Highly Active and Selective Sites for Propane Dehydrogenation in Zeolite Ga-BEA

A highly selective Ga-modified zeolite BEA for propane dehydrogenation has been synthesized by grafting Ga on Zn-BEA followed by removal of Zn in the presence of H 2 . A propene selectivity of 82% at 19% propane conversion illustrates the high selectivity at 813 K. The kinetic model of the catalyzed dehydrogenation including the elementary steps of propane adsorption, first and second C–H bond cleavage, and propene and H 2 desorption demonstrates that the propane dehydrogenation rate is determined by the first C–H bond cleavage at low pC 3 H 8 , while at high pC 3 H 8 , the rate is limited by the desorption of H 2 . The active sites have been identified as dehydrated and tetrahedrally coordinated Ga 3+ in the *BEA lattice. Furthermore, the low selectivity toward aromatics is concluded to be associated with the high Lewis acid strength of lattice Ga 3+ and the low Brønsted acid strength of the hydrated Ga sites.

Demonstration of a 4.32 μ m cutoff InAsSbBi n B n photodetector, a lattice-matched random alloy III–V solution for mid-wave infrared sensing

InAsSbBi nBn photodetectors are demonstrated that are lattice-matched to the underlying GaSb substrate with a 4.32 μm wavelength cutoff at 150 K that is 0.3 μm longer than that of lattice-matched InAsSb at this temperature reflecting a 0.5% Bi mole fraction in the InAsSbBi active region. A low growth temperature was utilized to facilitate the incorporation of Bi, resulting in a minority carrier lifetime on the order of 24 ns in the InAsSbBi active region. Nevertheless, the detectors exhibit a quantum efficiency of 17% at 3.3 μm wavelength with a dark current density of 50 μA/cm2 at 150 K and −0.4 V bias and the strong photoresponse turn-on characteristic of a random alloy at 4.32 μm wavelength and 150 K. A shot noise-equivalent irradiance analysis indicates that this detectors' dark-current-limited noise-equivalent irradiance of 1012 cm−2 s−1 is two orders of magnitude greater than the Rule 07 expectation for this cutoff, and dark-current-limited shot noise-equivalent irradiance performance transitions to photon-limited at 1.7 × 1015 photons/cm2 s.

Molten Salt Reactor Experiment Simulation using Shift/Griffin

The Department of Energy (DOE)’s NEAMS focuses its efforts on the development of advanced modeling and simulation (M&S) tools for light-water reactors (LWRs) and non–LWRs (i.e., molten salt reactors, high-temperature gas reactors, microreactors, and fast reactors). In the previous fiscal year, the Multiphysics Applications Driver Technical Area funded molten salt reactor (MSR) M&S at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to generate multigroup macroscopic cross sections with Shift for a MSRE 2D lattice model in Griffin. In addition, Shift’s capability to calculate gamma dose rates from activated components in the primary exchangers in a molten salt breeder reactor was also demonstrated. In fiscal year 2023, ORNL generated multigroup macroscopic cross sections using Shift for a 3D MSRE core model. MSRE depletion calculations using Griffin were also demonstrated in this fiscal year. For the depletion calculation, one-group microscopic cross sections for the 3D MSRE core were generated using Shift, and the decay transmutation library from ORIGEN was converted to an ISOXML file, which is required as input in Griffin. Several Monte Carlo codes, such as OpenMC and Serpent, were also used to benchmark and supplement multigroup cross sections generated by Shift. Multigroup libraries were generated with 8 and 20 group structures, and the study found the 8-group structure to be more accurate when comparing Griffin results to continuous energy (CE) Monte Carlo results. The average flux from CE Shift calculations is up to ~6% higher than the CE Serpent calculations because of different values applied for the energy released per fission (κ values). The average flux in the fuel salt calculated by Griffin using cross sections generated with Shift agrees well with the reference CE Shift solution; the same is valid for the corresponding Serpent results. The maximum relative error is ~6% and ~2% compared to the CE Shift and Serpent reference solutions, respectively. Meanwhile, the average flux calculated by Griffin in the graphite moderator shows a higher difference in the thermal range when compared to both reference Monte Carlo solutions; this result suggests a need for improvement in cross section generation for the graphite moderator in the thermal range in both Monte Carlo codes. Griffin depletion calculations using cross sections from Shift and Serpent were performed and compared against ORIGEN calculations, and the nuclide densities calculated by Griffin were found to be generally in agreement with those of ORIGEN. Because a different approach was taken to calculate the energy released per fission ( κ values) in Shift and Serpent, a difference in nuclide densities from differences in the average flux was observed between Griffin using Serpent and Shift cross sections. Griffin calculations with Shift cross sections produced higher average flux in the salt than with Serpent cross sections, leading to higher consumption of 235 U and higher production of 135 Xe. For time-dependent depletion calculations, cross sections were generated with Serpent, and Griffin’s results using these cross sections were compared to CE Serpent depletion results, demonstrating good agreement. The average difference in keff between Serpent and Griffin as a function of burnup is about 155 pcm. Similarly, good agreement with small differences up to ~0.5% was also noticed in the nuclide density of 235 U and 135 Xe. More details regarding the methodologies invoked to generate the cross section to make code-to-code comparisons are discussed further in this report. User feedback on Griffin and Shift capabilities that will enhance these calculations is provided in this report for future consideration. The work performed this fiscal year can be extended further for multiphysics coupling of Griffin-Pronghorn/SAM with Mole to study precursor flow and salt chemistry.

Phonons in Copper Diphosphide (CuP 2 ): Raman Spectroscopy and Lattice Dynamics Calculations

Copper diphosphide (CuP 2 ) is an emerging binary semiconductor with promising properties for energy conversion and storage applications. While functionality and possible applications of CuP 2 have been studied, there is a curious gap in the investigation of its vibrational properties. In this work, we provide a reference Raman spectrum of CuP 2 , with a complete analysis of all Raman active modes from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. Raman measurements have been performed on polycrystalline CuP 2 thin films with close to stoichiometric composition. Detailed deconvolution of the Raman spectrum with Lorentzian curves has allowed identification of all theoretically predicted Raman active modes (9A g and 9B g ), including their positions and symmetry assignment. Furthermore, calculations of the phonon density of states (PDOS), as well as the phonon dispersions, provide a microscopic understanding of the experimentally observed phonon lines, in addition to the assignment to the specific lattice eigenmodes. We further provide the theoretically predicted positions of the infrared (IR) active modes, along with the simulated IR spectrum from density functional theory (DFT). Overall good agreement is found between the experimental and DFT-calculated Raman spectra of CuP 2 , providing a reference platform for future investigations on this material.

Integration of a Wigner effect-based energy storage system with an advanced nuclear reactor

In this work, an innovative energy storage concept based on the purposeful creation of defects in crystalline material by neutron irradiation is presented. Lattice defects are generated when heavy particles collide with the atoms in a crystal structure, i.e., if the incoming particles have enough energy, recoil atoms are displaced from their initial lattice sites. Most of the displaced atoms will eventually combine with nearby vacancies, but some of them will come to rest in non-ideal locations. The energy held by displaced atoms is called Wigner energy. Lattice defects can migrate and form clusters, and the Wigner energy can be released from these groupings if sufficient activation energy is provided. In the nuclear industry, this effect is well-known since it represented an issue for graphite-moderated reactors. This work presents the conceptual design of an engineering system that exploits this physical process to store the energy of neutrons in advanced reactor concepts. In the first part of the paper, the theoretical performance of an energy storage system based on the Wigner effect is described. Given the lattice properties and the compatibility with the harsh reactor environment, graphite was selected as the candidate material for the irradiation targets. Both experimental data and molecular dynamics simulations confirmed that this system can achieve performance comparable with state-of-the-art batteries in terms of stored energy density. In the second part of the paper, the engineering challenges of this innovative technology and the proposed solutions are described. After defining the optimal irradiation conditions, the different steps of the operation of the proposed energy system (from energy storing to energy harvesting) were defined. Finally, the integration of this concept with advanced reactor designs, i.e., a Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor and a Molten Salt-cooled Reactor, was investigated and the corresponding performance was evaluated.

Revealing Intermetallic Active Sites of PtNi Nanocatalysts for Reverse Water Gas Shift Reaction

Bimetallic nanoparticles have gained great interest due to their potential applications in catalysis. By combining Lattice Boltzmann Modeling (LBM), Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulation, here we rationalize the superior performance of supported Pt-Ni alloy nanostructures over Pt and Ni alone during the reverse Water Gas Shift (rWGS) reaction, which was observed previously. The LBM simulation including the diffusion and flow of the reacting gas molecules within the supporting nanoporous channels in SBA-15 indicates that the simple combination of contributions from Ni and Pt alone is not enough to result in the observed promotion in rWGS activity and selectivity of the Pt-Ni alloy. Instead, the synergy between Pt and Ni via a unique intermetallic motif is responsible according to the DFT and KMC simulation. In conclusion, compared to the monometallic counterparts, the intermetallic-introduced ensemble effect at the low-coordinated Pt-Ni hybrid site of Pt-Ni alloy nanocatalysts enables the enhanced activation of CO 2 and promoted removal of CO/H 2 O as gas phase product.

Silicon-Lattice-Matched Boron-Doped Gallium Phosphide: A Scalable Acousto-Optic Platform

The compact size, scalability, and strongly confined fields in integrated photonic devices enable new functionalities in photonic networking and information processing, both classical and quantum. Gallium phosphide (GaP) is a promising material for active integrated photonics due to its high refractive index, wide bandgap, strong nonlinear properties, and large acousto-optic figure of merit. Here, this study demonstrates that silicon-lattice-matched boron-doped GaP (BGaP), grown at the 12-inch wafer scale, provides similar functionalities as GaP. BGaP optical resonators exhibit intrinsic quality factors exceeding 25,000 and 200,000 at visible and telecom wavelengths, respectively. It further demonstrates the electromechanical generation of low-loss acoustic waves and an integrated acousto-optic (AO) modulator. High-resolution spatial and compositional mapping, combined with ab initio calculations, indicate two candidates for the excess optical loss in the visible band: the silicon-GaP interface and boron dimers. These results demonstrate the promise of the BGaP material platform for the development of scalable AO technologies at telecom and provide potential pathways toward higher performance at shorter wavelengths.

CeO2 Nanoparticle Doping as a Probe of Active Site Speciation in the Catalytic Hydrolysis of Organophosphates

Organophosphate hydrolysis is important for degrading environmentally harmful compounds and recovering phosphate ions in biological molecules. CeO2 nanocrystals have been well-studied for dephosphorylation via hydrolysis owing to the accessible and tunable distribution of Ce3+ and Ce4+ ions. However, there remains uncertainty in the literature regarding which surface defect properties direct catalytic activity, such as the Ce3+/Ce4+ distribution, oxygen vacancies, faceting, and dopants, and to what degree they contribute to efficient hydrolysis. Trivalent (M3+) dopants serve as a tool for manipulating defects, including the concentration of Ce3+ and oxygen vacancies, thereby influencing the hydrolytic activity of CeO2. Herein, trivalent metal ions (M = Y3+, Cr3+, In3+, and Gd3+) were employed to modulate the active sites on the CeO2 nanocrystal surface, and the effects of each metal dopant on the cerium oxide active sites for organophosphate hydrolysis were investigated. M-doped CeO2 nanoparticles were synthesized via hydrothermal methods, followed by annealing to remove ligands and prime the nanocrystal surface for catalysis. Catalytic performance was evaluated using dimethyl-p¬-nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP) as a model organophosphate substrate, with degradation monitored over time using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy revealed successful doping of CeO2 in all cases, albeit with distinctive characteristics demonstrating how M3+ dopants affect catalysis. We show that CeO2 exhibits high sensitivity to dopants that generate lattice strain, Ce3+ ions, and oxygen vacancy defects. Consequently, achieving high catalytic efficiency within CeO2 requires a balanced active site ensemble, wherein defects are maintained at optimal concentrations and distributions on the nanocrystal surface.

Interfacial Hydrogen-Bond Dynamics in Transition Metal Compounds

Understanding how water behaves when confined within atomic layers of active transition-metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides is essential for uncovering the fundamental principles needed to engineer solid–liquid interfaces at the atomic scale. Yet, how lattice element chemistry and surface termination groups collectively regulate the structure and mobility of such interlayer water remains poorly understood. Here, we present a composition-controlled investigation of interlayer water dynamics in layered transition-metal nitride, carbide, and carbonitride systems using a systematic integration of quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS), ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. QENS measurements show that nitride-rich systems host mobile, translationally diffusing water with thermally activated self-diffusion coefficients on the order of 10 –10 m 2 s –1 , whereas mixed C/N lattices confine water to localized, nontranslational motion that is insensitive to temperature. AIMD and DFT reveal that lattice C/N chemistry and surface functional group composition reshape the first hydration layer by modulating the surface electronic structure and termination-dependent hydrogen-bond networks, leading to pronounced differences in water ordering and thermal resilience. On the other hand, fully carbide systems exhibit intermediate behavior, highlighting that water mobility is not primarily controlled by the hydration level alone but by the coupling between lattice composition and surface chemistry. Overall, this study establishes how surface chemistry and lattice composition jointly control interfacial hydrogen bond dynamics, offering a mechanistic framework for designing transition-metal layered materials with tailored interfacial transport properties.

Electrical Analysis of Pulsed Laser Annealed Poly-Si: Ga/SiOx Passivating Contacts

In this contribution, we examine Ga hyper-doped poly-Si/SiOx contacts realized by pulsed laser melting (PLM). Here, we use Ga as a novel p-type dopant and B as a conventional dopant to induce non-equilibrium doping using an excimer laser. We perform simulations to visualize the maximum melt depth profiles within the poly-Si, with a goal of distributing dopants close to the tunneling oxide, but at the same time preserving the passivation. Hall measurements show that sheet resistance for B is lower than Ga due to its higher solid solubility limit in Si. After comparing the Hall active dopant concentration with the chemical concentration obtained by SIMS measurement, we show nearly 100% activation B activation reaching 10^21 cm-3, while only ~20% activation for Ga. Nevertheless, we achieve active doping concentrations of Ga in poly-Si six times higher than its solid solubility limit in Si (~10^19 cm-3). We compare our Hall mobilities with values in the literature for c-Si and show that B mobilities in laser-treated poly-Si are close to that of the literature value for B, while Ga mobilities are lower, possibly due to additional scattering channels within grain boundaries and deformed lattice. We also compare our results on PLM samples with conventional furnace annealed samples, and we show much higher percent activation and mobilities. Previously, we showed a low contact resistivity of 35.5 +/- 2.4 m..omega..cm2. Here, we further confirm this result by scanning spreading resistance microscopy and Kelvin force nanoprobe microscopy. We demonstrate that our poly-Si: Ga/nCz contact exhibits large drift and diffusion currents under normal cell operating voltage, which widens the laser processing window for a good metal/poly-Si/c-Si contact.

Hydrogen effects on the deformation and slip localization in a single crystal austenitic stainless steel

Hydrogen is known to embrittle austenitic stainless steels, which are widely used in high-pressure hydrogen storage and delivery systems, but the mechanisms that lead to such material degradation are still being elucidated. The current work investigates the deformation behavior of single crystal austenitic stainless steel 316L through combined uniaxial tensile testing, characterization and atomistic simulations. Thermally precharged hydrogen is shown to increase the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) without previously reported deviations from Schmid’s law. Molecular dynamics simulations further expose the statistical nature of the hydrogen and vacancy contributions to the CRSS in the presence of alloying. Slip distribution quantification over large in-plane distances (> 1 mm), achieved via atomic force microscopy (AFM), highlights the role of hydrogen increasing the degree of slip localization in both single and multiple slip configurations. The most active slip bands accumulate significantly more deformation in hydrogen precharged specimens, with potential implications for damage nucleation. For $\langle$110$\rangle$ tensile loading, slip localization further enhances the activity of secondary slip, increases the density of geometrically necessary dislocations and leads to a distinct lattice rotation behavior compared to hydrogen-free specimens, as evidenced by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) maps. Finally, the results of this study provide a more comprehensive picture of the deformation aspect of hydrogen embrittlement in austenitic stainless steels.

Optical Properties of Neutral F Centers in Bulk MgO with Density Matrix Embedding

The optical spectra of neutral oxygen vacancies (F 0 centers) in the bulk MgO lattice are investigated using density matrix embedding theory. The impurity Hamiltonian is solved with the complete active space self-consistent field and second-order n-electron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT2-DMET) multireference methods. Here, to estimate defect-localized vertical excitation energies at the nonembedding and thermodynamic limits, a double extrapolation scheme is employed. The extrapolated NEVPT2-DMET vertical excitation energy value of 5.24 eV agrees well with the experimental absorption maxima at 5.03 eV, whereas the excitation energy value of 2.89 eV at the relaxed triplet defect-localized state geometry overestimates the experimental emission at 2.4 eV by only nearly 0.5 eV, indicating the involvement of the triplet–singlet decay pathway.

High-Performance Titanium Oxynitride Thin Films for Electrocatalytic Water Oxidation

TiN x O y (TiNO) thin films with superior electrochemical properties have been synthesized in situ using a pulsed laser deposition method and a varied oxygen partial pressure from 5 to 25 mTorr. In this study, the electrochemical overpotential of these TiNO films for water oxidation was found to be as low as 290 mV at 10 mA/cm 2 , which is among the lowest overpotential values reported. The Tafel slopes, indicative of a rate of increase of electrode potential with respect to current, for these films are determined to be in the range of 85–57 mV/decade. These results further demonstrate the superiority of TiNO thin film as electrocatalyst for water oxidation to generate fossil-free fuels. The improvement in the electrocatalytic behavior of the semiconducting TiNO thin films is explained based on an adjustment in the valence band maximum edge and an enhancement in the number of electrochemically active sites. Both effects are realized by the substitution of N by O, forming a TiNO lattice that is isostructural with the rock-salt TiN lattice. These findings appear to assume significant importance in light of water electrolysis to produce fuels for the development of environmentally friendly power sources.

Impacts of vacancy-induced polarization and distortion on diffusion in Solid Electrolyte Li 3 OCl

We report that Lithium-rich oxychloride antiperovskites are promising solid electrolytes for enabling next-generation batteries. Here, we report a comprehensive study varying Li + concentrations in Li 3 OCl using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations accurately capture the complex interactions between Li + vacancies (V$^'_{Li}$), the dominant mobile species in Li 3 OCl. The V$^'_{Li}$ polarize and distort the host lattice, inducing additional non-vacancy-mediated diffusion mechanisms and correlated diffusion events that reduce the activation energy barrier at concentrations as low as 1.5% V$^'_{Li}$. Our analyses of discretized diffusion events in both space and time illustrate the critical interplay between correlated dynamics, polarization and local distortion in promoting ionic conductivity in Li 3 OCl.

Progress in the development of the community Particle Accelerator Lattice Standard (PALS)

The Particle Accelerator Lattice Standard (PALS) is a community effort to create an open standard to promote lattice information exchange for particle accelerators. PALS development is a community-wide international effort involving accelerator physicists from multiple institutions. While it started as a lattice standard for beam dynamics simulations, it is now being extended to support other particle accelerator activities, in particular accelerator operation. With new accelerators that are becoming more complex, larger collaborations and the increasing imprint of artificial intelligence in all accelerator activities (from design to operation to workforce development), the imperative for a common, standardized accelerator ontology has been transitioning from “nice-to-have” to “must-have”. We will present the status of the project, its relations to other projects, including to two of the particle accelerator projects of the newly announced US DOE Genesis Mission: the Multi-Office Accelerator Team (MOAT) project and the Nuclear physics AI-Ready Accelerator Data (NARAD) project.

Modeling Electrokinetics of Oxygen Electrodes in Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cells

A microscale model is presented in this study to simulate electrode kinetics of the oxygen electrode in a solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC). Two mixed ionic/electronic conducting structures are examined for the oxygen producing electrode in this work: single layer porous lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite (LSCF), and bilayer LSCF/SCT (strontium cobalt tantalum oxide) structures. A yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte separates the hydrogen and oxygen electrodes, as well as a gadolinium doped-ceria (GDC) buffer layer on the oxygen electrode side. Electrochemical reactions occurring at the two-phase boundaries (2PBs) and three-phase boundaries (3PBs) of single-layer LSCF and bilayer LSCF/SCT oxygen electrodes are modeled under various SOEC voltages with lattice oxygen stoichiometry as the key output. The results reveal that there exists a competition in electrode kinetics between 2PBs and 3PBs, but 3PBs are the primary reactive sites for single-layer LSCF oxygen electrode under high voltages. These locations experience the greatest oxygen stoichiometry variations and are therefore the most likely locations for dimensional changes. By applying an active SCT layer over LSCF, the 2PBs become activated to compete with the 3PBs, thus alleviating oxygen stoichiometry variations and reducing the likelihood of dimensional change. This strategy could reduce lattice structural expansion, proving to be valuable for electrode-electrolyte delamination prevention and will be the focus of future work.

Current understanding of Oxidative Coupling of Methane (OCM) reaction over supported Mn-Na 2 WO 4 catalysts

This perspective reviews the current understanding of the Oxidative Coupling of Methane (OCM) reaction over the supported Mn-Na 2 WO 4 /SiO 2 catalyst, with a focus on recent insights gained from state-of-the-art in-situ and operando spectroscopic characterization and chemical probe experiments under controlled environments. The supported Mn-Na 2 WO 4 /SiO 2 catalyst exhibits dynamic structural changes during the OCM reaction, involving multiple reactive lattice and adsorbed oxygen species, each associated with different oxide phases. These oxygen species play distinct roles in various steps of the OCM mechanism. The catalytic active sites for activation of CH 4 are associated with isolated surface Na-WO x sites on the SiO 2 support and the role of surface MnO x sites on SiO 2 is to oxidatively dehydrogenate C 2 H 6 to C 2 H 4 . Furthermore, this paper provides a detailed discussion of these roles and also introduces new experimental data from Temporal Analysis of Products (TAP) studies to clarify the ongoing debate in the literature regarding the contributions of lattice versus adsorbed oxygen species in OCM reaction product formation. Additionally, recommendations are offered for optimizing the performance of supported Mn-Na 2 WO 4 /SiO 2 catalysts to enhance CH 4 activation and C 2 product selectivity.
