Breakthrough Zn(II) Catalyst for Direct Air Capture Employing CO 2 Hydration

Direct air capture (DAC) represents a vital technology for atmospheric CO₂ remediation, but few studies have tested catalysts at dilute atmospheric CO₂ concentrations. Inspired by the carbonic anhydrase metalloenzyme, we report a catalytic DAC strategy employing robust zinc(II) enzyme mimics that enable efficient CO₂ sequestration pathways. A catalyst-mediated CO₂ hydration cycle in aqueous sorbents facilitates accelerated capture from dilute atmospheric air, thereby addressing the kinetic limitations observed in carbonate-based systems. Our developed complexes [ZnC1] and [ZnC2] enhance capture rates up to two-fold at millimolar concentrations and improve CO₂ mass transfer by 40-60% in 1 M K₂CO₃ sorbent under ambient conditions. These bench-stable, earth-abundant zinc catalysts operate effectively under dilute CO₂ concentrations, overcoming the kinetic limitations of conventional carbonate-based sorbents. As a result, mechanistic studies support a biomimetic catalytic cycle that facilitates rapid CO₂ conversion, demonstrating that catalyst-assisted DAC can enable energy-efficient, scalable carbon capture technologies.

Enhanced cycling stability of Ni-rich Li-metal cells enabled by dual vinylene carbonate and tris(trimethylsilyl)borate electrolyte additives

NMC811 (LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 ) and other high-Ni chemistries are promising cathode candidates for high-performance electric vehicles, owing to their high energy density and reduced cobalt content. However, their long-term cycling stability is hindered by surface degradation, particularly when paired with conventional electrolytes and a lithium metal anode. Electrolyte additives represent a practical approach to enhance interfacial stability and improve overall battery performance by promoting the formation of a robust electrolyte–electrode interphase (EEI). In this study, we revisit the effects of vinylene carbonate (VC) and tris(trimethylsilyl)borate (TMSB) additives on single-crystal SC-NMC811||Li cells. While TMSB only increases the open-circuit voltage and initial overpotential, it delivers superior capacity retention at C/3 compared to cells containing only VC or a dual additive system (VC and TMSB). Notably, under fast-charging conditions (1C, 2C, and 5C), the dual-additive system significantly outperforms other formulations, achieving markedly enhanced long-term capacity retention. Comprehensive electrochemical and spectroscopic analyses reveal that the VC/TMSB dual-additive system suppresses surface transition in NMC811, mitigates structural degradation by forming a thin, LiF-deficient cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI) layer. Moreover, they promote smooth and dense Li deposition and generate a LiF-deficient solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). Consequently, the synergistic stabilization of both the CEI and SEI effectively limits the overall cell impedance growth during extended cycling. These findings provide key insights into co-additive strategies for engineering stable interfaces in high-energy Ni-rich Li-metal batteries.

Rotor response for transient unbalance changes in a nonlinear simulation

Transient unbalance shifts were determined not to excite a rotor instability in the high pressure turbomachinery of the Space Shuttle Main Engine using the current rotor dynamic models. Sudden unbalance changes of relatively small magnitudes during fast-speed ramps showed stable nonsynchronous motion depending on the resultant unbalance distribution at subsequent high speed dwells. Transient moment unbalance may initiate a limit cycle subsynchronous response that shortly decays, but a persistent subsynchronous with large amplitudes was never achieved. These limit cycle subsynchronous amplitudes appear to be minimized with lower unbalance magnitudes, which indicates improved rotor balancing would sustain synchronous motion only. The transient unbalance phenomenon was determined to be an explanation for synchronous response shifts often observed during engine tests.

Highly Reversible Sodium Ion Batteries Enabled by Stable Electrolyte-Electrode Interphases

Sodium (Na) ion battery is a very promising technology for the alternative energy storage systems because of the abundance and low cost of Na element in the Earth’s crust. However, the limited cycle life and safety concerns still hinder its large-scale applications. Here, we report a nonflammable localized high concentration electrolyte (sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide - triethyl phosphate/1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether (1:1.5:2 in molar ratio)), which enables a very high initial Coulombic efficiency (CE) of 97.8% for Na||Na-CNFM (O3-NaCu1/9Ni2/9Fe1/3Mn1/3O2) cells and stable cycling of Na||hard carbon (HC) cells with a capacity retention of 95.4% after 500 cycles. The HC||Na-CNFM full cells using this electrolyte retain 82.5% capacity after 200 cycles with a CE of ~99.9% compared to 48.4% capacity retention in the carbonate electrolyte (1 M NaPF6/EC+DMC (1:1 in weight)). The extremely high CE and stability of HC||Na-CNFM cells in this electrolyte can be attributed to the stable interphase layers formed on both HC anode and Na-CNFM cathode. These layers minimize undesirable reaction between HC and electrolyte, and block the dissolution of transition metal from cathode. The insight obtained in this work can be used to further improve cycling stability and safety of rechargeable batteries.

Particle Size Optimization of Thermochemical Salt Hydrates for High Energy Density Thermal Storage

Thermal energy storage (TES) solutions offer opportunities to reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and cost. Specifically, they can help reduce the peak load and address the intermittency of renewable energy sources by time shifting the load, which are critical toward zero energy buildings. Thermochemical materials (TCMs) as a class of TES undergo a solid–gas reversible chemical reaction with water vapor to store and release energy with high storage capacities (600 kWh m −3 ) and negligible self‐discharge that makes them uniquely suited as compact, stand‐alone units for daily or seasonal storage. However, TCMs suffer from instabilities at the material (salt particles) and reactor level (packed beds of salt), resulting in poor multi‐cycle efficiency and high‐levelized cost of storage. In this study, a model is developed to predict the pulverization limit or R crit of various salt hydrates during thermal cycling. This is critical as it provides design rules to make mechanically stable TCM composites as well as enables the use of more energy‐efficient manufacturing process (solid‐state mixing) to make the composites. The model is experimentally validated on multiple TCM salt hydrates with different water content, and effect of R crit on hydration and dehydration kinetics is also investigated.

CHARACTERISTICS OF CYCLE-TO-CYCLE COMBUSTION VARIABILITY AT PARTIAL-BURN LIMITED AND MISFIRE LIMITED SPARK TIMING UNDER HIGHLY DILUTED CONDITIONS

Diluted combustion with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) has been widely employed to improve the fuel economy of spark ignition engines. The combustion kinetics, however, are affected and the flame propagation speed is decreased. In order to compensate for this adverse effect, the spark timing needs to be recalibrated to achieve maximum brake torque (MBT). At high levels of EGR dilution, the spark timing is constrained by two ignition limits: 1) the partial-bum limit where the spark timing is retarded from MBT and 2) the misfire limit where the spark timing is too advanced. This work uses a probabilistic framework to capture the differences between both ignition limits. In particular, it introduces the concept of a nominal indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) distribution based on the stochastic properties of the cycle-to-cycle variability (CCV) at nominal stable conditions. By defining a nominal band where fully burned cycles occur with high probability, we introduce a cycle classification method that can be used to 1) determine the level of randomness of misfire and partial-burn events, and 2) measure CCV. The new CCV metric based on the density of the nominal band is compared with the traditional coefficient of variation of IMEP (CoVIMEP). It is shown that the nominal band concept, together with the CoVIMEP, can help to discern between partial-burn limited and misfire limited conditions. Furthermore, the Kullback-Leibler divergence is used to demonstrate that the IMEP distribution is significantly different between nominal and partial-burn/misfire limited conditions. Experiments are carried at various EGR levels and spark timings while recoding in-cylinder pressure at steady state. Although the emphasis of this work is to characterize the differences of both ignition limits from a probabilistic point of view, similarities between partial-burn cycles at either limiting conditions are also discussed.

High Ion Conductive and Selective Membrane Achieved through Dual Ion Conducting Mechanisms

Conventional ion-selective membranes, that is ion-exchange and porous membranes, are unable to perform high conductivity and selectivity simultaneously due to the contradictions between their ion selecting and conducting mechanisms. Here, in this work, a bifunctional ion-selective layer is developed via the combination of nanoporous boron nitride (PBN) and ion exchange groups from Nafion to achieve high ion conductivity through dual ion conducting mechanisms as well as high ion selectivity. A template-free method is adopted to synthesize flake-like PBN, which is further enmeshed with Nafion resin to form the bifunctional layer coated onto a porous polyetherimide membrane. The double-layer membrane exhibits excellent ion selectivity (1.49 × 10 8 mS cm –3 min), which is 22 times greater than that of the pristine porous polyetherimide membrane, with outstanding ion conductivity (64 mS cm –1 ). In a vanadium flow battery, the double-layer membrane achieves a high Coulombic efficiency of 97% and outstanding energy efficiency of 91% at 40 mA cm –2 with a stable cycling performance for over 700 cycles at 100 mA cm –2 . PBN with ion exchange groups may therefore offer a potential solution to the limitation between ion selectivity and conductivity in ion-selective membranes.

Nonsacrificial Additive for Tuning the Cathode–Electrolyte Interphase of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Solid–electrolyte interphases is essential for stable cycling of rechargeable batteries. The traditional approach for interphase design follows the decomposition of additives prior to the host electrolyte, which, as governed by the thermodynamic rule, however, inherently limits the viable additives. Here we report an alternative approach of using a nonsacrificial additive. This is exemplified by the localized high-concentration electrolytes, where the fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) plays a nonsacrificial role for modifying the chemistry, structure, and formation mechanism of the cathode–electrolyte interphase (CEI) layers toward enhanced cycling stability. On the basis of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we further reveal that the unexpected activation of the otherwise inert species in the interphase formation is due to the FEC–Li + coordinated environment that altered the electronic states of reactants. In conclusion, the nonsacrificial additive on CEI formation opens up alternative avenues for the interphase design through the use of the commonly overlooked, anodically stable compounds.

Kinetically Stable Oxide Overlayers on Mo 3 P Nanoparticles Enabling Lithium–Air Batteries with Low Overpotentials and Long Cycle Life

The main drawbacks of today's state-of-the-art lithium–air (Li–air) batteries are their low energy efficiency and limited cycle life due to the lack of earth-abundant cathode catalysts that can drive both oxygen reduction and evolution reactions (ORR and OER) at high rates at thermodynamic potentials. Here, inexpensive trimolybdenum phosphide (Mo 3 P) nanoparticles with an exceptional activity—ORR and OER current densities of 7.21 and 6.85 mA cm –2 at 2.0 and 4.2 V versus Li/Li + , respectively—in an oxygen-saturated non-aqueous electrolyte are reported. The Tafel plots indicate remarkably low charge transfer resistance—Tafel slopes of 35 and 38 mV dec –1 for ORR and OER, respectively—resulting in the lowest ORR overpotential of 4.0 mV and OER overpotential of 5.1 mV reported to date. Using this catalyst, a Li–air battery cell with low discharge and charge overpotentials of 80 and 270 mV, respectively, and high energy efficiency of 90.2% in the first cycle is demonstrated. Furthermore, a long cycle life of 1200 is also achieved for this cell. Density functional theory calculations of ORR and OER on Mo 3 P (110) reveal that an oxide overlayer formed on the surface gives rise to the observed high ORR and OER electrocatalytic activity and small discharge/charge overpotentials.

Impact of Lithium‐Free Borate Additives on the Cycle Life and Calendar Aging of Silicon‐Based Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Silicon-anode lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) suffer from limited cycle life and poor calendar life, constraining their large-scale commercialization. Integrating additives into electrolytes is a simple and cost-effective strategy to improve these aspects. The effects of lithium-free boron-based additives on cycling and calendar performance of high-loading Si-anode LIBs remain largely unexplored. In this work, the influence of five Li-free borate additives, each with distinct molecular structures and elemental compositions, is systematically investigated. All additives enhance cycle life to varying extents. Notably, the addition of 1 v/v% tri(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) borate to the baseline electrolyte nearly doubles the cycle life at 50% state of health. This enhancement is attributed to three key factors. Specifically, borate additives 1) improve electrochemical activity, 2) act as anion receptors that interact with [PF6]- anions and carbonate solvents to reduce electrolyte decomposition, and 3) promote the formation of a stable and polymeric solid electrolyte interphase layer. Furthermore, these additives exhibited negligible impact in mitigating leakage current during a 180 h voltage-hold calendar-aging test, indicating their limited effect in calendar life. These findings provide insight into the role of Li-free borate additives in improving cycle life while addressing the knowledge gap regarding their influence on calendar aging.

Controlling Attitude of a Solar-Sail Spacecraft Using Vanes

A paper discusses a concept for controlling the attitude and thrust vector of a three-axis stabilized Solar Sail spacecraft using only four single degree-of-freedom articulated spar-tip vanes. The vanes, at the corners of the sail, would be turned to commanded angles about the diagonals of the square sail. Commands would be generated by an adaptive controller that would track a given trajectory while rejecting effects of such disturbance torques as those attributable to offsets between the center of pressure on the sail and the center of mass. The controller would include a standard proportional + derivative part, a feedforward part, and a dynamic component that would act like a generalized integrator. The controller would globally track reference signals, and in the presence of such control-actuator constraints as saturation and delay, the controller would utilize strategies to cancel or reduce their effects. The control scheme would be embodied in a robust, nonlinear algorithm that would allocate torques among the vanes, always finding a stable solution arbitrarily close to the global optimum solution of the control effort allocation problem. The solution would include an acceptably small angle, slow limit-cycle oscillation of the vanes, while providing overall thrust vector pointing stability and performance.

Lessons from Earth Aerobiology for Venus Astrobiology

Venus’s clouds have often suggested as a possible habitat. The constraints governing putative airborne life in such a habitat in turn inform priorities and strategies for remote and in situ exploration, methods by which resulting biosignatures might be detected, exoplanet habitability assessment, and planetary protection concerns. Lessons drawn from studying Earth’s aerobiosphere can help improve this understanding. There are altitude ranges within Venus’s clouds in which temperature, pressure, particle size, and radiation appear to be within the limits of microbial life on Earth, and life cycles involving S- and Fe-based redox metabolism have been proposed. However, given the lack of a habitable surface reservoir, a long-term stable Venus aerobiosphere would require that the reproduction rate of the airborne microbes be faster than the settling rate of airborne microbes due to gravity, or eventually the population would be depleted; put another way, the mean generation time would need to exceed the mean residence time. This creates a joint constraint of aerosol dynamics, potential nutrient availability and energy influx, and bioenergetic costs such as desiccation and radiation damage. Even at an optimistic estimate of 75% H2SO4, Venus aerosol water activity (aw) is still ~0.02, far below the observed microbial growth limit of ~0.6. Long-term desiccation with brief spurts of repair and growth in response to transient water influx, such as from volcanism, is the most likely model for Earth-like life on Venus – a ‘desert bloom’ scenario. Several high-priority science goals – cloud aerosol composition, internal radiative flux, and aerosol residence time and circulation models – thus will also improve our understanding of Venus in an astrobiology context. In Earth’s troposphere, warm water clouds can carry 103 – 105 cells/mL, some metabolically active. However, Earth’s stratospheric sulfate aerosol layer may be a better analogue: supercooled sulfuric acidaerosols (acid weight fraction 0.6 – 0.85, 0.1 – 1 μm diameter, 0.1 – 1 cm-3) with little water activity, long residence times, high UV radiation, and only sporadic influx from surface particle sources. Though ‘hot spots’ can occur associated with tropospheric mixing, viable cells in stratospheric samples are rare (~102 cells/m3), and primarily inactive forms such as spores. It is not yet clear whether such bioaerosols are associated with sulfate aerosols or simply co-located, and reproduction in situ has not yet been observed. In this model of a sparse, largely dormant Venus ecosystem, a single transect on descent is likely to pass through a low-water, inactive region, missing potential signs of habitability or biosignatures. A targeted strategy would sample through an aerial region with some upwelling from surface sources, andtake multiple transects separated in time and space. This is compatible with other in situ science goals seeking to understand the dynamics and heterogeneities of Venus’s clouds.

Pulling thin single crystal silicon wafers from a melt: The new leading-edge solar substrate

The Floating Silicon Method (FSM) has been established as a viable, stable method for growing single crystal ribbons directly from a silicon melt. With intense helium jet cooling to drive the linear progress of a [111] facet, pulled in the <110> direction, ribbons in the 0.6 – 3.0 mm thickness range can be grown at linear growth rates from 0.3 mm/s to >6 mm/s as reported in the literature. We report on recent progress towards growing (100) oriented ribbons with a net thickness of less than 200 microns and a ribbon width up to 18 cm using a stable, continuous process in the Leading Edge prototype furnace. Here, the 3D details of the single crystal growth are explained by extending the mechanics of the Limit Cycle Theory, with novel Internal Side Effect morphology described by a proposed Facet Flow Theory. Grown-in crystalline defect distributions are described as well as values of critical impurities like oxygen, carbon, dopants, and metals that are relevant for use as wafers for solar cells.

Scalable Solar Fuels Production in A Reactor Train System by Thermochemical Redox Cycling of Novel Nonstoichiometric Perovskites

Hydrogen production via two-step thermochemical water splitting redox cycles using nonstoichiometric redox-active metal oxides has the potential to dramatically increase fuel production rates. At moderate-to-low water splitting temperatures, surface reaction kinetics co-limit the process. In such cases, stable and high surface area microstructures that allow exploitation of the full thermodynamic potential of the materials are essential as is tight thermal integration of the reactor module. This project’s goals were the development of novel nonstoichiometric perovskite oxides with high stability and favorable thermodynamic and kinetic properties, to optimize their microstructure for maximizing the fuel productivity, and to build a prototype reactor train system (RTS) comprising at least one reactor to meet specific performance targets: (1) capable of an in-house solar thermochemical hydrogen (STCH) productivity ≥ 12 mL g -1 for stable continuous operation ≥ 20 cycles; and (2) demonstration of scalable solar fuels production at practical solar reactor level in an industrial-scale concentrated solar tower (CST) using developed perovskites to achieve a hydrogen production rate ≥ 1 g h -1 .

A Reductively Stable Electrolyte Realizes Deep Cycling Behavior in Anode‐free Sodium Batteries

For anode‐free sodium batteries to achieve practical consideration, highly reversible chemistries require exceptional ≥99.95% coulombic efficiencies that maintain over prolonged cycling periods. To do so, consumption of this severely limited sodium inventory must be restricted while metal nucleation processes that comprise the in situ formed metal anode are improved. Herein, we describe a fluorine‐free carborane electrolyte that satisfies these criteria by emphasizing reductive stability and weakly coordinating anion behavior as design principles. We find this approach promotes the development of a thin, robust SEI chemistry rich in both organic speciation and boron. The electrolyte described herein exhibits ideal metal nucleation behavior on one‐micron thin carbonaceous current collector surfaces and achieves a metal deposition/stripping efficiency near parity for 400 cycles. This novel anode chemistry is introduced to anode‐free full cell configurations where 87% of the initial discharge capacity is retained after 1000 cycles at 2.0 C. In conclusion, post‐test characterization of deep‐cycled anode‐free cells reveals suppressed capacity fade in these systems is attributed to the chemical stability of the carborane anion.

A lithium-sulfur battery with a solution-mediated pathway operating under lean electrolyte conditions

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is one of the most promising candidates for the next generation energy storage systems. However, several barriers, including polysulfide shuttle effect, the slow solid-solid surface reaction pathway in the lower discharge plateau, and corrosion of Li anode still limit its practical applications, especially under the lean electrolyte condition required for high energy density applications. Here, we propose a solution-mediated sulfur reduction pathway to improve the capacity and reversibility of the sulfur cathode and suppress dendrite growth on the Li metal anode simultaneously. With this method, a high coulombic efficiency (99%) and stable cycle life over 100 cycles were achieved under application-relevant conditions (S loading: 6.2 mg cm-2; electrolyte to sulfur ratio: 3 mLE gs-1; sulfur weigh ratio: 72 wt%). This result is enabled by a specially designed Li2S4-rich electrolyte, in which Li2S is formed through a chemical disproportionation reaction instead of electrochemical routes. A diglyme solvent was used to obtain electrolytes with the optimum range of Li2S4 concentration. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy confirms the solution pathway in a practical Li-S cell. This solution pathway not only introduces a new electrolyte regime for practical Li-S batteries, but also provides a new perspective for bypassing the inefficient surface pathway for other electrochemical processes.

Probing Interfacial Reaction Pathways in Atomic Layer Deposition on Sulfide Superionic Conductors

Sulfide superionic conductors (e.g., argyrodite Li 6 PS 5 Cl, LPSCl) are extremely promising for all solid-state batteries, but poor atmospheric stability and high interfacial reactivity limit widespread adoption. Coating LPSCl powders with ultrathin coatings using atomic layer deposition (ALD) mitigates these problems, protecting against atmospheric degradation and reducing reactivity with Li metal, yielding more stable cycling. Despite significant promise, the ALD mechanism is unknown, hampering the development of new coating chemistries. In this study, we elucidate the mechanism for Al 2 O 3 ALD on LPSCl using trimethyl aluminum (TMA) and H 2 O by combining in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ex situ solid-state magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance, UV Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. We determine that ALD Al 2 O 3 nucleates promptly via TMA reaction with native —OH, —SH, and PS 3 -OH groups to form transient C–Al–O(S) species that are rapidly hydrolyzed during the subsequent H 2 O exposure. This reversible transformation maintains surface nucleophilicity and prevents sulfide decomposition. The resulting layer-by-layer growth leads to highly conformal Al 2 O 3 coatings on LPSCl that are readily scalable to ≥ 50 g quantities using a rotating drum fixture. This detailed understanding of ALD surface reactions provides critical insights guiding the selection of future ALD chemistries with improved performance.

Large-scale experimental validation of thermochemical water-splitting oxides discovered by defect graph neural networks

Thermochemical water-splitting (TCH) based on 2-step thermal redox cycles in metal oxides is a promising approach to generating H 2 , but state-of-the-art (SOTA) CeO 2 has several practical limitations, which has motivated continued materials discovery efforts in this field. Here, in this study, we improve upon a SOTA defect graph neural network (dGNN) surrogate model's oxygen vacancy predictions and combine them with materials project phase diagrams to down-select and discover structurally diverse, experimentally known metal oxides whose TCH performance was previously unknown. Amongst twelve candidates selected based on our high-throughput screening and down-selection criteria, we achieved ∼80% accuracy in identifying materials with stable redox cycling and hydrogen production in stagnation flow reactor water-splitting experiments. Closer to 100% accuracy can be achieved if higher-accuracy, hybrid DFT-predicted vacancy formation energies were computed and used in lieu of the most uncertain dGNN-based screening predictions, as they correct false positives to true negatives. Notably, two discovered candidates, Sr 3 PrMn 2 O 8 and Ba 2 Fe 2 O 5 , display hydrogen yields greater than CeO 2 under specific redox conditions. In conclusion, these results demonstrate our ability to computationally predict and experimentally validate promising candidate TCH materials that have the potential to compete with CeO 2 .
