Effects of Atomic-Scale Structure on the Fracture Properties of Amorphous Carbon - Carbon Nanotube Composites

The fracture of carbon materials is a complex process, the understanding of which is critical to the development of next generation high performance materials. While quantum mechanical (QM) calculations are the most accurate way to model fracture, the fracture behavior of many carbon-based composite engineering materials, such as carbon nanotube (CNT) composites, is a multi-scale process that occurs on time and length scales beyond the practical limitations of QM methods. The Reax Force Field (ReaxFF) is capable of predicting mechanical properties involving strong deformation, bond breaking and bond formation in the classical molecular dynamics framework. This has been achieved by adding to the potential energy function a bond-order term that varies continuously with distance. The use of an empirical bond order potential, such as ReaxFF, enables the simulation of failure in molecular systems that are several orders of magnitude larger than would be possible in QM techniques. In this work, the fracture behavior of an amorphous carbon (AC) matrix reinforced with CNTs was modeled using molecular dynamics with the ReaxFF reactive forcefield. Care was taken to select the appropriate simulation parameters, which can be different from those required when using traditional fixed-bond force fields. The effect of CNT arrangement was investigated with three systems: a single-wall nanotube (SWNT) array, a multi-wall nanotube (MWNT) array, and a SWNT bundle system. For each arrangement, covalent bonds are added between the CNTs and AC, with crosslink fractions ranging from 0-25% of the interfacial CNT atoms. The SWNT and MWNT array systems represent ideal cases with evenly spaced CNTs; the SWNT bundle system represents a more realistic case because, in practice, van der Waals interactions lead to the agglomeration of CNTs into bundles. The simulation results will serve as guidance in setting experimental processing conditions to optimize the mechanical properties of CNT composites.

Anode Upcycling via Tailored Solvent Treatment

To achieve a truly closed-loop direct recycling process for lithium-ion batteries, all component materials must be recovered. To date, direct recycling method development has primarily focused on the high-value transition-metal cathode materials, while the inherently lower-value graphite has been challenging to recover in a cost-effective manner. However, end-of-life graphite contains a unique engineered value due to the presence of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Growth of the SEI during the cell's active lifetime stabilizes the electronically reactive graphite surface through an irreversible consumption of Li, and thus necessitates both excess lithiation of the cathode and a costly and time-intensive formation procedure during manufacturing. An optimized pre-formed SEI that capitalizes on existing SEI components from end-of-life batteries has the potential to significantly reduce cathode lithiation requirements and eliminate the critical bottleneck of formation cycling during cell remanufacturing. Further, retaining Li at the anode obviates the need for a separate Li leaching and recovery step, improving the overall efficiency of the direct recycling line. In this work, we present a novel approach to "upcycling" spent graphite through use of tailored chemical treatment to remove adverse (i.e., highly resistive and/or poorly passivating) SEI species while retaining beneficially passivating components. We have explored a rational set of solvents spanning a range of polarity, proticity, and molecular size to evaluate structure-property-performance relationships between applied solvent(s), removed and remaining SEI species, and electrochemical response of the resulting graphite product. Further, we have developed and optimized a robust and holistic analysis procedure that couples symmetric-cell electrochemical testing, multi-modal materials characterization, and advanced electrochemical modeling. These analysis results inform a set of correlative metrics for graphite performance relative to both solvent properties and upcycled SEI composition. We demonstrate effective tunability in the residual SEI composition by varying solvent identity and concentration, and report on several promising solvent systems that achieve comparable or performance to pristine graphite.

Fluidized Bed Gasification For Conversion of Biomass and Waste Materials to Renewable Hydrogen

This project was undertaken in order to study the potential for hydrogen production, at low cost, from mixtures of biomass and municipal solid waste (MSW). This approach allows for the production of hydrogen with a very low fossil carbon burden, while taking advantage of tipping fees (associated with MSW) to improved process economics. The team sourced three primary feedstocks (wood, MSW, and waste plastics) and characterized them comprehensively using established techniques with a long track record in the field of gasification. All three primary feedstocks were highly reactive and lost most of their mass during initial devolatilization. The production of tars, including heavy tars, was quite high, and was most problematic in the case of the MSW and Waste Plastics feedstocks. Little practical difference was identified between the MSW and Waste Plastics materials, and the addition of bed-forming materials (dolomite and brown alumina) to the feedstocks was found to reduce production of tars during devolatilization under thermogravimetric analysis and/or Fischer Assay conditions. A series of four tests in a lab-scale bubbling-fluidized-bed gasifier, at 50 psig of pressure and about 825 C, confirmed these findings. Pellet feedstocks, broken into fragments, were used for these tests, and pellets comprised of 50% MSW and 50% biomass were found to be the best option in terms of fossil carbon burden, economic potential, and gasification characteristics. Tests were then undertaken in a pilot-scale gasifier facility based on the GTI U-Gas fluidized-bed gasification technology. The feedstock handling train of the 20 TPD U-Gas pilot-scale gasifier located in Des Plaines, IL, was operated under simulated gasification conditions, and the 50/50 pellets were found to be very robust and unproblematic. An improved design for the forward end of the feedstock injection screw of the gasifier was developed and installed. The design approach was based on improved passive cooling of the front-most shroud at the end of the screw, since this approach was found in comprehensive modeling studies to be more than sufficient to accomplish the project objectives associated with this phase of the work, while also avoiding thermal gradients that could have caused heat-stress-induced damage to the refractory around the feedstock inlet if an active cooling approach had been applied. Careful technoeconomic analysis (TEA) of two possible 1000 TPD facilities was carried out. The TEA of conversion of MSW with corn stover in one case, and MSW with woody feedstock in the other case, showed that both had the potential to provide hydrogen at about $1/kg (minimum selling price, 2018 dollar basis). Of the two TEA cases, the one that was based on the conversion of wood in the southeastern USA was found to have slightly better economic potential. The other TEA case was based on a real location in Nebraska and called for corn stover feedstock conversion along with MSW. An underserved communities outreach program plan was developed in cooperation with personnel from the Nebraska Public Power District.

Accessibility and Reactivity of Pentavalent Plutonium under Alkaline Conditions

Plutonium exhibits a particularly complex and rich aqueous chemistry due to a dynamic redox equilibrium that can result in the coexistence of four different oxidation states in aqueous solution. Within this equilibrium, pentavalent plutonium is among the most soluble and dominant oxidation states of Pu in neutral to alkaline aqueous solutions of relevance to environmental chemistries and the extreme chemical environments encountered in high-level radioactive wastes. Despite this, the fundamental chemistry of Pu(V) under such conditions remains poorly understood. Here, in this study, we demonstrate the redox accessibility of Pu(V) in alkaline media based on the observations of an electrochemically reversible Pu(VI/V) couple at E 1/2 = 0.19 V vs Hg/HgO (0.29 V vs NHE), allowing us to electrolytically generate Pu(V) in alkaline solution. These Pu(V) solutions remained stable under ambient conditions for at least 9 days before precipitation of crystalline Na 2 [Pu V O 2 (OH) 3 ]·2H 2 O, the first structurally characterized Pu(V) hydroxide. The modest potential of the Pu(VI/V) redox couple allowed us to reproduce Na 2 [Pu V O 2 (OH) 3 ]·2H 2 O synthetically as well as isolate two additional novel Pu(V)-bearing hydroxide phases Na[Pu V O 2 (OH) 2 (H 2 O)]·2.5H 2 O and K 2 [Pu V O 2 (OH) 3 ]·2H 2 O as single crystals from alkaline reactions under mild hydrothermal conditions (<200 °C) using Na 2 O 2 and KO 2 as reductants. This reactivity is rationalized and informed by our electrochemical measurements. The properties of the Pu(V) solids were further characterized by using vibrational and optical spectroscopy.

Data-Driven Voltage Regulation of Distribution Grid Using Nonlinear Autoregressive Model with Exogenous Inputs (NARX)

This article proposes data-driven control via a nonlinear autoregressive model with exogenous inputs (NARX) for real-time voltage regulation of a modified feeder using reactive power sources. Traditional voltage control strategies rely on rule-based heuristics or optimization techniques, which often require detailed system models and extensive computational resources. The NARX-based controller learns system dynamics from historical data and predicts optimal reactive power dispatch in real-time for voltage correction. The proposed approach is evaluated on a power system feeder model under varying load and network conditions. Simulation results demonstrate that the NARX-based controller achieves improved voltage regulation, offering higher adaptability to system fluctuations. This study highlights the potential of data-driven control for enhancing the reliability of power distribution networks.

Transient Stability Study of IEEE 2800-2022 Standard Negative-Sequence-Current Compliant GFM IBRs

The primary function of grid-forming (GFM) inverter-based resources (IBRs) is to maintain voltage and fre- quency/phase angle stability; however, during unbalanced grid faults, IEEE Std. 2800-2022 requires IBRs to inject both positive- and negative-sequence reactive current. Enforcing compliance with this standard could compromise the stability of GFM IBRs under such fault conditions. This paper presents a preliminary transient stability study focused on the power angle stability of GFM IBRs operating in compliance with IEEE Std. 2800 during unbalanced faults. The goal is to assess potential stability issues associated with the standard's current injection requirements under fault ride-through conditions. The results show that injecting positive-sequence current with d-axis priority during unbalanced faults better preserves the power angle stability than the q-axis priority while still enabling negative-sequence current injection. These findings suggest that, to ensure stability, GFM IBRs might need to partially comply with IEEE Std. 2800 by prioritizing positive-sequence current injection along the d-axis.

Thermal Characterization of Fe3O4 Nanoparticles Formed from Poorly Crystalline Siderite

Increasing interest in environmental geochemistry has led to the recognition that crystals with sizes in the nanometer range (e.g., colloids and nanoscale precipitates) and poorly crystalline compounds (e.g., ferrihydrites) may comprise the majority of reactive mineral surface area near the Earth s surface. When the diameters of individual particles are in the range of 100 nm or less, the surface energy contribution to the free energy modifies phase stability. This results in stabilization of polymorphs not normally encountered in the macrocrystal domain. These phases potentially have very different surface-site geometries, adsorptive properties, and growth mechanisms, and exhibit size-dependent kinetic behavior. Thus nanophases dramatically modify the physical and chemical properties of soils and sediments. In a more general sense, the characteristics of nanocrystals are of intense technological interest because small particle size confers novel chemical, optical, and electronic properties. Thus, nanocrystalline materials are finding applications as catalytic substrates, gas phase separation materials, and even more importantly in the field of medicine. This is an opportune time for mineral physicists working on nanocrystalline materials to develop collaborative efforts with materials scientists, chemists, and others working on nanophase materials of technological interest (e.g., for magnetic memories). Our objective in this study was to synthesize submicron (<200 nm) magnetite and to study their thermal and particle size properties.

Reactive Distillation and Air Stripping Processes for Water Recycling and Trace Contaminant Control

Reactive distillation designs are considered to reduce the presence of volatile organic compounds in the purified water. Reactive distillation integrates a reactor with a distillation column. A review of the literature in this field has revealed a variety of functional reactive columns in industry. Wastewater may be purified by a combination of a reactor and a distiller (e.g., the EWRS or VPCAR concepts) or, in principle, through a design which integrates the reactor with the distiller. A review of the literature in reactive distillation has identified some different designs in such combinations of reactor and distiller. An evaluation of reactive distillation and reactive air stripping is presented with regards to the reduction of volatile organic compounds in the contaminated water and air. Among the methods presented, an architecture is presented for the evaluation of the simultaneous oxidation of organics in air and water. These and other designs are presented in light of potential improvements in power consumptions and air and water purities for architectures which include catalytic activity integrated into the water processor. In particular, catalytic oxidation of organics may be useful as a tool to remove contaminants that more traditional distillation and/or air stripping columns may not remove. A review of the current leading edge at the commercial level and at the research frontier in catalytically active materials is presented. Themes and directions from the engineering developments in catalyst design are presented conceptually in light of developments in the nanoscale chemistry of a variety of catalyst materials.

Mineral-Catalysed Formation of Marine NO and N 2 O on the Anoxic Early Earth

Microbial denitrification converts fixed nitrogen species into gases in extant oceans. However, it is unclear how such transformations occurred within the early nitrogen cycle of the Archean. Here 5we present experimental anoxic surface-catalyzed reduction of nitrite and nitrate via green rust and magnetite combined with diffusion and photochemical modeling. We find that in a Fe 2+ -rich marine environment, Fe minerals could have catalyzed abiotic denitrification reactions leading to the formation of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Nitrate did not exhibit reactivity in the presence of either mineral or aqueous Fe2+, however, both minerals induced rapid nitrite reduction 10to NO and N 2 O. While N 2 O escaped into the atmosphere (63% of nitrite-nitrogen, with green rust as catalyst), NO remained associated with precipitates (7%) serving as a potential shuttle to the benthic ocean.The modeling suggests that marine N 2 O emissions would have sustained 0.8-6 ppb of atmospheric N 2 O without a protective ozone layer. Our findings add detail to the as yet incompletely documented Archean nitrogen cycle, implying a globally distributed process driven 15by chemical kinetics similar to those of modern enzymatically mediated conversions.

A point-particle-based hydride shell-shedding model for ejecta particle transport in reactive environments

A shock wave passing over a rough or perturbed metal surface will induce a limiting case of Richtmyer–Meshkov instability and will cause small particles to eject from the surface and transport into the surrounding medium. These particles are known as ejecta and can be either solid or liquid in nature. Recent experiments have shown that liquid cerium ejecta clouds exhibit unexpected non-monotonic acceleration behaviors as well as temperature plateaus after a brief temperature rise if they are transporting in a chemically reactive, hydrogen-based medium while they act as expected in an inert medium. This work details a point-particle model developed for reactive cerium ejecta transport, which attempts to account for these new physics through the behavior of a developing solid hydride shell, which is believed to form as a product of the reaction. The overall model incorporates the effects of the reaction on the particle properties as well as the effects of potential shedding of the shell into sub-micrometer scale flakes and potential phase change of the hydride if the ejecta particles reach the melt point of the hydride layer. The model is tested by performing simulations of the original motivating experiments and comparing quantities, such as ejected mass, velocimetry, and temperature profiles, against the experimental data. While the model is able to capture many general features of the observed anomalies, some inaccuracies still exist. These point to both missing physics in the model (such as a deuterium adsorption mechanism on the hydride layer) as well as a lack of knowledge of certain material properties (such as the strength of cerium hydride to determine dynamic fracture thicknesses) needed to fully reduce the uncertainties in the model by up to an order of magnitude and perform a true attempt at model validation.

Large enhancement of ferroelectric properties of perovskite oxides via nitrogen incorporation

Perovskite oxides have a wide variety of physical properties that make them promising candidates for versatile technological applications including nonvolatile memory and logic devices. Chemical tuning of those properties has been achieved, to the greatest extent, by cation-site substitution, while anion substitution is much less explored due to the difficulty in synthesizing high-quality, mixed-anion compounds. Here, nitrogen-incorporated BaTiO3 thin films have been synthesized by reactive pulsed-laser deposition in a nitrogen growth atmosphere. The enhanced hybridization between titanium and nitrogen induces a large ferroelectric polarization of 70 μC/cm2 and high Curie temperature of ~1213 K, which are ~2.8 times larger and ~810 K higher than in bulk BaTiO3, respectively. These results suggest great potential for anion-substituted perovskite oxides in producing emergent functionalities and device applications.

OxyR regulates the oxidative stress response in Zymomonas mobilis during oxic growth and anoxic biofuel fermentation

The bacterium Zymomonas mobilis is widely studied for its potential as an industrial biofuel producer. Anoxic fermentation by Z. mobilis in lignocellulosic hydrolysate can generate bioethanol from renewable plant biomass. In this study, we deleted a gene from the Z. mobilis genome encoding a homolog of OxyR, a transcription factor that activates an oxidative stress response in bacteria to reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Deletion of this transcription factor inhibited growth of Z. mobilis in oxic, but not anoxic, conditions in laboratory media. A ROS probe revealed that the oxyR response is required to reduce intracellular ROS during oxic growth. Importantly for biofuel production, the absence of oxyR inhibited growth and delayed ethanol production during anoxic hydrolysate fermentation. To determine the source of oxidative stress in hydrolysates, we grew ΔoxyR in a synthetic hydrolysate containing known inhibitors found in hydrolysates. There was no growth defect in ΔoxyR in the synthetic hydrolysate, indicating that known inhibitory compounds are not the source of anoxic oxidative stress. We determined that ammonia-fiber expansion switchgrass hydrolysate contains significant peroxide concentrations. Addition of catalase to hydrolysate improves growth of both ΔoxyR and wild-type Z. mobilis in hydrolysate. This study uncovers an important source of stress to Z. mobilis during biofuel fermentation.

Comparative techno-economic analysis of synthetic renewable natural gas production via reactive CO 2 capture and conversion

Reactive CO 2 capture and conversion (RCC) is an emerging carbon management strategy that integrates CO 2 capture and conversion and avoids intermediate CO 2 purification. In this study, we design an RCC process to capture atmospheric CO 2 and react it with renewable hydrogen to produce synthetic renewable natural gas (SRNG), which serves as a carbon-neutral energy source and a chemical form of long-duration renewable energy storage. We assess the technological potential of RCC through process modeling, techno-economic, carbon footprint, and sensitivity analyses. Our findings demonstrate that RCC offers energy savings and comparable cost to separated capture and conversion processes. The cost is dominated by renewable hydrogen and material replacement cost. SRNG produced via RCC is competitive with existing low-carbon natural gas technologies and presents a promising low-cost option for long-duration energy storage. This work highlights the potential for deploying RCC technologies within a circular carbon economy and the scientific and technical challenges that must be overcome for material and technology developers.

Computed Potential Energy Surfaces for Chemical Reactions

A manuscript describing the calculations on the (1)CH2 + H2O, H2 + HCOH, and H2 + H2CO product channels in the CH3 + OH reaction, which were described in the last progress report, has been accepted for publication in J. Chem. Phys., and a copy of the manuscript is included in the appendix. The production of (1)CH2 in this reaction is important in hydrocarbon combustion since (1)CH2 is highly reactive and would be expected to insert into N2, possibly leading to a new source for prompt NO(x) (vide infra). During the last six months new calculations have been carried out for the NH2 + NO system, which is important in the thermal de-NO(x) process.

Effects of SRPPF ARS Effluent Variations on Magnesium Oxysulfate Solidification

A magnesium oxysulfate (MOS) grout formulation has been identified to solidify the liquid effluent from the Savannah River Plutonium Processing Facility (SRPPF) Aqueous Recovery System (ARS). The formulation uses reactive, light burnt MgO (28 wt%), anhydrous MgSO 4 (10 wt%), and dead burnt MgO (62 wt%), resulting in a grout with good mixability, acceptable density, acceptable setting times, and a leachate pH around 9.4, within the assumed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) brine pH range. A series of tests were then designed to observe how this formula reacted to variations in the liquid effluent. Liquid effluent temperature, the caustic pH level, concentration of NaNO 3 , and the presence of neutralization products, trace metals, and/or sodium sulfate (all potential residuals found in the effluent from upstream processing), were evaluated to see how each impacts the grout mixing time, peak temperature, setting time, presence of bleed water, leachate pH, and density. The standard mix has an average mixing time of 18 minutes, peak temperature of 100.5 °C, and set time of 60 minutes. Increasing the temperature of the liquid effluent increased the reaction rate of the mix and reduced mixing and setting times. Between 30 and 40°C the change was relatively small, raising no more than 6 °C compared to the standard mix maximum temperature. Increasing the pH of the liquid effluent had no significant impact on the mix. The addition of neutralization products and trace metals had an overall impact of decreasing the reactivity of the mix. The addition of more ions in the liquid effluent, such as an increase in the concentration of NaNO 3 and the addition of Na 2 SO 4 , generally decreased the reactivity of the mix. None of the variations to the liquid effluent hindered solidification as indicated by the lack of bleed water found on all the samples. The leachate pH values for all mixes tested did not significantly vary from the expected pH of 9.4 and none of the density values fell below 1.8 g/cm 3 . Overall, changes to the liquid effluent were found to have a minimal impact on the formulation suggesting the grout's ability to properly form despite increased temperatures and the presence of residuals typically found in the liquid effluent from the ARS.

Pulmonary Toxicity Studies of Lunar Dusts in Rodents

NASA will build an outpost on the Moon for prolonged human habitation and research. The lunar surface is covered by a layer of fine, reactive dust. Astronauts on the Moon will go in and out of the base for various activities, and will inevitably bring some dust into the living quarters. Depressurizing the airlock so that astronauts can exit for outdoor activities could also bring dust inside the airlock to the habitable area. Concerned about the potential health effects on astronauts exposed to airborne lunar dust, NASA directed the JSC Toxicology Laboratory to determine the pulmonary toxicity of lunar dust. The toxicity data also will be needed by toxicologists to establish safe exposure limits for astronauts residing in the lunar habitat and by environmental engineers to design an appropriate dust mitigation strategy. We conducted a study to examine biomarkers of toxicity (inflammation and cytotoxicity) in lung lavage fluids from mice intrapharyngeally instilled with lunar dust samples; we also collected lung tissue from the mice for histopathological examination 3 months after the dust instillation. Reference dusts (TiO2 and quartz) having known toxicities and industrial exposure limits were studied in parallel with lunar dust so that the relative toxicity of lunar dust can be determined. A 6-month histopathology study has been planned. These instillation experiments will be followed by inhalation studies, which are more labor intensive and technologically difficult. The animal inhalation studies will be conducted first with an appropriate lunar dust simulant to ensure that the exposure techniques to be used with actual lunar dust will be successful. The results of these studies collectively will reveal the toxicological risk of exposures and enable us to establish exposure limits on lunar dust for astronauts living in the lunar habitat.

Cobalt‐Doped Bismuth Nanosheet Catalyst for Enhanced Electrochemical CO 2 Reduction to Electrolyte‐Free Formic Acid

Electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) to valuable liquid fuels, such as formic acid/formate (HCOOH/HCOO − ) is a promising strategy for carbon neutrality. Enhancing CO 2 RR activity while retaining high selectivity is critical for commercialization. To address this, we developed metal-doped bismuth (Bi) nanosheets via a facile hydrolysis method. These doped nanosheets efficiently generated high-purity HCOOH using a porous solid electrolyte (PSE) layer. Among the evaluated metal-doped Bi catalysts, Co-doped Bi demonstrated improved CO 2 RR performance compared to pristine Bi, achieving ~90 % HCOO − selectivity and boosted activity with a low overpotential of ~1.0 V at a current density of 200 mA cm −2 . In a solid electrolyte reactor, Co-doped Bi maintained HCOOH Faradaic efficiency of ~72 % after a 100-hour operation under a current density of 100 mA cm −2 , generating 0.1 M HCOOH at 3.2 V. Density functional theory (DFT) results revealed that Co-doped Bi required a lower applied potential for HCOOH generation from CO 2 , due to stronger binding energy to the key intermediates OCHO* compared to pure Bi. In conclusion, this study shows that metal doping in Bi nanosheets modifies the chemical composition, element distribution, and morphology, improving CO 2 RR catalytic activity performance by tuning surface adsorption affinity and reactivity.
