Superionic-like diffusion in yttrium dihydride

For the next-generation high temperature microreactors, yttrium dihydride (YH 2 ) is an attractive solid state neutron moderator. Despite a number of recent investigations, the mechanism of hydrogen transport remains poorly understood. Experimental evaluations of diffusivity are inconclusive with large variations in diffusivities and activation energies. In this work, we perform ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations on YH 2 for temperatures spanning 300 K to 1200 K. Our main finding is that YH 2 shows a superionic-like behavior with hydrogen atoms hopping from one native site to another above a characteristic temperature of 800 K. This correlated motion results in quasi-one-dimensional string-like displacements that enable the hydrogen atoms to diffuse rapidly. We confirm that the octahedral sites are mostly unoccupied, although channeling through them is the most favored pathway between lattice hops above 800 K. At the highest temperature of 1200 K, the string relaxation time is merely of the order of a few picoseconds, which indicates a liquid-like diffusive behavior. Based on the formation of spontaneous thermal vacancies, an order-disorder crossover temperature T α ~ 800 K is established for YH 2 with an activation energy of 0.83 eV for hydrogen diffusion in the superionic-like state.

A parallel discrete dislocation dynamics/kinetic Monte Carlo method to study non-conservative plastic processes

Non-conservative processes play a fundamental role in plasticity and are behind important macroscopic phenomena such as creep, dynamic strain aging, loop raft formation, etc. In the most general case, vacancy-induced dislocation climb is the operating unit mechanism. While dislocation/vacancy interactions have been modeled in the literature using a variety of methods, the approaches developed rely on continuum descriptions of both the vacancy population and its fluxes. However, there are numerous situations in physics where point defect populations display heterogeneous concentrations and/or non-smooth kinetics. Here, a kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) approach for modeling vacancy transport in response to arbitrary stress fields is used. Vacancies are treated as point particles and are coupled to the dislocation substructure representing a deformed material via an advection term defined by the local stress gradients. The stress fields and the dislocation substructure are evolved using a discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) module. To extend the coupled model to the treatment of large systems, we have implemented it in the massively-parallel DDD code ParaDiS. To avoid numerical incompatibilities associated with merging deterministic (DDD) and stochastic (kMC) integration algorithms, we cast the entire elasto-plastic-diffusive problem within a single stochastic framework, taking advantage of a parallel kMC algorithm to evolve the system as a single event-driven process. The large-scale implementation enables the study of the evolution of a variety of dislocation-defect scenarios governed by non-conservative transport kinetics. After carrying out an exhaustive numerical and computational analysis of our parallel algorithm, we show results that emphasize situations where inhomogeneous vacancy dynamics are of relevance, and compare discrete kinetics to continuum solutions for several cases.

Preparation and electrochemical properties of high-entropy oxide Li x (CrMnCoNiZn) 3-x O 4

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) have gained significant attention as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical specific capacity, synergistic effects of constituent elements, and enhanced structural stability induced by high entropy. Here, this study investigates the electrochemical properties of a novel series of HEOs, Li x (CrMnCoNiZn) 3-x O 4 , synthesized via the sol-gel method. As lithium content increases, the electrochemical lithium storage performance of the HEOs improves, attributed to the rise in high-valence states and oxygen vacancies. The high valence state of elements facilitates greater electron transfer, enhancing the specific capacity during lithium insertion. Additionally, a higher concentration of oxygen vacancies boosts ionic conductivity and lithium ion diffusion kinetics, leading to superior electrochemical performance. Among the synthesized materials, Li 0.11 (CrMnCoNiZn) 2.89 O 4 exhibited the best performance, delivering a discharge capacity of 365 mAh·g −1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA·g −1 , 257 mAh·g −1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A·g −1 , and a rate capacity of 196 mAh·g −1 at 2 A·g −1 . The Li + diffusion coefficient reached 2.78 × 10 −15 cm 2 ·s −1 . This work not only deepens the understanding of HEOs' electrochemical behavior in LIBs but also provides insights into the impact of lithium ion substitution on their performance.

Predicting path-dependent diffusion barrier spectra in vast compositional space of multi-principal element alloys via convolutional neural networks

The emergent multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) provide a vast compositional space to search for novel materials for technological advances. How to screen promising compositions from such an ample design space for targeted properties is a grand challenge. In this report, we demonstrate the state-of-the-art deep learning technology—convolutional neural network (CNN)—in predicting path-dependent vacancy migration energy barrier spectra, which are critical to diffusion behavior and many high-temperature properties, in the hyperdimensional composition space of MPEAs. The developed CNN model, fully capturing local chemical features surrounding each vacancy, accurately and efficiently predicts migration energy barrier of MPEAs with different degrees of chemical short-range order and at any unseen compositions. By varying the size of the local region encapsulating vacancy in the CNN model, we reveal that the length scale influencing vacancy migration is surprisingly extensive, up to its six nearest neighboring shells. The efforts of the CNN model make it promising for developing a database of diffusion barriers for various MPEA systems, which would have profound implications for accelerating alloy screening and discovering new compositions with desirable properties.

Current understanding of point defects and diffusion processes in silicon

The effects of oxidation of Si which established that vacancies (V) and Si self interstitials (I) coexist in Si at high temperatures under thermal equilibrium and oxidizing conditions are discussed. Some essential points associated with Au diffusion in Si are then discussed. Analysis of Au diffusion results allowed a determination of the I component and an estimate of the V component of the Si self diffusion coefficient. A discussion of theories on high concentration P diffusion into Si is then presented. Although presently there still is no theory that is completely satisfactory, significant progresses are recently made in treating some essential aspects of this subject.

Demonstrate Improved Ag Diffusion and Describe the Basis for Pd Penetration Modeling in SiC

In past work, an effective diffusivity coefficient was determined for Ag transport through the silicon carbide layer of a tristructural isotropic fuel particle. The effective diffusivity coefficient accounts for the microstructure of the silicon carbide and includes both bulk diffusion and grain boundary diffusion of Ag. In this report, the model has been improved by accounting for the enhanced concentration of vacancies in the bulk due to irradiation, which substantially influence bulk diffusivity at low temperatures. To improve the BISON model and make it fission rate dependent, effective diffusivity calculations have been performed that incorporate the radiation modified bulk diffusivity. The microstructure and irradiation-dependent effective diffusivity has also been implemented into BISON, and its predictions for Ag release from tristructural isotropic fuel have been successfully compared to AGR-1 post irradiation measurements. Moreover, a new feature has been developed in the Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) to account for different grain boundary types. The Ag diffusivity in 5 (210)/[001] grain boundaries has been computed and was found to be greater than in random high-angle grain boundaries. The presence of the fission product Pd can also have an important effect on the properties of the silicon carbide layer in tristructural isotropic particles. The penetration of Pd into the silicon carbide layer causes a corrosion reaction that can lead to the failure of the silicon carbide layer; however, this corrosion reaction is not well understood. To enable an improved understanding of the mechanism, ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations of Pd interaction with bulk silicon carbide have been performed. The improved understanding of the reaction will form a basis for future improvements to the BISON’s Pd penetration failure model

Demystify radiation-enhanced hydrogen isotope diffusion in Fe-Ni-Cr austenitic stainless steels

Understanding and containing hydrogen isotope diffusion is crucial for many nuclear applications. In situ experiments have consistently shown that radiation significantly enhances isotope diffusion in austenitic stainless steels. Despite extensive research, the mechanism behind this phenomenon remains elusive, as most radiation-induced defects (e.g., vacancies, dislocations, and grain boundaries) typically trap hydrogen, thereby slowing diffusion. While grain boundaries may increase in-plane diffusivity and interstitials may enhance diffusion due to material swelling, these effects are relatively minor. Utilizing an Fe-Ni-Cr-H interatomic potential for stainless steels, we conducted extensive molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the origins of radiation-enhanced diffusion. Here, our findings reveal that when a system is resolidified, mimicking defects created by radiation displacements, the resulting structure contains a mixture of phases, boundaries, and dislocation networks. This defective structure significantly increases hydrogen diffusivity, enhancing it by approximately 1.7 times at 900 K. These results suggest that the complex defect structures formed during radiation displacements are the primary drivers of the observed diffusion enhancement, providing valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying radiation-enhanced diffusion in nuclear materials.

Breaking atomic-level ordering via biaxial strain in functional oxides: A DFT study

Oxygen vacancies are found to play a crucial role in inducing many functional properties at the heterointerfaces in complex oxides. Gaining better control over the properties requires an understanding of the atomic structure of oxygen vacancies at the heterointerfaces. In this paper, we elucidate the effects of the interfacial strain on the oxygen-vacancy ordering in fluorite δ-Bi 2 O 3 and perovskite LaNiO 2.5 using first-principles calculations. By applying biaxial strains, we find that the <110>-<111> oxygen vacancy order in δ-Bi2O3 is broken, resulting in a faster diffusion of oxygen ions. Similarly, the biaxial strain is used to leverage both ordered and disordered arrangements of vacancies in LaNiO 2.5 . Besides the vacancy order, we find that the biaxial strain can also be used to break the cation order in Gd 2 Ti 2 O 7 , where Gd and Ti antisites can be created on the cation sublattice, which leads to enhanced radiation tolerance and higher oxygen diffusivity. Overall, these results indicate that the biaxial strain that is commonly present at heterointerfaces can be used to gain control over both ordered and disordered arrangements of defects, potentially opening new opportunities to functionalize complex oxides.

Defect cluster and nonequilibrium gas bubble associated growth in irradiated UMo fuels – a cluster dynamics and phase field model

Irradiation examination shows that gas bubble swelling kinetics is much faster after irradiation-induced recrystallization than that prior recrystallization in UMo fuels. It implies that gas bubbles in coarse grains and small recrystallized grains have different growth behavior. In this work, a phase-field model of gas bubble evolution integrating microstructure dependent cluster dynamics has been developed, for the first time, to study the gas bubble swelling behavior in the recrystallization zone of UMo fuels. Generation, diffusion, reaction, sink, emission and clustering of vacancies and interstitials are described by the cluster dynamics model while a phase-field model is used to describe the evolution of non-equilibrium gas bubbles including nucleation and growth. With the coupled model, the effect of defect generation rate, clustering rate, interstitial emission and sink rates on grain boundaries on the gas bubble evolution are systematically simulated. A set of model parameters (defect generation rate, clustering rate, interstitial emission and sink rates) is determined by comparing measured and simulated gas bubble swelling kinetics. The results demonstrate that interstitial clustering is one of the important physical mechanisms which results in a fast gas bubble swelling kinetics in the recrystallization zone. The developed model can also be extended to study the associated growth of defect and second phase precipitates often observed in irradiated materials.

Proton irradiation-decelerated intergranular corrosion of Ni-Cr alloys in molten salt

The effects of ionizing radiation on materials often reduce to "bad news". Radiation damage usually leads to detrimental effects such as embrittlement, accelerated creep, phase instability, and radiation-altered corrosion. Here we report that proton irradiation decelerates intergranular corrosion of Ni-Cr alloys in molten fluoride salt at 650 °C. We demonstrate this by showing that the depth of intergranular voids resulting from Cr leaching into the salt is reduced by proton irradiation alone. Interstitial defects generated from irradiation enhance diffusion, more rapidly replenishing corrosion-injected vacancies with alloy constituents, thus playing the crucial role in decelerating corrosion. Our results show that irradiation can have a positive impact on materials performance, challenging our view that radiation damage usually results in negative effects.

First-principles investigation of the resistive switching energetics in monolayer MoS 2 : insights into metal diffusion and adsorption

A deeper understanding of resistive switching (RS) in 2D materials is essential for advancing neuromorphic computing. The Dissociation-Diffusion-Adsorption (DDA) model offers a useful framework for probing RS mechanisms in non-volatile memory (NVM) and in-memory computing. We have employed first-principles density functional theory (DFT) to explore dissociation, diffusion, and adsorption phenomena within the DDA model, focusing on the interactions between exemplary metal atoms (Au, Ag, Cu) and monolayer MoS 2 . Nudged elastic band (NEB) calculations evaluated diffusion barriers in pristine and sulfur-vacancy MoS 2 . Charged systems were modeled to assess the impact of applied bias on migration pathways. We also examined metal dissociation from bulk electrodes and adsorption at S vacancies. Ag/MoS 2 shows the lowest dissociation barrier (~0.034 eV), while Au and Cu exhibit similar values (~0.32 eV). These insights highlight Ag as a promising candidate for low-energy RS applications and provide guidance for optimizing switching efficiency in 2D memory devices.

Effect of Mg and Ni impurities on tritium diffusion in lithium ceramics through cluster dynamics simulations

This study investigates the impact of Mg and Ni doping on tritium diffusion in LiAlO 2 and LiAl 5 O 8 ceramics, that are used in tritium-producing burnable absorber rods (TPBARs). Utilizing Centipede simulations across a broad temperature range (500 K to 1250 K), we explore the interplay between defect dynamics, cluster formation, and tritium mobility. In LiAlO 2 , Mg doping significantly enhances tritium diffusivity by increasing tritium interstitial concentrations and diffusion coefficients of key species, thereby doubling the overall tritium diffusivity. Ni doping, while shifting the dominant defect to Li vacancies, maintains high tritium mobility due to the low binding energy of Li vacancy-tritium complexes, which ensures effective tritium migration. In LiAl 5 O 8 , Mg and Ni doping results in a slight reduction in the diffusion coefficients of key species, yet the dramatic increase in tritium interstitial concentrations compensates, leading to a net small increase in tritium diffusivity. In conclusion, the findings highlight the critical role of defects in tritium transport and the effect of Mg and Ni defects on the performance of these ceramics in demanding nuclear environments.

Thermodynamic and Kinetic Mechanisms Governing the Synthesis of Nickel-Poor Cathodes

A deeper understanding of the thermodynamics and kinetics governing the lithiation and layering mechanisms of NMC cathode materials (LiNixMnyCozO 2 , where x + y + z = 1) offers valuable insights for enhancing synthesis methods and improving cathode performance. By employing atomistic and mesoscale approaches informed by in situ powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) experiments, critical parameters for comprehending lithiation and layering processes and reaction rates were identified. The mesoscale approach captured the evolution of the phases and crystallite size observed in the in situ PXRD, revealing the differences in reaction rates with the use of different lithium salts and starting precursors. Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) underscored the importance of vacancies and structural defects in promoting ion mobility and facilitating the nucleation of a layered domain. This nucleation disrupts the symmetry of disordered phases, ultimately creating a strained phase that serves as a buffer between layered and disordered regions. The lithiation and layering processes reflect a dynamic balance between the thermodynamic drive for a low-energy layered structure and the kinetic of diffusion, which is influenced by temperature and lithium vacancy concentration. Overall, reaction mechanisms are driven by the inherent defects of the intermediate phase that differ for NMC cathode materials. The lithium salts impact the rates of lithiation and layering, with a much slower process for Li 2 CO 3 .

Stationary Oxygen Vacancy Construction toward a Superior-Performance Ultrahigh Nickel Single-Crystal Cathode

Oxygen vacancies exert a complex and profound influence on the layered cathodes, especially those with ultrahigh nickel content. They can facilitate lithium-ion transport and enhance electronic conductivity, while aggressive oxygen vacancy formation causes structural degradation and electrolyte decomposition. Herein, taking ultrahigh nickel single-crystal LiNi 0.92 Co 0.06 Mn 0.02 O 2 (SC-Ni92) as a model material, we propose a pinning strategy to harness the benefits of oxygen vacancies while mitigating their detrimental effects. Through a carefully controlled thermal process, both oxygen vacancies and pinning atoms are successfully introduced into the surface region. The resulting anchored oxygen vacancies, capitalizing on their inherent advantages, improve conductivity and lithium-ion diffusion. Simultaneously, the neighboring pinning atoms effectively increase the migration barrier and suppress the adverse effects of these vacancies, including electrolyte decomposition and structural degradation during long-term electrochemical cycling. Consequently, oxygen vacancy-anchored single-crystal LiNi 0.92 Co 0.06 Mn 0.02 O 2 (SC-Ni92-OV) demonstrates significantly improved high-voltage electrochemical performance, with 86.16% capacity retention after 200 cycles at 4.6 V and 1 C in a half-cell and 90.71% after 300 cycles at 4.5 V and 1 C in a full cell. Furthermore, this study not only provides valuable insights into the chemistry of oxygen vacancy but also introduces a viable strategy for leveraging oxygen vacancies to achieve stable high-voltage performance in ultrahigh nickel single-crystal cathodes.

First-principles elucidation of defect-mediated Li transport in hexagonal boron nitride

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a promising candidate as a protective membrane or separator in Li-ion and Li–S batteries, given its excellent chemical stability, mechanical robustness, and high thermal conductivity. In addition, hBN can be functionalized by introducing defects and dopants, or be directly integrated into other active components of batteries, which further augments its appeal to the field. Here, we use first-principles simulations to evaluate the role of atomic defects in hBN in regulating the Li-ion diffusion mechanism and associated kinetics. Specifically, the following four distinct types of vacancy defects are considered: isolated single B and N vacancies, a B–N vacancy pair, and a B 3 N vacancy cluster. It is found that these defect sites generally favor Li intercalation and out-of-plane diffusion but slow down in-plane Li-ion diffusion due to a strong Li trapping effect at the defect sites. Such a trapping effect is, however, highly local such that it does not necessarily affect the overall Li-ion conductivity in defected hBN layers. The present systematic evaluation of the impact of atomic defects on Li ion migration and accompanied charge analysis of hBN lattice in response to Li-ion diffusion provide a mechanistic understanding of Li-ion transport behavior in defected hBN and highlight the potential of defect engineering to achieve optimal material performance.

Scaling microstructural processes in the sintering of ionic ceramics

A multi-scale framework, combining a multiphase field formulation and large deformation mechanics, was developed as a stepping stone to perform the data analytics of the microstructural level kinetics of a sintering solid. Relevant microstructural information from this framework, such as grain, stress, and porosity statistics, was scaled up to describe the macroscopic level sintering kinetics. Here, the developed formulation was applied to describe the electric field assisted sintering of Y 2 O 3 . Microstructural inhomogeneities in a multi-granular solid result in the formation of a field of compressive stress networks, which interleave with low compression and weakly tensile regions, defining a scaffolding for sintering concentration regions to develop. A Poisson effect-induced lateral stress network is also naturally self-induced as a result of the mechanical constraints imposed by the sintering apparatus. For long sintering times, localized shear stresses enhancing mass flow along grain boundaries and internal surfaces develop. Three-sided pores are removed by either vacancy transport to the surrounding pores, or move towards the external surfaces through grain boundary diffusion. Four- and higher order-sided pores stabilize because an equal amount of vacancies are gained and lost through the connecting grain boundaries. Grain dewetting contributes to pore coalescence, suggesting that pore kinetics and grain growth are coupled and should be analyzed in concert. The combined sintering and grain growth kinetics define six regimes of sintering behavior: (1) T, the transient regime; (2) E$_Υ$, the surface energy dominated, early sintering regime, where the grain growth exponent, p = 1, and the stress concentration factor, $f$ ~ $1/\hat{ρ}^{4.6}$; (3) E S , the stress dominated, early sintering regime, where p = 1 and $f$ ~ $1/\hat{ρ}^{4}$; (4) I$_Υ$, the surface energy dominated, intermediate sintering regime, where p = 2 and $f$ ~ $1/\hat{ρ}^{4.6}$; (5) I S , the stress dominated, intermediate sintering regime, where p = 2 and $f$ ~ $1/\hat{ρ}^{4}$; and (6) L, the late sintering regime, where p = 3 and $f$ ~ 1. At the macroscopic level, the rapid densification and suppression of grain growth observed in the electric field assisted sintering process is a consequence of the compounding effects of the underlying stress-, transport-, and interfacial-energy-induced energy minimization kinetics, as predicted by the multi-scale framework.

Effect of high scandium doping in barium zirconate on nickel diffusion and performance of proton-conducting solid oxide electrolyzer cells

Proton-conducting solid oxide electrolyzer cells (p-SOECs) are emerging but promising technologies for hydrogen production. However, due to the lack of a robust electrolyte, p-SOECs struggle simultaneously to display high performance, Faradaic efficiency, and durability. Motivated by its high proton concentrations and stability as a barium zirconate, we have investigated BaZr 0.6 Sc 0.4 O 3-δ (BZSc40) as a potential next-generation p-SOEC electrolyte. Here, we found elevated levels of NiO diffusion through BZSc40 electrolytes during high-temperature sintering, attributed to the large oxygen vacancy concentrations present in BZSc40, as revealed by first-principle computational results. Controlling NiO diffusion is critical, as it can facilitate densification and grain size growth, but it may also detrimentally impact performance by causing electronic leakage. By optimizing sintering temperature when fabricating BZSc40 cells, we successfully controlled NiO diffusion, achieving sufficient electrolyte densification along with high performance and Faradaic efficiency. BZSc40 cells reached −0.99 A/cm 2 at 1.3 V and 600 °C and exhibited enhanced durability with a 3.37 mV/kh degradation rate at −0.8 A/cm 2 over a 200-h testing period. BZSc40 electrolytes demonstrated superior performance over BaZr 0.8 Y 0.2 O 3-δ (BZY20). In addition to elevated current densities and grain sizes, BZSc40 cells achieved Faradaic efficiencies of 76 % compared to 54 % for BZY20 at −0.2 A/cm 2 and 600 °C. This work lays the foundation for BZSc40 as a potential electrolyte due to its advantages over BZY20 while demonstrating the significance of controlling NiO diffusion when fabricating p-SOECs.

Heteroatom anchoring to enhance electrochemical reversibility for high-voltage P2-type oxide cathodes of sodium-ion batteries

P2-type cathode has received extensive attention due to its faster Na+ diffusion and a high theoretical capacity in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, undesirable phase transformations have induced dramatic capacity decay of SIBs during the cycling process. In this study, heteroatom anchoring through Cu/Mg dual doping is introduced into P2-type Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67 O 2 cathode to enhance high-voltage electrochemical reversibility and modulate interfacial Na + kinetics. Further, the as-prepared Na 0.67 Ni 0.23 Mg 0.05 Cu 0.05 Mn 0.67 O 2 exhibits an outstanding capacity retention (83.4% after 2000 cycles at 10C) and rate performance (73 mAh g -1 at 10C, accounting for 58.7% of that at 0.1 C) over the voltage range of 2.5–4.4 V. Intensive explorations further manifest that the modified mechanism of dual-ion doping strategy is attributed to the synergistic coupling effect of a substantial change in Na occupancy distribution and an increase in oxygen vacancy buffer. Thus, the optimized cathode expedites Na + diffusion and reduces detrimental phase transformation, which favors high-rate performance and long-term cycling stability. This study develops a route to rationally design high-voltage cathode materials for SIBs.
