Task 12 PV Sustainability - Mineral Resource Use Footprints of Residential PV Systems

Resource use intensity is often mentioned as one of the main characteristics of PV systems and PV electricity. Recently, the International Energy Agency published a report on the role of critical minerals in clean energy transitions. The Product Environmental Footprint pilot study on PV electricity quantified (among other environmental impacts) its abiotic depletion potential. So far, a comprehensive assessment of resource use impacts highlighting the different facets of its impacts is however lacking. For the first time, the resource use impacts of PV electricity are quantified simultaneously with four impact category indicators recommended or suggested by the Life Cycle Initiative hosted at UN Environment. The indicators cover distinctly different aspects of resource use, namely resource depletion with the Abiotic Depletion Potential, ultimate reserves (ADP UR ), economic resource scarcity with the Abiotic Depletion Potential, economic reserves (ADP ER ), resource quality with the Surplus Ore Potential, Ultimate Recoverable Resources (SOP URR ) and re-source criticality with the ESSENZ method. The resource use impacts caused from the generation of 1 kWh electricity with a residential scale photovoltaic (PV) system installed in Central Europe using mono- and multi-crystalline silicon panels and CdTe panels, respectively are quantified. The product system includes manufacture, use and end of life treatment (take back and recycling) of the PV panels, cabling, inverter and supporting structure, the supply chains of the raw materials and energy used in PV panel and inverter manufacture as well as transport logistics.

Equation of State of CO 2 Shock Compressed to 1 TPa

Equation-of-state (pressure, density, temperature, internal energy) and reflectivity measurements on shock-compressed CO 2 at and above the insulating-to-conducting transition reveal new insight into the chemistry of simple molecular systems in the warm-dense-matter regime. CO 2 samples were precompressed in diamond-anvil cells to tune the initial densities from 1.35 g/cm 3 (liquid) to 1.74 g/cm 3 (solid) at room temperature and were then shock compressed up to 1 TPa and 93 000 K. Lastly, variation in initial density was leveraged to infer thermodynamic derivatives including specific heat and Gruneisen coefficient, exposing a complex bonded and moderately ionized state at the most extreme conditions studied.

Prediction of O and OH Adsorption on Transition Metal Oxide Surfaces from Bulk Descriptors

In the search for stable and active catalysts, density functional theory and machine learning (ML) based models can accelerate the screening of materials. While stability is conveniently addressed on the bulk level of computation, the modelling of catalytic activity requires expensive surface simulations. Here, in this work, we develop models for the surface adsorption energy of O and OH intermediates across a consistent and extensive dataset of pure transition metal oxide surfaces. We show that adsorption energies across metal oxidation states of +2 to +6 are well captured from the metal-oxygen bond strength extracted from the bulk level calculation. Specifically, we calculate the integrated crystal orbital Hamiltonian population (ICOHP) of the metal-oxygen bond in the bulk oxide and employ a simple normalization scheme to obtain a strong correlation with adsorption energetics. By combining our ICOHP descriptor with non DFT features in a Gaussian Process regression (GPR) model, we achieve high model accuracy with mean absolute errors of 0.166 and 0.219 eV for OH and O adsorption, respectively. By targeting the O-OH adsorption energy difference with our GPR model, we predict the the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity from bulk descriptors only. Furthermore, we utilize the strong correlation between the COHP and metal oxygen bond lengths to rapidly predict adsorption energetics and catalytic activity from the optimized bulk geometry. Our approach can enable an efficient search for active catalysts by eliminating the need for surface calculations in the initial screening phase.

Dynamical Aspects of the Quark Gluon Plasma

Shortly after the Big Bang the entire universe was filled with a nearly perfect fluid known as the Quark Gluon Plasma. Relativistic heavy ion collisions can now reproduce this fluid in the laboratory where the Quark Gluon Plasma exhibits a rapid but smooth cross-over phase transition into hadrons at vanishing net-baryon densities. Recent experiments plan to explore finite baryon densities where a critical point is expected. If found, this would mark the first discovery of a critical point in a relativistic system described by a fundamental theory of nature, which would have far-reaching consequences for high-energy nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics (such as in neutron star mergers). Characteristic temperatures of equilibrium (e.g. the inflection point of the entropy density) and transport coefficients (e.g. minimum of the shear viscosity over entropy density) vary widely at a cross-over phase transition but converge at a critical point, and extracting the behavior of these characteristic temperatures is a major focal point of this research. Specifically, the interplay between strange and light hadrons is exploited to study the flavor hierarchy in the cross-over region. To investigate this, a viscous relativistic hydrodynamics framework with two conserved charges is being developed into a new open-source code along with initial conditions that contain baryon number and strangeness. Flow observables sensitive to the equation of state and transport coefficients are calculated across beam energies. New techniques are being developed to study this flavor hierarchy from first principles and to extract the characteristic temperatures from experimental data. Through this new dynamical framework, this project provides essential guidance to the Beam Energy Scan II runs at Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider and the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research facility in the search for the Quantum Chromodynamic critical point and subsequent investigation of the baryon-rich Quark Gluon Plasma.

Measurement of Two-Point Energy Correlators within Jets in 𝑝 + 𝑝 Collisions at $\sqrt{𝑠}$ = 200 GeV

Hard-scattered partons ejected from high-energy proton-proton collisions undergo parton shower and hadronization, resulting in collimated collections of particles that are clustered into jets. A substructure observable that highlights the transition between the perturbative and nonperturbative regimes of jet evolution in terms of the angle between two particles is the two-point energy correlator (EEC). In this Letter, the first measurement of the EEC at RHIC is presented, using data taken from 200 GeV 𝑝 + 𝑝 collisions by the STAR experiment. The EEC is measured both for all the pairs of particles in jets and separately for pairs with like and opposite electric charges. These measurements demonstrate that the transition between perturbative and nonperturbative effects occurs within an angular region that is consistent with expectations of a universal hadronization regime that scales with jet momentum for a given initiator flavor. Additionally, a deviation from Monte Carlo predictions at small angles in the charge-selected sample could result from mechanics of hadronization not fully captured by current models.

Effects of co-adsorbed water on different bond cleavages involved in acetic acid decomposition on Pt (111)

Acetic acid decomposition on Pt (111) in the presence of co-adsorbed water is a good model system for oxygenate decomposition on Pt (111) in aqueous phase, with application in hydrogen production and biomass conversion. Here, in this study, we present a density functional theory (DFT) theory calculation of how co-adsorbed water affects different bond cleavages of acetic acid decomposition on Pt (111). The presence of co-adsorbed water generally enhances O$-$H bond cleavage while inhibiting OC$-$O and OC$-$OH bond cleavage. The influence of co-adsorbed water on C$-$H bond cleavage varies the most and depends on the nature of the transition state and how co-adsorbed water stabilizes the initial and final state. Although these trends are useful as general guidance, they are not sufficient to predict the effect on a complex reaction network such as acetic acid decomposition on Pt (111) which has several parallel reaction paths with similar energies. In the absence of co-adsorbed water, the two lowest energy pathways are decarboxylation (DCX) and decarbonylation (DCN) pathways through a common CH 2 COO intermediate, in which the DCX pathway (C$-$H bond cleavage of CH 2 COO) is more favorable than DCN pathway (OC$-$O bond cleavage of CH 2 COO). In the presence of co-adsorbed water, the energy difference between Csingle bondH bond cleavage and OC$-$O bond cleavage of CH 2 COO increases, suggesting an increase in the favorability of acetic acid decarboxylation (formation of carbon dioxide) over acetic acid decarbonylation (formation of carbon monoxide) on Pt (111).

Data Science Meets Physical Organic Chemistry

At the heart of synthetic chemistry is the holy grail of predictable catalyst design. In particular, researchers involved in reaction development in asymmetric catalysis have pursued a variety of strategies toward this goal. This is driven by both the pragmatic need to achieve high selectivities and the inability to readily identify why a certain catalyst is effective for a given reaction. While empiricism and intuition have dominated the field of asymmetric catalysis since its inception, enantioselectivity offers a mechanistically rich platform to interrogate catalyst-structure response patterns that explain the performance of a particular catalyst or substrate. In the early stages of an asymmetric reaction development campaign, the overarching mechanism of the reaction, catalyst speciation, the turnover limiting step, and many other details are unknown or posited based on related reactions. Considering the unclear details leading to a successful reaction, initial enantioselectivity data are often used to intuitively guide the ultimate direction of optimization. However, if the conditions of the Curtin-Hammett principle are satisfied, then measured enantioselectivity can be directly connected to the ensemble of diastereomeric transition states (TSs) that lead to the enantiomeric products, and the associated free energy difference between competing TSs (ΔΔ G ‡ = - RT ln[( S )/( R )], where ( S ) and ( R ) represent the concentrations of the enantiomeric products). We, and others, speculated that this important piece of information can be leveraged to guide reaction optimization in a quantitative way. Although traditional linear free energy relationships (LFERs), such as Hammett plots, have been used to illuminate important mechanistic features, we sought to develop data science derived tools to expand the power of LFERs in order to describe complex reactions frequently encountered in modern asymmetric catalysis. Specifically, we investigated whether enantioselectivity data from a reaction can be quantitatively connected to the attributes of reaction components, such as catalyst and substrate structural features, to harness data for asymmetric catalyst design. In this context, we developed a workflow to relate computationally derived features of reaction components to enantioselectivity using data science tools. The mathematical representation of molecules can incorporate many aspects of a transformation, such as molecular features from substrate, product, catalyst, and proposed transition states. Statistical models relating these features to reaction outputs can be used for various tasks, such as performance prediction of untested molecules. Perhaps most importantly, statistical models can guide the generation of mechanistic hypotheses that are embedded within complex patterns of reaction responses. Overall, merging traditional physical organic experiments with statistical modeling techniques creates a feedback loop that enables both evaluation of multiple mechanistic hypotheses and future catalyst design. In this Account, we highlight the evolution and application of this approach in the context of a collaborative program based on chiral phosphoric acid catalysts (CPAs) in asymmetric catalysis.

Exciton thermalization dynamics in monolayer MoS2: A first-principles Boltzmann equation study

Understanding exciton thermalization is critical for optimizing optoelectronic and photocatalytic processes in many materials. However, it is hard to access the dynamics of such processes experimentally, especially on systems such as monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, where various low-energy excitations pathways can compete for exciton thermalization. Here, we study exciton dynamics due to exciton-phonon scattering in monolayer MoS2 from a first-principles, interacting Green's function approach, to obtain the relaxation and thermalization of low-energy excitons following different initial excitations at different temperatures. We find that the thermalization occurs on a picosecond time scale at 300 K but can increase by an order of magnitude at 100 K. The long total thermalization time, owing to the nature of its excitonic band structure, is dominated by slow spin-flip scattering processes in monolayer MoS2. In contrast, thermalization of excitons in individual spin-aligned and spin-anti-aligned channels can be achieved within a few hundred fs when exciting higher-energy excitons. We further simulate the intensity spectrum of time-resolved angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments and anticipate that such calculations may serve as a map to correlate spectroscopic signatures with microscopic exciton dynamics.

Hot-carrier dynamics in InAs/AlAsSb multiple-quantum wells

A type-II InAs/AlAs 0.16 Sb 0.84 multiple-quantum well sample is investigated for the photoexcited carrier dynamics as a function of excitation photon energy and lattice temperature. Time-resolved measurements are performed using a near-infrared pump pulse, with photon energies near to and above the band gap, probed with a terahertz probe pulse. The transient terahertz absorption is characterized by a multi-rise, multi-decay function that captures long-lived decay times and a metastable state for an excess-photon energy of >100 meV. For sufficient excess-photon energy, excitation of the metastable state is followed by a transition to the long-lived states. Excitation dependence of the long-lived states map onto a nearly-direct band gap (E g ) density of states with an Urbach tail below E g . As temperature increases, the long-lived decay times increase < E g , due to the increased phonon interaction of the unintentional defect states, and by phonon stabilization of the hot carriers > E g . Additionally, Auger (and/or trap-assisted Auger) scattering above the onset of the plateau may also contribute to longer hot-carrier lifetimes. Meanwhile, the initial decay component shows strong dependence on excitation energy and temperature, reflecting the complicated initial transfer of energy between valence-band and defect states, indicating methods to further prolong hot carriers for technological applications.

Automated Electric Vehicle Fleet Operations for On-Demand Service: Challenges and Opportunities

Automated/autonomous vehicle fleet operations within automated mobility districts have been studied over the past five years by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, a US Department of Energy federally funded research and development center. This paper extends the analysis in this third phase of research underway to include considerations for electric vehicle operations and charging within a fleet of right-sized automated vehicles providing on-demand public mobility services. The current focus of research is on the operational complexities and associated challenges for automated/autonomous vehicles employing electric drivetrains and the resultant need for an efficient battery charging process while vehicles are operating in an "on-demand" mode of service. The blossoming of microtransit with shared-ride and point-to-point dispatching of each vehicle instills complex operations, with multiple mobility-on-demand transit operating sites being deployed, studied, and analyzed across North America. As a starting point, the authors' experience over the past 20 years with the analysis of automated transit network systems operating on and within dedicated and protected transitways provides initial insights into the system-level operational implications for maintaining a sufficient battery charge for a fleet of automated vehicles. Lessons learned through the prior analyses of automated transit network systems operating in on-demand service are identified, along with the capital cost implications for the requisite operating fleet size and charging station infrastructure for various approaches. These costs are summarized in juxtaposition with the benefits of realizing the higher goals of reducing environmental impacts and energy use within automated mobility districts as automated/autonomous vehicle technology matures. Finally, the discussion addresses key aspects of battery-electric propulsion for managed fleets in fully automated operation that will be studied as the third phase of research continues.

Magnetization dynamics of weakly interacting sub-100 nm square artificial spin ices

Artificial Spin Ice (ASI), consisting of a two dimensional array of nanoscale magnetic elements, provides a fascinating opportunity to observe the physics of out-of-equilibrium systems. Initial studies concentrated on the static, frozen state, whilst more recent studies have accessed the out-of-equilibrium dynamic, fluctuating state. This opens up exciting possibilities such as the observation of systems exploring their energy landscape through monopole quasiparticle creation, potentially leading to ASI magnetricity, and to directly observe unconventional phase transitions. In this work we have measured and analysed the magnetic relaxation of thermally active ASI systems by means of SQUID magnetometry. We have investigated the effect of the interaction strength on the magnetization dynamics at different temperatures in the range where the nanomagnets are thermally active. We have observed that they follow an Arrhenius-type Néel-Brown behaviour. An unexpected negative correlation of the average blocking temperature with the interaction strength is also observed, which is supported by Monte Carlo simulations. The magnetization relaxation measurements show faster relaxation for more strongly coupled nanoelements with similar dimensions. The analysis of the stretching exponents obtained from the measurements suggest 1-D chain-like magnetization dynamics. This indicates that the nature of the interactions between nanoelements lowers the dimensionality of the ASI from 2-D to 1-D. Finally, we present a way to quantify the effective interaction energy of a square ASI system, and compare it to the interaction energy computed with micromagnetic simulations.

Improved Representations of Land‐Atmosphere Interactions Over the Continental U.S. Through Dynamic Root Modeling

Previous studies have identified the oversimplified root system representation as a key factor leading to inaccuracies in vegetation‐atmosphere feedbacks. In this study, a dynamic root water uptake scheme in the Noah‐MP land surface model has been coupled to the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to investigate its impact on the surface hydroclimate variables and land‐atmosphere interactions. To evaluate the impact of the dynamic root, two coupled simulations were conducted, one with the dynamic root water uptake scheme (DynRt) and one with the static root water uptake scheme (StcRt), which is based on the default root representation in Noah‐MP, with slight modifications, primarily in vegetation‐related parameters. Both DynRt and StcRt simulations were conducted with a small ensemble of three members to account for variations in physical parameterizations, initial and boundary forcing and model setup. When compared with reference data sets, the DynRt simulations show improved results than the StcRt simulations, reducing biases in the simulated leaf area index, surface energy fluxes, soil moisture and precipitation. Two different mechanisms through which roots affect land‐atmosphere coupling have been identified. Over the transitional climate zone between the dry and wet climate, the dynamic root scheme affects surface climate and land‐atmosphere coupling mainly through changes in soil moisture through hydraulic redistribution by plant root system. Over the energy‐limited mesic zone, the dynamic root affects regional land‐atmosphere coupling mainly through changes in carbon allocation. This work highlights the importance of dynamic root representation in improving vegetation‐atmosphere simulations by enhancing predictions of water, energy, and carbon fluxes.

On the Application of Cyber-Informed Engineering (CIE)

The 2023 National Cybersecurity Strategy has recommended a transition to secure-by-design methodologies in critical infrastructure. This paper presents the adoption of the National Cyber-Informed Engineering (CIE) Strategy as initiated by the U.S. DOE’s CESER office, advocating for the integration of cybersecurity at the earliest stages of system design. The strategy targets design engineers responsible for energy infrastructure to embed CIE principles within the engineering lifecycle, thus enhancing cyber resilience. This paper discusses the expansion of secure-by-design concepts to cyber-physical systems, moving beyond traditional IT security to include engineering considerations that can mitigate cyber risks through design choices. The paper introduces Digital Risk Management, balancing traditional cybersecurity with CIE to reduce both likelihood and impact of cyber threats. A set of CIE starter questions derived from 12 core principles is detailed, aiding engineers to consider cybersecurity in their designs and highlights the importance of CIE in anticipating and reducing the impacts of cyber attacks, suggesting that such integration is essential for national security and infrastructure resilience.

Quaternary Cu 2 TSiS 4 (T = Fe, Mn) Anodes for Li-Ion Batteries

Developing high-capacity and fast-charging anode materials is critical for achieving high-performance Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, polycrystalline quaternary transition metal silicon sulfides, Cu 2 TSiS 4 (T = Fe, Mn), were synthesized using a solid-state method and investigated as anode materials in LIBs. Cu 2 FeSiS 4 retains a reversible capacity of 670 mAh g –1 at 200 mA g –1 for 400 cycles, while Cu 2 MnSiS 4 suffers from a fast capacity loss in the initial 50 cycles. More importantly, Cu 2 FeSiS 4 can maintain a reversible capacity of 379 mAh g –1 after 700 cycles at a high current density of 2 A g –1 , demonstrating high cyclic stability and fast-charging capacity. To further understand the structure degradation and phase transformation, we investigated the postcycling electrodes using multiple techniques, including the scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques. The results indicated that Cu 2 FeSiS 4 undergoes reversible phase transitions with Li 2 S as a major product component. To further assess the performance for practical applications, Cu 2 FeSiS 4 was coupled with LiFePO 4 to make LiFePO 4 ||Cu 2 FeSiS 4 full cells, which delivered superior electrochemical performance. These results demonstrate great promise for using quaternary transition metal silicon sulfides as anodes to achieve low-cost and sustainable LIBs.

First observation of the decay of the 13/2 + isomer in 183 Hg and B(M 2) systematics of neutron transitions across the nuclear chart

The decay of the 13/2 + isomeric state in 183 Hg was observed for the first time following the a decay of the 13/2 + isomer in 187 Pb produced in the 142 Nd( 50 Cr, 2p3n) reaction. Using $\alpha - \gamma$ delayed coincidence measurements, the half-life of this isomer was measured to be 290(30) μs. This isomer is proposed to deexcite by an unobserved low-energy M2 transition to the known 9/2 - member of a strongly prolate-deformed 7/2 - [514] band, followed by a 105-keV M1 transition to the bandhead. A lower limit of B(M2) >= 0.018 W.u. was deduced for the unobserved transition. The presumed retardation is proposed to be due to the notable shape change between the initial, nearly spherical, and the final, strongly deformed, states. A similar scenario is also considered for the 13/2 + isomer in 181 Hg, suggesting both are cases of shape isomers. The B(M2) systematics of neutron transitions across the nuclear chart is discussed.

Calculations of the $np→dγ$ reaction in chiral effective field theory

Here, we present a calculation of the radiative capture cross section of the $np→dγ$ reaction in the low-energy range, where the M⁢1 reaction channel dominates. Employing the LENPIC nucleon-nucleon interaction up to the fifth order (N4LO) that is regularized by the semilocal coordinate space regulators, we obtain the initial and final state wave functions, and evaluate the phase shifts of the scattering state and deuteron properties. We derive the transition operator from the chiral effective field theory up to the next-to-next-to leading order (N2LO), where we also regularize the transition operator using regulators consistent with those of the interactions. We compute the capture cross sections, and the results show a converging pattern with the chiral-order expansion of the nucleon-nucleon interaction, where the regulator dependence of the results is weak when higher-order nucleon-nucleon interactions are employed. We quantify the uncertainties of the cross-section results due to the chiral-order truncation. The chirally complete and consistent cross-section results are calculated up to N2LO and they compare well with the experiments and other theoretical predictions.
