238 U PFNS Evaluation Update [Slides]
Experimental 238 U PFNS were reviewed in detail including Chi-Nu PFNS. 7/10 data sets have been accepted. We have performed a detailed UQ using LANL code ARIADNE and templates of expected PFNS measurement uncertainties. we have included Chi-Nu PFNS in experimental data base. The extended Los Alamos model in CoH was used for prior calculation. Multiple chance fission and pre-equilibrium (with exciton model) contributions were modeled.
Copper Tantalate by a Sodium-Driven Flux-Mediated Synthesis for Photoelectrochemical CO 2 Reduction
Copper-tantalate, Cu 2 Ta 4 O 11 (CTO), shows significant promise as an efficient photocathode for multi-carbon compounds (C 2+ ) production through photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO 2 reduction, owing to its suitable energy bands and catalytic surface. However, synthesizing CTO poses a significant challenge due to its metastable nature and thermal instability. In this study, this challenge is addressed by employing a flux-mediated synthesis technique using a sodium-based flux to create sodium-doped CTO (Na-CTO) thin films, providing enhanced nucleation and stabilization for the CTO phase. To evaluate the PEC performance and catalytic properties of the films, copper(II) oxide (CuO) at the Na-CTO surface is selectively etched. The etched Na-CTO shows a lower dark current, with decreased contribution from photocorrosion, unlike the non-etched Na-CTO which has remaining CuO on the surface. Furthermore, Na-CTO exhibits 7.3-fold ethylene selectivity over hydrogen, thus highlighting its promising potential as a photocathode for C 2+ production through PEC CO 2 reduction.
