Iron-assisted growth of anisotropic ZnO nanostructures

Anisotropic nanostructures offer a promising pathway to modulate structure-function relationships of materials. However, the correlation between growth direction of high-quality anisotropic nanostructures, the synthesis conditions and mechanisms controlling their growth, and their magnetic and optical properties remain underexplored. In this study, we developed an iron-assisted anisotropic growth method to form zinc oxide nanostructures on the O-polar (0001̄) surface, resulting in two distinct ZnO-based nanostructures: hand-shaped nanostructures and truncated hexagonal nanopyramids. In contrast to most reports of anisotropic nanostructure synthesis, which primarily focus on morphology control through ligand-ligand interactions, the current study probes the effects of doping on anisotropic growth, and how doping, along with ligand-ligand interactions and facet-specific ligand binding, control nanostructure morphology. The reaction mechanisms leading to formation of these novel structures were thoroughly probed by systematically manipulating synthesis parameters. A two-step formation mechanism was identified: first, a hexagonal platform forms through an initial homogeneous nucleation process, followed by secondary heterogeneous nucleation, which results in metastable secondary nanostructures growing on the oxygen-rich template. Optical and magnetic properties of these Fe/ZnO nanostructures were characterized. Our findings provide a new strategy that uses a magnetic element as a dopant to build new nanostructures of ZnO with controllable size and shape growing on an oxygen-rich crystal plane. These materials could have applications in novel technologies where both optoelectronic and magnetic properties are of interest.

Role of Intra-Domain Heterogeneity on Ion and Polymer Dynamics in Block Polymer Electrolytes: An Approach for Spatially Resolving Dynamics and Ion Transport

The design of safe and high-performance, nanostructured, block polymer (BP) electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries requires a thorough understanding of the key parameters that govern local structure and dynamics. Yet, the interfaces between microphase separated domains can introduce complexities in this local behavior that can be challenging to quantify. Herein, the local polymer, cation (Li + ), and anion dynamics were described in salt-doped polystyrene block poly(oligo-oxyethylene methyl ether methacrylate) (PS-b-POEM) through a quantitative framework that considered the effects of polymer architecture, segmental mixing, chain stretching, and confinement on polymer mobility and ion transport. This framework was validated through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy measurements on solid (dry) polymer electrolyte samples. Notably, a mobility transition temperature (T mobility ) was identified through NMR spectroscopy that captured the local dynamics more accurately than the thermal glass transition temperature. Additionally, the approach quantitatively described the mobility gradient across a domain when segmental mixing effects were combined with chain stretching and confinement information, especially at higher segregation strengths – facilitating the assessment of local ion diffusion and conductivity. As a result, spatially averaged local ion diffusion predictions quantitatively matched NMR-measured ion diffusivities in the BP samples, while spatially summed ionic conductivity predictions across a domain qualitatively captured trends in the measured ionic conductivities.

Probing the Nanoscale Excitonic Landscape and Confinement of Excitons in Gated Monolayer Semiconductors

Engineering and probing excitonic properties at the nanoscale remains a central challenge in quantum photonics and optoelectronics. While exciton confinement via electrical control and strain engineering has been demonstrated in 2D semiconductors, substantial nanoscale heterogeneity limits the scalability of 2D quantum photonic device architectures. Here, in this work, we use cathodoluminescence spectroscopy to probe the excitonic landscape of monolayer WS 2 under electrostatic gating. Exploiting the high spatial resolution of the converged electron beam, we resolve a homojunction arising between gated and ungated regions. Moreover, we reveal an exciton confinement channel arising from an unconventional doping mechanism driven by the interplay between the electron beam and the applied gate fields. These findings offer new insights into the optoelectronic behavior of monolayer semiconductors under the combined influence of electron-beam excitation and electrostatic gating. Our approach provides a pathway for exciton manipulation at the nanoscale and opens opportunities for controlling quantum-confined exciton transport in 2D materials.

Germanium-silicon solid solutions

An experiment on melting and directional crystallization of an antimony (Sb) doped germanium silicon (GeSi) solid solution was designed for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) to study the possibility of using zero-g conditions for obtaining solid-solution monocrystals with uniformly distributed components. Crystallization in the zero-g environment did not occur under ideal stationary growth and segregation conditions. Crystallization under zero-g conditions revealed the heterogeneous nature of Si and Sb distribution in the cross sections of crystals. The presence of the radial thermal gradient in the multipurpose furnace could be one of the reasons for such Si and Sb distribution. The structure of space-grown crystals correlates with the nature of heterogeneities of Si and Sb distribution in crystals. The type of surface morphology and the contour observed in space-grown crystals were never observed in ground-based crystals and indicate the absence of wetting of the graphitized walls of the ampoule by the melt during melting and crystallization.

Breaking New Ground: MB ene Route toward Selective Vinyl Double Bond Hydrogenation in Nitroarenes

Doping, or incremental substitution of one element for another, is an effective way to tailor a compound’s structure as well as its physical and chemical properties. Herein, we replaced up to 30% of Ni with Co in members of the family of layered LiNiB compounds, stabilizing the high-temperature polymorph of LiNiB while the room-temperature polymorph does not form. By studying this layered boride with in situ high-temperature powder diffraction, we obtained a distorted variant of LiNi 0.7 Co 0.3 B featuring a perfect interlayer placement of [Ni 0.7 Co 0.3 B] layers on top of each other–a structural motif not seen before in other borides. Because of the Co doping, LiNi 0.7 Co 0.3 B can undergo a nearly complete topochemical Li deintercalation under ambient conditions, resulting in a metastable boride with the formula Li 0.04 Ni 0.7 Co 0.3 B. Heating of Li 0.04 Ni 0.7 Co 0.3 B in anaerobic conditions led to yet another metastable boride, Li 0.01 Ni 0.7 Co 0.3 B, with a CoB-type crystal structure that cannot be obtained by simple annealing of Ni, Co, and B. No significant alterations of magnetic properties were detected upon Co-doping in the temperature-independent paramagnet LiNi 0.7 Co 0.3 B or its Li-deintercalated counterparts. Finally, Li 0.01 Ni 0.7 Co 0.3 B stands out as an exceptional catalyst for the selective hydrogenation of the vinyl C=C bond in 3-nitrostyrene, even in the presence of other competing functional groups. Finally, this research showcases an innovative approach to heterogeneous catalyst design by meticulously synthesizing metastable compounds.

Site heterogeneity and broad surface-binding isotherms in modern catalysis: Building intuition beyond the Sabatier principle

Learning the science of heterogeneous catalysis and electrocatalysis always starts with the simple case of a flat, uniform surface with an ideal adsorbate. It has of course been recognized for a century that real catalysts are more complicated. For the increasingly complex catalysts of the 21st century, this Perspective argues that surface heterogeneity and non-ideal binding isotherms are central features, and their implications need to be incorporated in current thinking. A variety of systems are described herein where catalyst complexity leads to broad, non-Langmuirian surface isotherms for the binding of hydrogen atoms – and this occurs even for ideal, flat Pt(111) surfaces. Modern catalysis employs nanoscale materials whose surfaces have substantial step, edge, corner, impurity, and other defect sites, and they increasingly have both metallic and non-metallic elements M n X m , including metal oxides, chalcogenides, pnictides, carbides, doped carbons, etc. The surfaces of such catalysts are often not crystal facets of the bulk phase underneath, and they typically have a variety of potential active sites. Catalytic surfaces in operando are often non-stoichiometric, amorphous, dynamic, and impure, and often vary from one part of the surface to another. Understanding of the issues that arise at such nanoscale, multi-element catalysts is just beginning to emerge. Yet these catalysts are widely discussed using Brønsted/Bell-Evans-Polanyi (BEP) relations, volcano plots, Tafel slopes, the Butler-Volmer equation, and other linear free energy relations (LFERs), which all depend on the implicit assumption that the active sites are “similar” and that surface adsorption is close to ideal. These assumptions underly the ubiquitous intuition based on the Sabatier Principle, that the fastest catalysis will occur when key intermediates have free energies of adsorption that are not too strong nor too weak. Current catalysis research often aims to minimize the complexity of non-ideal isotherms through experimental and computational design (e.g., the use of single crystal surfaces), and these studies are the foundation of the field. In contrast, this Perspective argues that the heterogeneity of binding sites and binding energies is an inherent strength of these catalysts. Here, this diversity makes many nanoscale catalysts inherently a high-throughput screen wrapped in a tiny package. Only by making the heterogeneity part of the foundation of catalysis models, sorting the types of active sites and dissecting non-ideal binding isotherms, will modern catalysis learn to harness the inherent diversity of real catalysts. Controlling and exploiting diversity rather than avoiding it will help to optimize complex modern catalysts and catalytic conditions.

Flux Synthesis of Lattice‐Engineered Rutile Solid Solutions for Acidic Oxygen Evolution

Developing efficient and stable electrocatalysts for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is vital for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) technologies. Here, in this study, we report a flux synthesis of nitrogen-doped Ti–Ru rutile-type solid-solution oxides (M-TiRu 4 ) using molten NaNO 3 as the flux medium. The flux medium promotes the low-temperature conversion of TiN to rutile TiO 2 , while in situ-formed RuO 2 nanoparticles facilitate lattice templating and couple with interfacial ion migration, enabling the formation of homogeneous solid solutions with abundant lattice heterogeneity. Simultaneously, nitrogen atoms are stably incorporated into the lattice of solid solutions, inducing bandgap narrowing, which enhances electronic conductivity. The developed M-TiRu 4 catalyst exhibits exceptional acidic OER performance, delivering a low overpotential of 194 mV at 10 mA cm −2 , superior durability over 600 h, and a Ru mass activity 7.8 times that of commercial RuO 2 . At the device level, M-TiRu 4 enables PEMWE operation at 1.64 V @ 2 A cm −2 and maintains stable performance at 500 mA cm −2 for 200 h with a minimal degradation rate of 20 µV h −1 . This work demonstrates a robust approach for designing high-performance, durable acidic OER catalysts via synergistic lattice and electronic structure engineering, paving the way for next-generation water-splitting technologies.

Highly dispersed Pt atoms and clusters on hydroxylated indium tin oxide: a view from first-principles calculations

Supported single-atom and small cluster catalysts have become highly popular in heterogeneous catalysis. These catalysts can maximize the metal atom utilization while still showing superior catalytic performance. One of the main challenges in producing these small cluster catalysts is their low binding strength with the support, which causes these small clusters to sinter into larger nanoparticles. We have used first-principles simulations to study small Pt n ( n : 1,2,3) clusters on indium oxide, tin doped indium oxide, and hydroxylated tin doped indium oxide. We report that the Pt n cluster is stabilized in the presence of tin and that this is especially the case for Pt single atoms on the hydroxylated indium tin oxide support, which are anchored to the support via the hydroxyl group. On this support, the Pt single atoms become more stable than Pt 2 and Pt 3 clusters, hence decreasing sintering. These findings provide a promising way to design single-atom catalysts on electrically conducting supports for electrocatalytic applications and to better understand how functional groups on supports can increase the adhesion of cluster catalysts.

Influence of Joule Heating on the Stability of High Temperature Irradiation-resistant Thermocouples

Development of in-core instrumentation is driven by the pursuit of safer, more economic energy production from the perspective of both existing nuclear reactors and Generation IV reactor designs. Idaho National Laboratory has developed high-temperature irradiation-resistant thermocouples (HTIR-TCs) for temperature sensing inside Generation IV nuclear reactors. These thermocouples are composed of phosphorus-doped niobium (Nb-P) and lanthana-doped molybdenum (Mo-LaO) thermoelements, an alumina (Al2O3) insulation, and a niobium sheath. HTIR-TCs require an initial heat treatment exceeding the maximum service temperature to stabilize the generated electromotive force (EMF) signal. The mechanism behind the stabilization of the HTIR-TCs through traditional heat treatment methods is understood; however, the traditional heat treatment method is expensive, time consuming, and results in a heterogeneous microstructure. Therefore, we investigated a rapid method for stabilization and microstructure homogeneity, through Joule heating. This work evaluates the impact of Joule heating on the thermoelements’ microstructures, chemical stability, and mechanical properties so as to determine the mechanisms by which stabilization of the EMF signal occurs. Accordingly, during the Joule heat treatment, a secondary Nb3P phase coarsened along the length of the Nb-P thermoelement, along with the formation of an interaction region at the Al2O3/niobium interface. The interaction between the alumina insulation and the Nb-P thermoelement was also observed within the Mo-LaO thermoelement. Joule heating induced stability within the generated HTIR-TC EMF signal via the formation of secondary phases within the Nb-P and the interaction between the alumina insulation and the thermoelements.

Local Cation-Ordered Superlattice Stabilizing Ni-Rich Single-Crystalline Cathodes

Ni-rich single-crystalline cathodes are pivotal for advancing lithium-ion battery technology due to their high energy density and mechanical stability. However, Ni-rich single-crystalline particles face intrinsic structural heterogeneity due to excessively high sintering temperature required to shape micron-sized morphologies─typically over 150 °C above the polycrystalline optimum, leading to rapid electrochemical decay and unsatisfied rate performance that hinder their practical application. Here, in this work, we propose a lithium-deficient presintering strategy to synthesize cation-ordered single-crystalline LiNi 0.83 Co 0.12 Mn 0.05 O 2 (S-NCM83), effectively minimizing lattice chemical heterogeneity and defect formation. The resulting cation-ordered percolation network enhances the structural stability of the bulk, reduces the energy barrier for Li + migration, and stabilizes Li + diffusion pathways. Consequently, S-NCM83 demonstrates significantly improved cycling stability across various operating temperatures and achieves exceptional rate performance, delivering 206 mAh g –1 at 0.1 C and 170 mAh g –1 at 5 C, without requiring surface coatings or doping. This work introduces a universal strategy to address the long-standing structural instability issues in single-crystalline cathodes, paving the way for simplified and scalable approaches to long-life and high-energy lithium-ion batteries.

Tunable Oxygen Reduction Electrocatalysis by Phenazine-Modified Carbons (Final Report)

This project aims to systematically investigate the fundamental interfacial chemistry that underlies the four-electron, four-proton oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) mediated by heteroatom-doped graphitic carbon electrodes. Heteroatom-doped (Fe, N, etc.) graphitic carbons have emerged as a rich class of materials that are promising ORR catalysts in low temperature fuel cells because of their earth-abundant elements, extremely low cost, environmental harmlessness, and high tolerance to impurities in the fuel stream. However, despite decades of research, systematic efforts to improve the activity, selectivity, and durability of these catalysts has been hampered both by a complex heterogeneous distribution of potential N- and Fe-dopant active sites and by the inability to tune the local electronic structure and environment of the active site with molecular precision. Understanding the fundamental chemistry that influences the turnover-limiting and selectivity determining steps for ORR and other multielectron/multiproton electrocatalytic transformations requires new and innovative methods to prepare heteroatom active sites with molecular precision on carbon surfaces.

Visualizing Energy Transfer at Buried Interfaces in Layered Materials Using Picosecond X-Rays

Understanding the fundamentals of nanoscale heat propagation is crucial for next-generation electronics. For instance, weak van der Waals bonds of layered materials are known to limit their thermal boundary conductance (TBC), presenting a heat dissipation bottleneck. In this paper we present a new non-destructive method to probe heat transport in nanoscale crystalline materials using time-resolved x-ray measurements of photo-induced thermal strain. This technique directly monitors time-dependent temperature changes in the crystal and the subsequent relaxation across buried interfaces by measuring changes in the c-axis lattice spacing after optical excitation. We investigate films of five different layered transition metal dichalcogenides MoX 2 [X= S, Se, Te] and WX 2 [X= S, Se] as well as graphite and a W-doped alloy of MoTe 2 , on c-plane sapphire substrates, finding TBC values in the range 10-30 MWm -2 K -1 at room temperature. In conjunction with molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the high thermal resistances are a consequence of weak interfacial van der Waals bonding and low phonon irradiance. This work paves the way for an improved understanding of thermal bottlenecks in emerging three-dimensional heterogeneously integrated technologies.

Computer Modeling of Non-Isothermal Crystallization

A realistic computer model for simulating isothermal and non-isothermal phase transformations proceeding by homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation and interface-limited growth is presented. A new treatment for particle size effects on the crystallization kinetics is developed and is incorporated into the numerical model. Time-dependent nucleation rates, size-dependent growth rates, and surface crystallization are also included. Model predictions are compared with experimental measurements of DSC/DTA peak parameters for the crystallization of lithium disilicate glass as a function of particle size, Pt doping levels, and water content. The quantitative agreement that is demonstrated indicates that the numerical model can be used to extract key kinetic data from easily obtained calorimetric data. The model can also be used to probe nucleation and growth behavior in regimes that are otherwise inaccessible. Based on a fit to data, an earlier prediction that the time-dependent nucleation rate in a DSC/DTA scan can rise above the steady-state value at a temperature higher than the peak in the steady-state rate is demonstrated.

In Situ Investigation of Chemomechanical Effects in Thiophosphate Solid Electrolytes

Solid-state batteries can suffer from catastrophic failure at high current densities due to solid electrolyte fracture, interface decomposition, or lithium filament growth. Failure is linked to chemomechanical material transformations that can manifest during electrochemical cycling. We systematically investigate how solid electrolyte microstructure and interfacial decomposition (e.g., interphase) affect failure mechanisms in lithium thiophosphates (Li3PS4, LPS) electrolytes. Kinetically metastable interphases are engineered with iodine doping, and microstructural control is achieved using milling and annealing processing techniques. In situ transmission electron microscopy reveals iodine diffusion to the interphase, and upon electrochemical cycling, pores are formed in the interphase region. In situ synchrotron tomography reveals that interphase pore formation drives edge fracture events, which are the origin of through-plane fracture failure. Fractures in thiophosphate electrolytes actively grow toward regions of higher porosity and are affected by heterogeneity in microstructure (e.g., porosity factor). This report provides fundamental design guidelines for high-performance solid-state batteries.

Understanding the optoelectronic properties of doped 2D organic-inorganic halide perovskite quantum wells: towards efficient quantum well IR photodetectors

Metal halide perovskite (MHP) multiple quantum wells which consist of multilayers of alternate organic and inorganic layers exhibit large exciton binding energies due to the dielectric confinement between the inorganic and organic layers. These naturally formed multiple quantum wells have strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) due to the presence of heavy elements in their crystal structures. Although the fundamental properties of 2D MHPs are far from being entirely understood, it is widely accepted that their band edge absorption coefficient results from strong exciton interactions. However, studies demonstrating how different exciton interactions and doping effects influence electronic traps and disorder on the band edge absorption coefficient of 2D MHPs have not been demonstrated. Understanding these interactions in MHPs will allow us to access low energy optical transitions for the fabrication of solution processable short-to-mid-wavelength IR photodetectors (1 – 8 μm). Moreover, upon doping, it is possible to move the Fermi energy into the conduction band (CB) to favorably promote the transport of charges in a working device. Herein, we study the development of 2D MHPs having strong SOC, high carrier mobility, and tunable quantum well structures. Our studies shed light on the design and modulation of fundamental physical phenomena by carefully elucidating the role of dopants (n-type and p-type), exciton heterogeneity, orientation, structure, and bias stress effects on the performance of MHPs as potential IR photodetectors.

A study of the effects of solid phase reactions on the thermal degradation and ballistic properties of solid propellants

The thermal stability of perchlorate composite propellants was studied at 135 and 170 C. The experimental efforts were concentrated on determining the importance of heterogeneous oxidizer-fuel reactions in the thermal degradation process. The experimental approach used to elucidate the mechanisms by which the oxidizer fuel composites thermally degrade was divided into two parts: (1) keeping the fuel constant and varying the nature of the oxidizers, and (2) holding the oxidizer constant and varying the fuel components. The fuel component primarily utilized in the first phase was polyethylene. Oxidizers included KClO4, KClO3, NH4ClO4 and NH4ClO4 doped with materials such as chlorate, phosphate and arsenate. In the second phase the oxidizer used was primarily NH4ClO4 while the fuels included saturated and unsaturated polybutadiene prepolymers and a series of bonding agents. Techniques employed in the current study include thermogravimetric measurements, differential thermal analysis, infrared, mass spectrometry, electron microscopy, and appropriate wet chemical analysis.

Construction of Boron‐ and Nitrogen‐Enriched Nanoporous π‐Conjugated Networks Towards Enhanced Hydrogen Activation

Abstract Boron‐enriched scaffolds have demonstrated unique features and promising performance in the field of catalysis towards the activation of small gas molecules. However, there is still a lack of facile approaches capable of achieving high B doping and abundant porous channels in the targeted catalysts. Herein, construction of boron‐ and nitrogen‐enriched nanoporous π‐conjugated networks (BN‐NCNs) was achieved via a facile ionothermal polymerization procedure with hexaazatriphenylenehexacarbonitrile [HAT(CN) 6 ] sodium borohydride as the starting materials. The as‐produced BN‐NCN scaffolds were featured by high heteroatoms doping (B up to 23 wt. % and N: up to 17 wt. %) and permanent porosity (surface area up to 759 m 2 g −1 mainly contributed by micropores). With the unsaturated bonded B species acting as the active Lewis acid sites and defected N species acting as the active Lewis base sites, those BN‐NCNs delivered attractive catalytic performance towards H 2 activation/dissociation in both gaseous and liquid phase, acting as efficient metal‐free heterogeneous frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) catalysts in hydrogenation procedures.

Photoelectrochemical alcohol oxidation by mixed-linker metal–organic frameworks

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) provide a suitable platform for stable and efficient heterogeneous photoelectrochemical oxidation catalysis due to their highly ordered structure, large surface area, and synthetic tunability. Herein, a mixed-linker MOF comprising of a photosensitizer [Ru(dcbpy)(bpy) 2 ] 2+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, dcbpy = 5,5'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine) and catalyst [Ru(tpy)(dcbpy)Cl] + (tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) that were incorporated into the UiO-67 framework and grown as thin films on a TiO 2 -coated, fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode (RuB-RuTB-UiO-67/TiO 2 /FTO). When used as an electrode for the photoelectrochemical oxidation of benzyl alcohol, the mixed-linker MOF film showed a faradaic efficiency of 34%, corresponding to a 3-fold increase in efficiency relative to the RuB-UiO-67/TiO 2 /FTO control. Furthermore, this increase in catalytic efficiency is ascribed to the activation of RuTB moieties via oxidation by photogenerated Ru III B. Transient absorption spectroscopy revealed the delayed appearance of Ru III TB* or Ru III TB formation, occurring with a lifetime of 21 ns, due to energy and/or electron transfer. The recovery kinetics of the charge separated state was increased (283 μs) in comparison to single-component control experiments (105 μs for RuB-UiO-67/TiO 2 /FTO and 7 μs for RuTB-UiO-67/TiO 2 /FTO) indicating a cooperative effect that could be exploited in chromophore/catalyst MOF motifs.
