Sizing of discontinuous natural fibers: Effect of sizing approach and sizing concentration on composite properties

Natural fiber reinforced composites (NFRCs) are gaining attention in automotive applications as an alternative to glass fiber composites due to their lightweight and renewable sourcing. However, the inherent hydrophilicity of natural fibers leads to poor compatibility with hydrophobic polymers which adversely affects the mechanical properties of the composites and can limit their application to non-structural parts. Sizing is a common approach used for synthetic fibers to improve the interface between fiber and matrix. However, there is limited study on the sizing of natural fibers, and hence the focus of this work. Here, in this study, two different approaches to sizing discontinuous coir fibers were investigated, namely; (1) ex-situ sizing and (2) in-situ sizing. A commercial polypropylene (PP) based sizing agent was used and the effects of varying sizing solution concentrations (1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 wt%) on the properties of the composites was studied. Results showed that composites prepared via the in-situ sizing process had better fiber–matrix adhesion and improved tensile properties compared to ex-situ sized composites. On studying the effect of different sizing concentrations on composite properties, we found that the tensile strength of the composites increased (by ∼ 42 %) up to 2.5 wt% sizing concentration (in solution) and then decreased. However, the impact strength decreased significantly on increasing the sizing content beyond 1.5 wt% (by ∼ 40 %). Additionally, the study was further extended to investigate the effect of sizing on different NFRCs (coir, banana, and cottonized hemp fiber) where effectiveness of sizing was found to be influenced by the fiber surface morphology.

In Situ Characterization of Interface Evolution in Argyrodite‐Based All‐Solid‐State Li Batteries

Interfacial stability is one of the critical challenges in all-solid-state Li metal batteries. Multiple processes such as solid electrolyte (SE) decomposition and lithium dendrite growth take place at the solid interfaces during cycling, leading to the overall cell failure. To deconvolute these complex processes, in situ characterization is of paramount importance to elucidate the interfacial evolution on the SE upon Li plating/stripping. Herein, an all-solid-state asymmetric in situ cell is developed that allows the direct visualization of the highly localized Li plating/stripping processes under the optical microscope. Moreover, this cell configuration enables reliable post-mortem chemical and morphological analysis of the intact SE/Li interface. Using combined scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, the study reveals that the evolution of the Li argyrodite interface is strongly influenced by the current density, particularly in terms of chemical distribution and Li plating morphology. More specifically, the solid interface is LiCl-rich with the formation of Li cubes at low current densities, while high currents result in more uniform elemental distribution and filament morphology. These findings elucidate the dynamic evolution mechanism at solid interfaces and offer valuable guidance for developing stable solid interfaces in all-solid-state Li metal batteries.

The In Situ Ion Irradiation Toolbox: Time-Resolved Structure and Property Measurements

Abstract The dynamic interactions of ions with matter drive a host of complex evolution mechanisms, requiring monitoring on short spatial and temporal scales to gain a full picture of a material response. Understanding the evolution of materials under ion irradiation and displacement damage is vital for many fields, including semiconductor processing, nuclear reactors, and space systems. Despite materials in service having a dynamic response to radiation damage, typical characterization is performed post-irradiation, washing out all information from transient processes. Characterizing active processes in situ during irradiation allows the mechanisms at play during the dynamic ion-material interaction process to be deciphered. In this review, we examine the in situ characterization techniques utilized for examining material structure, composition, and property evolution under ion irradiation. Covering analyses of microstructure, surface composition, and material properties, this work offers a perspective on the recent advances in methods for in situ monitoring of materials under ion irradiation, including a future outlook examining the role of complementary and combined characterization techniques in understanding dynamic materials evolution.

Hierarchical Galloaluminosilicate MFI Catalysts for Ethane Nonoxidative Dehydroaromatization

This study presented an approach to overcome diffusion limitation and imbalance between Brønsted and Lewis acidities that affect conversion and aromatic yield in alkane nonoxidative dehydroaromatization (DHA) conversion. Three different Ga-promoted ZSM-5 catalysts were synthesized for the ethane DHA reaction. The hierarchical galloaluminosilicate Meso-GaZSM-5 was prepared by the solid-state crystallization technique wherein Ga was introduced through the in situ synthesis process. The microporous galloaluminosilicate Micro-GaZSM-5 was synthesized by the hydrothermal technique wherein Ga was introduced in situ during zeolite formation. The hierarchically structured Ga-Meso-ZSM-5 was synthesized by the solid-state crystallization method, but the Ga was introduced by the incipient wetness method. Additional Pt was incorporated by the incipient wetness technique for all three catalysts to enhance the DHA activity. The solid-state crystallization technique created the hierarchical structure without using a template. With the in situ technique, Ga species replaced the Al framework, reducing the strong Brønsted acidity. Meanwhile, they created the extraframework GaO + , introducing the strong Lewis acid sites into catalysts. Due to better synergistic interaction between the oxidation state of metals, acidic properties, and catalyst porosity, Pt-Meso-GaZSM-5 showed higher C 2 H 6 conversion and aromatic selectivity. The improvement on diffusivity not only reduces the effect of channel blockage but also improves the utilization of active sites. As a result, this work sheds light on the direct, nonoxidative conversion of shale gas without going through the syngas route.

In Situ Growth of Crystalline and Polymer-Incorporated Amorphous ZIFs in Polybenzimidazole Achieving Hierarchical Nanostructures for Carbon Capture

We report mixed matrix materials (MMMs) hold great potential for membrane gas separations by merging nanofillers with unique nanostructures and polymers with excellent processability. In situ growth of the nanofillers is adapted to mitigate interfacial incompatibility to avoid the selectivity loss. Surprisingly, functional polymers have not been exploited to co-grow the nanofillers for membrane applications. Herein, in situ synergistic growth of crystalline zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) in polybenzimidazole (PBI), creating highly porous structures with high gas permeability, is demonstrated. More importantly, PBI contains benzimidazole groups (similar to the precursor for ZIF-8, i.e., 2-methylimidazole) and induces the formation of amorphous ZIFs, enhancing interfacial compatibility and creating highly size-discriminating bottlenecks. For instance, the formation of 15 mass% ZIF-8 in PBI improves H- 2 permeability and H- 2 /CO 2 selectivity by approximate to 100% at 35 degrees C, breaking the permeability/selectivity tradeoff. This work unveils a new platform of MMMs comprising functional polymer-incorporated amorphous ZIFs with hierarchical nanostructures for various applications.

Accelerating Additive Manufacturing Process Design for Energy Conversion Materials using In-situ Sensing and Machine Learning

One promising candidate for manufacturing of the bismuth Telluride thermoelectric legs is laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive Manufacturing (AM). AM processing parameters highly influence the material properties, however current processing parameter development methods in AM are costly and time consuming. In-situ sensors allow for the capture of physically relevant process information on a layer-by-layer basis and will be used to aide process development. To optimize the AM process for the best thermoelectric performance, process variables, in-situ process sensor data and ex-situ material characterization data are collected. Several different interpretable machine learning (ML) approaches are used, and the performance of each method are assessed. Significant input process variables include laser focus, hatch spacing and laser power. The best performing models are used to determine the manufacturing parameters that maximize the power factor. AM of bismuth telluride material provides the ability to create complex geometries enabling more efficient energy conversion.

Hyperstoichiometric Uranium Dioxides: Rapid Synthesis and Irradiation-Induced Structural Changes

Uranium dioxide (UO 2 ), the primary fuel for commercial nuclear reactors, incorporates excess oxygen forming a series of hyperstoichiometric oxides. Thin layers of these oxides, such as UO 2.12 , form readily on the fuel surface and influence its properties, performance, and potentially geologic disposal. This work reports a rapid and straightforward combustion process in uranyl nitrate–glycine–water solutions to prepare UO 2.12 nanomaterials and thin films. We also report on the investigation of the structural changes induced in the material by irradiation. Despite the simple processing aspects, the combustion synthesis of UO 2.12 has a sophisticated chemical mechanism involving several exothermic steps. Raman spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements reveal the formation of a complex compound containing the uranyl moiety, glycine, H 2 O, and NO 3 – groups in reactive solutions and dried combustion precursors. Combustion diagnostic methods, gas-phase mass spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and extracted activation energies from DSC measurements show that the rate-limiting step of the process is the reaction of ammonia with nitrogen oxides formed from the decomposition of glycine and uranyl nitrate, respectively. However, the exothermic decomposition of the complex compound determines the maximum temperature of the process. In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging and electron diffraction measurements show that the decomposition of the complex compound directly produces UO 2 . The incorporation of oxygen at the cooling stage of the combustion process is responsible for the formation of UO 2.12 . Spin coating of the solutions and brief annealing at 670 K allow the deposition of uniform films of UO 2.12 with thicknesses up to 300 nm on an aluminum substrate. Irradiation of films with Ar 2+ ions (1.7 MeV energy, a fluence of up to 1 × 10 17 ions/cm 2 ) shows unusual defect-simulated grain growth and enhanced chemical mixing of UO 2.12 with the substrate due to the high uranium ion diffusion in films. As a result, the method described in this work allows the preparation of actinide oxide targets for fundamental nuclear science research and studies associated with stockpile stewardship.

Serendipita indica Drives Sulfur-Related Microbiota in Enhancing Growth of Hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii and Facilitating Soil Cadmium Remediation

Endophytic fungus Serendipita indica can bolster plant growth and confer protection against various biotic and abiotic stresses. However, S. indica -reshaped rhizosphere microecology interactions and root-soil interface processes in situ at the submicrometer scale remain poorly understood. Here, we combined amplicon sequencing and high-resolution nano X-ray fluorescence (nano-XRF) imaging of the root-soil interface to reveal cadmium (Cd) rhizosphere processes. S. indica can successfully colonize the roots of Sedum alfredii Hance, which induces a remarkable increase in shoot biomass by 211.32% and Cd accumulation by 235.72%. Nano-XRF images showed that S. indica colonization altered the Cd distribution in the rhizosphere and facilitated the proximity of more Cd and sulfur (S) to enter the roots and transport to the shoot. Furthermore, the rhizosphere-enriched microbiota demonstrated a more stable network structure after the S. indica inoculation. Keystone species were strongly associated with growth promotion and Cd absorption. For example, Comamonadaceae are closely related to the organic acid cycle and S bioavailability, which could facilitate Cd and S accumulation in plants. Meanwhile, Sphingomonadaceae could release auxin and boost plant biomass. In summary, we construct a mutualism system for beneficial fungi and hyperaccumulation plants, which facilitates high-efficient remediation of Cd-contaminated soils by restructuring the rhizosphere microbiota.

Artifact identification in X-ray diffraction data using machine learning methods

In situ synchrotron high-energy X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is highly utilized by researchers to analyze the crystallographic structures of materials in functional devices ( e.g. battery materials) or in complex sample environments ( e.g. diamond anvil cells or syntheses reactors). An atomic structure of a material can be identified by its diffraction pattern along with a detailed analysis of the Rietveld refinement which yields rich information on the structure and the material, such as crystallite size, microstrain and defects. For in situ experiments, a series of XRD images is usually collected on the same sample under different conditions ( e.g. adiabatic conditions) yielding different states of matter, or is simply collected continuously as a function of time to track the change of a sample during a chemical or physical process. In situ experiments are usually performed with area detectors and collect images composed of diffraction patterns. For an ideal powder, the diffraction pattern should be a series of concentric Debye–Scherrer rings with evenly distributed intensities in each ring. For a realistic sample, one may observe different characteristics other than the typical ring pattern, such as textures or preferred orientations and single-crystal diffraction spots. Textures or preferred orientations usually have several parts of a ring that are more intense than the rest, whereas single-crystal diffraction spots are localized intense spots owing to diffraction of large crystals, typically >10 µm. In this work, an investigation of machine learning methods is presented for fast and reliable identification and separation of the single-crystal diffraction spots in XRD images. The exclusion of artifacts during an XRD image integration process allows a precise analysis of the powder diffraction rings of interest. When it is trained with small subsets of highly diverse datasets, the gradient boosting method can consistently produce high-accuracy results. The method dramatically decreases the amount of time spent identifying and separating single-crystal diffraction spots in comparison with the conventional method.

Solid-state reaction mediated microstructural evolution in a spark plasma sintered in situ Ti–B 4 C composite

For this study, a novel porosity-free in situ Ti–B 4 C composite was fabricated via spark plasma sintering (SPS). Detailed analysis of the phase evolution, coupling results from XRM, XRD and SEM-EBSD-EDS, indicate that primarily TiB 2 precipitates formed due to the in-situ reactions between the boron-carbide and titanium powders. The precipitation of TiB 2 resulted in the formation of a graphitic C-rich thin layer circumscribing the partially reacted B 4 C particles. Further progression of the in-situ reaction leads to the out-diffusion of the excess carbon from the B 4 C particles, across the graphite and TiB 2 phases, forming TiC upon reacting with the titanium matrix. Therefore, the final microstructure primarily consisted of TiB 2 , TiC, and partially reacted B 4 C phases, with small amounts of TiB, α-Ti, and graphite. Furthermore, the microstructure in these SPS processed in situ composites appeared to be the product of a solid-state Ti–B 4 C diffusion couple, substantially different from their fusion-based additively manufactured counterparts. Nano-indentation tests revealed a remarkably high average hardness of ~25 GPa for this SPS-processed Ti–B 4 C composite and comparable (with literature) phase-specific hardness and modulus values for the constituent TiB 2 , TiC, and B 4 C phases.

Fundamental Processes and Practical Considerations of Lead Chalcogenide Mesocrystals Formed via Self-Assembly and Directed Attachment of Nanocrystals at a Fluid Interface

Significant advances in the synthesis and processing of colloidal nanocrystals have given scientists and engineers access to a vast library of building blocks with precisely defined size, shape, and composition. These materials have inspired exciting prospects to enable bottom-up fabrication of programmable materials with properties by design. Successfully assembling and connecting the building blocks into superstructures in which constituent nanocrystals can purposefully interact requires robust understanding of and control over a complex interplay of dynamic physicochemical processes. Fluid interfaces provide an advantageous experimental workbench to both probe and control these processes. Despite the ostensible simplicity of fabricating nanocrystal assemblies at a fluid interface, sensitivity to processing conditions and limited reproducibility have underscored the complexity of this process. In situ studies have provided mechanistic insights into the competing dynamics of key subprocesses including solvent spreading and evaporation, superlattice formation, ligand detachment kinetics, and nanocrystal attachment. Understanding how these subprocesses influence the complex choreography of self-assembly, structure transformation, and oriented attachment processes presents a rich research challenge. In this context, we present a detailed methodology for self-assembly and attachment of lead chalcogenide nanocrystals at a liquid–gas interface as a model system for the fabrication of mono- and multilayer cubic connected superlattices. We discuss key experimental parameters such as the characteristics of the building blocks and processing conditions and detailed steps from colloidal nanocrystal injection to superlattice transfer. Furthermore, we hope that this Methods/Protocols paper will provide guidance for future advances in the exciting path toward bringing the prospect of nanocrystal-based programmable materials to fruition.

Operando 3D imaging of defects dynamics of twinned-nanocrystal during catalysis

Using operando Bragg coherent x-ray diffraction imaging, we visualised three-dimensionally a single twinned-gold nanocrystal during the CO oxidation reaction. We describe the defect dynamics process occurring under operating conditions and indicate the correlation between the nucleation of highly strained regions at the surface of the nanocrystal and its catalytic activity. Understanding the twinning deformation mechanism sheds light on the creation of active sites, and could well contribute to the understanding of the catalytic behaviour of other catalysts. Furthermore, with the start-up of 4th generation synchrotron sources, we anticipate that coherent hard x-ray diffraction imaging techniques will play a major role in imaging in situ chemical processes.

Smart Refractory Sensors Development for Corrosion and Erosion Monitoring in High Temperature Systems

To optimize the operation and functioning of high temperature systems such as slagging gasifiers, coal boilers and glass/steel melters, it is important to monitor corrosion and erosion of refractory used in such systems. Corrosion test strategies are generally based on continuous gravimetric and chemical reactivity monitoring at operational temperatures (750°-1500°C). Both thermocouples and failure sensors and arrays would be useful to monitor the health of any refractory or coatings in these systems. Many of such type of sensors are installed into the systems through open access ports within the refractory; however, there are some disadvantages of this approach where corrosive/erosive gas and molten materials can penetrate and compromise the system. The current work presents the development and performance demonstration of smart refractory with embedded high temperature sensors such as thermocouples, thermistors, and various spallation/crack monitoring sensors, which may be used within a variety of refractory brick in different high temperature processes and applications. The main feature of this technology is that electroceramic based sensors are embedded into smart refractory without significantly impact to the intrinsic properties of the refractory. This technology circumvents the need to insert an isolated monolithic, stand-alone sensor into the refractory via an access port. This technological approach guarantees the integrity and the chemical stability of the materials used in the sensor fabrication within the harsh environment and does not introduce molten material (such as slag) penetration pathways within the refractory. One interesting and important aspect of this innovation is that these embedded sensors can be used to in situ monitoring processes such as chemical reactions and at the same time give information and a deeper understanding of the corrosion and erosion process of the refractory within the system. As stated above, the objective of our work is to develop high-temperature sensors composed of electroceramic materials that are chemically stable at high temperatures (750°-1500°C) and high pressures (up to 1000 psi) that can be used in monitoring corrosion and erosion process in refractory used in high energy systems. The high-temperature sensors investigated in this work were composed of various oxide composites directly embedded into the refractory oxides. The composites used for this work were synthesized by a mixed-oxide route. Metal oxides were inserted within a matrix material composed of refractory oxides (Al2O3, ZrO2, etc.). The physical and electrical properties were specifically manipulated by altering the level of percolation of the conductive species (metal oxides) within the refractory constituent (refractory oxide). Prior to the development of the high-temperature sensors, the oxides composites developed in this study were sintered up to 1600°C under oxidizing atmosphere in order to investigate densification, microstructural evolution, phase development, and their thermoelectrical performance as a function of the composition. The 4-point DC conductivity measurements were performed between 100°-1500°C. The sensors were fabricated from the composite materials by 3D-printing or screen-printing methods into the refractory brick during the consolidation process. An example of one of these embedded sensors consisted of an electroceramic-based thermocouple fabricated with two separate oxide composite compositions which were patterned to produce a couple within the interior of a refractory matrix. The thermocouple successfully displayed thermoelectric voltage trend (as a function of temperature), and the voltage was 220.0 mV around 1400 °C. Corrosion tests on the refractory embedded sensors were performed. To evaluate corrosion in the refractory brick an in-house glass composition was prepared and pressed into pellets and delivered into a pre-cut cavity in the brick. Corrosion experiments results showed the glass penetrated the brick over a 90 h period, and the penetration of the glass through the brick could be monitored by both an amperometric and voltametric based sensor. With this experiment, it was demonstrated that the embedded sensor could dynamically monitor the corrosion process.

A Hardware and Software Co-design Framework for Energy Efficient Neuromorphic Systems

Neuromorphic systems can be realized by a variety of algorithms and architectures. A common understanding is that spiking neuromorphic designs, which encode information into spatio-temporal spiking events, are both a biologically-accurate and efficient way of processing information. However, representing the information through timing relationships induces sophisticated circuit designs in traditional CMOS-based implementations. In recent years, high-capacity resistive memory (RRAM, aka, memristor) has demonstrated great potential in mimicking synaptic behaviors. Several RRAM-based spiking neuromorphic designs exist, most of which focus on rate coding schemes. These designs simplify circuit implementations of neuron models and explore challenges such as unsatisfactory speed, resolution, and performance. As an alternative, we will explore temporal coding spiking neuromorphic systems that encode information as the relative timing of neuron activations (spikes), which have been proven to be more adaptive and energy-efficient. Developing a neuromorphic system for spiking neural network (SNN) inference and online training, however, faces some major technical challenges: (1) It lacks circuit implementation support for temporal-coding SNN to achieve satisfying power efficiency and accuracy; (2) Although existing research works have investigated memristive synapse and neuron designs for spike-timing-dependent plasticity, the non-ideal conditions in implementation, such as device variations and signal degradation, degrade online learning accuracy of large scale systems; and (3) Non-optimized, inter-layer data traffic in SNNs, leads to unnecessary data communication costs. In this project, we plan to address these challenges by a hardware and software co-design framework that incorporates solutions at the circuit, architecture, and algorithm levels. At the circuit-level, we will elaborate on the in-situ SNN processing element designs for supporting both inference and online training modes. Variation-aware schemes will be studied to improve reliability. At the architecture level, we propose a pipelined, asynchronous architecture to retain the timing resolution of spikes. At the algorithm level, we will investigate an innovative SNN training algorithm for enabling activation sparsification and reducing unnecessary data communication costs. This neuromorphic system will provide an effective solution to real-life energy-constrained applications and significantly contribute to the exploration of next-generation high-performance computing systems under the DOE context.
