility was determined to be 32.9 cm2V-1S-1, suggesting the suitability for radiation detector applications. Additional growth optimization is going on and further characterization will be reported during the presentation. Our work helps accelerate the development of lead-free perovskite materials toward radiation detector applications.

A New Complex Borohydride LiAl(BH4)2Cl2

A new mixed alkali metal–aluminum borohydride LiAl(BH4)2Cl2 has been prepared via mechanochemical synthesis from the 2LiBH4–AlCl3 mixture. Structural characterization, performed using a combination of X-ray powder diffraction and solid-state NMR methods, indicates that the LiAl(BH4)2Cl2 phase adopts a unique 3D framework and crystallizes in an orthorhombic structure with the space group C2221, a = 11.6709(6) Å, b = 8.4718(4) Å, c = 7.5114(3) Å. The material shows excellent dehydrogenation characteristics, where hydrogen evolution starts at Tons = 70 °C, releasing approximately 2 wt.% of nearly pure (99.8 vol.%) hydrogen and a very small amount (~0.2 vol.%) of diborane. When compared to halide-free mixed alkali metal–aluminum borohydrides, the presence of Al‒Cl bonding in the LiAl(BH4)2Cl2 structure likely prevents the formation of Al(BH4)3 upon decomposition, thus suppressing the formation of diborane.

A Miniature Mineralogical Instrument for In-Situ Characterization of Ices and Hydrous Minerals at the Lunar Poles

Lunar missions over the past few years have provided new evidence that water may be present at the lunar poles in the form of cold-trapped ice deposits, thereby rekindling interest in sampling the polar regions. Robotic landers fitted with mineralogical instrumentation for in-situ analyses could provide unequivocal answers on the presence of crystalline water ice and/or hydrous minerals at the lunar poles. Data from Lunar Prospector suggest that any surface exploration of the lunar poles should include the capability to drill to depths of more than 40 cm. Limited data on the lunar geotherm indicate temperatures of approximately 245-255 K at regolith depths of 40 cm, within a range where water may exist in the liquid state as brine. A relevant terrestrial analog occurs in Antarctica, where the zeolite mineral chabazite has been found at the boundary between ice-free and ice-cemented regolith horizons, and precipitation from a regolith brine is indicated. Soluble halogens and sulfur in the lunar regolith could provide comparable brine chemistry in an analogous setting. Regolith samples collected by a drilling device could be readily analyzed by CheMin, a mineralogical instrument that combines X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques to simultaneously characterize the chemical and mineralogical compositions of granular or powdered samples. CheMin can unambiguously determine not only the presence of hydrous alteration phases such as clays or zeolites, but it can also identify the structural variants or types of clay or zeolite present (e.g., well-ordered versus poorly ordered smectite; chabazite versus phillipsite). In addition, CheMin can readily measure the abundances of key elements that may occur in lunar minerals (Na, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, Fe) as well as the likely constituents of lunar brines (F, Cl, S). Finally, if coring and analysis are done during the lunar night or in permanent shadow, CheMin can provide information on the chemistry and structure of any crystalline ices that might occur in the regolith samples.

Compositional Diversity of the Vestan Regolith Derived from Howardite Compositions and Dawn VIR Spectra

Howardite, eucrite and diogenite meteorites likely come from asteroid 4 Vesta [1]. Howardites - physical mixtures of eucrites and diogenites - are of two subtypes: regolithic howardites were gardened in the true regolith; fragmental howardites are simple polymict breccias [2]. The Dawn spacecraft imaged the howarditic surface of Vesta with the visible and infrared mapping spectrometer (VIR) resulting in qualitative maps of the distributions of distinct diogenite-rich and eucrite-rich terranes [3, 4]. We are developing a robust basis for quantitative mapping of the distribution of lithologic types using spectra acquired on splits of well-characterized howardites [5, 6]. Spectra were measured on sample powders sieved to <75 μm in the laboratories of the Istituto di Astrofisica e Planetologia Spaziali and Brown University. Data reduction was done using the methods developed to process Dawn VIR spectra [4]. The band parameters for the ~1 and ~2 μm pyroxene absorption features (hereafter BI and BII) can be directly compared to Dawn VIR results. Regolithic howardites have shallower BI and BII absorptions compared to fragmental howardites with similar compositions. However, there are statistically significant correlations between Al or Ca contents and BI or BII center wavelengths regardless of howardite subtype. Diogenites are poor in Al and Ca while eucrites are rich in these elements. The laboratory spectra can thus be directly correlated with the percentage of eucrite material contained in the howardites. We are using these correlations to quantitatively map Al and Ca distributions, and thus the percentage of eucritic material, in the current regolith of Vesta.

Radiation Shielding Plasma Sprayed Coatings Heads to International Space Station for MISSE-17 Experiments

NASA's Artemis program aims to return to the moon in search of scientific discoveries and establish a habitat using in-situ resource utilization. However, the past lunar explorations presented challenges, such as thermal cycles, solar and intergalactic cosmic radiation, and severe abrasive interaction of sharp lunar regolith particles[1]–[4].Dust mitigation and radiation shielding have become the most important concerns for lunar structural components and rovers which can fail abruptly without a protective solution. To counter these threats, Plasma Forming Laboratory(PFL) at Florida International University (FIU), in collaboration with NASA, has developed a novel multi-functional coating to protect the components synergistically against abrasion, erosion ,and radiation. The titanium-boron nitride composite coatings were prepared using the atmospheric plasma spray technique from engineered composite powders [5], [6].The coatings were subjected to extensive characterization and tribological study with lunar mare simulant JSC-1A, which shows tremendous improvement in the wear performance. The coatings subjected to neutron radiation shielding experiments at NASA Langley Research Center exhibited significantly improved neutron attenuation capacity compared to the substrate. The coating is selected to undergo radiation exposure on the International Space Station as a part of MISSE-17 (Materials International Space Station Experiment).

Rietveld Refinement for Macromolecular Powder Diffraction

Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) has been employed extensively for the structural characterization of materials, quantitative analysis of multicomponent mixtures, phase identification, texture, and microstructural analysis. At the heart of all those lies the Rietveld method, which has revolutionized the use of powder diffraction for materials studies. Initially applied to minerals and inorganics, the Rietveld method has progressively been used for more complex materials, for instance, zeolites and pharmaceuticals. A major advance of the method came some 20 years ago, when the first protein structure was successfully refined. Because of the sheer complexity of macromolecules, several new approaches and algorithms had to be pioneered or adapted from macromolecular single-crystal diffraction experiments, thus constituting macromolecular PXRD a quite unique field of study. This review aims to provide necessary elements of theory and application of structure solution and refinement via the Rietveld method for macromolecular PXRD data. Here, practical explanations and highlighted case studies are also presented.
