Managing Cyber Supply Chain Risk for Renewable Energy Technologies

On July 1, 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) hosted a virtual workshop facilitated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Cybersecurity supply chain experts, researchers, and leaders in government and industry came together to share information on current and future challenges in securing emerging technologies and technical architecture. From a cybersecurity perspective, we need to move from a cybersecurity approach that focuses principally on legacy asset owners to one that incorporates more emphasis on end-point device manufacturers and third-party integrators. Cybersecurity for the global digital supply chain for manufacturers of consumer end-point devices—such as smart solar inverters and smart electric vehicle (EV) chargers—will be critical to the future cyber health of the grid.

Supramolecular Metal‐Organic Framework Electrocatalysts With Hydration‐Adaptive Gallery Expansion and Linker‐Mediated Distal Ni‐Co Cooperation Enable Framework‐Retentive Oxygen Evolution

Atomic‑level tailoring of electronic communication between spatially separated metal sites offers a route to accelerate multielectron electrocatalysis. We report Ni-TPTC, Co-TPTC, and heterobimetallic Ni-Co-TPTC supramolecular metal-organic frameworks (SMOFs) for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) built from a terphenyl‑tetracarboxylate (TPTC) linker. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction of heterobimetallic Ni–Co–TPTC reveals trans-bis-aqua octahedral chains assembled into a π-stacked, hydrogen-bonded lattice and confirms retention of the parent architecture, while powder X-ray diffraction supports an isostructural Co analog. In 1.0 M KOH, Ni-Co-TPTC reaches 20 mA cm −2 at 350 mV and maintains operation at ∼60 mA cm −2 for 45 h with modest decay of the initial current. Time‑dependent ex situ diffraction shows dominant framework reflections with low‑angle shifts consistent with gallery dilation (d‑spacing ∼7.7 → ∼9.2 Å) during early operation, while Co K‑edge X‑ray absorption and microscopy reveal Co‑rich oxide/oxyhydroxide‑like domains at longer times that correlate with decay. X‑ray photoelectron spectroscopy, quantified by the Remote Binding‑Energy Differential, tracks composition‑dependent Ni-Co polarization, and DFT free‑energy analysis suggests that a model Ni-Co environment lowers the Co‑centered potential‑limiting step by ∼0.24 eV relative to the Co‑only framework. Furthermore, these results suggest that framework‑retentive expansion and distal Ni-Co coupling can drive OER activity before gradual deligation and oxide formation mark longer‑time degradation.

Multimaterial 3D Printing in Activating Bath Enables In Situ Polymerization of Thermosets with Intricate Geometries and Diverse Elastic Behaviors

Polydicyclopentadiene, p(DCPD), is a high‐performance thermoset valued for its exceptional toughness, strength, and stiffness. When copolymerized with 1,5‐cyclooctadiene (COD), its mechanical properties can be tuned from glassy to rubbery at room temperature. While frontal polymerization enables a rapid and energy‐efficient route to 3D print DCPD‐based materials, challenges such as ink shelf life and gravitational distortion, especially in direct ink writing of soft COD‐rich formulations, must be considered. Here, a complementary chemical strategy is presented, embedded 3D printing, that enables localized in situ polymerization of printed DCPD/COD inks within a reactive support matrix. The matrix provides both physical support and a reservoir of chemical activator, which diffuses into the ink, activates a latent bis(N‐heterocyclic carbene) Ru precatalyst, and initiates ring‐opening metathesis polymerization. Curing begins at the ink–matrix interface and propagates inward via diffusion, stabilizing the interface and preventing capillary‐driven deformation regardless of the matrix yield stress. This approach eliminates the need for cold storage, external curing, or photoinitiation, significantly expanding the processing window. Using this method, diverse thermosetting and elastomeric architectures are fabricated with features as small as 5 µm and aspect ratios of 100, including interlinked chains, shallow spherical shells exhibiting snap‐through buckling, and hair‐like fin arrays inaccessible through traditional techniques.

Molecular Design Principles for Photosystem I-Based Biohybrid Solar Fuel Catalysts

Direct solar-to-chemical conversion offers a compelling route to clean, dispatchable energy. Photosystem I (PSI), an evolutionarily optimized light-driven oxidoreductase, can be repurposed for solar-fuel production by coupling its photochemistry to catalytic interfaces. However, the molecular determinants that govern productive electron transfer to abiotic catalysts remain poorly understood. Here, we present molecular structures of active PSI-Pt nanoparticle (PtNP) biohybrids that reveal how protein architecture controls catalyst access, binding geometry, and photocatalytic efficiency. Removal of stromal subunits exposes the electron transfer chain and enables PtNP binding proximal to the F X cluster, demonstrating that steric occlusion limits access to native acceptor regions in PSI. In contrast, in trimeric PSI, PtNPs bind at multiple sites per monomer, but only a subset are positioned within electron transfer distance of terminal cofactors, resulting in a heterogeneous population of productive and nonproductive configurations. Structural analyses and molecular dynamics simulations define the interface topology, electrostatics, and cofactor-to-nanoparticle distances that govern catalyst binding and electron transfer. These results establish that catalytic inefficiency arises not only from intrinsic electron transfer constraints but also from the distribution of binding geometries imposed by the protein scaffold. Together, these findings provide a molecular framework linking protein structure to biohybrid function and define design principles for engineering PSI-based solar fuel systems and protein-nanomaterial interfaces for light-driven catalysis.

Exhaustive Product Analysis of Three Benzene Discharges by Microwave Spectroscopy

Using chirped and cavity microwave spectroscopies, automated double resonance, new high-speed fitting and deep learning algorithms, and large databases of computed structures, the discharge products of benzene alone, or in combination with molecular oxygen or nitrogen, have been exhaustively characterized between 6.5 and 26 GHz. In total, more than 3300 spectral features were observed; 89% of these, accounting for 97% of the total intensity, have now been assigned to 152 distinct chemical species and 60 of their variants (i.e., isotopic species and vibrationally excited states). Roughly 50 of the products are entirely new or poorly characterized at high resolution, including many heavier by mass than the precursor benzene. These findings provide direct evidence for a rich architecture of two- and three-dimensional carbon and indicate that benzene growth, particularly the formation of ring–chain molecules, occurs facilely under our experimental conditions. The present analysis also illustrates the utility of microwave spectroscopy as a precision tool for complex mixture analysis, irrespective of whether the rotational spectrum of a product species is known a priori or not. From this large quantity of data, for example, it is possible to determine with confidence the relative abundances of different product masses, but more importantly the relative abundances of different isomers with the same mass. We review the complementary nature of this type of analysis to traditional mass spectrometry.

Tracking and Positioning System for Floating Solar (CRADA Abstract)

The project goal is to develop a floating solar photovoltaics (FPV) tracking & position system that: (1) increases annual energy production of FPV projects by >10%, (2) lowers levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for FPV by >10%, and (3) leverages U.S. contract supply chain & manufacturing. The outcome of the project will be a certified tracking product that has undergone extensive field testing and is ready for commercial sales. The primary objectives for each budget period are: • BP1: Define product requirements, develop initial controls architecture and design other sub-components, complete small-scale pilot testing, install a larger-scale pilot, secure sites for commercial pilots, and develop the beta-version of a user portal. • BP2: complete control system and sub-component design, successful demonstration and testing at a commercial pilot, certification & bankability, finalize user portal, and complete various commercialization activities related to supply chain, customer acquisition, and sales. PNNL will provide support during both project phases for prototype development and testing of the controls architecture, software, and hardware components of the tracking and positioning system. PNNL will provide support during both project phases for prototype development and testing of the controls architecture, software, and hardware components of the tracking and positioning system. This effort represents PNNL’s first opportunity to support the floating solar photovoltaics (FPV) industry with capabilities, facilities, and personnel developed to contribute to the marine energy (e.g., wave and tidal energy) sector. This portfolio expansion leverages internal and DOE EERE investments and the growing visibility of PNNL-Sequim’s Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory (MCRL) and our marine research capabilities, in general. The development of effective and low-cost FPV platforms is a potential way to increase the nation’s set of tools for providing emission-free electricity without utilizing valuable terrestrial resources. Successful commercialization of such a project may lead to economic benefits through job creation, supply chain creation, and access to a cheaper source of electricity.

Heterogeneous Reconstruction of Tracks and Primary Vertices With the CMS Pixel Tracker

The High-Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will see the accelerator reach an instantaneous luminosity of 7 × 10 34 cm −2 s −1 with an average pileup of 200 proton-proton collisions. These conditions will pose an unprecedented challenge to the online and offline reconstruction software developed by the experiments. The computational complexity will exceed by far the expected increase in processing power for conventional CPUs, demanding an alternative approach. Industry and High-Performance Computing (HPC) centers are successfully using heterogeneous computing platforms to achieve higher throughput and better energy efficiency by matching each job to the most appropriate architecture. In this paper we will describe the results of a heterogeneous implementation of pixel tracks and vertices reconstruction chain on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The framework has been designed and developed to be integrated in the CMS reconstruction software, CMSSW. The speed up achieved by leveraging GPUs allows for more complex algorithms to be executed, obtaining better physics output and a higher throughput.

Solution Structure and Scaling Laws of Cylindrical and Tapered Bottlebrush Polymers

Bottlebrush polymers are a unique class of macromolecular architectures with a plethora of potential industrial and pharmaceutical applications that critically depend on the bottlebrush shape and dimensions. Here, a systematic series of 12 cylindrical and 12 cone-shaped (tapered) bottlebrush polymers with poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PtBA) or polystyrene (PS) side chains were synthesized using the sequential addition of macromonomers ring-opening metathesis polymerization (SAM-ROMP) grafting-through method. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) studies on dilute solutions of the two types of bottlebrush polymers provided noninvasive characterization of their structural dimensions and chain conformations. Simulated SANS traces, generated using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, reproduced the distinctive features observed in the experimental SANS signals and provided necessary validation for data modeling. The combined analysis of experimental and simulated SANS signals yielded key structural and conformational parameters, including the bottlebrush radius, length, and Kuhn length as well as the excluded volume parameter and the correlation length of the polymer side chains. Importantly, the obtained structural parameters followed well-defined scaling laws as a function of the backbone and side chain degrees of polymerization, as predicted by mean field theories. In conclusion, these findings provide clear experimental and computational evidence of the interdependence of structural and conformational properties in an important class of polymer architectures.

Phenylene-linked tetrapyrrole arrays containing free base and diverse metal chelate forms – Versatile synthetic architectures for catalysis and artificial photosynthesis

Tetrapyrrole macrocycles are central to photosynthesis yet a single macrocycle does not carry out photosynthesis; rather, assemblies of tetrapyrrole macrocycles work in concert in antenna complexes, reaction centers, and electron-transport chains to harvest sunlight, funnel excited-state energy and separate charge for biological use. A longstanding theme in artificial photosynthesis has been to construct covalently linked “arrays” of metalated and free base tetrapyrrole macrocycles for fundamental studies of such processes, which entail excited-state and ground-state interactions. Among linkers in arrays chemistry, the 1,2-, 1,3-, or 1,4-disubstituted phenylene unit has proved very attractive owing to the resulting short distance, defined architecture, and appropriate extent of electronic coupling of adjacent macrocycles to give rapid electron and/or energy transfer while largely retaining desired spectral features. Eight distinct strategies to construct phenylene-linked tetrapyrrole arrays are identified in a review with comprehensive coverage since inception in the early 1970s through mid-year 2021. The arrays predominantly incorporate porphyrins with very few chlorins and bacteriochlorins, reflecting historic availability of synthetic methods for macrocycle formation. Of the eight strategies, only two appear applicable to (bacterio)chlorins. While studies in artificial photosynthesis have largely fueled this field, applications in catalysis have also been examined. Altogether >400 arrays are covered. The review delves into synthesis and molecular design, sketches photophysical properties, and suggests unrealized opportunities in arrays chemistry.

Synthesis and Self-Assembly of Monodisperse Graphene Nanoribbons: Access to Submicron Architectures with Long-Range Order and Uniform Orientation

Fabricating organic semiconducting materials into large-scale well-organized architectures is critical for building high performance molecular electronics. While graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) hold enormous promise for various device applications, their assembly into a well-structured monolayer or multilayer architecture poses a substantial challenge. Here we report the preparation of length-defined monodisperse GNRs via the integrated iterative binomial synthesis (IIBS) strategy and their self-assembly into submicron-architectures with long-range order, uniform orientation as well as regular layers. Further, the use of short alkyl side chains benefits forming stable multi-layers through interlocking structures. By changing the length and backbone shapes of these monodisperse GNRs, various three-dimensional assemblies including multilayer stripes, monolayer stripes, and nanowires, can be achieved, leading to different photophysical properties and band gaps. The discovery of these intriguing self-assembly behaviors of length-defined GNRs is expected to open the door for various future applications.

Cybersecurity Standards for Photovoltaic Operations

Solar energy plays an important role in securing a more resilient, cyber-secure electrical grid in Pennsylvania. Solar's ability to be widely "distributed" on residential and large roofs, marginal lands, and many other locations across Pennsylvania - as opposed to being centralized - offers a strong option for addressing the myriad of potential disruptions that can occur to the grid's infrastructure. And when combined with energy storage, local energy needs can be met immediately without having to wait on the delivery of an off-site fuel source. As more and more distributed solar electricity generation is brought online, researchers, technology developers, solar developers and grid operators are paying close attention to the potential for solar to enhance grid cybersecurity. Although nobody may know when, where, or how the next cyberattack will take place, there are security measures, technical solutions, and management practices that are being implemented across the industry to protect against network control issues and grid operations. Everyone participating in the solar value chain stands to gain from a coordinated, iterative approach to protect against cyber vulnerabilities and build deeper resilience into the architecture of our grid.

Characterizing the Self-Assembly Properties of Monoolein Lipid Isosteres

Living cells feature lipid compartments which exhibit a variety of shapes and structures that assist essential cellular processes. Many natural cell compartments frequently adopt convoluted nonlamellar lipid architectures that facilitate specific biological reactions. Improved methods for controlling the structural organization of artificial model membranes would facilitate investigations into how membrane morphology affects biological functions. Monoolein (MO) is a single-chain amphiphile which forms nonlamellar lipid phases in aqueous solution and has wide applications in nanomaterial development, the food industry, drug delivery, and protein crystallization. However, even if MO has been extensively studied, simple isosteres of MO, while readily accessible, have seen limited characterization. An improved understanding of how relatively minor changes in lipid chemical structure affect self assembly and membrane topology could instruct the construction of artificial cells and organelles for modeling biological structures and facilitate nanomaterial-based applications. Here, we investigate the differences in self-assembly and large-scale organization between MO and two MO lipid isosteres. We show that replacing the ester linkage between the hydrophilic headgroup and hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain with a thioesther or amide functional group results in the assembly of lipid structures with different phases not resembling those formed by MO. Using light and cryo-electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, and infrared spectroscopy, we demonstrate differences in the molecular ordering and large-scale architectures of the self-assembled structures made from MO and its isosteric analogues. These results improve our understanding of the molecular underpinnings of lipid mesophase assembly and may facilitate the development of MO-based materials for biomedicine and as model lipid compartments.

Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals Complex Genetic Architecture of Cadmium and Mercury Accumulation and Tolerance Traits in Medicago truncatula

Heavy metals are an increasing problem due to contamination from human sources that and can enter the food chain by being taken up by plants. Understanding the genetic basis of accumulation and tolerance in plants is important for reducing the uptake of toxic metals in crops and crop relatives, as well as for removing heavy metals from soils by means of phytoremediation. Following exposure of Medicago truncatula seedlings to cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg), we conducted a genome-wide association study using relative root growth (RRG) and leaf accumulation measurements. Cd and Hg accumulation and RRG had heritability ranging 0.44 – 0.72 indicating high genetic diversity for these traits. The Cd and Hg trait associations were broadly distributed throughout the genome, indicated the traits are polygenic and involve several quantitative loci. For all traits, candidate genes included several membrane associated ATP-binding cassette transporters, P-type ATPase transporters, oxidative stress response genes, and stress related UDP-glycosyltransferases. The P-type ATPase transporters and ATP-binding cassette protein-families have roles in vacuole transport of heavy metals, and our findings support their wide use in physiological plant responses to heavy metals and abiotic stresses. We also found associations between Cd RRG with the genes CAX3 and PDR3, two linked adjacent genes, and leaf accumulation of Hg associated with the genes NRAMP6 and CAX9. When plant genotypes with the most extreme phenotypes were compared, we found significant divergence in genomic regions using population genomics methods that contained metal transport and stress response gene ontologies. Several of these genomic regions show high linkage disequilibrium (LD) among candidate genes suggesting they have evolved together. Minor allele frequency (MAF) and effect size of the most significant SNPs was negatively correlated with large effect alleles being most rare. This is consistent with purifying selection against alleles that increase toxicity and abiotic stress. Conversely, the alleles with large affect that had higher frequencies that were associated with the exclusion of Cd and Hg. Overall, macroevolutionary conservation of heavy metal and stress response genes is important for improvement of forage crops by harnessing wild genetic variants in gene banks such as the Medicago HapMap collection.

Topological Frustration as a New Parameter to Tune Morphology Revealed through Exploring the Continuum between A-B-C 3-Arm Star and Linear Triblock Polymers

Block polymers assemble into a variety of phase-separated morphologies based on volume fraction (φ) and interactions (χ) of the respective blocks. The arrangement of three different polymer blocks could either be a 3-arm star, with each block having one terminus attached to a common junction point or a linear A-B-C architecture. A versatile strategy is reported to synthesize a series of well-defined graft polymers that lie along the unexplored continuum between a 3-arm star and an A-B-C linear triblock polymer architecture. Using the technique of single-molecule insertion, precise control over the position of graft arm C along the B chain was achieved. A series of discrete graft polymers (PMMA-b-PS-g-PEO) with fixed φ and prescribed ω values that lie on the continuum between a 3-arm star (ω = 0) and linear triblock polymer (ω = 1) were synthesized. Morphological studies using small-angle X-ray scattering and conventional and energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy reveal the transition between lamellae, perforated lamellae, and cylindrical morphologies with systematic variation in the ω values, a trend attributed to the topological frustration and the associated χ values between the three blocks. Molecular dynamic simulations of coarse-grained models were found to predict phase diagrams that are consistent with the experimentally observed morphologies. Furthermore, our results suggest that changes in ω lead to topological frustration which is an important additional new design parameter that can be used to tune the morphology of multiblock polymers in addition to φ and χ.

Crystalline-symmetry-protected Majorana modes in coupled quantum dots

We propose a minimalist architecture for achieving various crystalline-symmetry-protected Majorana modes in an array of coupled quantum dots. Our framework is motivated by the recent experimental demonstrations of two-site and three-site artificial Kitaev chains in a similar setup. We find that introducing a π-phase domain wall in the Kitaev chain leads to a pair of mirror-protected Majorana zero modes located at or near the junction. Joining two π junctions into a closed loop, we can simulate two distinct classes of two-dimensional higher-order topological superconducting phases, both carrying symmetry-protected Majorana modes around the sample corners. As an extension of the π junction, we further consider a general vertex structure where n Kitaev chains meet, i.e., a Kitaev n vertex. We prove that such an n vertex, if respecting a dihedral symmetry group D n , necessarily carries n vertex-bound Majorana modes protected by the D n symmetry. Resilience of the junction and vertex Majorana bound states against disorder and correlation effects is also discussed. Our architecture paves the way for designing, constructing, and exploring a wide variety of artificial topological crystalline phases in quantum-dot experiments.

Understanding the origin of softness in structurally tailored and engineered macromolecular (STEM) gels: A DPD study

Structurally tailored and engineered macromolecular (STEM) gels are polymer networks containing a primary network (the “STEM-0” gel) and side chains that are anchored to this network (forming the “STEM-1” gel). The ability to vary the features of the side chains provides a robust means of tailoring the macroscopic properties of the material. We use dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations to determine the mechanical response of STEM-1 gels to uniaxial compression for various values of the side chain length, n sc . While the Young’s modulus of the material is significantly decreased with increasing n sc (at a fixed density of grafted side chains), above a certain saturation value, increasing n sc does not lead to any further softening of the sample. Using the simulations, we calculate the relevant stresses, which are related to the Young’s modulus and the number of entanglements in the network. We show that the backbone chains become more spread out upon addition of sidechains, leading to a decrease in the physical entanglements between backbone segments. This observation accounts for the decrease of stress in the backbone network and the softening of the networks through the addition of sidechains. For long chains, however, the number density of physical crosslinks between side chains is independent of side chain length; this observation explains the observed stress saturation in the STEM-1 gels. Our approach allows us to correlate the molecular architecture of the gels to the resultant macroscopic mechanical behavior and provide guidelines for fabricating STEM gels with well-defined mechanical properties, which allow the materials to be used for a variety of applications.

Hierarchical Materials from High Information Content Macromolecular Building Blocks: Construction, Dynamic Interventions, and Prediction

Hierarchical materials that exhibit order over multiple length scales are ubiquitous in nature. Because hierarchy gives rise to unique properties and functions, many have sought inspiration from nature when designing and fabricating hierarchical matter. More and more, however, nature’s own high-information content building blocks, proteins, peptides, and peptidomimetics, are being coopted to build hierarchy because the information that determines structure, function, and interfacial interactions can be readily encoded in these versatile macromolecules. Here, we take stock of recent progress in the rational design and characterization of hierarchical materials produced from high-information content blocks with a focus on stimuli-responsive and “smart” architectures. We also review advances in the use of computational simulations and data-driven predictions to shed light on how the side chain chemistry and conformational flexibility of macromolecular blocks drive the emergence of order and the acquisition of hierarchy and also on how ionic, solvent, and surface effects influence the outcomes of assembly. Furthermore, continued progress in the above areas will ultimately usher in an era where an understanding of designed interactions, surface effects, and solution conditions can be harnessed to achieve predictive materials synthesis across scale and drive emergent phenomena in the self-assembly and reconfiguration of high-information content building blocks.
