Analyzing Next-Generation Supply Chains Using the Materials Flows through Industry Tool

The Materials Flows through Industry (MFI) tool is a supply chain modeling tool developed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) with funding from the Department of Energy's Advanced Manufacturing Office. MFI was created to identify and analyze opportunities to reduce the energy and carbon intensities of the U.S. industrial sector (Hanes and Carpenter 2017). In this work, we present an overview of the MFI tool's structure and capabilities, as well as the results of using MFI to analyze a novel NREL-developed process to 'upcycle' PET plastic into higher-value composite materials (Rorrer et al. 2019). This process combines recycled PET (rPET) plastic with inputs that can be derived from biomass, including muconic acid, acrylic acid, and ethylene glycol, to chemically break down the plastic back to its monomers in a process called glycolization. Then, repolymerization and the application of fiberglass yields the valuable glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composite, a performance material used in the manufacture of wind turbine blades, boat hulls, and other applications. This rPET-derived GFRP was found to have superior strength and fiberglass adhesion compared to conventional GFRP formulations. Our findings indicate that this GFRP production process, were it to be widely commercialized beyond its current lab-scale, could potentially reduce the fossil energy intensity of the GFRP supply chain by between 37% and 58% compared to the conventional method of GFRP manufacture from fossil-derived inputs. We also estimate potential supply chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions between 30% and 40% from this process. Scaling these GHG offset estimates up to annual GFRP production in the U.S. would be roughly equivalent to removing between 150,000 and 200,000 vehicles from U.S. roads. These ranges of impact estimates represent the range of differences associated with the various economic allocation methods we have assumed for the intensity contributions from the first life of the PET plastic. Following Shen et al. (2010), we derive economic allocation factors from the current price ratios of clear- and green-colored recycled PET plastic to virgin PET resin ('waste-valuation' approach) or assume them to be zero in a more simplistic allocation ('cutoff' approach). Future work involving the MFI modeling tool will also be discussed, including preliminary results comparing the energy intensity of conventional and bio-based nylons manufacturing. Attendees will also be encouraged to conduct MFI supply chain modeling of their own by requesting a user account on the MFI web application, which is freely available to the public at the following address: https://mfitool.nrel.gov.

Electrical Properties of Carbon Dioxide Hydrate: Implications for Monitoring CO 2 in the Gas Hydrate Stability Zone

CO 2 and CH 4 clathrate hydrates are of keen interest for energy and carbon cycle considerations. While both typically form on Earth as cubic structure I (sI), we find that pure CO 2 hydrate exhibits over an order of magnitude higher electrical conductivity ( σ ) than pure CH 4 hydrate at geologically relevant temperatures. In this study, the conductivity was obtained from frequency-dependent impedance ( Z ) measurements made on polycrystalline CO 2 hydrate (CO 2 ·6.0 ± 0.2H 2 O by methods here) with 25% gas-filled porosity, compared with CH 4 hydrate (CH 4 ·5.9H 2 O) formed and measured in the same apparatus and exhibiting closely matching grain characteristics. The conductivity of CO 2 hydrate is 6.5 × 10 –4 S/m at 273K with an activation energy ( E a ) of 46.5 kJ/mol at 260–281 K, compared with ~5 × 10 –5 S/m and 34.8 kJ/m for CH 4 hydrate. Equivalent circuit modeling indicates that different pathways govern conduction in CO 2 versus CH 4 hydrate. Results show promise for use of electromagnetic methods in monitoring CO 2 hydrate formation in certain natural settings or in CO 2 /CH 4 exchange efforts.

Predicting effective thermal and elastic properties of cementitious composites containing polydispersed hollow and core-shell micro-particles

Micro- and nano-sized hollow and core-shell particles (CSPs) have attracted tremendous interests in developing functional cementitious composites and concretes. In this paper, a general method is developed to predict the thermal and elastic properties of cementitious composites containing core-shell and hollow micro-particles. The model follows a two-stage homogenization process – CSP inclusions together with their surrounding interfacial transition zone (ITZ) are first treated as equivalent solid particles, and then the homogenized properties of the composite system are obtained using numerical (i.e., finite element) or analytical (Mori-Tanaka) approaches. Compared with other homogenization methods, the proposed model is easy-to-use and versatile. The numerical model, validated by experimental results, is then used to guide the design of functional cementitious composites. The results show that CSP particle size (or relative shell thickness), volume fraction, shell property, and the size of the ITZ have significant impacts on the effective thermal and elastic properties of cementitious composites; whereas the particle size distribution pattern has relatively minor influence. In addition, the effective property of the composite is more sensitive to the particle property change when CSP inclusions are much stiffer or more thermally conductive than the matrix. Lastly, a scoping study is conducted to elucidate the relationship between the effective thermal conductivity and effective elastic moduli for cementitious composites containing CSP additives with different shell materials, particle sizes, and volume concentrations etc.

Treating random sequential addition via the replica method

While many physical processes are non-equilibrium in nature, the theory and modeling of such phenomena lag behind theoretical treatments of equilibrium systems. The diversity of powerful theoretical tools available to describe equilibrium systems has inspired strategies that map non-equilibrium systems onto equivalent equilibrium analogs so that interrogation with standard statistical mechanical approaches is possible. In this work, we revisit the mapping from the non-equilibrium random sequential addition process onto an equilibrium multi-component mixture via the replica method, allowing for theoretical predictions of non-equilibrium structural quantities. We validate the above approach by comparing the theoretical predictions to numerical simulations of random sequential addition.

Finite-Difference Simulation for Infrasound Generated by Finite-Extent Ground Motions

Underground explosions can produce infrasound in the atmosphere, and the wavefield characteristics are often governed by the ground surface motions. Finite-difference methods are popular for infrasound simulation as their generality and robustness allow for complex atmospheric structures and surface topography. A simple point-source approximation is often used because infrasound wavelengths tend to be large relative to the source dimensions. However, this assumption may not be able to capture the complexity of explosion-induced ground motions if the surface area is not compact, and appropriate source models must be incorporated into the finite-difference simulations for accurate infrasound prediction. In this study, we develop a point source representation of the complex ground motions for infrasound sources. Instead of a single point source, we use a series of point sources distributed over the source area. These distributed point sources can be equivalent to air volume changes produced by the ground motions in the atmosphere. Further, we apply the distributed point-source method to a series of buried chemical explosions conducted during the Source Physics Experiment Phase I. Epicentral ground-motion measurements during the experiments provide a way to calculate accurate distributed point sources. We validate and evaluate the accuracy of distributed point source approach for infrasound simulations by direct comparison with acoustic observations in the field experiment.

A Unified Analytical Method Greenness Score ( uAMGS ) Quantifies How Microscopic Imaging Is Greener Than Conventional Liquid Chromatography

Green chemistry is a set of principles for assessing, developing, and implementing methods that are safer, more efficient, and less detrimental to the environment. The analytical method greenness score (AMGS) is one of many metrics that attempt to evaluate traditional liquid chromatography (LC) based on the energy consumption of the instrument and the safety, health risks, and environmental impact of the solvents employed. Unfortunately, in practice, the AMGS is primarily focused on traditional separation methods in the pharmaceutical industry and is not amenable to cutting-edge separation science, including miniaturization. To broaden this scope, the unified Analytical Method Greenness Score (uAMGS) is presented here, which clarifies and expands on the underlying mathematics and incorporates both dimensional and uncertainty analysis, enabling its application to a broader range of analytical techniques. The uAMGS is used to compare the greenness of two distinct methods: single-molecule microscopy (SMM) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which were used to collect equivalent data. uAMGS determines that SMM is significantly greener than HPLC due primarily to decreased solvent consumption. Overall, the uAMGS should allow chemists ranging from undergraduates to industrial PhDs to assess the greenness of a wide range of separations.

Remote Sensing Improves Multi‐Hazard Flooding and Extreme Heat Detection by Fivefold Over Current Estimates

The co‐occurrence of multiple hazards is of growing concern globally as the frequency and magnitude of extreme climate events increases. Despite studies examining the spatial distribution of such events, there has been little work in examining if all relevant life threatening and damaging hazards are captured in existing hazard databases and by common hazard metrics. For example, local/regional flash flooding events are seldom captured by optical satellite instruments and are subsequently excluded from global hazard databases. Similarly, the heat hazard definitions most frequently used in multi‐hazard studies inherently fail to capture events that are life‐threatening but climatologically within an expected range. Our goal is to determine the potential for increasing multi‐hazard event detection capabilities by inferring additional hazard footprints from widely accessible satellite data. We use daily precipitation and temperature satellite data to develop an open‐source framework that infers additional hazard footprints that are not included in traditional methods. With the state of Texas as our study area, we detected 2.5 times as many flood hazards, equivalent to $320 million in property and crop damages. Furthermore, our expanded heat hazard definition increases the impacted area by 56.6%, equivalent to 91.5 million km 2 over an 18 year period. Increasing hazard detection capabilities and expanding existing definitions of hazards using daily satellite data increases the temporal and spatial resolutions at which multi‐hazard events are detected. Having more complete data sets of all relevant hazard extents improves our ability to track global trends and more accurately determine the magnitude of hazard exposure inequities.

Impact of Blast Overpressure on the Pharmacokinetics of Various Antibiotics in Sprague Dawley Rats

ABSTRACT Introduction Combat injuries are complex and multimodal. Most injuries to the extremities occur because of explosive devices such as improvised explosive devices. Blast exposure dramatically increases the risk of infection in combat wounds, and there is limited available information on the best antibiotic treatments for these injuries. We previously demonstrated that mice exposed to blast displayed a delayed clearance of cefazolin from the plasma and liver; further semi-mechanistic modeling determined that cefazolin concentrations in the skin of these mice were reduced. Our objective was to investigate the effects of blast on the pharmacokinetics of antibiotics of different types used for the treatment of combat wounds in the rat model. Materials and Methods Male Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to blast overpressure followed by injection of a bolus of animal equivalent doses of an antibiotic (cefazolin, cefepime, ertapenem, or clindamycin) into the tail vein at 1-hour post-blast exposure. Blood was collected at predetermined time points via repeated sampling from the tail vein. Animals were also euthanized at predetermined time points, at which time liver, kidney, skin, and blood via cardiac puncture were collected. Antibiotic concentrations were determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Results Blast-exposed rats exhibited a similar rate of clearance compared to non-blasted rats in the blood, liver, kidney, and skin, which is inconsistent with the data regarding cefazolin in blast-exposed mice. Conclusions Our results in rats do not recapitulate our previous observation of delayed cefazolin clearance in mice following the blast overpressure exposure. Although using rats permitted us to collect multiple blood samples from the same animals, rats may not be a suitable model for measuring the pharmacokinetics of antibiotics following blast. The interpretation of the results may be challenging because of variation in data among rat subjects in the same sample groups.

Measurement-informed Dynamic Aggregation of Distribution Systems

This paper proposes a measurement-informed dynamic aggregation methodology in order to create equivalent representations of distribution systems that are compatible with large-scale transmission analysis. By optimizing an equivalent feeder parameters using time-series measurements of active power, reactive power, and voltage at the Point of Interconnection (POI), the approach yields simplified yet dynamically accurate equivalents. Implemented in PSCAD with models of photovoltaic–battery systems, three-phase motors, and static loads, the method employs hybrid differential evolution and bounded least-squares optimization laying the foundation for for real-time state estimation and optimized sensor placement in distribution networks.

A novel equivalent circuit for GDC-based solid oxide cells considering the variations of cell resistances under load

Regarding the mixed ionic-electronic conductive electrolytes, there are several constant assumptions about cell resistances and transference numbers. In this work, the charge transport frameworks of mixed conductive SOCs are comprehensively illustrated. And the independent external current density is introduced into the equivalent circuit for considering the variations of cell resistances under load. The updated expressions of cell resistances together with transference numbers are deduced rigorously based on the equivalent circuit. Electrolyte-supported NiO-GDC/GDC/LSCF cells are tested, and the experimental results validate the variations of cell resistances, especially for the polarization resistance. The comparisons show that electron hole resistances together with transference number calculated by the updated expressions are larger than those obtained by Liu’s method. More accurate transference number and cell resistances under load can be achieved by using the proposed method in this study.

Preliminary Analysis of Source Physics Experiment Explosion-Triggered Microseismicity Using the Back-Projection Method

A series of four chemical explosions were detonated in a deep borehole within the Yucca Flat Dry Alluvium Geology (DAG) at the Nevada National Security Site between 2018 and 2019. The two larger chemical explosions of 50 tons (DAG-2) and 10 tons (DAG-4) TNT equivalent yield triggered energetic aftershock sequences numbering 1392 and 347 microearthquakes, respectively, within the first 10 days. No significant aftershock activity was observed for the two smaller 1-ton explosions (DAG-1 and DAG-3). Here, we used a back-projection method based on travel-time migration and stacking of signal-to-noise ratio traces to detect, associate and locate aftershocks from a subset of 22-geophones within a larger 2 urn:x-wiley:21699313:media:jgrb54910:jgrb54910-math-0001 2 km seismic array surrounding the borehole. The aftershocks located within 300 m of the borehole and the depths were above the working points of 300 and 50 m depths of DAG-2 and DAG-4, respectively, ruling out triggering slip on geologic faults or disturbances beneath neighboring collapse craters. DAG-2 and DAG-4 aftershocks decayed at similar rates, with power-law exponents of p = 1.48 and p = 1.49, respectively. These decay rates are comparable to aftershocks sequences triggered by earthquakes and historical nuclear explosions at Yucca Flat. A smooth power-law aftershock decay within the first 10 days suggests a triggering mechanism from explosion generated stress relaxation due to the diffusion of high gas pressures in the cavity and radial fractures. A more random and episodic aftershock rate would be expected due to cavity collapse or falling rubble in chimney formation.

Generalized moving least squares vs. radial basis function finite difference methods for approximating surface derivatives

Approximating differential operators defined on two-dimensional surfaces is an important problem that arises in many areas of science and engineering. Over the past ten years, localized meshfree methods based on generalized moving least squares (GMLS) and radial basis function finite differences (RBF-FD) have been shown to be effective for this task as they can give high orders of accuracy at low computational cost, and they can be applied to surfaces defined only by point clouds. However, there have yet to be any studies that perform a direct comparison of these methods for approximating surface differential operators (SDOs). The first purpose of this work is to fill that gap. For this comparison, we focus on an RBF-FD method based on polyharmonic spline kernels and polynomials (PHS+Poly) since they are most closely related to the GMLS method. Additionally, we use a relatively new technique for approximating SDOs with RBF-FD called the tangent plane method since it is simpler than previous techniques and natural to use with PHS+Poly RBF-FD. Further, the second purpose of this work is to relate the tangent plane formulation of SDOs to the local coordinate formulation used in GMLS and to show that they are equivalent when the tangent space to the surface is known exactly. The final purpose is to use ideas from the GMLS SDO formulation to derive a new RBF-FD method for approximating the tangent space for a point cloud surface when it is unknown. For the numerical comparisons of the methods, we examine their convergence rates for approximating the surface gradient, divergence, and Laplacian as the point clouds are refined for various parameter choices. We also compare their efficiency in terms of accuracy per computational cost, both when including and excluding setup costs.

Measuring the flatband potential in 2D semiconductors: Pitfalls and a possible SECCM solution

The flatband potential (V fb ) is a critical parameter in semiconductor electrochemistry, defining the potential at which no excess charge exists at the semiconductor/electrolyte interface. It serves as a key reference for interpreting charge transfer kinetics and current–voltage behavior. However, conventional methods like Mott–Schottky analysis fail for atomically thin 2D materials due to the breakdown of the depletion approximation. This perspective examines the limitations of traditional V fb measurements for 2D semiconductors and the experimental challenges that arise. To address these issues, we propose using scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) to spatially resolve the potential of zero charge (V pzc ), equivalent to V fb . This approach mitigates sample heterogeneity issues, such as pinholes or multilayer defects, and offers a pathway to more accurate electrochemical characterization. Ultimately, this method will enhance understanding of current–potential behavior in 2D materials, supporting the design of advanced systems for photoelectrocatalysis, energy conversion, and sensing.

Polyoxometalates as ligands to synthesize, isolate and characterize compounds of rare isotopes on the microgram scale

The synthesis and study of radioactive compounds are both inherently limited by their toxicity, cost and isotope scarcity. Traditional methods using small inorganic or organic complexes typically require milligrams of sample—per attempt—which for some isotopes is equivalent to the world’s annual supply. Here we demonstrate that polyoxometalates (POMs) enable the facile formation, crystallization, handling and detailed characterization of metal–ligand complexes from microgram quantities owing to their high molecular weight and controllable solubility properties. Three curium–POM complexes were prepared, using just 1–10 μg per synthesis of the rare isotope 248 Cm 3+ , and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, showing an eight-coordinated Cm 3+ centre. Moreover, spectrophotometric, fluorescence, NMR and Raman analyses of several f-block element–POM complexes, including 243 Am 3+ and 248 Cm 3+ , showed otherwise unnoticeable differences between their solution versus solid-state chemistry, and actinide versus lanthanide behaviour. Furthermore, this POM-driven strategy represents a viable path to isolate even rarer complexes, notably with actinium or transcalifornium elements.

Power Flow Models of Grid-Forming Inverters in Unbalanced Distribution Grids

Load unbalance in electric distribution systems is unavoidable. Unbalanced load currents will lead to negative sequence (NS) voltages that may damage electric equipment. Unbalanced power flow analysis is a common tool to detect and mitigate NS voltage issues and requires accurate models of grid components. While traditional source models are available, grid-forming (GFM) inverter models are not well developed. GFM inverters implement various control strategies, which affect their power flow models. Here, in this paper, a novel GFM inverter model considering control effects is proposed. We show that for some control methods, unbalanced system loading will lead to unbalanced terminal voltages of the GFM inverters, which are modeled through an equivalent negative sequence impedance. The proposed models are initially validated using a simple test circuit. Then, they are applied in the power flow analysis on the IEEE 13-bus and 34-bus systems to demonstrate the accuracy improvement over the state-of-the-art. Using time-domain simulations as benchmarks, we show that the proposed models reduce the calculation error of negative sequence voltages by at least 25% in unbalanced distribution systems.

0D Modeling of Reactor Networks Within Zuzax

We report on progress in developing macroscopic balance equations for combustion and electrochemistry systems. A steady state solution capability is described for the macroscopic reactor network, with an associated steady state continuation method and solution storage capability added in. An example is provided of continuation of a hydrogen flame versus the equivalence ratio. The reactor modeling capability is extended to charged fluid systems, with a description of the new ChargedFluidReactor, SubstrateElement, and MetalCurrentElement reactor classes and novel setup of unknowns within these reactors that preserve charge neutrality. Zuzax's setup for electrochemistry is explained including the specification of the electron chemical potential and the adherence to the SHE Reference electrode specification. The description of the different ways to enter electrochemical reaction rates are described, contrasted, and their derivations with respect to one another are derived. An example of using the ChargedFluidReactor within corrosion problems is provided. We present a description of calculations to understand the phenomena of corrosion of copper from a micron sized droplet of NaCl water droplet, where secondary spreading occurs. An analysis of the discrepancies with experiment is carried out, demonstrating that macroscopic balances can be an important tool for understanding what major factors need to be addressed for a better understanding of a physical system.

Decentralized Data-Driven Estimation of Generator Rotor Speed and Inertia Constant Based on Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter

This paper proposes an online decentralized and data-driven method for synchronous generator rotor speed and inertia estimation. First, an analytical relationship between the generator terminal voltage/current phasors and its internal rotor speed is derived using the Thevenin equivalent. The parameters of the latter are obtained via a recursive estimator, which allows us to estimate the generator's internal rotor speed from voltage/current phasors without the need for any generator information. Second, we reformulate the equivalent swing equation into the Kalman filter form, which enables us to use a priori-estimated internal rotor speed along with measured real and reactive power injections to obtain an estimate of the inertia for each online synchronous generator. This is achieved through an adaptive unscented Kalman filter. We demonstrate that the use of terminal bus frequency to approximate the rotor speed for inertia estimation by existing methods leads to large estimation biases/errors. Numerical simulations carried out on the IEEE 39-bus and Texas 2000-bus systems reveal that our proposed method is consistently more accurate than existing methods. Moreover, our proposed method is insensitive to both the type and location of system disturbances, and it is robust to different levels of measurement noise.

Machine Learning Approaches to Predicting Induced Seismicity and Imaging Geothermal Reservoir Properties

This project developed machine learning (ML) methods, lab data sets, and field data to advance geothermal exploration and geothermal energy production. The work had three focus areas. One involved the development of ML methods to use microearthquakes (MEQs) for imaging geothermal reservoir properties and improving subsurface characterization – most importantly the evolution of permeability within the evolving reservoir. This part of the work included development of ML approaches for automated MEQ location, focal mechanism determination and identification of earthquake precursors. The second area focused on using MEQ signals generated by geothermal exploration and production to predict the relationship between fluid injection and seismicity. Here, we extended to reservoir scale our success in using ML to predict laboratory earthquakes and fault zone stress state. The third focus area was on lab experiments. Here, we developed new ML models for lab earthquake prediction and identification of precursors to failure to improve earthquake forecasting and early warning in geothermal settings. Major outcomes of our work include ML models that learn from MEQ signals during geothermal exploration and production to predict induced seismicity. MEQs occur naturally in connection with drilling and energy production. We developed ML methods to use the seismic waves from these events to characterize the elastic, hydraulic and poromechanical properties of reservoirs. Our work illuminated fracture geometry and the evolution of fracture permeability by incorporating seismic coda wave analysis and ML methods to relate fluid injection and seismicity. We significantly expanded laboratory earthquake prediction to include methods that use both passive measurements of microearthquakes within the lab fault zones and also active source acoustic measurements of fault zone elastic properties. These methods can now predict fault zone stress state, time to failure and the magnitude of lab earthquakes. Our work showed that repetitive stick- slip failure events during frictional sliding (the lab equivalent of earthquakes) are preceded by a cascade of micro-failure events that radiate energy in a manner that foretells unstable failure – manifest as laboratory MEQs. We documented a mapping between fracture properties and statistical attributes of elastic radiation. We extended existing works to geothermal reservoir scale and developed ML methods to determine reservoir permeability, fracture properties, and their evolution during geothermal energy production. An attractive feature of ML algorithms is their ability to handle big datasets and reveal patterns and correlations that may remain invisible to conventional analyses. Our work connected data from field, laboratory and intermediate scales to study permeability, stress, strength, fracture stiffness and geometry. At the field scale we used data from the Newberry Volcano field site, UtahFORGE, EGS Collab, and also the Bedretto underground research lab in Switzerland. These data sets are bridging the gap between the lab scale, theory, and reservoir scale. Our work produced plain language summaries to improve public understanding of DOE research. We also developed openly distributed ML and seismicity datasets for use by all researchers and we published connections between induced seismicity in geothermal areas and reservoir properties including permeability, fracture properties, and stress state. Our models are designed for the large data sets of induced seismicity typically associated with geothermal sites. We produced labeled event catalogs and used them on geothermal data to assess how ML can facilitate geothermal production and exploration. All datasets are available on the GDR Productivity: The project produced 32 publications in peer reviewed journals (two are in review). It supported the work of 6 PhD students, 40 conference presentations, 6 keynote talks at national meetings, and mentoring and professional development for 4 postdoctoral fellows.
