Impact of Lightning and Convection on Reactive Nitrogen in the Tropical Free Troposphere

Latitudinal distributions of NO, NO(y), O3, CO, CH3I, and H2O mixing ratios at 8.9-12 km were obtained between 30deg N and 1deg S by DC-8 aircraft measurements made in February 1994 during Pacific Exploratory Mission-West B (PEM-West B). Very low NO(y), mixing ratios with a median value of 51 parts per trillion by volume (pptv) were observed at 9.5-12 km at 1deg N-14deg N during two flights made within 3 days. A very low median O3 mixing ratio of 19 parts per billion by volume (ppbv) and high mixing ratios of H2O and CH3I were simultaneously observed, suggesting that the low NO(y), values were probably due to the convective transport of air from the tropical marine boundary layer to this altitude. The median NO(y)/O3 ratio being a factor of 2 smaller than in the air masses in the tropical marine boundary layer might suggest the possibility that the heterogeneous removal of HNO3 during convective transport further reduced NO(y) levels. In addition to the measurements between 9.5 and 12 km, low values of NO(y) and O3 were observed between 4 and 12 km at 1deg N. Divergent wind fields at 200 and 1000 hPa and infrared (IR) cloud images show that there was large scale convection (greater than 1000 km x 1000 km) in the northeast of New Guinea Island centered around Odeg S and 150deg E as part of systematic convective activity of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ). This type of large scale convection could have transported air with low levels of NO(y) and O3 to the middle and upper troposphere over a wide area in the tropics. On the other hand, NO mixing ratios of 50-200 pptv and high NQ,/NOY ratios of 0.4-0.6 were observed at 9.5 km between 4deg S and 10deg S. High H2O Mixing ratios of 600-1200 parts per million by volume (ppmv) and low CO mixing ratios of 65 ppbv observed in the air mass indicated that the high NO values were probably due to NO production by lightning. Satellite observations showed relatively frequent lightning flashes over the New Guinea Island for 3 days prior to the aircraft measurements. These results are considered to be consistent with the idea that, in general, marine convection is not accompanied by lightning activity, whereas convection over land is. Because of the large areal extent of the influences from these processes, the convective transport of low NO(y) air and NO production by lightning should play critical roles in controlling the abundance of reactive nitrogen in the equatorial region.

Radical SAM enzymes: Nature's choice for radical reactions

Enzymes that use a [4Fe-4S] 1+ cluster plus S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to initiate radical reactions (radical SAM) form the largest enzyme superfamily, with over half a million members across the tree of life. This review summarizes recent work revealing the radical SAM reaction pathway, which ultimately liberates the 5´-deoxyadenosyl (5´-dAdo•) radical to perform extremely diverse, highly regio- and stereo-specific, transformations. Most surprising was the discovery of an organometallic intermediate Ω exhibiting an Fe-C5´-adenosyl bond. Ω liberates 5´-dAdo• through homolysis of the Fe-C5´ bond, in analogy to Co-C5´ bond homolysis in B12, previously viewed as biology’s paradigmatic radical generator. The 5´-dAdo• has been trapped and characterized in radical SAM enzymes via a recently-discovered photoreactivity of the [4Fe- 4S] + /SAM complex, and has been confirmed as a catalytically active intermediate in enzyme catalysis. The regioselective SAM S-C bond cleavage to produce 5´-dAdo• originates in the JahnTeller effect. The simplicity of SAM as a radical precursor, and the exquisite control of 5´-dAdo• reactivity in radical SAM enzymes, may be why radical SAM enzymes pervade the tree of life, while B12 enzymes are only a few.

Biocatalytic Yarn for Peroxide Decomposition with Controlled Liquid Transport

In this study, a robust biocatalytic yarn with controllable liquid transport properties is created by coating thin layers of chitosan containing catalase onto a cellulosic yarn. The resulting material integrates enzyme catalytic functionality with protective coating properties of chitosan and structural functionality of the textile. Mild immobilization conditions and good affinity between the two polysaccharides minimize enzyme inactivation during the preparation steps and prevent enzyme from leaching during peroxide decomposition testing and washing, providing a novel and versatile enzyme immobilization strategy. The catalytic efficiency of enzymes in a reaction containing solid, liquid, and gas phases is facilitated when dissolved enzyme substrate is transported by liquid flowing through the coated textile structure. The flow-through configuration decomposes at least two times more peroxide in a twenty-times smaller reaction zone volume compared to a stirred tank configuration. Liquid transport through the yarn and liquid spatial distribution within the yarn are investigated by in situ neutron radiography and neutron computed tomography, revealing a constrained wicking mechanism that benefits biocatalytic yarn performance. This new class of sustainable and flexible biocatalytic textile matrices has beneficial multifunctional properties, not previously described, that are applicable for numerous small- and large-scale applications including controlled flow reactors and reactive filtration.

Metal-Centered Photoredox Catalysis using d 6 Transition Metal-based Chromophores

Controlling excited-state reactivity in transition metal chromophores is central to light-driven chemistry, with applications spanning from solar energy conversion to photoredox catalysis. Ru(II) and Ir(III) chromophores currently dominate applications within this field due to their long-lived charge-transfer (CT) excited states, which support bimolecular electron transfer chemistry. However, their elemental scarcity and relative lack of selectivity for differentiating oxidative versus reductive pathways has in part motivated the exploration of alternative platforms that could, in principle, offer distinct mechanistic opportunities. Earth-abundant, valence-isoelectronic 3d 6 complexes of Fe(II) and Co(III) have attracted significant attention due to their electronic similarity to Ru(II) and Ir(III), suggesting the potential for complementary photophysical behavior. In contrast to their heavier congeners, however, the weaker ligand fields of first-row transition metals promote rapid relaxation from initially populated CT states to low-lying metal-centered (MC) excited states, typically of 5 T 2 or 3 T 1 character. Because these MC states involve redistribution of electron density within MC d-orbitals rather than charge separation between metal and ligand orbitals, they were historically considered poor candidates for use in photochemical transformations.

Quantitative Separation of Unknown Organic–Metal Complexes by Liquid Chromatography–Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is widely recognized to control the solubility and reactivity of trace metals in the environment. However, the mechanisms that govern metal-DOM complexation remain elusive, primarily due to the analytical challenge of fractionating and quantifying metal–organic species within the complex mixture of organic compounds that comprise DOM. Here, we describe a quantitative method for fractionation and element-specific detection of organic–metal complexes using liquid chromatography with online inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LC–ICP-MS). The method implements a post-column compensation gradient to stabilize ICP–MS elemental response across the LC solvent gradient, thereby overcoming a major barrier to achieving quantitative accuracy with LC–ICP-MS. With external calibration and internal standard correction, the method yields concentrations of organic–metal complexes that were consistently within 6% of their true values, regardless of the complex’s elution time. We used the method to evaluate the effects of four stationary phases (C18, phenyl, amide, and pentafluoroylphenyl propyl) on the recovery and separation of environmentally relevant trace metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb) in Suwannee River Fulvic Acid and Suwannee River Natural Organic Matter. The C18, amide, and phenyl phases generally yielded optimal metal recoveries (>75% for all metals except Pb), with the phenyl phase separating polar species to a greater extent than C18 or amide. We also fractionated organic-bound Fe, Cu, and Ni in oxidized and reduced soils, revealing divergent metal-DOM speciation across soil redox environments. Finally, by enabling quantitative fractionation of DOM-bound metals, our method offers a means for advancing a mechanistic understanding of metal–organic complexation throughout the environment.

Interaction of Anisole on Alumina-Supported Ni and Mo Oxide Hydrodeoxygenation Catalysts

The conversion of biomass to transportation fuels and value-added chemicals is a promising method to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Mo-based catalysts have been shown to be highly active in the hydrodeoxygenation of biomass-derived phenolic compounds. The catalyst active phase, surface species, and the effect of adding additional metals is not comprehensively understood. Here we compare the temperature-dependent adsorption behavior of the model compound anisole 2 on an alumina-supported mixed nickel molybdenum oxide catalyst with two reference catalysts of molybdenum oxide and nickel oxide. Raman spectroscopy showed that the catalysts contain significant amounts of molybdates and molybdoaluminates, in addition to NiMoO 4 in the nickel molybdenum catalyst and MoO 3 in the molybdenum-only catalyst. Using transmission infrared spectroscopy under a controlled environment, we find that anisole chemisorbed largely through the oxygen in the methoxy group to form surface-bound phenoxy and methoxy species on all the catalysts. Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectrons spectroscopy measurements of the catalysts in anisole vapor showed reduced Mo atoms are the binding sites. The surface interaction and removal temperature of these species varied with the metal composition. The MoO x component dominated the adsorption behavior in both MoO x and NiMoO x catalysts. The formation of new aromatics, including methylated rings, depended on Ni composition. Upon adding hydrogen to induce the hydrodeoxygenation of anisole, undesirable polynuclear aromatic species were quickly formed on the Mo-based catalysts. In conclusion, these results suggest that the molybdenum oxide controls the adsorption and reactivity of the surface species, with a cooperative effect by Ni.

Zeolitic Imidazole Framework Decorated Substrates for Lead Removal From Water

Lead contamination in water supplies necessitates efficient and mechanistically understood removal strategies. Zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) are promising adsorbents; however, ZIF-67 (Co-based) is more susceptible to hydrolysis than its zinc analogue ZIF-8, raising questions about stability during metal uptake. In this study, we systematically compare ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 under controlled pH conditions and evaluate how substrate anchoring influences hydrolytic stability and Pb 2+ adsorption behavior. By integrating adsorption capacity measurements, kinetic analysis, metal-node leaching data, and structural characterization, we distinguish ion exchange from framework degradation and clarify the temporal interplay between adsorption and hydrolysis. Although ZIF-67 exhibits greater hydrolytic sensitivity, coordination with phosphoryl-bearing Mucor hiemalis membranes significantly reduces Co 2+ leaching and enhances structural retention. Under the optimized conditions (pH 5), ZIF-67@Mucor achieves a maximum Pb 2+ adsorption capacity of 867 mg g −1 . These findings demonstrate that substrate-dependent stabilization enables controlled exploitation of ZIF reactivity for aqueous metal remediation.

Spontaneous Reorganization of DNA-Based Polymers in Higher Ordered Structures Fueled by RNA

We demonstrate a strategy that allows for the spontaneous reconfiguration of self-assembled DNA polymers exploiting RNA as chemical fuel. To do this, we have rationally designed orthogonally addressable DNA building blocks that can be transiently deactivated by RNA fuels and subtracted temporarily from participation in the self-assembly process. Through a fine modulation of the rate at which the building blocks are reactivated we can carefully control the final composition of the polymer and convert a disordered polymer in a higher order polymer, which is disfavored from a thermodynamic point of view. We measure the dynamic reconfiguration via fluorescent signals and confocal microscopy, and we derive a kinetic model that captures the experimental results. Our approach suggests a novel route toward the development of biomolecular materials in which engineered chemical reactions support the autonomous spatial reorganization of multiple components.

pH-Driven Restructuring of Hydration Layers and Cation Adsorption at the Alumina–Water Interface

Oxide−water interfaces underpin ion separations, catalysis, and electrochemical energy technologies, where the electrical double layer (EDL) controls adsorption, transport, and reactivity. However, the molecular-scale links between pHdependent surface protonation, hydration-layer structure, and counterion adsorption remain poorly defined. Here, we combine in situ crystal truncation rod (CTR) and resonant anomalous X-ray reflectivity (RAXR) with streaming potential measurements and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations to resolve the chemical and structural evolution of the EDL at the single-crystal alumina (012)−water interface in 10 mM Rb + over pH 3−12. CTR measurements reveal two distinct adsorbed water layers at ∼2.2 and ∼3.5 Å above the surface. Each water layer shifts toward the substrate at transition pHs near 6.5 and 10.6, respectively, reflecting changes in primary hydration layer structure in response to the deprotonation of bridging and terminal aluminol groups. RAXR shows a 10-fold increase in Rb + coverage and a decrease in mean adsorption height from ∼3.5 to ∼2.7 Å with increasing pH, indicating enhanced counterion binding accompanied by Stern layer contraction. Streaming potential measurements demonstrate that the zeta potential, i.e., the potential at the hydrodynamic shear plane, is positive at pH 3 and becomes negative at pH ≥ 3.5. The negative charge magnitude increases with increasing pH, consistent with progressive surface deprotonation at higher pH. AIMD identifies inner- and outer-sphere Rb+ complexes whose adsorption heights and coordination geometries depend sensitively on the protonation state of surface oxygens, providing atomistic support for the experimentally inferred trends. These measurements establish two discrete, site-specific pH transitions in hydration-layer structure that track aluminol (de)protonation and quantitatively link them to a pH-driven contraction of the Stern layer (increasing Rb + coverage and decreasing adsorption height). This provides a direct structural basis for connecting surface acid−base chemistry to ion binding distances at an oxide−water interface.

Patchy nanoparticles by atomic stencilling

Stencilling, in which patterns are created by painting over masks, has ubiquitous applications in art, architecture and manufacturing. Modern, top-down microfabrication methods have succeeded in reducing mask sizes to under 10 nm, enabling ever smaller microdevices as today’s fastest computer chips. Meanwhile, bottom-up masking using chemical bonds or physical interactions has remained largely unexplored, despite its advantages of low cost, solution-processability, scalability and high compatibility with complex, curved and three-dimensional (3D) surfaces. Here we report atomic stencilling to make patchy nanoparticles (NPs), using surface-adsorbed iodide submonolayers to create the mask and ligand-mediated grafted polymers onto unmasked regions as ‘paint’. We use this approach to synthesize more than 20 different types of NP coated with polymer patches in high yield. Polymer scaling theory and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation show that stencilling, along with the interplay of enthalpic and entropic effects of polymers, generates patchy particle morphologies not reported previously. These polymer-patched NPs self-assemble into extended crystals owing to highly uniform patches, including different non-closely packed superlattices. We propose that atomic stencilling opens new avenues in patterning NPs and other substrates at the nanometre length scale, leading to precise control of their chemistry, reactivity and interactions for a wide range of applications, such as targeted delivery, catalysis, microelectronics, integrated metamaterials and tissue engineering.

57 Fe nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopic studies of tetranuclear iron clusters bearing terminal iron( III )–oxido/hydroxido moieties

57 Fe nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) has been applied to study a series of tetranuclear iron ([Fe 4 ]) clusters based on a multidentate ligand platform (L 3− ) anchored by a 1,3,5-triarylbenzene linker and pyrazolate or (tertbutylamino)pyrazolate ligand (PzNH t Bu − ). These clusters bear a terminal Fe(III)–O/OH moiety at the apical position and three additional iron centers forming the basal positions. The three basal irons are connected with the apical iron center via a μ 4 -oxido ligand. Detailed vibrational analysis via density functional theory calculations revealed that strong NRVS spectral features below 400 cm −1 can be used as an oxidation state marker for the overall [Fe 4 ] cluster core. The terminal Fe(III)–O/OH stretching frequencies, which were observed in the range of 500–700 cm −1 , can be strongly modulated (energy shifts of 20–40 cm −1 were observed) upon redox events at the three remote basal iron centers of the [Fe 4 ] cluster without the change of the terminal Fe(III) oxidation state and its coordination environment. Therefore, the current study provides a quantitative vibrational analysis of how the remote iron centers within the same iron cluster exert exquisite control of the chemical reactivities and thermodynamic properties of the specific iron site that is responsible for small molecule activation.

Integration Study of Converter-Interfaced Combined Heat and Power Plants

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems, as a proven technology, provide numerous benefits to the plant owner by saving electricity bill, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and improving electricity service reliability. However, their integration into the distribution grid faces many barriers including the complexity of grid code requirements and the lack of technical expertise in commercial and small industrial plants to interface with the utility and accelerate the interconnection process. To solve these issues, this study proposes a converter-interfaced solution for CHP integration. Simulations including various fault scenarios and load flow under different grid conditions are carried out to compare technical performances of the proposed solution with directly-coupled CHP. Results show that the generator size of converter-interfaced CHP can be reduced by approximately 25% and it also provides advantageous features such as reduced stress level under fault conditions and a better dynamic stability margin. In addition, a power factor controller is designed and reactive power from CHP is dispatched in such a way that the CHP plant is compliant with power factor requirements from utilities under all operating conditions.

Seamless Transition of Critical Infrastructures using Droop Controlled Grid-forming Inverters

Seamless recovery of power to critical infrastructures, after grid failure, is a crucial need arising in scenarios that are increasingly becoming more frequent. Here, this article proposes a seamless transition strategy using a single and unified mode-dependent droop controlled grid-forming inverters. The control strategy achieves the following objectives: 1) regulates the output active and reactive power by the droop-controlled inverters to a desired value while operating in on-grid mode; 2) seamless transition and recovery of power injections into the load after grid failure by inverters that operates in grid-forming mode all the time; 3) requires only a single bit of information on the grid/network status for the mode transition. A framework for assessing the stability of the system and to guide the choice of parameters for controllers is developed using control-oriented modeling. A controller hardware-in-the-loop-based real-time simulation study on a test system based on the realistic electrical network of a commercial-scale medical center is conducted for initial prototyping of the control strategy. A hardware experiment is conducted with two 3 - $\phi$, 480 -V, 125 -kVA grid-forming inverters, a 3 - $\phi$, 480 -V, 270 -kVA grid simulator, a physical grid switch, and a physical load bank. The experimental data establishes the effectiveness of the always grid-forming operation and control of inverters in meeting power delivery objectives when on-grid and off-grid under various kinds of loads and scenarios while minimizing transients during transitions. Furthermore, performance comparison with existing strategies showcases the advantage of the proposed strategy.

Caldera Infrastructure Charge Module (ICM)

Caldera ICM is part of Caldera software platform, a suite of collective, open-source tools that was developed to improve the state of the art in modeling the impacts of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging on the grid. The foundation of Caldera ICM is it’s first-of-its-kind library of high-fidelity charging models for a wide variety of vehicles, validated by test data under a range of operating conditions. The charging models are used to accurately model the EV charging on an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) – also known as a charger. ICM uses as inputs, the EV characteristics such as battery size, battery chemistry (i.e. NMC, LTO), watt hour per mile, inverter efficiency and max charge rate; as well as EVSE characteristics such as max current and supply equipment type (i.e. L2 vs XFC). Using these inputs Caldera ICM creates an uncontrolled charging profile curve for each compatible EV-EVSE pair. These charge profiles can be used stand alone to estimate charge duration given start State Of Charge (SOC) and end SOC or charge energy size given start SOC and charge duration. In Caldera Grid, another tool in the Caldera software platform, these charge profiles are used to represent EV charging as a load on the grid using charge event data such as EV type, SE type, start SOC, final SOC, park start time and park end time. ICM currently supports energy shifting Smart Charge Management (SCM) strategies such as "Time Of Use (TOU) immediate”, “TOU random” and “random start” by delaying the charge to start at a preferable time with respect to the strategy and, one voltage support SCM strategy named autonomous voltage control strategy by providing reactive power back to the electric grid.

pH-Driven Restructuring of Hydration Layers and Cation Ad-sorption at the Alumina-Water Interface

Oxide-water interfaces underpin ion separation, catalysis, and electrochemical energy technologies, where the electrical double layer (EDL) controls adsorption, transport, and reactivity. Yet, the molecular-scale link between pH-dependent surface protonation, hydration-layer structure, and counter-ion adsorption remains poorly defined. Here, we combine in situ crystal truncation rod (CTR) and resonant anomalous X-ray reflectivity (RAXR) with streaming potential measurements and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations to resolve the chemical and structural evolution of the EDL at the single-crystal alumina (012)-water interface in 10 mM Rb+ over pH 3-12. CTR measurements reveal two distinct adsorbed water layers at ~2.2 and ~3.5 Å above the surface that each shift toward the substrate at transition pHs near 6.5 and 10.6, respectively, directly reflecting changes in primary hydration layer structure in response to the deprotonation of bridging and terminal aluminol groups.

Updated Reference VTR Core for CD-1

A preliminary reference core design was previously developed for the Versatile Test Reactor. The main features are that it is a 300 MW th sodium-cooled fast reactor using ternary metallic fuel U-20Pu-10Zr and able to achieve peak fast fluxes (E n > 0.1 MeV) in excess of 4.0x10 15 n/cm 2 -s. The plutonium in the fuel was assumed to be “reactor grade”, with a fissile quality of about 72% (i.e., 239 Pu and 241 Pu comprise 72% of the plutonium isotopes), and the uranium was assumed to be low-enriched uranium with 5% 235 U. This preliminary core design has been used through the CD-0 phase of the VTR project. Progression of the work after CD-0 led to revising, updating and refining the reference VTR core design, based on considerations from the various VTR teams: fuel, experiment, safety, and plant design teams. The objective of this report is to summarize the various changes made and details added to the model, to provide a description of the updated reference VTR core design and of its performance characteristics. This includes the traditional reactor physics characteristics, fuel cycle details, reactivity coefficients, temperature distributions, control rod worths and shutdown requirements. All of these define the updated “reference VTR core” intended to be used through CD-1.

Preliminary Gap Analysis of Existing IEEE 1547 and IEEE 2800 Standards Towards GFM Technology

This document describes the tests that are conducted on generic grid-forming (GFM) distributed energy resource (DER) and inverter-based resource (IBR) models to check if the performance of the model aligns respectively with the IEEE Std 1547 TM -2018 and IEEE Std 2800 TM -2022 requirements. For the IEEE Std 1547 TM -2018 requirements, specifically the tests related to volt-var requirements and frequency droop requirements are conducted. For the IEEE Std 2800 TM -2022 requirements, specifically the tests conducted are related to reactive- power-voltage control requirements, active-power-frequency response requirements, voltage disturbance ride through requirements and phase jump ride through requirements. This is an initial draft/document. There are many more tests still yet to be done to further verify if the existing standards have a gap or inadvertent barrier to GFM technology.
