Modeled Emission of Hydroxyl and Ozone Reactivity from Evaporation of Fragrance Mixtures

Volatile chemical products (VCPs) account for increasing fractions of organic carbon emitted to the atmosphere, particularly in urban areas. Fragrances are potentially reactive components that are added to many VCPs. To better constrain these emissions, 11 commercially available liquid fragrance mixtures were characterized for their composition and their evaporation modeled. Here, emissions of mass, hydroxyl reactivity, and ozone reactivity were estimated by modeling under four different scenarios. Fragrance compounds were generally less than one-half the mass of fragrance mixtures, with the balance comprised of solvents and plasticizers and unresolved mass thought to be dominated by plasticizers. The results showed that terpenes and terpenoids account for nearly all of the emitted mass and reactivity while only comprising ~10% w/w on average of the liquid fragrance mixtures. Most of the reactivity is emitted within hours, with ozone reactivity evolving more rapidly than OH reactivity and comprised almost entirely of terpenes. Limonene, a common fragrance constituent, dominates the reactivity of emitted carbon. Generally, 20–40% of the potential hydroxyl reactivity contained in the fragrance mixture does not evaporate on time scales sufficient to have an impact on local or regional air quality.

Encapsulating High–Temperature Superconducting Twisted van der Waals Heterostructures Blocks Detrimental Effects of Disorder

High-temperature cuprate superconductors based van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures hold high technological promise. One of the obstacles hindering their progress is the detrimental effect of disorder on the properties of the vdW-devices-based Josephson junctions (JJs). Here, a new method of fabricating twisted vdW heterostructures made of Bi 2 Sr 2 CuCa 2 O 8+δ , crucially improving the JJ characteristics and pushing them up to those of the intrinsic JJs in bulk samples, is reported. The method combines cryogenic stacking using a solvent-free stencil mask technique and covering the interface by insulating hexagonal boron nitride crystals. Despite the high-vacuum condition down to 10 –6 mbar in the evaporation chamber, the interface appears to be protected from water molecules during the in situ metal deposition only when fully encapsulated. Comparing the current-voltage curves of encapsulated and unencapsulated interfaces, it is revealed that the encapsulated interfaces' characteristics are crucially improved, so that the corresponding JJs demonstrate high critical currents and sharpness of the superconducting transition comparable to those of the intrinsic JJs. Finally, it is shown that the encapsulated heterostructures are more stable over time.

Advancing Continuous Manufacturing of Metal Organic Frameworks [Abstract]

InnaVenture has succeeded in developing a pilot-scale facility implementing a radically new concept for synthesis of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials based upon a patent-pending evaporative aerosolization-condensation process developed at PNNL. The successful synthesis of kilogram quantities of Ni-MOF-74 in InnaVenture’s facility represents a major step in the advancement of MOFs from being novelty materials to industrial adsorbents. Using this approach, fifteen kilograms of Ni-MOF-74 were synthesized for use in a demonstration adsorption chiller developed for the U.S. Navy. However, the evaporative condensation method for MOF synthesis has so far only been demonstrated for synthesizing MOFs under conditions where the reactants are part of a single homogeneous liquid phase solvent system. For InnaVenture to expand opportunities to support broader commercial applications of MOFs and related nanoporous materials (e.g., metal-aromatic frameworks (MAFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs)), extension of the method to heterogeneous mixed phase conditions is essential. Examples of commercially promising MOFs that require such synthesis conditions include but are not limited to MIL-101, MIL-88B, MIL-100, MOF-801, MIL-160, MOF-841, and many others. InnaVenture has also informed PNNL that they need to address problems with the low density of MOF particles being generated in their fluidized reactor system. The purpose of this effort is to address both of these challenges.

High Quantum Yield Sensitization of Single Crystal TiO 2 Electrodes with CsPbBr 3 Nanocrystals

Lead halide perovskites are promising materials for solar cells and photodetectors. Nanocrystals of this family of perovskites also have distinct properties. In this study we report the attainment of high quantum yield sensitized photocurrents from stabilized CsPbBr 3 perovskite nanocrystals thermally evaporated onto doped single crystal rutile (110) TiO 2 electrodes. Sensitized photocurrent stabilization was achieved by capping the nanocrystals with a thin NiO x layer and a Au carrier transport and protection layers respectively as well as the judicious choice of solvent and electrolyte.

Computational Methods for Modeling Electrospray Microdroplet Chemistry for Improved Quantitative Mass Spectrometry

This project aimed at enhancing the quantitative analysis capabilities of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) by developing advanced computational methods. The primary focus was to integrate continuum and molecular dynamics simulations to study the behavior of microdroplets in the ESI process, from formation to evaporation. Through this research, we sought to bridge significant length and time scales to provide a comprehensive understanding of how analyte concentrations evolve from bulk solutions into gas-phase ions. This understanding is crucial for addressing challenges such as ionization efficiency, solvent effects, and ion suppression, which currently limit the accuracy of quantitative ESI-MS.

Designing High‐Donicity Anions for Rechargeable Potassium Superoxide/Peroxide Batteries

Abstract A battery cathode based on the superoxide/peroxide redox not only inherits the advantage of oxygen (O 2 ) batteries in high capacities and low costs but also overcomes the disadvantages in O 2 storage, electrolyte evaporation, and anode deactivation due to O 2 crossover. Herein, we report an enhanced potassium superoxide (KO 2 )/peroxide (K 2 O 2 ) conversion by adopting a high‐donicity anion additive in the ether‐based electrolyte. Such an anion was synthesized via a “Solvent‐in‐Anion” strategy and validated to enhance the electron donicity of the electrolyte. The use of high‐donicity anion could lead to enhanced KO 2 utilization (≈90.2 %) by retarding electrode passivation and allow the full charging back of K 2 O 2 through the solution‐mediated pathway without electrocatalysts. No apparent cell degradation is observed during the first 120 cycles by controlling the reversible depth‐of‐discharge capacity at 292 mAh g −1 within an O 2 ‐free region. The K−KO 2 cell delivers a high energy efficiency (>84.4 %) and a lifespan of over 1440 hours.

Effect of Evaporation on Vapor Space Flammability in DWPF Process Vessels - 20278

The Savannah River Site (SRS) Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) processes liquid high-level waste (HLW) and encapsulates it in glass within stainless-steel containers suitable for safe, long-term storage and disposal. Radiolytic and chemical decomposition of the liquid waste generates hydrogen and other flammable gases creating a hazard. The rate of flammable gas generation increases by an order of magnitude as temperature increases from sub-boiling to boiling. DWPF controls this hazard in process tanks by ensuring a minimum purge flow through each tank's head space. The minimum purge flow rate is established assuming dry air and neglecting evaporation. However, this study determined that steam from boiling in a representative process tank is sufficient to dilute flammable gases and, thereby, preclude flammability. For sub-boiling, water vapor is an insufficient diluent considering hydrogen's lower flammable limit (LFL) in air. However, the upper and lower flammable limits approach each other in a hydrogen-air-water-vapor environment as the water vapor concentration increases. This effect may preclude flammable conditions if water vapor concentration is about 60 volume percent or higher. A saturated, constant-pressure air-water system would achieve 60 volume percent water vapor at 86 deg. C. (authors)

Urban mining by flash Joule heating

Abstract Precious metal recovery from electronic waste, termed urban mining, is important for a circular economy. Present methods for urban mining, mainly smelting and leaching, suffer from lengthy purification processes and negative environmental impacts. Here, a solvent-free and sustainable process by flash Joule heating is disclosed to recover precious metals and remove hazardous heavy metals in electronic waste within one second. The sample temperature ramps to ~3400 K in milliseconds by the ultrafast electrical thermal process. Such a high temperature enables the evaporative separation of precious metals from the supporting matrices, with the recovery yields >80% for Rh, Pd, Ag, and >60% for Au. The heavy metals in electronic waste, some of which are highly toxic including Cr, As, Cd, Hg, and Pb, are also removed, leaving a final waste with minimal metal content, acceptable even for agriculture soil levels. Urban mining by flash Joule heating would be 80× to 500× less energy consumptive than using traditional smelting furnaces for metal-component recovery and more environmentally friendly.

Crystal structures of polymerized lithium chloride and dimethyl sulfoxide in the form of {2LiCl·3DMSO} n and {LiCl·DMSO} n

Two novel LiCl·DMSO polymer structures were created by combining dry LiCl salt with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), namely, catena-poly[[chloridolithium(I)]-μ-(dimethyl sulfoxide)-κ 2 O:O-[chloridolithium(I)]-di-μ-(dimethyl sulfoxide)-κ 4 O:O], [Li 2 Cl 2 (C 2 H 6 OS) 3 ]n, and catena-poly[lithium(I)-μ-chlorido-μ-(dimethyl sulfoxide)-κ 2 O:O], [LiCl(C 2 H 6 OS)]n. The initial synthesized phase had very small block-shaped crystals (<0.08 mm) with monoclinic symmetry and a 2 LiCl: 3 DMSO ratio. As the solution evaporated, a second phase formed with a plate-shaped crystal morphology. After about 20 minutes, large (>0.20 mm) octahedron-shaped crystals formed. The plate crystals and the octahedron crystals are the same tetragonal structure with a 1 LiCl: 1 DMSO ratio. These structures are reported and compared to other known LiCl·solvent compounds.

Modeling Solution Drying by Moving a Liquid-Vapor Interface: Method and Applications

A method of simulating the drying process of a soft matter solution with an implicit solvent model by moving the liquid-vapor interface is applied to various solution films and droplets. For a solution of a polymer and nanoparticles, we observe “polymer-on-top” stratification, similar to that found previously with an explicit solvent model. Furthermore, “polymer-on-top” is found even when the nanoparticle size is smaller than the radius of gyration of the polymer chains. For a suspension droplet of a bidisperse mixture of nanoparticles, we show that core-shell clusters of nanoparticles can be obtained via the “small-on-outside” stratification mechanism at fast evaporation rates. “Large-on-outside” stratification and uniform particle distribution are also observed when the evaporation rate is reduced. Polymeric particles with various morphologies, including Janus spheres, core-shell particles, and patchy particles, are produced from drying droplets of polymer solutions by combining fast evaporation with a controlled interaction between the polymers and the liquid-vapor interface. Our results validate the applicability of the moving interface method to a wide range of drying systems. The limitations of the method are pointed out and cautions are provided to potential practitioners on cases where the method might fail.

Abstract for CRADA between Capture6 CORP and NETL

The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and Capture6 CORP (Participant) will collaborate to refine Capture6’s transformative air contactor design for optimal direct air capture (DAC) under an awarded project from the Department of Energy’s Direct Air Capture Pre-Commercialization Technology Prize. Current cooling tower designs require exponentially more resources as the concentration of CO 2 in the gas phase decreases, resulting in a low conversion rate of carbonates, a large physical footprint, and high evaporation of water, which consequently limits the energy and water benefits that a DAC process can create. Capture6’s innovative tower design AURA (Absorption Unit Reactor for Ambient air) seeks to improve the mass transfer characteristics of legacy cooling towers and reduces total energy demand by: (1) introducing laminar and turbulent flow to increase mass transfer, (2) generating a solvent gradient to improve CO 2 absorption, (3) leveraging venturi and packed towers to increase the surface for the mass-transfer process, (4) adding charged/cool plates to reduce overall water loss in the system, and (5) utilizing surfactant additives to increase mass transfer. The collaboration will facilitate the deployment of technologies that reduce the total energy required and carbon footprint of solvent-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. The anticipated results support NETL’s goal of fostering rapid development and commercialization pathways for technologies that remove CO 2 from the atmosphere.

Computational fluid dynamics modeling and analysis of silica nanoparticle synthesis in a flame spray pyrolysis reactor

Flame Spray Pyrolysis (FSP) is a method for large-scale production of nanoparticles and nanoscale powders employed in a wide range of industrial applications. Particle size and morphology are complex functions of the physicochemical phenomena occurring in the FSP reactor. An extensive study of FSP-related phenomena can be utilized to develop effective strategies for achieving desired particle size/morphology and scaling up the overall yield of an FSP system. In this work, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of an FSP reactor is developed to simulate the coupling of key phenomena involved in the particle synthesis process: liquid spray breakup and evaporation, mixing, combustion, and particle formation/growth of silica nanoparticles. Herein, the particle sizes and their distributions from the CFD simulations are validated against experimental data. Subsequently, the simulations are utilized to investigate the impact of process parameters on the resultant flame dynamics and particle growth. Firstly, the CFD results show that the particle sizes are strongly correlated with the precursor concentration in the solvent. At lower precursor concentrations, the spread of the distribution is relatively insensitive to the value of the concentration. At higher concentrations, the spread is higher as the collision probability between particles is higher. Secondly, increasing the pilot flow rate increases the length of the pilot flames impacting the local ignition location of the spray flame. Lastly, it is shown that the dispersion gas flow rate strongly influences the spray flame shape. This shape can be used for control of particle growth as it helps determine the regions of high temperature and the residence time of the particles in the high temperature region enabling the design and process optimization of the FSP reactor.

Oxides and Nitrides with Asymmetric Pore Structure from Block Copolymer Co–Assembly and Non–Solvent Induced Phase Separation

Materials combining an asymmetric pore structure with mesopores everywhere enable high surface area accessibility and fast transport, making them attractive for e.g., energy conversion and storage applications. Block copolymer (BCP)/inorganic precursor co-assembly combined with non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) provides a route to materials in which a mesoporous top surface layer merges into an asymmetric support with graded porosity along the film normal and mesopores throughout. Here, the co-assembly and non-solvent-induced phase separation (CNIPS) of poly(isoprene)-b-poly(styrene)-b-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (ISV) triblock terpolymer and titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) sol-gel nanoparticlesare reported. Heat-treatment in air results in free-standing asymmetric porous TiO 2 . Further thermal processing in ammonia results in free-standing asymmetric porous titanium nitride (TiN). processing changes alter structural membrane characteristics is demonstrated. Changing the CNIPS evaporation time results in various membrane cross-sections ( finger-like to sponge-like). Further, oxide and nitride material composition, crystallinity, and porosity are tuned by varying thermal processing conditions. Finally, thermal processing condition effects are probed on phase-pure asymmetric nitride membrane behavior using cyclic voltammetry to elucidate their influence, e.g., on specific capacitance. Results provide further insights into improving asymmetric and porous materials for applications including energy conversion and storage, separation, and catalysis and motivate a further expansion of CNIPS to other (in)organic materials.

Retrofitting Holcim Ste. Genevieve Cement Plant with CO2 Capture Plant Using Air Liquide Cryocap™ FG Technology

The global cement manufacturing industry is a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions. The International Energy Agency's "Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario" identifies CCS as a major strategy for meeting that goal. This project is among the first attempts to transfer capture technology developed at coal-fired power plants to the cement industry. The main objective of the project is to execute and complete a front-end engineering and design (FEED) studies for commercial-scale, carbon capture projects that separates 95% of the total CO2 emissions at the Holcim (US) Ste. Genevieve cement manufacturing facility using Air Liquide’s Pressure Swing Adsorption system (PSA) assisted Cryocap™ technology. The Holcim Ste. Genevieve cement plant in Missouri, US, boasts one of the largest single cement production lines in the world, with a capacity of approximately 12,000 t/day. The plant currently uses traditional fuels, namely coal and petcoke. The captured CO2 will be pipeline and geological storage grade. The industrial host site emits approximately 3.0 million tonne CO2/yr. Air Liquide’s Cryocap™ technology has been developed over the last 18+ years for CO2 capture applications. It has been shown to be applicable to a variety of industrial applications (e.g., steel, cement, SMR, Fluidized Catalytic Crackers (FCCs)). Cryocap™ FG consists of a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) unit coupled with a Cryogenic System. The PSA pre-concentrates the CO2 from the flue gas, while the cryogenic unit enables the CO2 purity to be increased to the desired level. The project team is led by the Prairie Research Institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The tasks include: complete FEED study for retrofitting the industrial facility with a carbon capture system to support developing a detailed cost estimate; business case analysis outlining the anticipated revenue and credits if projects was built and operated; technoeconomic analysis (TEA) outlining how capture system achieves DOE capture goals; and life cycle (LCA) analysis demonstrating zero net carbon emissions. The FEED study was successfully completed. This includes completing the process basis of design; preliminary engineering; outside battery limits (OSBL) detailed engineering including a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) wastewater treatment system; inside battery limits (ISBL) detailed engineering [1]. An overall project capital cost estimate within a -20%/+30% accuracy was developed. The major contributors to the Total Plant Cost (TPC), by system, are the costs associated with the Outside Battery Limit (OSBL) section of the plant which includes a new river water intake structure and a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system. By cost category, the major contributors to the TPC are equipment and subcontractor costs, followed closely by engineering, construction management, home office and contractor fees. The TEA has been created to reflect the findings of the project. It analyzes the economic performance of the Cryocap™ technology by reviewing the estimated capital costs, operating cost, and revenue. The Cost of Capture (COC) associated with the Cryocap™ technology for 95% CO2 capture, when considering NETL 2018 economic assumptions (42/58 debt/equity ratio, 5.15% interest on debt and 1.42% return on equity in real dollars) and 2022 economic assumptions (42/58 debt/equity ratio, 8.82% interest on debt and 4.90% return on equity in real dollars) was found to be much lower than that for the DOE-NETL’s base-line cases. The highest contributors to the COC are annualized capital expenditures (CAPEX) and electricity consumption which can be offset by using lower cost renewable sources. The LCA was conducted using OpenLCA which is an open-source software that is recommended by NETL. The database utilized for this study was a modified version of TRACI 2.1 (developed by the US. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Risk Management Research Laboratory and modified by NETL). The Cryocap™ FG technology does not consume fuels in significant quantities and does not utilize specialized chemical solvents subject to decomposition, such as those utilized in amine-based carbon capture systems. The Cryocap™ FG technology mainly utilizes electricity as its energy input; hence, its calculated emissions are mainly associated with the generation of electricity offsite and are dependent on the energy matrix of the grid at the time of project implementation. The water consumption impact of the Cryocap™ FG is mostly for makeup of the water lost by evaporation in the cooling tower; however, the carbon capture plant will be equipped with a ZLD system to avoid effluent streams and minimize water consumption. The successful construction and operation of this plant based on this study results will provide a means to demonstrate an economically attractive and transformational capture technology that can be used to retrofit existing plants and be deployed at new plants.

Orientational Order in Spin-Cast Lead-Iodide Perovskite Nanocrystal Solids

Combined synthetic control over size and composition renders colloidal lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals a tunable platform for high-efficiency optoelectronic applications. However, the properties and operational stability of devices based on nanocrystal solids are often dictated by the method of the evaporation-induced assembly. Ubiquitous slow evaporation techniques can produce highly ordered nanocrystal domains but limit the prospects for scalable fabrication of continuous device layers, calling for investigation of approaches to more rapidly form ordered perovskite nanocrystal solids. Here, we study orientationally ordered lead-iodide perovskite nanocrystal solids prepared by conventional spin coating with molecular additives (excess ligand) to enhance ordering within the arrays. In situ X-ray scattering measurements reveal that orientational ordering occurs rapidly upon solvent removal during spin coating and can be further enhanced by manipulating the spin speed. We vary the additive ligand length and explore trade-offs between ordering and layered perovskite impurity formation. Arrays treated with the intermediate-length octylamine ligand exhibit increased in-plane electronic conductivity, suggesting orientational ordering and internanocrystal electronic coupling can be enhanced by the treatment. In conclusion, these results highlight the prospects of establishing long-range order in lead-halide perovskite nanocrystal solids by using simple and fast coating methods.

Solution-based electrical doping of organic photovoltaics with non-fullerene acceptors facilitated by solvent vapor pre-treatment

Solution-based electrical doping of organic semiconductors using 12-molybdophosphoric acid (PMA) hydrate has been shown to allow p-type doping of conjugated polymers over a limited depth from the surface, enabling the fabrication of organic solar cells with a simplified device architecture. However, the doping level of certain conjugated polymers using PMA was found to be limited by the polymer film volume. Here, we report a modified PMA doping technique based on film volume expansion that is applicable to device fabrication, leading to hole-collecting layer-free non-fullerene organic photovoltaic devices, which exhibit a comparable photovoltaic performance to those with a commonly evaporated MoO3 hole-collecting layer.

Lignin molecular weights of Populus trichocarpa residues after CELF pretreatment

Here we present a dataset of molecular weights of lignin from a woody energy crop (Populus trichocarpa) residues after a series of co-solvent enhanced lignocellulosic fractionation (CELF) pretreatment. The natural poplar variant GW-9947 from the Center for Bioenergy Innovation (CBI) was used. The poplar was knife milled and passed through a 1 mm sieve and CELF pretreatment was performed in a Parr autoclave reactor with 7.5 wt % solids loading, 0.5 wt% H2SO4 as catalyst at 150°C with various time. Tetrahydrofuran was added in a 1:1 mass ratio with water as the pretreatment solvent. Lignin was isolated from the pretreated samples after ball-milling in a porcelain jar with ceramic balls via Retsch PM 200 at 580 rpm for 2.5 h followed by enzymatic hydrolysis in acetate buffer (pH 4.8, 50 °C) for 48 h. The solid residue was isolated by centrifugation and hydrolyzed again with freshly added buffer and enzymes for another 48 h. After filtration, the solid residue was extracted twice with 96% (v/v) 1,4-dioxane/water mixture at room temperature overnight. The extracts were combined, rotary evaporated, and freeze-dried to recover lignin. The lignin samples were then derivatized in an acetic anhydride/pyridine (1:1, v/v) mixture and stirred at room temperature for 24 h. Ethanol was added to the reaction mixture, left for 30 min and then removed with a rotary evaporator. The addition and removal of ethanol was repeated at least 3 times until all traces of acetic acid were removed. Acetylated lignin samples were then dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at a concentration of 1.0 mg/mL. The molecular weight of acetylated lignin was measured by a gel permeation chromatography (GPC) on a PSS-Polymer Standards Service (Warwick, RI, USA) GPC SECurity 1200 system featuring Agilent HPLC 1200 components equipped with four Waters Styragel columns (HR1, HR2, HR4 and HR6) and an UV detector (270 nm). Tetrahydrofuran was used as the mobile phase and flow rate was 0.3 mL/min. The Polymer Standards Service WinGPC Unity software (Build 6807) was used for data processing for all the samples. The data provides information about the effects of CELF pretreatment time at 150 ºC on lignin molecular weights.
