The Role of Metal Substitution in Tuning Anion Redox in Sodium Metal Layered Oxides Revealed by X‐Ray Spectroscopy and Theory
Abstract We investigate high‐valent oxygen redox in the positive Na‐ion electrode P2‐Na 0.67− x [Fe 0.5 Mn 0.5 ]O 2 (NMF) where Fe is partially substituted with Cu (P2‐Na 0.67− x [Mn 0.66 Fe 0.20 Cu 0.14 ]O 2 , NMFC) or Ni (P2‐Na 0.67− x [Mn 0.65 Fe 0.20 Ni 0.15 ]O 2 , NMFN). From combined analysis of resonant inelastic X‐ray scattering and X‐ray near‐edge structure with electrochemical voltage hysteresis and X‐ray pair distribution function profiles, we correlate structural disorder with high‐valent oxygen redox and its improvement by Ni or Cu substitution. Density of states calculations elaborate considerable anionic redox in NMF and NMFC without the widely accepted requirement of an A‐O‐A′ local configuration in the pristine materials (where A=Na and A′=Li, Mg, vacancy, etc.). We also show that the Jahn–Teller nature of Fe 4+ and the stabilization mechanism of anionic redox could determine the extent of structural disorder in the materials. These findings shed light on the design principles in TM and anion redox for positive electrodes to improve the performance of Na‐ion batteries.

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-lignin thermoplastic rubber adhesive for enhanced metal-to-metal joining
With the growing requirement for lightweight structural materials in automotive, aerospace, and infrastructure applications, multi-material joints made with adhesive have attracted intense research interest. Commercial thermoset adhesives are one-time cures, and difficult to disassemble the bonded components for repair and recycling. Our prior work with a thermoplastic acrylonitrile-butadiene-lignin rubber (ABL) addresses this sustainability/recycling challenge, but the adhesive exhibits deficient joining strength compared to standard thermosets. Here, we modify the ABL matrix by loading particulate fillers to enhance its modulus and toughness. Further, the goal is to manufacture a cure-free thermoplastic adhesive system with a simple dispensing protocol and characteristic ductility combined with a high yield stress for improved shear strength of a bonded joint. Fumed silica (FS) and epoxidized glass spheres (EGS) were used as fillers in the ABL to promote the dispersion of lignin particles that tailored the functionalities and free energy components of the adhesive surface. With optimal loading of FS (5 wt%) and EGS (30 wt%) in the ABL adhesive matrix, the lap-shear strength of the bonded aluminum joint was elevated by 128%, compared to the neat ABL, reaching 21 MPa, which is 90% of the performance of a commercial epoxy-based adhesive.

Influence of Hydrogen Isotopes on Vacancy Formation and Antisite Defect Diffusion in Palladium and Vanadium Metals
Density functional theory calculations are performed to study the interaction between hydrogen isotopes, vacancy, and antisite defects in Pd and V. Various defect configurations and defect-defect distances are systematically explored. Binding energies and migration energy barriers are calculated and tabulated. The study provides atomistic data for subsequent mesoscale simulations of tritium, vacancy, and antisite diffusion. In Pd, a strong binding is found between a vacancy and tritium (0.16 eV). This tritium binding increases the thermal concentration of vacancies by a factor of ~10 at 500 ?C. The increase in vacancy concentration enhances V antisite diffusion in Pd by a factor of ~6 at 500 ?C. The influence of tritium is even stronger in V, with a tritium and vacancy binding energy of 0.38 eV. Such a strong binding increases the thermal concentration of vacancies by a factor of ~300 at 500 ?C. The increase in vacancy concentration enhances Pd antisite diffusion in V by a factor of ~640 at 500 ?C. Vanadium and Pd exhibit a strong driving force to intermix with a formation energy of -1.57 eV for V antisite in Pd and -1.05 eV for Pd antisite in V. The results suggest vanadium diffusion into Pd is energetically stronger than the reverse. Zero-point-energy corrections are taken into account and calculations for hydrogen and tritium are presented.
