Solution Structure and Hydration Forces between Mica and Hydrophilic Versus Hydrophobic Surfaces

Solid-liquid interfaces are central to a range of interesting phenomena including catalysis, heterogeneous nucleation, water desalination, and biomolecular assembly. While three-dimensional Fast Force Mapping (3D FFM) has emerged as a technique for resolving interfacial solution structure at the molecular scale, key challenges for data interpretation persist, most notably regarding the influence of the probe on the measured structure. Using the mica-water system as a case study, we investigate the effect of hydrophilic and hydrophobic probes on interfacial solution structure measured by 3D FFM. Data from hydrophilic silicon-based probes are in good agreement with molecular dynamics simulations, wherein the innermost water molecules adsorb preferentially at the surface ditrigonal cavity sites followed by two subsequent hydration layers. In contrast, the hydrophobic carbon-based probes detect vertical oscillatory features, but do not show lateral patterning that matches the underlying mica lattice. At high ionic strength, up to six of these oscillatory features are observed extending 2 nm into the solution phase with an average spacing of 0.29 ± (0.04) nm. Further, we also determine that the repulsive hydration force between mica and the hydrophilic probe depends on the nature and concentration of ions in solution. Specifically, solutions with stronger ion-water and ion-ion interactions increase the interfacial viscosity, which results in a stronger repulsive hydration force as the probe approaches the surface. Based on these observations, we present a scheme for controlling the outcomes of particle attachment and aggregation by varying the solution conditions to tune the hydration force.

The role of H–H interactions and impurities on the structure and energetics of H/Pd(111)

Understanding hydrogen incorporation into palladium requires detailed knowledge of surface and subsurface structure and atomic interactions as surface hydrogen is being embedded. Using density functional theory (DFT), we examine the energies of hydrogen layers of varying coverage adsorbed on Pd(111). Here we find that H–H and H–Pd interactions promote the formation of the well-known ($\sqrt{3}$ x $\sqrt{3}$) phases but also favor an unreported (3 × 3) phase at high H coverages for which we present experimental evidence. We relate the stability of isolated H vacancies of the (3 × 3) phase to the need of H 2 molecules to access bare Pd before they can dissociate. Following higher hydrogen dosage, we observe initial steps of hydride formation, starting with small clusters of subsurface hydrogen. The interaction between H and Pd is complicated by the persistent presence of carbon at the surface. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy experiments show that trace amounts of carbon, emerging from the Pd bulk despite many surface cleaning cycles, become mobile enough to repopulate the C-depleted surface at temperatures above 200 K. When exposed to hydrogen, these surface carbon atoms react to form benzene, as evidenced by scanning tunneling microscopy observations interpreted with DFT.

Photon counting with intensified charge coupled device (ICCD) – I. In-depth detector characterization

While the adsorption properties of transition metal catalysts have been widely studied, leading to the discovery of various scaling relations, descriptors of catalytic activity, and well-established computational models, a similar understanding of semiconductor catalysts has not yet been achieved. In this work, we present a high-throughput density functional theory investigation into the adsorption properties of 5 oxides of interest to the photocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction: TiO 2 (rutile and anatase), SrTiO 3 , NaTaO 3 , and CeO 2 . Using a systematic approach, we exhaustively identify unique surfaces and construct adsorption structures to undergo geometry optimizations. We then perform a data-driven analysis, which reveals the presence of weak adsorption energy scaling relations, the propensity of adsorbates of interest to interact with oxygen surface sites, and the importance of slab deformation upon adsorption. Our findings are presented in the context of experimental observations and in comparison to previously studied classes of catalysts, such as pure metals and tellurium-containing semiconductors, and reinforce the need for a comprehensive approach to the study of site-specific surface phenomena on semiconductors.

Sharp-tip enhanced catalytic CO oxidation by atomically dispersed Pt 1 /Pt 2 on a raised graphene oxide platform

Revealing structure–activity relationships of graphene-supported atomically dispersed transition metal catalysts is of key importance in catalysis chemistry and materials science. In this work, we report a first-principles theoretical study on O 2 activation and CO oxidation catalyzed by atomically dispersed Pt 1 /Pt 2 anchored on a raised graphene (Gr) platform. The unique sharp-tip structure of the protuberant graphene platform (carbon-tip) can collect extra polarization electrons on the Pt-tip, promoting electron transfer between the catalyst and adsorbates, and greatly enhancing the chemical activity. Higher carbon-tips on defective graphene oxide with a carbon vacancy (Gr-V) produce more polarization electrons, a more localized electric field, and a larger up-shift of the d-orbital center of the Pt-tip, resulting in better catalytic performance. The carbon-tip enhancement reduces the energy barrier for the CO oxidation on Pt 1 O 2 /Gr-V from 1.19 eV to 0.56 eV compared with Pt 1 on planar Gr. In addition, CO poisoning is significantly alleviated, with the CO poisoning rate Γ θ reduced from 2.00 eV to 0.52 eV. Moreover, a linear relationship between the activation barrier and the binding energy of adsorbates is found for various atomically dispersed Pt-tip catalysts on the raised graphene oxide platform. Importantly, the order of catalytic activity is consistent with the carbon-tip enhancement, i.e., Pt 1 O 2 /Gr-V > Pt 2 O 4 /Gr-V > Pt 1 O 2 /Gr > Pt 2 O 4 /Gr. These findings provide important guidance for rational design of atomically dispersed catalysts.

Dielectric screening at TMD:hBN interfaces: Monolayer-to-bulk transition, local-field effect, and spatial dependence

The dielectric effects of a substrate have been shown to be important for modulating the electronic properties of an adsorbate, especially in van der Waals heterostructures. Here, using the first-principles dielectric embedding GW approach within the framework of many-body perturbation theory, we perform a case study on the dielectric screening effects of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) on various transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). We consider three systems, monolayer MoS 2 , bilayer MoS 2 , and a mixed WS 2 /MoS 2 bilayer adsorbed on hBN, and examine three aspects of the substrate dielectric screening: (i) the thickness dependence and the monolayer-to-bulk transition, for which we consider the effects of one-, two-, three-, and four-layer hBN; (ii) the local-field effect, for which we numerically assess a common approximation of neglecting the in-plane local-field components of the substrate polarizability; and (iii) the spatial dependence, for which we consider the mixed WS 2 /MoS 2 bilayer adsorbed on hBN with either side facing the substrate. Finally, our results provide quantitative insight into how the substrate screening effects can be leveraged for band structure engineering.

Polycarboxylate ester adsorption on cement grains: Influence of polydispersity

Although in academic and industrial practice polymers are typically described by their average molecular parameters, most often they display a polydispersity both in size and in properties. In this paper, we focus on the influence of polydispersity on the adsorption of polycarboxylate ester on cement grains and on its influence on the definition of a so-called affinity of the polymer to the surface. We first show that a constant fraction of a polydisperse polycarboxylate ester always adsorbs no matter the availability of adsorption sites. We moreover suggest from our measurements and from scaling laws from literature that the degree of polydispersity in the structure of polycarboxylate ester should affect adsorption at both low and intermediate dosages and hydrodynamic radii in solution. However, it shall not have a major influence on polymer layer thickness or saturation dosage.

Toward Hydrogen Isotope Separations through Strong Hydrogen Adsorption at Open Copper(I) Sites in an Ultramicroporous Metal-Organic Framework

Metal-organic frameworks with coordinatively unsaturated metal sites (open metal sites) capable of engaging in orbital interactions with pi-acidic gases are of interest for enabling ambient-temperature gas separations, such as hydrogen isotope separations. In view of the weakly pi-acidic nature of H2, we sought to strengthen pi-backbonding-mediated H2 adsorption through pore confinement effects. Toward that end, we synthesized and characterized the ultramicroporous metal-organic framework CuxZn5-xCl4-yHz(bbta)3 (CuIZn-MFU-4; H2bbta = 1H,5H-benzo(1,2-d:4,5-d')bistriazole), featuring pi-basic trigonal pyramidal CuI sites that reside within 7 A of one another at their closest. Gas adsorption measurements reveal an H2 adsorption enthalpy of -38 kJ/mol, exceeding that of the larger-pore analog (CuIZn-MFU-4l; -33 kJ/mol) and representing the strongest H2 adsorption yet achieved in a metal-organic framework. The stronger H2 adsorption in CuIZn-MFU-4 is attributed to a combination of pore confinement effects and the increased ..sigma..-accepting nature of the CuI sites caused by a more electron-withdrawing bbta2- linker, as supported by structural, spectroscopic, and computational evidence. With the strongest H2 adsorption, equilibrium isotope effects in CuIZn-MFU-4 lead to a D2/H2 selectivity (as estimated by ideal adsorbed solution theory) of 1.35 even at 298 K, approaching the values reported below 200 K for conventional porous materials.

Thermo-responsive hydrogel composite (TRHC) desiccants having high adsorption capacities, fast adsorption/desorption rates, and low regeneration temperatures (Treg) compared to traditional desiccants. TRHC desiccants may be synthesized by freeze drying. The porous structures resulting from freeze drying copolymers of thermo-responsive polymers and/or hygroscopic agents may be combined with hygroscopic inorganic salts, resulting in TRHC desiccants having superior performance properties.

Insights into Controls of Mineralogy and Pore Structure on the Density of Methane Adsorption Phase in Shales under Supercritical Conditions

With gradually increasing enhancing population and industrialization, exploitation of shale gas is enhancing in the world to satisfy the growing demand for energy worldwide. To exploit shale gas efficiently, accurate assessment of shale gas in place (GIP) is necessary for determining production strategies. Unlike free and dissolved gas, adsorbed gas contributes to the shale GIP up to 85% due to the well-developed surface area and micropores. Measured excess adsorption of methane (up to over 95% of subsurface shale gas) is often corrected to absolute adsorption to obtain the actual amount of adsorption under supercritical (or geological) conditions. During the correction, adsorption phase density (APD) is critical. However, the APD of subsurface shale gas and the effects of shale properties (e.g., mineralogy and pore structure) on APD remain poorly understood. A series of high-pressure methane adsorption isotherms (HPMAI) on Caney Shales were collected and analyzed in conjunction with other United States and Chinese shales from the literature at 35–125 °C and up to 15 MPa. Here, a three-layer Ono–Kondo (OK3) model is utilized to derive the temperature- and pressure-dependent APD coupling low-pressure nitrogen adsorption isotherms (LPNAI) and HPMAI. X-ray diffraction and organic geochemistry are combined to reveal the mineralogy. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, Barrett–Joyner–Halenda, and Horvath–Kawazoe analyses via LPNAI are used to investigate the pore structures. Results show that APD increases with organic matter (OM) proxied by total organic carbon and decreases with clay minerals and the sum of quartz and feldspar. OM dramatically contributes to the APD as multiple-layer adsorption exists, and the APD for OM could be 1.4–8.5 times that for clay minerals. Other inorganic minerals contribute less to APD. The properties and constitution of the surface area instead of the volume fraction contribute to the APD in shales. APD does not show an obvious correlation with micropore volume, likely related to the ratio of micropore volume to the total pore volume. Here, we provide a significant and comprehensive study of petrological factors that impact the APD of subsurface shale gas, which will improve the estimation of supercritical adsorption and shale GIP under reservoir conditions. Also, the findings in this work can provide applications for subsurface carbon dioxide adsorption and storage.

Enhanced ZIF-8-enabled colorimetric CO 2 sensing through dye-precursor synthesis

The accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) within enclosed spaces, along with volatile organic compounds, under certain humidity, temperature, and ventilation conditions is associated with detrimental human health symptoms such as fatigue. Color-based chemical sensing is a promising approach to detect CO 2 levels relevant to indoor air quality through producing fast, quantifiable output visible to the naked eye. In a prior work, a colorimetric gas sensor was fabricated through synthesizing the metal-organic framework, ZIF-8, as the adsorbent, followed by post-synthetic mixing with a dye, phenol red (PSP), and primary amine, ethylenediamine (ED). While this sensor (termed PSP-ED/ZIF-8) maintained its structural integrity in atmospheric conditions and exhibited an increasing fuchsia-to-yellow color change with increasing CO 2 levels in dry environment, the colorimetric response greatly suffered in the presence of humid CO 2 . Here in this work, a significantly improved colorimetric CO 2 sensor (referred to as ED/PSP:ZIF-8) is accomplished through directly incorporating phenol red in the ZIF-8 metal and linker precursor solutions and then blending with ethylenediamine. MATLAB-generated color distributions and in-situ ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopic studies quantitatively demonstrate an enhanced colorimetric gas response of ED/PSP:ZIF-8 compared to that of PSP-ED/ZIF-8 across an important range of CO 2 for indoor air quality monitoring (500 – 3500 ppm) and across a range of humidity. The new sensor also exhibits high selectivity to CO 2 compared to select volatile organic compounds, such as acetone and ethanol, which contribute to human health symptoms experienced indoors. The enhanced performance is attributed to the proposed incorporation of phenol red within ZIF-8, while maintaining the chemical stability of the MOF.

Catalytic Reaction Triggered by Magnetic Induction Heating Mechanistically Distinguishes Itself from the Standard Thermal Reaction

As a recent advancement in chemical engineering, magnetic induction heating (MIH) is utilized to initiate the intended reactions by enabling the self-heating of the ferromagnetic catalyst particles. While MIH can be energy-efficient and industrially scalable, its full potential has been underappreciated in catalysis because of the perception that MIH is merely an alternative heating approach. Unexpectedly, we show that the MIH-triggered reaction could go beyond standard thermal catalysis. Specifically, by probing the representative Pt/Fe 3 O 4 catalysts with CO oxidation in both thermal and MIH modes with consistent temperature profiles and catalyst structures, we found that the MIH mode boosts the reactivity more than 25 times by modifying Pt-FeO x interfacial synergies and promoting facile oxidation of the adsorbed carbonyl species by atomic oxygen. Further, as we preliminarily observed, this beneficial MIH-catalysis can be translational to other thermal reactions, potentially paving the way to launch MIH-catalysis as a distinct reaction category.

Spectroscopic Probe Molecule Selection Using Quantum Theory, First-Principles Calculations, and Machine Learning

Probe molecule vibrational spectra have a long history of being used to characterize materials including metals, oxides, metal-organic frameworks, and even human proteins. Furthermore, recent advances in machine learning have enabled computationally generated spectra to aid in detailed characterization of complex surfaces with probe molecules. Despite widespread use of probe molecules, the science of probe molecule selection is underdeveloped. Here, we develop physical concepts, including orbital interaction energy and the energy overlap integral, to explain and predict the ability of probe molecules to discriminate structural descriptors. We resolve the crystal orbital overlap population (COOP) to specific molecular orbitals and quantify their bonding character, which directly influences vibrational frequencies. Using only a single adsorbate calculation from density function theory (DFT), we compute the interaction energy of individual adsorbate molecular orbitals with adsorption site atomic orbitals across many different sites. Combining the molecular orbital resolved COOP and changes in orbital interaction energy enables probe molecule selection for improved discrimination of various sites. We demonstrate these concepts by comparing the predicted effectiveness of carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), and ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) to probe Pt adsorption sites. Finally, using a previously developed machine learning framework, we show that models trained on hundreds of thousand C 2 H 4 spectra, computed from DFT, which regress surface binding-type and generalized coordination number (GCN), outperform those trained using CO and NO spectra. Lastly, a python package, pDOS_overlap, for implementing the electron density based analysis on any combination of adsorbates and materials, is also made available.

Site and Structural Requirements for the Dehydra-Decyclization of Cyclic Ethers on ZrO2

In this study, we examined the site and structural requirements for the dehydra-decyclization of cyclic ethers, tetrahydrofuran, and tetrahydropyran to produce conjugated dienes over ZrO2-based catalysts, a reaction that could be an important step in the use of biomass-derived sugars as a starting material to produce monomers for the plastics industry. To help identify the active sites for this reaction, studies were conducted in which ZrO2 surfaces were decorated with Na. These studies showed that Na was effective at poisoning the activity for the ring opening of cyclic ethers, but much less so for the dehydration of the resulting adsorbed alkoxides. The studies of the activity of different types of ZrO2 for the dehydra-decyclization reaction, including single crystals and ultra-thin films supported on MgAl2O4 and silica, also showed that the reaction was dependent on the local structure of the ZrO2 surface. The insights these results provide for identifying the active sites on the ZrO2 surface are discussed.

Mitigation of safety and environmental challenges posed by refrigerants

The abatement of safety and environmental burden associated with low and ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants is a critical undertaking. As the industry shifts towards more environmentally friendly alternatives, mitigating the potential risks and ensuring safety standards becomes paramount. The adoption of mildly and highly flammable refrigerants contributes significantly to minimizing the greenhouse gas impact on the environment, aligning with global climate and sustainability goals. However, it is essential to address safety concerns and potential environmental implications associated with the end use of these refrigerants. A method to mitigate the safety risk in a flammable refrigerant based heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) system is the primary focus of this paper. Advent of A2L and A3 refrigerants as replacements to high GWP refrigerants requires careful handling of leak episodes to lower or eliminate the risk associated with creating flammable mixtures capable of fire/explosion hazard. Solid materials tailored to target the molecule of interest (i.e., refrigerant.) by engineering the microporous structure as well as chemically functionalizing the surface to attract and hold on to the chemical compound being removed from the gas stream was realized. Quantitative analysis reveals the adsorbent's effectiveness in reducing leak potential in the range of 40 %–100 % for various refrigerants. Strategic placement and active leak management with negative pressure offer promising avenues for capturing leaked refrigerants, enhancing overall safety.

Plasmon-Induced CO 2 Conversion on Al@Cu 2 O: A DFT Study

In plasmonic catalysis, localized surface plasmon was leveraged to drive chemical reactions. This approach is promising for catalyzing many challenging reactions at relatively low temperatures and pressures. We apply density functional calculations to provide the insight for the mechanism of plasmon-induced direct CO 2 dissociation on an Al@Cu 2 O core-shell structure, which was observed in a previous experimental study. We show that the interaction of Cu 2 O with CO 2 results in the accessible antibonding states of the adsorbed CO 2 in the range of visible light. Though the intrinsic activation barrier for direct CO 2 dissociation is as high as 3.6 eV, we find that an effective reaction barrier of CO 2 dissociation under photon excitation could be reduced by 2 eV. We also show that the charge transfer is more pronounced in the final state of the dissociation due to the strong hybridization of the dissociated species with Cu 2 O. These results thus provide an explanation for the visible-light-induced direct CO 2 dissociation at relatively low temperature and under ambient pressure. This finding also shows the promising impact of plasmonic catalysis in mitigating carbon emission.

Mechanistic Investigations of Gas-Phase Catalytic Hydrogenation in Metal–Organic Frameworks: Cooperative Activity of the Metal and Linker Sites in Cu x Rh 3– x (BTC) 2

We report the Cu x Rh 3–x (BTC) 2 catalyst (abbreviated CuRhBTC, BTC 3– = benzene tricarboxylate) provides excellent dispersion of active metal sites coupled with well-defined, robust structures for propylene hydrogenation reactions. This material therefore serves as a unique prototype for understanding catalytic activity in metal organic frameworks (MOFs). The mechanism of gas-phase hydrogenation at the bimetallic metal nodes of a MOF has been investigated in detail for the first time using in situ spectroscopy and diffraction experiments combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The reaction occurs via a cooperative process in which the metal and linker sites play complementary roles; specifically, H 2 is dissociated at a Rh 2+ site with a missing Rh–O bond, while protonation of the decoordinated carboxylate linker stabilizes the active sites and promotes H 2 dissociation. In situ X-ray diffraction experiments show that the crystalline structure of the MOF is retained under reaction conditions at 20–100 °C. In situ Raman spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) experiments demonstrate that propylene adsorbs at both Rh 2+ and Cu 2+ sites via π bonding. Cu 2+ is catalytically inactive, but at Rh 2+ sites, a propyl intermediate is observed when H 2 is introduced into the propylene feed. Furthermore, the appearance of the O–H stretch of COOH at ~3690 cm –1 in the DRIFT spectra is characteristic of defects consisting of missing Rh–O bonds. These experimental results are in general agreement with a reaction mechanism proposed by DFT, in which the decoordinated carboxylate linker is protonated, and the active Rh 2+ site remains available for readsorption of reactants in the subsequent catalytic cycle.

Lanthanum induced lattice strain improves hydrogen sulfide capacities of copper oxide adsorbents

This work probes the effects of La on reactions involving CuO sorbents and H 2 S in gaseous streams. La-CuO sorbents with nominal La/Cu atomic ratios of 1:2 achieved higher capacities (27 and 36 g H 2 S per 100 g sorbent) compared to CuO sorbents (25 g H 2 S per 100 g sorbent). Here, comparison of the La-CuO sorbents using energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and La L 3 -edge XAS suggested that increased capacity resulted from more uniform dispersion of La within the CuO phase (3.3 wt.% vs. 1.0 wt.% La). X-Ray absorption near edge structure analysis suggested more electron-rich Cu species in La-CuO samples, while extended X-ray absorption fine structure modeling showed an increase in single-scattering path lengths for neighboring and near-neighbor atoms. These changes suggest that La induces strain in the Cu-O lattice, thereby increasing H 2 S capacity by reducing energy barriers associated with surface reactions between oxygen atoms and adsorbed H 2 S molecules.
