In Situ Studies of the Swelling by an Electrolyte in Electrochemical Doping of Ethylene Glycol-Substituted Polythiophene
Organic mixed ionic electronic conductors (OMIECs) have the potential to enable diverse new technologies, ranging from biosensors to flexible energy storage devices and neuromorphic computing platforms. However, a study of these materials in their operating state, which convolves both passive and potential-driven solvent, cation, and anion ingress, is extremely difficult, inhibiting rational material design. In this report, we present a novel approach to the in situ studies of the electrochemical switching of a prototypical OMIEC based on oligoethylene glycol (oEG) substitution of semicrystalline regioregular polythiophene via grazing-incidence X-ray scattering. Here by studying the crystal lattice both dry and in contact with the electrolyte while maintaining potential control, we can directly observe the evolution of the crystalline domains and their relationship to film performance in an electrochemically gated transistor. Despite the oEG side-chain enabling bulk electrolyte uptake, we find that the crystalline regions are relatively hydrophobic, exhibiting little (less than one water per thiophene) swelling of the undoped polymer, suggesting that the amorphous regions dominate the reported passive swelling behavior. With applied potential, we observe that the π–π separation in the crystals contracts while the lamella spacing increases in a balanced fashion, resulting in a negligible change in the crystal volume. The potential-induced changes in the crystal structure do not clearly correlate to the electrical performance of the film as an organic electrochemical transistor, suggesting that the transistor performance is strongly influenced by the amorphous regions of the film.

Critical Hydrogen Coverage Effect on the Hydrogenation of Ethylene Catalyzed by δ-MoC(001): An Ab Initio Thermodynamic and Kinetic Study
Highly selective oxidation of methane to methanol has long been challenging in catalysis. Here, we reveal key steps for the promotion by water when tuning the selectivity of a well-defined CeO 2 /Cu 2 O/Cu(111) catalyst from CO and CO 2 to methanol under a reaction environment with methane, oxygen, and water. Ambient-pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that water added to CH 4 and O 2 led to surface CH 3 O and accelerated methanol production. These results were consistent with density functional theory calculations and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations which showed that water preferentially dissociates over the active Ce ions at the CeO 2 -Cu 2 O/Cu(111) interface. The adsorbed OH blocked O-O bond cleavage that would dehydrogenate CH 3 O to CO and CO 2 , and it directly converted this species to methanol, while O 2 now reoxidized the reduced surface. Water adsorption also displaced the produced methanol into the gas phase.
