Alkali-induced catalytic tuning at metal and metal oxide interfaces

Alkali metals have been recognized as effective promoters in heterogeneous catalysis, capable of enhancing catalytic activity and tuning product distributions. Over the past few decades, significant efforts have been made aiming to reveal the mechanisms underlying the promoting effect of alkalis. However, the roles that alkali metals play in the catalytic process remain elusive due to challenges in capturing their catalytic behaviours upon exposure to reactive environments. This review summarizes recent surface science and theoretical studies of alkali (potassium, cesium)-decorated metal and metal oxide model catalysts, revealing the crucial tuning by alkalis of activity and selectivity for CO 2 hydrogenation. The analysis of electronic structures identifies the selective binding mechanism of the positively charged alkali ions on the surface, being able to reduce the surface work function and lead to strong electron polarization on the surfaces. Depending on the alkali–support interaction, the deposition of alkalis can selectively modify the bindings of reaction intermediates involved in CO 2 hydrogenation via the interplay among the ionic, covalent and electrostatic tunings. As a result, CO 2 can be effectively activated and converted into diverse products at the alkali–support interface, ranging from formic acid to methanol and ethanol. The identified selective bond-tuning advances the application of alkalis in promoting catalytic activity and controlling catalytic selectivity at alkali–support interfaces.

Geo-Responsive Chemomechanics in Aluminum Oxyhydroxide via Alkali-Driven Dehydroxylation for Supercritical Geothermal Systems

Widespread use of enhanced geothermal systems can revolutionize global renewable electrical power access, yet its advancement is hindered by the inherent instability of Portland cement-based chemistries for geothermal well construction under high-temperature corrosive conditions. Here, in this work, we demonstrate the tunable mechanical performance of aluminum oxyhydroxides as cementitious materials through an alkali-controlled dehydroxylation reaction pathway for long-term applications under supercritical geothermal environments. Notably, the synthesized aluminum oxyhydroxides demonstrate remarkable stability, maintaining superior mechanical performance under supercritical conditions for over 30 days. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy measurements and geochemical thermodynamic modeling uncover that the gibbsite dehydroxylation pathway functions as a key dial for tuning the chemomechanics, rendering the aluminum oxyhydroxide a strong cementitious material. By uncovering the mechanistic role of alkali-driven dehydroxylation, this work proposes a cementitious chemistry distinct from conventional Portland cement and geopolymer-dominated alkali-activated systems, laying the groundwork for developing next-generation cementitious materials for supercritical geothermal energy exploitation.

The role of the metal core in the performance of WO x inverse catalysts

In this study, metal-metal oxide inverse catalysts are valuable in diverse applications but selecting pairs is challenging. Here we investigate the role of metal cores (Pt, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ni) in the formation and dynamics of Brønsted acid sites on WO x overlayer on carbon. By in situ/ex situ characterizations, probe chemistry kinetics, and DFT calculations, we demonstrate that metals with varying work functions promote the WO x dispersion, enhancing the Brønsted acidity than the 3D crystallites on carbon at submonolayer coverages by tuning the oxidation state of WO x . The metal core impacts the water splitting and hydroxylation of WO x . Water splitting on Ru-WO x is thermodynamically favorable compared to Ni-WO x and increases the dehydration rate on the former, leading to an activity enhancement by increasing the H 2 pulsing frequency. This study provides insights into optimizing inverse catalysts.

Tuning the band topology of GdSb by epitaxial strain

Rare-earth monopnictide (RE-V) semimetal crystals subjected to hydrostatic pressure have shown interesting trends in magnetoresistance, magnetic ordering, and superconductivity, with theory predicting pressure-induced band inversion. Yet, thus far, there have been no direct experimental reports of interchanged band order in RE-Vs due to strain. This work studies the evolution of band topology in biaxially strained GdSb(001) epitaxial films using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and density functional theory (DFT). As biaxial strain is tuned from tensile to compressive strain, the gap between the hole and the electron bands dispersed along [001] decreases. The conduction and valence band shifts seen in DFT and ARPES measurements are explained by a tight-binding model that accounts for the orbital symmetry of each band. Finally, we discuss the effect of biaxial strain on carrier compensation and magnetic ordering temperature.

Electrochemical Random-Access Memory: Progress, Perspectives, and Opportunities

Non-von Neumann computing using neuromorphic systems based on analogue synaptic and neuronal elements has emerged as a potential solution to tackle the growing need for more efficient data processing, but progress toward practical systems has been stymied due to a lack of materials and devices with the appropriate attributes. Recently, solid state electrochemical ion-insertion, also known as electrochemical random access memory (ECRAM) has emerged as a promising approach to realize the needed device characteristics. ECRAM is a three terminal device that operates by tuning electronic conductance in functional materials through solid-state electrochemical redox reactions. This mechanism can be considered as a gate-controlled bulk modulation of dopants and/or phases in the channel. Early work demonstrating that ECRAM can achieve nearly ideal analogue synaptic characteristics has sparked tremendous interest in this approach. More recently, the realization that electrochemical ion insertion can be used to tune the electronic properties of many types of materials including transition metal oxides, layered two-dimensional materials, organic and coordination polymers, and that the changes in conductance can span orders of magnitude has further attracted interest in ECRAM as the basis for analogue synaptic elements for inference accelerators as well as for dynamical devices that can emulate a wide range of neuronal characteristics for implementation in analogue spiking neural networks. At its core, ECRAM shares many fundamental aspects with rechargeable batteries, where ion insertion materials are used extensively for their ability to reversibly store charge and energy. Computing applications, however, present drastically different requirements: systems will require many millions of devices, scaled down to tens of nanometers, all while achieving reliable electronic-state tuning at scaled-up rates and endurances, and with minimal energy dissipation and noise. Further, in this review, we discuss the history, basic concepts, recent progress, as well as the challenges and opportunities for different types of ECRAM, broadly grouped by their primary mobile ionic charge carrier, including Li, protons, and oxygen vacancies.

Local Structure Analysis and Modelling of Lignin‐Based Carbon Composites through the Hierarchical Decomposition of the Radial Distribution Function

Abstract Carbonized lignin has been proposed as a sustainable and domestic source of activated, amorphous, graphitic, and nanostructured carbon for many industrial applications as the structure can be tuned through processing conditions. However, the inherent variability of lignin and its complex physicochemical structure resulting from feedstock and pulping selection make the Process‐Structure‐Property‐Performance (PSPP) relationships hard to define. In this work, radial distribution functions (RDFs) from synchrotron X‐ray and neutron scattering of lignin‐based carbon composites (LBCCs) are investigated using the Hierarchical Decomposition of the Radial Distribution Function (HDRDF) modelling method to characterize the local atomic environment and develop quantitative PSPP relationships. PSPP relationships for LBCCs defined by this work include crystallite size dependence on lignin feedstock as well as increasing crystalline volume fraction, nanoscale composite density, and crystallite size with increasing reduction temperature.

LDRD conclusion poster - Synthesizing Heterometallic Uranium Single Crystals to Understand the Influence of the Secondary Metals on Uranyl Axial Bond Strength

Understanding how transition metals influenced the chemistry of lanthanide and actinide (f-element) materials is critical for advancing separation technologies, materials design, and coordination chemistry. This project examined how incorporating first-row transition metals affected the structural and spectroscopic properties of f-element coordination polymers. In uranium(VI)-based systems synthesized with 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (PDC) ligands, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy revealed that the presence of transition metals shortened the uranyl axial bond and induced a blue shift in its symmetric stretching vibration—evidence of increased bond strength. Electronic structure analysis, including Density of States (DOS) calculations using density functional theory (DFT), revealed altered orbital overlaps and highlighted the role of transition metal d-orbitals in modulating bonding. Raman modes were modeled using truncated structural fragments in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame, and although the predicted frequencies were lower than experimental values, they remained within expected ranges. In parallel, similar experiments with cerium (Ce) in the presence of cobalt (Co) and PDC demonstrated multi-step single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations—behavior not observed in the uranium systems. Initial products included light yellow, orange, and polycrystalline materials. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, conducted in collaboration with the Colorado School of Mines, identified the yellow phase as monometallic Ce(PDC)2(H2O)2·4H2O and the orange phase as heterometallic Ce2Co(PDC)4(H2O)6. After standing in solution for one week, both phases fully transformed into a dark yellow crystalline phase, [Ce3(PDC)5(H2O)8].6(H2O). Remarkably, this transformation was reversible—disturbing the equilibrium by removing some crystals caused reversion to the initial Ce(PDC)2(H2O)2·4H2O phase, highlighting dynamic behavior. All three structures were previously unreported. Solid-state UV-visible and Raman spectroscopy further distinguished these phases, revealing ligand-to-metal charge transfer involving Ce and characteristic d–d transitions from Co(II). The precise mechanism driving these transformations remained unclear; however, pH-dependent experiments confirmed that the transformation did not occur when the pH decreased. Overall, the project demonstrated that transition metals could be employed to tune bonding interactions, structural dimensionality, and optical properties in f-element materials, establishing new pathways for designing functional heterometallic systems. The work resulted in several novel structural discoveries and fostered productive collaborations with the University of Notre Dame and the Colorado School of Mines.

Investigation of the Performance and Explainability Tradeoffs for Machine-Learning Models for Predictive Maintenance of Circulating Water Systems in Nuclear Power Plants

Predictive maintenance (PdM) has shown great potential for achieving substantial cost savings and enhancing the economic competitiveness of nuclear power plants (NPPs) in today's energy market. Among the different modeling approaches that exist, machine learning (ML) tools in particular have a demonstrated ability to handle high dimensional and multivariate data and to extract hidden relationships within data in industrial environments. While ML methods show great potential, their lack of explainability---especially for black-box models---is a major hurdle to their adoption. Moreover, considering the supposed trade-off between explainability and performance challenges, careful consideration must be made as to which of these quality aspects takes precedence in light of multiple modeling options, resource availability, and domain characteristics. The present work evaluates the performance of six ML models, each with a different degree of explainability, in classifying the conditions of circulating water pumps (CWPs) by utilizing sensor data from nuclear power plants. To determine the drivers behind the trade-offs presented by this array of models, this work also tests different combinations of CWP units as the training and testing data, degrees of data imbalance, and objective functions for hyperparameter tuning. It was found that black-box models tend to afford superior performance in cases where there are far more instances of one type of labeled data than of any other type. It is recommended that a guided procedure be followed for designing and delivering an ML system that is sufficiently explainable to all involved stakeholders.

Nanomorphology of eco-friendly colloidal inks, relating non-fullerene acceptor surface energy to structure formation

Nanoengineered, eco-friendly, solution-processable electroactive materials are in demand for the growing field of printed electronics, and these material requirements can be achieved by the development of waterborne colloidal dispersions. Functionality in these composite materials can be tuned by thermodynamically modifying the material nanomorphology, often by creation of kinetically stabilized aqueous nanoparticle dispersions. In this work we demonstrate that the internal structure of organic nanoparticles is controlled by the surface energy difference between the polymeric donor material and the non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) material. Nanoparticles of the following donor–acceptor combinations, suitable for printed organic photovoltaics, have been synthesized: TQ1:N2200, TQ1:PNDIT10, P3HT:N2200, P3HT:o-IDTBR and P3HT:eh-IDTBR. Advanced synchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopy and microscopy are used to correlate the formation of core–shell nanoparticle morphology to the material surface energy. We subsequently present a viable avenue for customizing the blended nanoparticle structure into (i) core–shell, (ii) molecularly intermixed, or (iii) inverted shell–core structures. Our results showed that TQ1:PNDIT10 and P3HT:o-IDTBR nanoparticles were comprised of a donor-rich shell and an NFA-rich core, however, interestingly we show a reversal to the inverse NFA shell/donor core structure for TQ1:N2200, P3HT:N2200 and P3HT:eh-IDTBR nanoparticles, driven by the low surface energy of N2200 (23.7 mJ m –2 ) and eh-IDTBR (18.3 mJ m –2 ). This article is the first report of a flipped nanoparticle core–shell morphology comprising an NFA-rich shell for the miniemulsion synthesis route. The composition of the shells and cores was able to be controlled by the differential mismatch in the surface energy of the donor and acceptor materials, with ΔG surface > 0, ΔG surface = 0, and ΔG surface < 0 for acceptor core–donor shell, molecularly intermixed, and acceptor shell–donor core, respectively. Accordingly, we introduce an entirely overlooked new figure of merit (FoM) for customizing nanoparticulate colloidal inks: tunable surface energy of non-fullerene-based semiconductors. Finally, the establishment of this FoM opens up electroactive material design to a wide range of functional printing applications with varying device and ink structure requirements, thereby reshaping the nanoengineering toolkit for waterborne colloidal dispersions and hence printed electronics.

JETSCAPE framework: p+p results

The JETSCAPE framework is a modular and versatile Monte Carlo software package for the simulation of high energy nuclear collisions. In this work we present a new tune of JETSCAPE, called PP19, and validate it by comparison to jet-based measurements in p + p collisions, including inclusive single jet cross sections, jet shape observables, fragmentation functions, charged hadron cross sections, and dijet mass cross sections. These observables in p+p collisions provide the baseline for their counterparts in nuclear collisions. Quantifying the level of agreement of JETSCAPE results with p+p data is thus necessary for meaningful applications of JETSCAPE to A+A collisions. The calculations use the JETSCAPE PP19 tune, defined in this paper, based on version 1.0 of the JETSCAPE framework. For the observables discussed in this work calculations using JETSCAPE PP19 agree with data over a wide range of collision energies at a level comparable to standard Monte Carlo codes. These results demonstrate the physics capabilities of the JETSCAPE framework and provide benchmarks for JETSCAPE users.

Enhancing Chiroptoelectronic Activity in Chiral 2D Perovskites via Chiral–Achiral Cation Mixing

Rational design of chiral two-dimensional hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites is crucial to achieve chiroptoelecronic, spintronic, and ferroelectric applications. Here, in this study, an efficient way to manipulate the chiroptoelectronic activity of 2D lead iodide perovskites is reported by forming mixed chiral (R- or S-methylbenzylammonium (R-MBA + or S-MBA + )) and achiral (n-butylammonium (nBA + )) cations in the organic layer. The strongest and flipped circular dichroism signals are observed in (R/S-MBA 0.5 nBA 0.5 ) 2 PbI 4 films compared to (R/S-MBA) 2 PbI 4 . Moreover, the (R/S-MBA 0.5 nBA 0.5 ) 2 PbI 4 films exhibit pseudo-symmetric, unchanged circularly polarized photoluminescence peak as temperature increases. First-principles calculations reveal that mixed chiral–achiral cations enhance the asymmetric hydrogen-bonding interaction between the organic and inorganic layers, causing more structural distortion, thus, larger spin-polarized band-splitting than pure chiral cations. Temperature-dependent powder X-ray diffraction and pair distribution function structure studies show the compressed intralayer lattice with enlarged interlayer spacing and increased local ordering. Overall, this work demonstrates a new method to tune chiral and chiroptoelectronic properties and reveals their atomic scale structural origins.

Tuning the fluid wetting dynamics on gold microstructures using photoactive compounds

This work demonstrates how photoactive compounds can be used to tune the surface chemistry, surface free energy, and the wetting velocity of fluids on Spiropyran functionalized surfaces with different surface microstructures. Evidence of this photowetting effect is based on data showing: (1) the cyclic changes in the static, advancing, and receding contact angles $\theta$ CA for multiple UV$\rightleftarrows$vis photoswitching cycles with both smooth and microstructured surfaces and (2) the changes in the fluid wicking velocity (via UV$\rightleftarrows$vis photoswitching) on different Spiropyran functionalized hemiwicking surfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is used to determine the efficiency of photoswitching caused by the quality of the Spiropyran functionalization. Reversible photoisomerization of Spiropyran generates a gradient in surface free energy, resulting in a similar change in contact angle ($\theta$ CA ) in the photoswitchable surfaces. In conclusion, by incorporating these changes into the Owens-Wendt and Van Oss surface energy models, the energy of smooth Au surfaces can also be predicted for both UV and visible light irradiations, where reversible contact angle variations of $\Delta$$\theta$ CA ≈ 5–10° are achieved with both water and water-ethanol mixtures due to the conversion of SP to merocyanine, which corresponds to a total free energy change of ~13% on the photoswitchable surface.

Control of magnetic properties of MnBi 2 Te 4 using a van der Waals ferroelectric III 2 -VI 3 film and biaxial strain

Using the first-principles calculations, we systematically investigated magnetic properties of a MnBi 2 Te 4 (MBT) monolayer in contact with III 2 -VI 3 two-dimensional ferroelectric substrates. As the electric polarization in the ferroelectric films is switched, a semiconductor to half-metal transition occurs in MBT, and its magnetic easy axis in several cases reorients. As an example, the Curie temperature of MBT/In 2 Se 3 can be enhanced to 21.5 or 32 K under the influence of electric polarization and biaxial strain, much higher than that of the pristine MBT monolayer, which is 14.5 K in our calculations. Our results in this work suggest effective ways to tune magnetic properties of MBT and provide useful insights for the further development of these important van der Waals functional materials.

Use of wind data in global modelling

The European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is producing operational global analyses every 6 hours and operational global forecasts every day from the 12Z analysis. How the wind data are used in the ECMWF golbal analysis is described. For each current wind observing system, its ability to provide initial conditions for the forecast model is discussed as well as its weaknesses. An assessment of the impact of each individual system on the quality of the analysis and the forecast is given each time it is possible. Sometimes the deficiencies which are pointed out are related not only to the observing system itself but also to the optimum interpolation (OI) analysis scheme; then some improvements are generally possible through ad hoc modifications of the analysis scheme and especially tunings of the structure functions. Examples are given. The future observing network over the North Atlantic is examined. Several countries, coordinated by WMO, are working to set up an 'Operational WWW System Evaluation' (OWSE), in order to evaluate the operational aspects of the deployment of new systems (ASDAR, ASAP). Most of the new systems are expected to be deployed before January 1987, and in order to make the best use of the available resources during the deployment phase, some network studies are carried out at the present time, by using simulated data for ASDAR and ASAP systems. They are summarized.

Robust multi‐loop control of a floating wind turbine

Abstract A principal challenge facing the control of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) is the problem of instability, or “negative damping,” when using blade pitch feedback to control generator speed. This closed‐loop instability can be attributed to non‐minimum phase zeros in the transfer function from blade pitch to generator speed. Standard approaches to improving stability and performance include robust tuning of control gains and introducing multiple feedback loops to respond to platform motion. Combining these approaches is nontrivial because multiple control loops complicate the impact of coupling in the system dynamics. The single‐loop approach to analyzing stability robustness neglects inter‐loop coupling, while a simplistic multi‐loop approach is highly sensitive to dimensional scaling and overestimates the robustness of the single‐loop controller. This work proposes a sensitivity representation that separates some of the natural FOWT dynamic coupling into a parallel feedback loop in the sensitivity function loop to address both of these concerns. The modified robustness measure is used with a simplified linear FOWT model to optimize scheduled multi‐loop control parameters in an automated tuning procedure. This controller is implemented for the 10‐MW Ultraflexible Smart FLoating Offshore Wind Turbine (USFLOWT) and compared against conventional single‐ and multi‐loop controllers tuned using frequency‐domain analysis and high‐fidelity OpenFAST simulations. The multi‐loop robust controller shows the highest overall performance in generator speed regulation and tower load reduction, though consideration of power quality, actuator usage, and other structural loading leads to additional trade‐offs.

Optical tuning of the diamond Fermi level measured by correlated scanning probe microscopy and quantum defect spectroscopy

Quantum technologies based on quantum point defects in crystals require control over the defect charge state. Here we tune the charge state of shallow nitrogen-vacancy and silicon-vacancy centers by locally oxidizing a hydrogenated surface with moderate optical excitation and simultaneous spectral monitoring. The loss of conductivity and change in work function due to oxidation are measured in atmosphere using conductive atomic force microscopy and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). We correlate these scanning probe measurements with optical spectroscopy of the nitrogen-vacancy and silicon-vacancy centers created via implantation 15–25 nm beneath the diamond surface and annealing. The observed charge state of the defects as a function of optical exposure demonstrates that laser oxidation provides a way to precisely tune the Fermi level over a range of at least 2.00 eV. We also observe a significantly larger oxidation rate for implanted surfaces compared to unimplanted surfaces under ambient conditions. Here, combined with knowledge of the electron affinity of a surface, these results suggest KPFM is a powerful, high-spatial-resolution technique to advance surface Fermi level engineering for charge stabilization of quantum defects.

A genetic algorithms approach for altering the membership functions in fuzzy logic controllers

Through previous work, a fuzzy control system was developed to perform translational and rotational control of a space vehicle. This problem was then re-examined to determine the effectiveness of genetic algorithms on fine tuning the controller. This paper explains the problems associated with the design of this fuzzy controller and offers a technique for tuning fuzzy logic controllers. A fuzzy logic controller is a rule-based system that uses fuzzy linguistic variables to model human rule-of-thumb approaches to control actions within a given system. This 'fuzzy expert system' features rules that direct the decision process and membership functions that convert the linguistic variables into the precise numeric values used for system control. Defining the fuzzy membership functions is the most time consuming aspect of the controller design. One single change in the membership functions could significantly alter the performance of the controller. This membership function definition can be accomplished by using a trial and error technique to alter the membership functions creating a highly tuned controller. This approach can be time consuming and requires a great deal of knowledge from human experts. In order to shorten development time, an iterative procedure for altering the membership functions to create a tuned set that used a minimal amount of fuel for velocity vector approach and station-keep maneuvers was developed. Genetic algorithms, search techniques used for optimization, were utilized to solve this problem.

Strong and recyclable bio-derived poly(ester amide) hot-melt adhesive

Bio-based adhesives offer inherent advantages over conventional petrochemical-derived systems, including renewable sourcing, reduced environmental impact and potential degradability. However, most bio-based adhesives suffer from poor adhesion strength, limited substrate compatibility and a lack of chemical recyclability. Here, in this work, we present a bio-derived multiblock poly(ester amide) adhesive that leverages microphase segregation between different segments to reconcile mechanical robustness with strong interfacial bonding. Notably, this multiblock architecture is accessed through a one-pot, selective acceptorless dehydrogenative polymerization, obviating the need for multistep synthesis. The materials exhibit excellent adhesion across a range of substrates including metals, glass and wet wood surpassing commercial benchmarks, while also demonstrating thermal stability, tunable mechanical properties and closed-loop chemical recyclability even in the presence of other commodity plastics. Furthermore, the adhesive strength of these materials could be tuned for various potential applications through control over the chemical composition of the polymer. By integrating renewable feedstocks, high-performance functionality and efficient chemical circularity within a single platform, this work provides a viable pathway toward more sustainable adhesive technologies and contributes to advancing circular materials manufacturing.
