Speciation of Transition Metal Dissolution in Electrolyte from Common Cathode Materials

Significant capacity loss has been observed across extended cycling of lithium-ion batteries cycled to high potential. One of the sources of capacity fade is transition metal dissolution from the cathode active material, ion migration through the electrolyte, and deposition on the solid-electrolyte interphase on the anode. While much research has been conducted on the oxidation state of the transition metal in the cathode active material or deposited on the anode, there have been limited investigations of the oxidation state of the transition metal ions dissolved in the electrolyte. Here, in this work, X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been performed on electrolytes extracted from cells built with four different cathode active materials (LiMn 2 O 4 (LMO), LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 (LNMO), LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 (NMC811), and (x Li 2 MnO 3 *(1-x) LiNi a Mn b Co c O 2 , with a+b+c=1) (LMRNMC)) that were cycled at either high or standard potentials to determine the oxidation state of Mn and Ni in solution. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry has been performed on the anodes from these cells to determine the concentration of deposited transition metal ions. While transition metal ions were found dissolved in all electrolytes, the oxidation state(s) of Mn and Ni were determined to be dependent on the cathode material and independent of cycling potential.

Unravelling the radiation-induced redox chemistry of plutonium ions in aqueous solution

Plutonium plays a critical role in nuclear fuel cycle technologies, but our understanding of its fundamental radiation-induced redox chemistry is limited. Changes in oxidation states affect the speciation and transport of plutonium ions in solution. For example, solvent extraction techniques used to separate and recover plutonium from used nuclear fuel rely on the selective formation, maintenance, and complexation of specific plutonium oxidation states. However, radiolytically generated radicals, ions, and molecules can drive the oxidation state distribution of plutonium ions far from equilibrium, ultimately changing the physical and chemical properties of the bulk system. These radiation-induced processes are inevitable due to the ionizing radiation fields generated by the radioactive decay of plutonium and its daughter nuclides. Therefore, mechanistically understanding how plutonium's various oxidation states respond to ionizing radiation is essential for predicting its behavior in solution. Here, we present significant advances in our understanding of radiation-induced plutonium redox chemistry by using time-resolved (electron pulse) and dose accumulation (alpha and gamma) irradiation techniques, along with quantitative multiscale modeling methods.

Catalytic Bias in Enzymatic Metal Cofactor-Based Oxidation-Reduction Catalysis

Catalytic bias refers to the relative rate preference of a catalyst for either the forward or reverse direction. In enzymatic metal cofactor-based oxidation-reduction catalysis, the tuning of catalytic bias plays an underlying role in controlling rates of reactivity. For this, enzymes have evolved complex active sites that can exist in multiple oxidation states with differing reduction potentials in order to achieve challenging multi-step, oxidation-reduction reactions. Conceivably, the relative stability of the intermediates that contribute to determining the rate-limiting step of the catalytic cycle could impose catalytic bias, although mechanisms for this concept are just beginning to be realized. As one example, recent work on Clostridium pasteurianum [FeFe]-hydrogenases which catalyze reversible hydrogen oxidation have shown that the differential stabilization/destabilization of active site oxidation states through either static or dynamic protein interactions can preferentially promote either the hydrogen oxidation or proton reduction direction of the reaction. This revealed how an enzymatic cofactor can impose bias in oxidation-reduction catalysis through various tuning mechanisms by protein scaffold interactions. The hypothesis based on achieving catalytic bias through the modulation of cofactor oxidation states critical for the reaction cycle can be extended more generally to other cofactor-based oxidation-reductions catalysts. The current understanding of catalytic bias has significant implications for the design of synthetic catalysts used in industrial settings, as well as providing a greater fundamental understanding of the factors that control metabolic processes in all life.

Contra-Thermodynamic Positional Isomerization of Olefins

A light-driven method for the contra-thermodynamic positional isomerization of olefins is described. In this work, stepwise PCET activation of a more substituted and more thermodynamically stable olefin substrate is mediated by an excited-state oxidant and a Brønsted base to afford an allylic radical that is captured by a Cr(II) cocatalyst to furnish an allylchromium- (III) intermediate. In situ protodemetalation of this allylchromium complex by methanol is highly regioselective and affords an isomerized and less thermodynamically stable alkene product. The higher oxidation potential of the less substituted olefin isomer renders it inert to further oxidation by the excited-state oxidant, enabling it to accumulate in solution over the course of the reaction. A broad range of isopropylidene substrates are accommodated, including enol ethers, enamides, styrenes, 1,3-dienes, and tetrasubstituted alkyl olefins. Mechanistic investigations of the protodemetalation step are also presented.

Shifts in valence states in bimetallic MXenes revealed by electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS)

MXenes are an emergent class of two-dimensional materials with a very wide spectrum of promising applications. The synthesis of multiple MXenes, specifically solid-solution MXenes, allows fine tuning of their properties, expands their range of applications, and leads to enhanced performance. The functionality of solid-solution MXenes is closely related to the valence state of their constituents: transition metals, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen. However, the impact of changes in the oxidation state of elements in MXenes is not well understood. In this work, three interrelated solid-solution MXene systems (Ti$_{2–y}$Nb$_y$CT$_x$, Nb$_{2–y}$V$_y$CT$_x$, and Ti$_{2–y}$V$_y$CT$_x$) were investigated with scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron energy-loss spectroscopy to determine the localized valence states of metals at the nanoscale. The analysis demonstrates changes in the electronic configuration of V upon modification of the overall composition and within individual MXene flakes. These shifts of oxidation state can explain the nonlinear optical and electronic features of solid-solution MXenes. Vanadium appears to be particularly sensitive to modification of the valence state, while titanium maintains the same oxidation state in Ti–Nb and Ti–V MXenes, regardless of stoichiometry. Here, the study also explains Nb's influential role in the previously observed electronic properties in the Nb–V and Nb–Ti systems.

Theoretical Evaluation of Metal–Ligand Bonding in Neptunium Compounds in Relation to 237 Np Mössbauer Spectroscopy

The 237 Np Mössbauer isomer shift and quadrupole splitting (QS) are powerful probes for the metal–ligand bonding of neptunium, a 5f-element of vital importance in the nuclear fuel cycle. A large set of Np compounds with different oxidation states (III) to (VII) is studied to investigate, by first-principles calculations, isomer shifts and the QS trends in relation to the Np oxidation state. Natural Bond Orbital analysis reveals that in addition to donation bonding to the 5f shell, participation of the 6d and 7s neptunium shells in covalent (donation) bonding substantially impacts the isomer shifts. The isomer shift cannot be interpreted solely by the 5f shell electron count. The isomer shift for Np(II) compounds is estimated to be in the range of 31–34 mm/s, less positive than for Np(III) compounds. For the QS, density functional calculations fail to reproduce the quadrupole splitting for some Np(VI) ionic solids. A multiconfigurational wave function approach reproduces the observed QS trends. The calculations give a semiquantitative interpretation of the trends for Np oxidation states (V) to (VII). Furthermore, the contrasting QS for standard and “reverse” neptunyl(VI), at the opposite extremes of the observed QS scale, arises predominantly from the different crystal environments.

Controlling Interfacial Charge Separation Energetics and Kinetics

The overall goal is to probe electron transfer kinetics of the Marcus inverted region at interfaces. This project specifically uses a dye‐semiconductor interface with a reversible electron transfer reagent in solution where the semiconductor conduction band and electron transfer reagent ideally have a potential energy difference firmly within the Marcus inverted region. The goals of this project are: (Goal 1) Identify dye design elements that give dyes with low energy ground‐state oxidation potentials while retaining desirable electron transfer kinetics at the semiconductor interface. (Goal 2) Identify dye designs with excited‐state oxidation potentials set to fixed energies through molecular design while the dye ground‐state oxidation potentials are varied to allow for the evaluation of varied electron transfer reagents/redox shuttles (RS) with different free energies for electron transfer. (Goal 3) Within the context of the functionality identified in goals 1 and 2, goal 3 seeks to design dyes with features maximizing charge carrier lifetimes by minimizing recombination losses at metal oxide interfaces with high voltage systems. (Goal 4) Probe electron transfer kinetics in a high voltage‐dye sensitized solar cell with both the oxidized dye and RS firmly within the Marcus inverted region with regard to the TiO2 CB. (Goal 5) Identify tailored sensitizer/redox shuttle pairs with desirable electron transfer kinetics in defined spectral regions capable of “banding off” incident solar irradiation to give high voltage multijunction systems capable of exceeding the Shockley‐Queisser limit and powering catalytic processes.

Oxidation and Reduction of Polycrystalline Cerium Oxide Thin Films in Hydrogen

This study investigates the oxidation state of ceria thin films' surface and subsurface under 100 mTorr hydrogen using ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We examine the influence of the initial oxidation state and sample temperature (25-450 °C) on the interaction with hydrogen. Our findings reveal that the oxidation state during hydrogen interaction involves a complex interplay between oxidizing hydride formation, reducing thermal reduction, and reducing formation of hydroxyls followed by water desorption. In all studied conditions, the subsurface exhibits a higher degree of oxidation compared to the surface, with a more subtle difference for the reduced sample. The reduced samples are significantly hydroxylated and covered with molecular water at 25 °C. We also investigate the impact of water vapor impurities in hydrogen. We find that although 1 × 10 -6 Torr water vapor oxidizes ceria, it is probably not the primary driver behind the oxidation of reduced ceria in the presence of hydrogen.

LDRD poster - Identifying the speciation of salt-based actinides in the presence of contaminants

Molten salt reactors (MSRs) are among the most promising Generation IV nuclear reactors. The salts used in these reactors exhibit a high affinity for moisture and oxygen, and heating does not eliminate the oxides that are formed. Additionally, due to the high operating temperatures, reactor parts experience pronounced corrosion, and the resulting corrosion products integrate into the fuel salt system. It is hypothesized that the speciation of f-elements in molten salts would change in the presence of oxides and corrosion products. These changes in local structure can alter the rheological properties, which are critical to the operational and safety parameters of the reactors. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of how corrosion products influence lanthanide/actinide speciation is crucial. To test this hypothesis, lanthanides (as surrogates for actinides) and actinide chlorides were mixed with oxides (such as nickel oxide and lithium oxide) and/or corrosion products (e.g., nickel chloride) and reacted in molten salts. The resulting phases were analyzed using techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In the presence of oxides, due to the high oxophilicity of f-elements, these elements capture oxygen from the oxides, forming lanthanide/actinide oxide or oxychloride phases. Specifically, with cerium chloride, the introduction of lithium oxide to the formation of various final products depending on the oxide concentration. At lower oxide concentrations, cerium oxychloride (CeOCl) in the +3 oxidation state was observed, while an increase in the oxide concentration led to the formation of cerium dioxide (CeO2), where cerium is in the +4 oxidation state. In contrast, with nickel oxide, CeOCl formation was consistently observed, regardless of the oxide concentration. This project successfully determined that the speciation of f-elements change in the presence of oxides and different oxides in molten salts result in different final products. When the influence of nickel chloride was examined, changes in f-element speciation were not observed. However, it reacted with lithium chloride to generate a lithium-nickel-chloride (Li6NiCl8) phase, which was also observed when nickel oxide was reacted. Computational models were developed to simulate the phases anticipated under experimental conditions.

Electronic Structure of the Complete Series of Gas-Phase Manganese Acetylacetonates by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy

Metal centers in transition metal–ligand complexes occur in a variety of oxidation states causing their redox activity and therefore making them relevant for applications in physics and chemistry. The electronic state of these complexes can be studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy, which is, however, due to the complex spectral signature not always straightforward. Here, we study the electronic structure of gas-phase cationic manganese acetylacetonate complexes Mn(acac) 1–3 + using X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the metal center and ligand constituents. The spectra are well reproduced by multiconfigurational wave function theory, time-dependent density functional theory as well as parameterized crystal field and charge transfer multiplet simulations. This enables us to get detailed insights into the electronic structure of ground-state Mn(acac) 1–3 + and extract empirical parameters such as crystal field strength and exchange coupling from X-ray excitation at both the metal and ligand sites. By comparison to X-ray absorption spectra of neutral, solvated Mn(acac) 2,3 complexes, we also show that the effect of coordination on the L 3 excitation energy, routinely used to identify oxidation states, can contribute about 40–50% to the observed shift, which for the current study is 1.9 eV per oxidation state.

Scrutinizing formally Ni IV centers through the lenses of core spectroscopy, molecular orbital theory, and valence bond theory

Nickel K- and L 2,3 -edge X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) are discussed for 16 complexes and complex ions with nickel centers spanning a range of formal oxidation states from II to IV. K-edge XAS alone is shown to be an ambiguous metric of physical oxidation state for these Ni complexes. Meanwhile, L 2,3 -edge XAS reveals that the physical d-counts of the formally Ni IV compounds measured lie well above the d 6 count implied by the oxidation state formalism. The generality of this phenomenon is explored computationally by scrutinizing 8 additional complexes. The extreme case of NiF 6 2- is considered using high-level molecular orbital approaches as well as advanced valence bond methods. The emergent electronic structure picture reveals that even highly electronegative F-donors are incapable of supporting a physical d 6 Ni IV center. The reactivity of Ni IV complexes is then discussed, highlighting the dominant role of the ligands in this chemistry over that of the metal centers.

Characterizing Radiation-Induced Chromium Redox Chemistry

The redox behavior of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in nuclear environments were studied by analyzing aqueous irradiated chromium ions using UV-Visible spectroscopy. The formation of different chromium oxidation states can occur through gamma radiolysis of chromium solutions. Characterization of radiation-induced chromium is not well understood, and yet important as chromium can make its way into the primary coolant of reactors because of the corrosion of stainless steel reactor components. Furthermore, Cr(VI) is toxic and not suitable for environmental release, therefore Cr speciation is important. Fricke dosimetry was performed to collect doses rates, specific extinction coefficients were obtained from various analytical methods for the two oxidation states of chromium. Chromium samples--conditioned at various pH's and concentration to understand the effects--were then irradiated using a Coblat-60 gamma irradiator. Three optical spectroscopy analytical methods were used , including direct oxidation state measurements and complexation by either EDTA or DPC. Complexation by EDTA was found to not be a reliable method. Radiolytic oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI), and reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) were clearly seen, except for Cr(III) samples were a pH less than or equal to 2, where no change occurred.

Evaluation of Chemical and Structural Homogeneity in Single Particles of Li 1-x Ni 0.33 Mn 0.33 Co 0.33 0 2

Identifying irreversible phenomena at single particles of battery cathode materials is an important step to understanding degradation pathways upon cycling. LiNi 0.33 Mn 0.33 Co 0.33 O 2 (LiNMC(111)) single particles of size 200 x 300 nm were studied before and after cycling using Scanning X-ray Diffraction Microscopy (SXDM) and ptychographic microscopy. Here, with resolutions of 30 and 5 nm, respectively, it was possible to map the (003) reflection and nickel oxidation state changes in single particles at different states of charge. While the compositions measured by the c lattice parameter from SXDM were found to be homogeneous, mapping at higher resolution using ptychography revealed that Ni oxidation states decrease sharply 0-25 nm from the edge, then trail into a steady oxidation state toward the interior of the particle. Within the 30 nm length scale, we conclude that LiNi 0.33 Mn 0.33 Co 0.33 O 2 single particles are highly structurally reversible.

Systematic characterization of selenium speciation in coal fly ash

Millions of tons of coal fly ashes (CFAs) are produced annually during coal combustion in the U.S., which are commonly beneficially used in the concrete industry or disposed of in ash ponds. CFAs contain trace amounts of a range of toxic heavy metals including selenium (Se). Because the toxicity of Se is dependent on its speciation, investigating Se speciation in CFAs as affected by coal source and combustion conditions can help understand the related environmental and human health impacts during disposal or beneficial reuse. In this study, a set of representative CFA samples were characterized for Se speciation using synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and micro-X-ray fluorescence spectromicroscopy (μ-XRF/XAS). Se-containing particles were highly heterogeneous, and individual particles might contain multiple oxidation states including Se(0), Se(IV), and Se(VI). Principal component analysis was performed for sample characteristics including Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , CaO, FeO, loss on ignition, average particle size, Se concentration, and Se oxidation state. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR), which is used to limit nitrogen oxide (NO x ) emissions during coal combustion, was found to be associated with the presence of reduced Se oxidation states, with up to 90% Se(0) observed in samples with SCR. Alongside SCR, FeO content may also influence Se speciation.

Sulfur speciation in dacitic melts using X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy of the S K -edge (S-XANES): Consideration of radiation-induced changes and the implications for sulfur in natural arc systems

Abstract The synchrotron technique of micro X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy at the sulfur K-edge (S-XANES) provides a unique opportunity to measure the proportion of different oxidation states of sulfur (S) in silicate glasses. Although applied extensively in the analysis of basaltic silicate glasses, few S-XANES studies have investigated variations in S oxidation states with fO2 in felsic silicate glasses. In addition, no study has systematically compared the S-XANES results obtained from the same samples at different photon flux densities to quantify the relationship between exposure time and changes in S speciation in silicate glass, as has been done for Fe and V. This study evaluates observed differences in S speciation measured in experimentally produced H2O-saturated dacitic glasses over a range of reducing to oxidizing conditions (from log fO2 = ΔFMQ-0.7 to ΔFMQ+3.3; FMQ is the fayalite-magnetite-quartz mineral redox buffer) and equilibrated at 1000 °C and 300 MPa. S-XANES spectra were collected at three different photon flux densities using three microspectroscopy beamlines. As is observed in S-XANES analyses of basaltic silicate glasses, beam-induced changes to the S6+/ΣS are observed as a function of photon flux density and beam exposure time. Our results demonstrate that silicate glasses of dacitic composition undergo beam-induced photo-reduction in samples equilibrated at ΔFMQ > +1.75 and photo-oxidation if equilibrated at ΔFMQ < +1. The time required to observe beam-induced changes in the spectra varies as a function of flux density, and our study establishes an upper photon density limit at ~1.0 × 1012 photons/µm2. The S6+/ΣS calculated from spectra collected below this absorbed photon limit at intermediate flux densities (~1–4 × 109 photons/s per µm2) are affected by beam damage, as no conditions were found to be completely free of beam-induced changes. However, the S6+/ΣS ratios calculated below the limit at intermediate flux densities are consistent with thermodynamic constraints, demonstrating that S6+/ΣS ratios calculated from S-XANES spectra can be considered reliable for estimating the oxygen fugacity. Our results carry important implications for the S budget of felsic magmas and dissolution mechanisms in evolved melts. While our results from all three flux densities show the presence of S4+ dissolved in relatively oxidized (ΔFMQ > +1.75) dacitic glass, even in the spectra exposed to the lowest photon densities, we are unable to rule out the possibility that the S4+ signal is the result of instantaneous X-ray irradiation induced beam damage using S-XANES alone. When our spectra are compared to S-XANES spectra from basaltic silicate glasses, important differences exist in the solubility of S2– and S6+ between dacitic silicate melts, pointing to differences in solubility mechanisms as melt composition changes. This study highlights the need for further investigation into beam damage systematics, presence of S4+, and the solubility mechanisms of different oxidation states of S as silicate melt composition changes.

Impact of Solution Chemistry on Growth and Structural Features of Mo-Substituted Spinel Iron Oxides

The effect of crystallizing solution chemistry on the chemistry of subsequently as-grown materials was investigated for Mo-substituted iron oxides prepared by thermally activated co-precipitation. In the presence of Mo ions, we find that varying the oxidation state of the iron precursor from Fe(II) to Fe(III) causes a progressive loss of atomic long-range order with the stabilization of 2-4 nm particles for the sample prepared with Fe(III). The oxidation state of the Fe precursor also affects the distribution of Fe and Mo cations within the spinel structure. Increasing the Fe precursor oxidation state gives decreased Fe-ion occupation and increased Mo-ion occupation of tetrahedral sites, as revealed by the extended X-ray absorption fine structure. The stabilization of Mo within tetrahedral sites appears to be unexpected, considering the octahedral preferred coordination number of Mo(VI). The analysis of the atomic structure of the sample prepared with Fe(III) indicates a local ordering of vacancies and that the occupation of tetrahedral sites by Mo induces a contraction of the interatomic distances within the polyhedra as compared to Fe atoms. Moreover, the occupancy of Mo into the thermodynamic site preference of a Mo dopant in Fe 2 O 3 assessed by density functional theory calculations points to a stronger preference for Mo substitution at octahedral sites. Hence, we suggest that the synthetized compound is thermodynamically metastable, that is, kinetically trapped. Such a state is suggested to be a consequence of the tetrahedral site occupation by Mo ions. The population of these sites, known to be reactive sites enabling particle growth, is concomitant with the stabilization of very small particles. Furthermore, we confirmed our hypothesis by using a blank experiment without Mo ions, further supporting the impact of tetrahedral Mo ions on the growth of iron oxide nanoparticles. Our findings provide new insights into the relationships between the Fechemistry of the crystallizing solution and the structural features of the as-grown Mo-substituted Fe-oxide materials.
