Oscillatory redox behavior in oxides: Cyclic surface reconstruction and reactivity modulation via the Mars–van Krevelen mechanism

The breaking of translational symmetry at oxide surfaces gives rise to coordinatively unsaturated cations/anions and surface restructuring—key factors that govern surface reactivity. Using direct in situ environmental transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations along with atomistic modeling, we report oscillatory redox behavior in CuO under H 2 , where cyclic surface reconstruction and reactivity modulation occur via the Mars–van Krevelen (MvK) mechanism. We observe self-switching between oxygen-rich and oxygen-deficient surface reconstructions, alternately activating and deactivating the surface for H 2 O formation. During periods of chemical inactivity, the oxygen-deficient surface undergoes slow reoxidation via lattice oxygen diffusing from subsurface and bulk reservoirs, restoring the active oxygen-rich surface termination. The inherent disparity in chemical activity among undercoordinated surface ions, along with sluggish subsurface-to-surface oxygen replenishment, drives this oscillatory redox cycle, modulating H2-induced loss of lattice oxygen at the surface and its delayed replenishment from the subsurface. This creates spatiotemporally separated redox steps at the oxide surface. The phenomena and atomistic insights presented here have significant implications for manipulating the surface reactivity of oxides by tuning the separation of these redox steps.

Fundamental chemical physics revealed by scattering reactive open-shell atoms from surfaces

The dynamics of reactive atoms at surfaces are centrally important to areas such as heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion, materials degradation in extreme environments, and plasma etching. Remarkably detailed understanding of dynamical processes at surfaces has been extracted from scattering molecules and inert atoms under well-defined conditions. However, traditional techniques for generating beams of reactive atoms often result in impure mixtures, broad energy distributions, and poorly defined contributions of metastable electronically excited atoms. In this perspective article, we review the state-of-the-art in reactive atom surface scattering with a focus on experiments performed under controlled conditions on well-defined surfaces. We highlight a new technique for controlled state-to-state scattering of polyelectronic atoms from surfaces, based on vacuum ultraviolet photolysis and state-selective ion imaging. The new capabilities provide an avenue for research into the underexplored area of excited state and spin selective chemical dynamics at surfaces.

ORT: a workflow linking genome-scale metabolic models with reactive transport codes

Abstract Motivation Nutrient and contaminant behavior in the subsurface are governed by multiple coupled hydrobiogeochemical processes which occur across different temporal and spatial scales. Accurate description of macroscopic system behavior requires accounting for the effects of microscopic and especially microbial processes. Microbial processes mediate precipitation and dissolution and change aqueous geochemistry, all of which impacts macroscopic system behavior. As ‘omics data describing microbial processes is increasingly affordable and available, novel methods for using this data quickly and effectively for improved ecosystem models are needed. Results We propose a workflow (‘Omics to Reactive Transport—ORT) for utilizing metagenomic and environmental data to describe the effect of microbiological processes in macroscopic reactive transport models. This workflow utilizes and couples two open-source software packages: KBase (a software platform for systems biology) and PFLOTRAN (a reactive transport modeling code). We describe the architecture of ORT and demonstrate an implementation using metagenomic and geochemical data from a river system. Our demonstration uses microbiological drivers of nitrification and denitrification to predict nitrogen cycling patterns which agree with those provided with generalized stoichiometries. While our example uses data from a single measurement, our workflow can be applied to spatiotemporal metagenomic datasets to allow for iterative coupling between KBase and PFLOTRAN.

Validity of path thermodynamic description of reactive systems: Microscopic simulations

Traditional stochastic modeling of reactive systems limits the domain of applicability of the associated path thermodynamics to systems involving a single elementary reaction at the origin of each observed change in composition. An alternative stochastic modeling has recently been proposed to overcome this limitation. These two ways of modeling reactive systems are in principle incompatible. Here, the question thus arises about choosing the appropriate type of modeling to be used in practical situations. In the absence of sufficiently accurate experimental results, one way to address this issue is through the microscopic simulation of reactive fluids, usually based on hard-sphere dynamics in the Boltzmann limit. In this paper, we show that results obtained through such simulations unambiguously confirm the predictions of traditional stochastic modeling, invalidating a recently proposed alternative.

Reactive binder and aggregate interfacial zones in the mortar of Tomb of Caecilia Metella concrete, 1C BCE, Rome

Integrated spectroscopic analyses and synchrotron X-ray microdiffraction investigations provide insights into the long-term reactivity of volcanic aggregate components and calcium-aluminum-silicate-hydrate (C-A-S-H) binder in mortar samples from the robust concrete of the sepulchral corridor of the Tomb of Caecilia Metella, 1st C BCE, Rome. The results of innovative micrometer-scale analytical maps indicate that Pozzolane Rosse tephra components–scoria groundmass, clinopyroxene, and leucite crystals–contributed to pozzolanic production of C-A-S-H binder and then remained reactive long after hydrated lime (Ca(OH) 2 ) was fully consumed. The C-A-S-H binding phase is reorganized into wispy halos and tendril-like strands, some with nanocrystalline preferred orientation or, alternatively, split into elongate features with short silicate chain lengths. These microstructures apparently record chemical and structural destabilization of C-A-S-H during excessive incorporation of Al 3+ and K + released through leucite dissolution. Resistance to failure may result from the intermittent toughening of interfacial zones of scoriae and clinopyroxene crystals with post-pozzolanic strätlingite and Al-tobermorite mineral cements and from long-term remodeling of the pozzolanic C-A-S-H binding phase. Roman builders’ selection of a leucite-rich facies of Pozzolane Rosse tephra as aggregate and construction of the tomb in an environment with high surface and ground water exposure apparently increased beneficial hydrologic activity and reactivity in the concrete.

Etching of Si 3 N 4 induced by electron beam plasma from hollow cathode plasma in a downstream reactive environment

An etching system based on the interaction of electrons extracted from a direct current (DC) hollow-cathode (HC) Ar plasma and injected towards a Si3N4 covered silicon substrate located in the downstream reactive environment created by an additional remote CF 4 /O 2 plasma source was developed and evaluated. By controlling the properties of the injected beam electrons, this approach allows to deliver energy to a surface functionalized by exposure to reactive species, and initiate surface etching. The energy of the primary beam electrons is controlled by the acceleration voltage relative to the HC discharge. Ar atoms flow from the high-pressure HC discharge into the low pressure downstream reactive environment in the process chamber. For an acceleration voltage greater than the ionization potential of Ar and/or process gas species, the energetic primary beam electrons produce a secondary plasma in the process chamber, and can also cause additional dissociation. We have characterized the properties of the secondary plasma and also surface etching of Si 3 N 4 as a function of process parameters, including acceleration voltage (0-80 V), discharge current of the HC discharge (1-2 A), pressure (3.5-20 mTorr), source to substrate distance (1.5 to 5 cm), and feed gas composition (20% and 80% O2 in CF 4 /O 2 ). The electron energy probability function (EEPF) measured with a Langmuir probe about 2.5 cm below the extraction ring suggests several major groups of electrons for this situation, including high energy primary beam electrons with an energy that varies as the acceleration voltage is changed and low energy electrons produced by beam electron-induced ionization of the Ar gas in the process chamber. When a remote CF 4 /O 2 plasma is additionally coupled to the process chamber, Si 3 N 4 surfaces can be functionalized, and by varying the energy of the beam electrons, Si 3 N 4 etching can be induced by electron-neutral synergy effect with plasma-surface interaction. For conditions without beam electron injection, the remote plasma etching rate (ER) of Si 3 N 4 depends strongly on the O 2 concentration in the CF 4 /O 2 processing gas mixture and can be suppressed for O 2 -rich process conditions by the formation of a SiONF passivation layer on the Si 3 N 4 surface. The combination of the HC electron beam source with the remote plasma source (HCEB-RP) makes it possible to induce Si 3 N 4 etching for O 2 -rich remote plasma conditions where remote plasma by itself produces negligible Si 3 N 4 etching. The electron enhanced etching of Si 3 N 4 depends strongly on O 2 /CF 4 mixing ratio reflecting changing arrival rates of O and F species at the surface. Optical emission spectroscopy was used to estimate the ratio of gas phase F and O densities and found to be controlled by the gas mixing ratio and independent of HC EB operating conditions. At this time the detailed sequence of events operative in the etching mechanism is unclear. While the increase of the electron energy is ultimately responsible for initiating surface etching, at present we cannot rule out a role of ions from the simultaneously produced secondary plasma in plasma surface interaction mechanisms.

Path to Increasing p-B11 Reactivity via ps and ns Lasers

The Lawson criterion for proton-boron (p-11B) thermonuclear fusion is substantially higher than that for deuterium-tritium (DT) because the fusion cross section is lower and peaks at higher ion energies. The Maxwellian averaged p-11B reactivity peaks at several hundred keV, where bremsstrahlung radiation emission may dominate over fusion reactions if electrons and ions are in thermal equilibrium and the losses are unrestricted. Nonequilibrium burn has often been suggested to realize the benefits of this aneutronic reaction, but the predominance of elastic scattering over fusion reactivity makes this difficult to achieve. The development of ultrashort pulse lasers (USPL) has opened new possibilities for initiating nonequilibrium thermonuclear burns and significant numbers of p-11B alpha particles have been reported from several experiments. We present an analysis that shows that these significant alpha yields are the result of beam fusion reactions that do not scale to net energy gain. We further find that the yields can be explained by experimental parameters and recently updated cross sections such that a postulated avalanche mechanism is not required. We use this analysis to understand the underlying physics of USPL-driven nonequilibrium fusion reactions and whether they can be used to initiate fusion burns. We conclude by outlining a path to increasing the p-11B reactivity towards the goal of achieving ignition and describing the design principles that we will use to develop a computational point design.

Isolation and characterization of IgG3 glycan-targeting antibodies with exceptional cross-reactivity for diverse viral families

Broadly reactive antibodies that target sequence-diverse antigens are of interest for vaccine design and monoclonal antibody therapeutic development because they can protect against multiple strains of a virus and provide a barrier to evolution of escape mutants. Using LIBRA-seq (linking B cell receptor to antigen specificity through sequencing) data for the B cell repertoire of an individual chronically infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), we identified a lineage of IgG3 antibodies predicted to bind to HIV-1 Envelope (Env) and influenza A Hemagglutinin (HA). Two lineage members, antibodies 2526 and 546, were confirmed to bind to a large panel of diverse antigens, including several strains of HIV-1 Env, influenza HA, coronavirus (CoV) spike, hepatitis C virus (HCV) E protein, Nipah virus (NiV) F protein, and Langya virus (LayV) F protein. We found that both antibodies bind to complex glycans on the antigenic surfaces. Antibody 2526 targets the stem region of influenza HA and the N-terminal domain (NTD) region of SARS-CoV-2 spike. A crystal structure of 2526 Fab bound to mannose revealed the presence of a glycan-binding pocket on the light chain. Antibody 2526 cross-reacted with antigens from multiple pathogens and displayed no signs of autoreactivity. These features distinguish antibody 2526 from previously described glycan-reactive antibodies. Further study of this antibody class may aid in the selection and engineering of broadly reactive antibody therapeutics and can inform the development of effective vaccines with exceptional breadth of pathogen coverage.

(U) A Linear Response Model Predicts Reactivity From a Density Profile

We tested the ability to predict the system reactivity, described by alpha, given a density profile using a simple linear system response. We generated a suite of 1-dimensional density profiles that consisted of nominal density, a discontinuity, and a decay. These profiles were prescribed a functional form and the mass was conserved in all cases. From these density profiles, we calculated the alpha value of the 3-dimensional system.We calculated a linear response function given a training set of the 1-dimensional density profiles, and the system reactivity described by alpha. We tested the robustness of the response function using the remaining test data. Our results showed very good agreement between the predicted and calculated test values, where the distribution of alpha differences was centered about zero and had a standard deviation of 0.005 gens/shake. The predicted and calculated alpha values did not significantly differ (t=-0.0009 p<0.99). We used Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to reduce the matrix rank by retaining95% of the cumulative singular value contributions. This reduced the matrix rank by 91.7%. We generated the linear response matrix and calculated the difference between the predicted and calculated alpha values. Using the reduced order matrix, we showed good agreement between the predicted and calculated alpha values where the distribution of differences was centered near zero, the standard deviation was 0.006 gens/shake, and the statistical t-test showed good agreement (t=0.02, p<0.98). These results show a linear relationship between a series of 1-dimensional density profiles,where the mass was conserved, and the system reactivity. The next steps of this work will be to investigate the linear response using 2-dimensional density profiles.

FY2020 Annual Report on Subcontract B631779 with UC Berkeley: Reactive Precursors Additive Manufacturing Report

This work succeeded in reaching each of the stated milestones for developing, printing, reacting, and characterizing the uranium carbide final products. Leveraging experience gained from creating magnesium oxide inks (milestone #1) and prior reactive precursor work with boron carbide (milestone #2) a uranium carbide reactive precursor ink was developed. The chosen composition of ink utilized a mixture of wax, petrolatum, and stearic acid as the binder. The reactive precursor portion of the ink was comprised of uranium oxide and nano particle activated carbon for production of uranium carbide via carbothermal reduction. Following an in-air burnout of the binder at 160C the printed samples were reacted and sintered at 1750C in an argon environment induction furnace. The resulting product has an open porosity dense, foam-like internal structure with a calculated density of 89% in the solid fraction.

A Brief Overview of Reactive Transport Codes Used in CO 2 Applications

Reactive transport modelling consists of computational and numerical models that describe the coupled physical, chemical, mechanical, and biological processes interacting with each other over a broad range of spatial and temporal scales. This report reviews some of the reactive transport codes available in the literature for carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) applications and can assist the scientific community with the applicability of each code to solve a specific problem. Approaches implemented in these codes can be categorized in three groups: (i) continuum-scale, (ii) pore-scale, and (iii) hybrid-scale approaches. Theoretical foundations, numerical implementations, and application examples using the models are described. In the continuum approach, flow and transport are formulated in terms of a representative control volume of the medium and coupled with geochemical reactions. The medium is characterized by bulk parameters such as porosity, permeability, or reactive surface area. In the pore-scale approach, each point of space in the pore network is occupied by either a fluid or solid phase. The pore-scale approach requires an exact knowledge of the spatial and temporal phase distribution. In the hybrid-scale approach, media are described by multiple characteristic length-scales, with some regions using a pore-scale approach while others used a continuum approach.

Absolute Reactive Oxygen Species Densities in the Effluent of the COST Reference Source and Plasma-generated Atomic Oxygen Density Measurements in Liquid using TALIF

Reactive oxygen species are one of the most important species produced in a plasma. In particular the role of atomic oxygen and the hydroxyl radical OH has attracted many studies ranging from plasma medicine to plasma-driven biocatalysis and water treatment. Atomic oxygen and the hydroxyl radical OH are very reactive and react unselectively with many different substrates. The quantification of atomic oxygen and OH is challenging because of their reactivity and unknown reactions and rate constants.

Hydrogen and Deuterium Reactivity with Carbon Surface Impurities on the TPBAR Getter Ni Plate Studied in situ with Environmental XPS

Tritium for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Tritium Readiness Program is produced in tritium-producing burnable absorber rods (TPBARs) inserted into light-water nuclear reactors. The rods are stainless-steel-clad tubes with a permeation barrier coating and internal components. The internal components have been designed and selected to produce and retain tritium. The TPBAR incorporates a Ni-plated Zircaloy-4 getter tube to capture tritium and prevent it from reaching the rod cladding and permeating into the environment. The role of the Ni coating is to protect the Zircaloy-4 getter from oxidation while allowing for maximum tritium permeability. Ubiquitous surface impurities on the Ni, such as carbon, could limit its protective functionality and permeability if they exist in relatively large concentrations. The reactivity of impurity carbon with permeating tritium can also result in tritiated hydrocarbon impurities on the gas phase. The goal of this work is to determine quantitatively the chemical state and reactivity of potential Ni coating impurities in actual TPBAR getter samples. Using Environmental X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (eXPS), a very sensitive gas/surface chemistry diagnostic, we reveal in situ the source and evolution of carbon on the Ni surface at different hydrogen and deuterium pressure conditions, and how carbon reactivity may result in hydrocarbon gas-evolution at application-relevant temperatures.

Metallic Phase-Free Zn-Al Mixed Oxide Dual Function Materials Enable High Co Selectivity in Reactive Carbon Capture From Dilute Streams

Scaling conventional carbon capture and utilization methods can be limited by cost and permitting issues associated with transportation of captured CO2. Reactive carbon capture (RCC), in which a single solid-phase dual function material (DFM) is used to both capture CO2 from dilute streams (e.g., flue gas) and catalytically convert the bound species to products in a single unit operation, has the potential to reduce energy and capital costs by over 50% relative to separate capture and conversion. To incentivize adoption, high-value products such as methanol and CO should be targeted. Appealingly, CO can be produced at atmospheric pressure, thereby lowering overall H2 demand; however, high reaction temperatures (> 600 degrees C) and the use of oxidizable transition metals, such as Ni, are often necessary to drive the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) during reactive desorption of the bound CO2. The sensitivity of these transition metals to oxygen undercuts their utility in point source RCC. To further derisk RCC, it is essential to develop metallic-phase free DFMs that are insensitive to residual oxygen in flue gas and can achieve selective reactive desorption to CO at moderate pressures (< 400 degrees C). To this end, we have developed K-modified Zn-Al mixed oxides (K/ZnAlOx) to convert captured CO2 to CO with > 97% selectivity and yields up to 53% of captured CO2 at 400 degrees C. Complementary in situ spectroscopy studies revealed the role of K-modification in improving RCC performance of unmodified ZnAlOx. The top performing DFM was also subjected to extended RCC cycling with oxygen co-fed with CO2 during the capture test to assess durability under simulated flue gas.

Reactivity, Regioselectivity, and Synthetic Application of 2-Pyrenyl Units in Scholl Reactions

We herein report the reactivity and regioselectivity of 2-pyrenyl as a coupling unit in Scholl reactions. On the basis of the Scholl reactions of hexaarylbenzene substrates, we have found that pyrenyl units are preferably oxidized over naphthyl and phenyl units under appropriate Scholl reaction conditions, allowing divergent synthesis through a highly controllable intramolecular coupling sequence. We find that the C1 and C3 positions of the 2-pyrenyl unit are the favorable sites for intramolecular coupling while C4 is not reactive to allow further coupling. The reactivity and regioselectivity pattern can be explained by the spin density distribution, which shows that carbon–carbon bonds preferably form at sites with higher positive spin density. Guided by these findings, we successfully synthesized a double helicene and a sextuple helicene through the controlled Scholl reactions of 2-pyrenyl units.

On the adsorption and reactivity of element 114, flerovium

Flerovium (Fl, element 114) is the heaviest element chemically studied so far. To date, its interaction with gold was investigated in two gas-solid chromatography experiments, which reported two different types of interaction, however, each based on the level of a few registered atoms only. Whereas noble-gas-like properties were suggested from the first experiment, the second one pointed at a volatile-metal-like character. Here, we present further experimental data on adsorption studies of Fl on silicon oxide and gold surfaces, accounting for the inhomogeneous nature of the surface, as it was used in the experiment and analyzed as part of the reported studies. We confirm that Fl is highly volatile and the least reactive member of group 14. Our experimental observations suggest that Fl exhibits lower reactivity towards Au than the volatile metal Hg, but higher reactivity than the noble gas Rn.

Understanding Contaminant Migration within a Dynamic River Corridor through Field Experiments and Reactive Transport Modeling

The behavior of a persistent uranium plume within an extended river corridor at the DOE Hanford site is dominantly controlled by river stage fluctuations in the adjacent Columbia River. The plume behavior is further complicated by substantial heterogeneity in physical and geochemical properties of the host aquifer sediments. Multi-scale field and laboratory experiments and reactive transport modeling were integrated to understand the complex plume behavior influenced by highly variable hydrologic and geochemical conditions in time and space. In this paper, we (1) describe multiple data sets from field-scale uranium adsorption and desorption experiments performed at our experimental well-field, (2) develop a reactive transport model that incorporates hydrologic and geochemical heterogeneities characterized from multi-scale and multi-type datasets and a surface complexation reaction network based on laboratory studies, and (3) compare the modeling and observation results to provide insights on how to refine the conceptual model and reduce prediction uncertainties. The experimental results revealed significant spatial variability in uranium adsorption/desorption behavior, while modeling demonstrated that ambient hydrologic and geochemical conditions and heterogeneities in sediment physical and chemical properties both contributed to complex plume behavior and its persistence. This research underscores the great challenges in adequately characterizing this type of site to model the reactive transport processes over scales of 10 m or more. Our analysis provides important insights into the characterization, understanding, modeling, and remediation of groundwater contaminant plumes influenced by dynamic surface water and groundwater interactions.

Experimental Characterization of Hydrocarbons and Nitrogen Oxides Production in a Heavy-Duty Diesel–Natural Gas Reactivity-Controlled Compression Ignition Engine

Reactivity-Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) combustion is considered one of the most promising Low-Temperature Combustion (LTC) concepts aimed at reducing greenhouse gases for the transportation and power generation sectors. Due to the spontaneous combustion of a lean, nearly homogeneous mixture of air and low-reactivity fuel (LRF), ignited through the direct injection of a small quantity of high-reactivity fuel (HRF), RCCI (dual-fuel) shows higher efficiency and lower pollutants compared to conventional diesel combustion (CDC) if run at very advanced injection timing. Even though a HRF is used, the use of advanced injection timing leads to high ignition delays, compared to CDC, and generates high cycle-to-cycle variability, limited operating range, and high pressure rise rates at high loads. This work presents an experimental analysis performed on a heavy-duty single-cylinder compression ignited engine in dual-fuel diesel–natural gas mode. The objective of the present work is to investigate and highlight the correlations between combustion behavior and pollutant emissions, especially unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Based on the analysis of crank-resolved pollutants measurements performed through fast FID and fast NOx systems under different engine operating conditions, two correlations were found demonstrating a good accordance between pollutant production and combustion behavior: Net Cyclic Hydrocarbon emission—cyclic IMEP variations (R 2 = 0.86), and Cyclic NOx—maximum value of the Rate of Heat Released (R 2 = 0.82).
