A Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Study of Cation and Anion Dynamics in Polymer–Ceramic Composite Solid Electrolytes

Polymer–ceramic composite electrolytes are promising for the application of all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries with high energy density and improved safety. In this work, we employ temperature-dependent 7 Li and 19 F NMR to examine the chemical environment and the dynamics of Li + cation and triflate anion in poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)–lithium triflate (LiTf) polymer electrolyte and a composite electrolyte containing 55 vol % doped lithium aluminum titanium phosphate (LICGC). The line shape analysis and spin–lattice relaxation (T 1 ) measurements suggest both the Li + cations and the Tf – anions reside in two distinct environment: a mobile environment and an immobile environment. In the semicrystalline state, a large ratio (>70%) of immobile Li + and Tf – is observed. In the melt state, the ratio of mobile cations and anions significantly increases. With the presence of LICGC ceramic, an increased ratio of immobile Li + and Tf – and reduced mobility of the mobile components are observed, indicating that the ceramic negatively impacts the transport of both the cations and the anions. NMR characterizations are corroborated by conductivity results, which reveal that the intrinsic ionic conductivity of the polymer phase of the composite electrolyte was only 0.15 of the ceramic-free polymer electrolyte at room temperature. These results shed light on the challenges inherent to composite electrolytes with the goal of achieving both enhanced Li + transference number and ionic conductivity.

Halide sublattice dynamics drive Li-ion transport in antiperovskites

Here, in this work, we resolve how proton dynamics and halide mixing enhance or impede ionic conduction in protonated lithium antiperovskites (pLiAP) at compositions near the eutectic points of the halide salts. As a material class, pLiAPs of the form Li 3-x OH x X, (X = Cl, Br) show vast compositional design freedom; however, the resulting properties are susceptible to synthesis and processing methodologies. Proton incorporation and halide mixing stabilize the perovskite cubic phase at low temperatures (<50 °C) and using halide mixtures near the eutectic points (~250 to 300 °C) offer possibilities of lower temperature and faster synthesis and processing conditions (<1 h). Mixed-halide compositions such as Li 2 OHCl 0.37 Br 0.63 lead to a 30-fold improvement in room temperature ionic conductivity of a single halide structure, 1.5 × 10 -6 vs. 4.9 × 10 -8 S cm -1 (Li 2 OHCl). We combine infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance with first-principles density functional theory calculations to deconvolute halide mixing effects from local proton dynamics on Li-ion transport. In contrast to what has been supposed, our findings suggest that the halide sublattice dynamics, besides the OH rotation, correlate strongly with the fast-ion conduction at high temperatures.

Scanning Probe Microscope to Map Thermal and Thermoelectric Properties of Combinatorial Materials

The combinatorial methodology offers a high-throughput process for developing radiation-resistant sensor materials for nuclear energy applications through the synthesis and screening of large numbers of compositions and processing conditions in a single process. The combinatorial materials fabrication coupled with an automated screening process enables us to identify the optimal materials composition and processing conditions that yield both desired properties and required irradiation resistance in the most efficient and economic manner. The report focuses on the development of scanning probe technique to map with high resolution the thermal conductivity, Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity of combinatory materials with gradient compositions, which has been a key challenge in combinatory materials science. The above three properties play important roles in many sensor materials for nuclear energy applications.

Deciphering the Evolution of Current Distribution in Hybrid Silver Vanadium Oxide / Carbon Monofluoride Cathodes within Lithium Primary Batteries

For batteries to function effectively all active material must be accessible requiring both electron and ion transport to each particle. A common approach to generating the needed conductive network is the addition of carbon to create a composite electrode. An alternative approach is the electrochemically induced formation of conductive reaction products where the electrochemically generated materials are in intimate contact with the active material contributing to effective connection of each active particle. Furthermore, this study probes silver vanadium oxide (Ag 2 V 4 O 11 , SVO), carbon monofluoride (CF x ), and hybrid SVO/CF x electrodes in lithium batteries. Ex situ XRD identifies Ag 0 as a reduction product from SVO and LiF from CF x that can be followed as a function of depth-of-discharge (DOD). Spatially-resolved operando energy dispersive x-ray diffraction reveals that the presence of SVO alleviates reaction heterogeneity in the electrodes which are electron transfer limited in the absence of sufficient Ag 0 . Synchrotron X-ray tomography on discharged cathodes reveals the distribution of silver particles where the particles are more closely spaced near the current collector indicating multiple nucleation sites for their formation. Finally, operando isothermal microcalorimetry is used to determine the heat dissipation of the parent and hybrid battery types. Using material enthalpy potentials, we determine the current distribution between the two active materials for the discharging hybrid cathode adding further insight to the diffraction analysis. Taken together, these results provide a comprehensive understanding of hybrid SVO/CF x cathodes and give guidance on optimal compositions that balance power and energy density considerations.

Influence of weave architecture on mechanical response of SiC f -SiC m tubular composites

Due to their high resistance to radiation damage and elevated temperature, silicon carbide fiber-reinforced, silicon carbide matrix composites (SiC f -SiC m ) are identified as potential cladding structures for use in nuclear reactors. In this study, four composite architectures with varying ply numbers along the thickness direction and different biaxial or triaxial plain weave orientations at either 45° or 60°, were systematically evaluated under various stress states to assess the influence of weave architecture on mechanical performance. Experiments were conducted on SiC f -SiC m composite tubes under tensile hoop, axial compression, and rotating flexural loading to evaluate the mechanical response and investigate the failure modes using high-speed imaging and digital image correlation (DIC) techniques. It was found that for tensile hoop burst and flexural loading, the braiding angle had the most significant influence on the strength of the composite, whereas the effect of fiber angle was more limited for compression testing. Under axial compression a unique failure mode where a microcrack nucleates and grows only to a length equal to the thickness of a single yarn was identified. This crack growth behavior is reflected as periodic oscillations in the load-displacement response. For both axial and hoop loading, regardless of weave angle and number of plies, failure always initiated parallel to the tube axis in a single yarn and the cumulative interaction of these microcracks lead to either axial burst or fracture at an angle to the tube axis along a yarn. Furthermore, these results point to the importance of customizing the design of tube architecture for enhanced performance in specified nuclear applications.

In Situ Alloying Enabled by Active Liquid Metal Filler for Self‐Healing Composite Polymer Electrolytes

Abstract Solid inorganics, known for kinetically inhibiting polymer crystallization and enhancing ionic conductivity, have attracted significant attention in solid polymer electrolytes. However, current composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) are still facing challenges in Li metal batteries, falling short of inhibiting severe dendritic growth and resulting in very limited cycling life. This study introduces Ga 62.5 In 21.5 Sn 16 (Galinstan) liquid metal (LM) as an active liquid alternative to conventional passive solid fillers, aiming at realizing self‐healing protection against dendrite problems. Compared to solid inorganics, for example silica, LM droplets could more significantly reduce polymer crystallinity and enhance Li‐ion conductivity due to their liquid nature, especially at temperatures below the polymer melting point. More importantly, LMs are unraveled as dynamic chemical traps, which are capable of blocking and consuming lithium dendrites upon contact via in situ alloying during battery operation and further inhibiting dendritic growth due to the lower deposition energy barrier of the formed Li‐LM alloy. As a proof of concept, by strategically designing an asymmetric CPE with the active LM filling, a solid‐state Li/LiFePO 4 battery achieves promising full‐cell functionality with notable rate performance and stable cycle life. This active filler‐mediated self‐healing approach could bring new insights into the battery design in versatile solid‐state systems.

Dielectric Barrier Discharge Electrothermal Heating and Additive Manufacturing of Thermoset Parts

Additive manufacturing of thermosets requires a mechanism for solidifying deposited layers in order to prevent part collapse. To accomplish this, non‐equilibrium plasma is proposed for its ability to target, heat, and cure printed thermosetting resin. Non‐equilibrium plasmas have not been used for the curing of liquid thermoset composites, and so their impact on an uncured resin is unknown. Here this work investigates the mechanism through which dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) heats an epoxy/carbon nanotube (CNT) composite under atmospheric conditions. Plasma applied to resin surfaces is found to cause rapid heating, with heating rate controlled by adjusting the applied power. Heating is localized to within the top 0.5 mm of the sample surface and maximum temperature is found to depend on sample conductivity, indicating the heating reaction occurs through a combination of electron conduction and ion bombardment. Characterization of composites cured using plasma shows oxidation and roughening of the surface. Based on the heating and surface studies, several demonstrative prints are performed using in situ plasma curing. This work shows the potential of DBD plasma to rapidly heat liquid substrates and demonstrates how plasma curing expands the capability of existing direct ink write (DIW) printer technologies.

Correlating electronic properties with M-site composition in solid solution Ti y Nb 2- y CT x MXenes

High electrical conductivity is desired in MXene films for applications such as electromagnetic interference shielding, antennas, and electrodes for electrochemical energy storage and conversion applications. Due to the acid etching-based synthesis method, it is challenging to deconvolute the relative importance that factors such as chemical composition and flake size contribute to resistivity. To understand the intrinsic and extrinsic contributions to the macroscopic electronic transport properties, a systematic study controlling compositional and structural parameters was conducted with eight solid solutions in the Ti y Nb 2-y CT x system. Here, in particular, we investigated the different roles played by metal (M)-site composition, flake size, and d-spacing on macroscopic transport. Hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry revealed changes to electronic structure induced by the M-site alloying. Consistent with the spectroscopic results, the low- and room-temperature conductivities and effective carrier mobility are correlated with the Ti content, while the impact of flake size and d-spacing is most prominent in low-temperature transport. The results provide guidance for designing and engineering MXenes with a wide range of conductivities.

Enhanced lightning strike protection using vertically oriented carbon fiber melded with conventional carbon fiber-reinforced composite and its validation through damage analysis

Lightning strike protection (LSP) is one of the prime factors in aerospace and wind industries concerning safety, enhanced service life, and reduced downtime. To ensure better LSP, high electrical conductivity is required to dissipate the current, which is always a challenge for polymer composites due to the inherent insulating nature of the polymer matrix. Conventional carbon fiber-reinforced composites (CFRP) offer electrical conductivity in the planar direction while the vertical i.e. through-thickness conductivity still remains a challenge. Having been motivated by this fact, we have fabricated CFRP interleaved with vertically oriented CF (Z-fiber) for the lightning strike test (100 kA). A paint was applied to mimic the actual service condition of the composite laminates. We have prepared two Z-fiber composites: (a) Z-1 containing one Z-fiber layer on the top along with conventional CF layers and (b) Z-5 containing five interleaved Z-fiber layers and compared the properties with conventional CFRP (Z-0). Interestingly, even a single Z-fiber layer (Z-1) showed lower damage (visual damage diameter 22 mm) than Z-0 (visual damage diameter 26 mm). Z-5 displayed the lowest damage (visual damage diameter 16.7 mm), which was further confirmed by cross-sectional optical microscopy. Improved LSP was attributed to the higher through-thickness electrical conductivity in the case of Z-5 (9 times with respect to Z-0) reflecting a lower electrical anisotropy for Z-fiber composites. The residual mechanical property after the lightning test was analyzed through the flexural test, and the retention of flexural strength and modulus was 66% and 86%, respectively for Z-5 showing a significant improvement in comparison to Z-0 (>40% for both).

Effects of Plasticizer Content and Ceramic Addition on Electrochemical Properties of Cross-Linked Polymer Electrolyte

The development of a safe electrolyte is the key to improving energy density for next generation lithium batteries. In this work, UV-crosslinked poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) -based polymer and composite electrolytes are systematically investigated on their ionic conductivity, mechanical and electrochemical properties. The polymer electrolytes are plasticized with non-flammable linear short-chain PEO. In the composite electrolytes, a doped lithium aluminum titanium phosphate (LATP) ceramic, LICGC™, is used as the ceramic filler. It is found that the addition of the plasticizer leads to a tradeoff between ion transport and mechanical properties. In contrast, the addition of ceramic fillers improves both the ionic conductivity and mechanical properties. The sample with 20 wt% of LICGC™ shows a conductivity of ~0.6 mS cm –1 at 50 °C. This sample also demonstrates much longer cycle life than the neat polymer electrolyte in Li platting/stripping test with a capacity of 1 mAh cm –2 . Further, a full cell made with this composite electrolyte against Li metal anode and high voltage LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 O 2 cathode shows 94% capacity retention after 30 cycles, compared to 58% capacity retention with the neat polymer electrolyte. These results demonstrate that a hybrid of polymer/ceramic/non-flammable plasticizer is a promising path to high energy density, high voltage lithium batteries.

In-situ ionothermal synthesis of nanoporous carbon/oxide composites: A new key to functional separators for stable lithium-sulfur batteries

Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) with high energy density are promising for energy storage. However, conventional polypropylene-based separator cannot avoid polysulfides shuttling which impedes the practical application of LSBs. Herein, an in-situ ionothermal synthesis strategy that concurrently applies ionic liquid as the solvent, template and high-yield carbon source is proposed for the facile preparation of nanoporous carbon/oxide composite separator modifiers. The composites exhibit features of high polarity, self doping, oxygen vacancy, heteroatom doping, abundant defects and high electronic conductivity. Theoretical and experimental studies suggest that the composites can efficiently trap and convert polysulfides for high-performance LSBs. Indeed, in the composite-modified LSBs with next-generation roll-to-roll dry-processed high-loading sulfur cathodes, enhanced performance is achieved, revealing the effectiveness of the composites as functional materials towards separator modification. Therefore, the proposed strategy and its delivered nanoporous composites exhibit excellent versatility and practicality for high-performance LSBs.

Disorder-driven localization and electron interactions in Bi x ⁢ TeI thin films

Strong disorder has a crucial effect on the electronic structure in quantum materials by increasing localization, interactions, and modifying the density of states. Bi x TeI films grown at room temperature and 230 K exhibit dramatic magnetotransport effects due to disorder, localization, and electron correlation effects, including a metal-insulator transition at a composition that depends on growth temperature. The increased disorder caused by growth at 230 K causes the conductivity to decrease by several orders of magnitude for several compositions of Bi x TeI. The transition from metal to insulator with decreasing composition x is accompanied by a decrease in the dephasing length, which leads to the disappearance of the weak-antilocalization effect. Electron-electron interactions cause low temperature conductivity corrections on the metallic side and Efros-Shklovskii variable range hopping on the insulating side, effects which are absent in single crystalline Bi x TeI. Finally, the observation of a tunable metal-insulator transition and the associated strong localization and quantum effects in Bi x TeI shows the possibility of tuning spin transport in quantum materials via disorder.

Bamboo Bio-composite Truck/Trailer Decking

Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. Massively productive, bamboo will maintain that productivity with limited inputs and minimal management resulting in predictable volume and operating margins and with low overhead. The goal of this project was to develop a bamboo bio-composite trailer decking product that replaces apitong, is lighter weight, stronger and luminescent. The collaboration partners, Fontaine, Resource Fiber and IACMI, worked closely to develop the bamboo bio-composite decking to Fontaine Trailer’s (end-user) specifications. The various technological objectives were (a) To conduct a comprehensive Design of Experiments study for bamboo composites to understand the structure-property relationships for different resin composites and bamboo forms (strips, woven, bulk etc); (b) To establish the nail pull out characteristics of trailer deck geometry bamboo composite form. The nail pull out is a critical test in trailer decks; (c) To design, process and prototype select number of trailer decking planks for Fontaine evaluation; and (d) To conduct life cycle analysis to conduct energy calculations from the various conversion steps of the bamboo from crop to product. The project meets DOE/IACMI metrics of reduced embodied energy, lightweighting and lowering the cost of the end product. It also offers a green solution to a value-added application, i.e. trailer decking. The development goals and benefits of bamboo composite decking included: A. Decreased weight when compared to Apitong and Gen 1, thereby reducing operating costs and petroleum usage due to increased miles per gallon. B. Flexibility to allow camber design into trailers. C. Luminescence to increase safety during low light and dark conditions. D. Composite material to maximize use of bamboo bio-composites as substitute for petroleum-based composites. E. Embedded layer(s) of conditioned bamboo for added strength and stability. F. Improved safety over Apitong by temporary cargo indentation in planks for better stability. G. Cradle-to-cradle design so end-of-life becomes beginning-of-life for other products. Resource Fiber’s bamboo biocomposite trailer decking passed nail pullout tests as compared to apitong (incumbent), was lighter weight than apitong, and used less embodied energy particularly when bamboo is sourced domestically. The planks were optimized in the lab setting to the extent possible and successfully installed on the trailer at Fontaine for field testing. Despite the process not being fully optimized due to through-heat and tooling limitations within the budget constraints, the prototype decking withstood 400 cycles of reverse fatigue loading of a 107,000 lb Caterpillar 349F which was extreme conditions of field testing by Fontaine Trailer. Resource Fiber plans to outsource production of a next round of planks with a commercial pultrusion processor, then to do a re-test with Fontaine Trailers. Tooling specific to the part is required. Long-term commercial plans are to continue outsourcing production while supplying bamboo fiber and mats. Commercial markets include heavy haul trailers, military trailers, and decking for marine, industrial and residential use.

Aligned carbon fibers-carbon nanotube-polymer-based composite as lithium-ion battery current collector

High energy density demand is pushing the development of high-voltage cathode materials, which necessitates improved electrochemical stability of other battery components such as binders, electrolytes, and current collectors. Current collectors are considered to be an inactive component but still play an essential role. In this study, a metal-free composite film containing directionally aligned carbon fiber (CF), carbon nanotube (CNT), and polymer (P) was developed to replace aluminum foil as a cathode current collector, which relies on forming an Al 2 O 3 layer to ensure electrochemical stability at high voltage. Here, each component in the new cathode current collector played a functional role. The CNTs provided uniform current densities, and CFs improved the electronic conductivity and mechanical strength of the composite material. The polymer enhanced the adhesion of the cathode coating with the current collector and provided an impervious support to the cathode materials. The CF-CNT-P composite demonstrated excellent electrochemical and thermal stability. Cathodes coated on the CF-CNT-P composite exhibited lower charge transfer resistance, improved rate capability, and improved cyclic stability compared with the cathodes deposited on conventional aluminum foil. Additionally, the composite current collector was lighter (1.81 mg/cm 2 and 15 µm thick) than the commonly used aluminum foil (4.35 mg/cm2 and 15 µm thick), which can increase the cell energy density. Additionally, the CF-CNT-P did not need to be separated from the cathode coating during recycling and can be burnt out with binder, simplifying the recycling process.

Advancing Aerosol Chemical Characterization and Vertical Profiling over the Southern Great Plains Using Uncrewed Aerial Sampling and Offline Aerosol Mass Spectrometry

Recent advancements in uncrewed aerial systems (UASs) and particulate matter (PM) analytical techniques have provided opportunities for atmospheric research. In this study, we deployed the Department of Energy’s fixed-wing ArcticShark UAS to examine PM 2.5 composition at varying altitudes─within and above the planetary boundary layer (PBL)─over the Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory (SGP). A total of 22 flights were conducted across March, June, and August 2023. Composite filter samples were collected during each flight and analyzed with offline aerosol mass spectrometry (AMS), complemented by on-board real-time sensors and ground-based instrumentation, to provide a comprehensive view of regional aerosol characteristics. Results show clear vertical and seasonal differences in the aerosol composition. Relative to ground-level measurements, aloft samples exhibited shifts in the distribution of organic and inorganic PM, with the organic composition varying distinctly across seasons. Particulate organic nitrogen (ON) was elevated, with bulk compositions similar in March and June but strongly altered in August, likely driven by biomass burning and enhanced photochemical activity. Combined AMS and chemical ionization mass spectrometry analyses detected amines, amides, and amino acids. PM above the planetary boundary layer was enriched in oxidized organic aerosols, while ground-level PM contained higher nitrate and sulfate. Seasonal differences in aqueous-phase processing were also observed, which were strongest in March during persistent cloud cover and weaker in the drier August period, suggesting a shift from aqueous- to gas-phase SOA formation. In conclusion, these findings highlight the value of UAS in advancing PM measurements and vertical profiling of aerosol composition.

An experimental investigation on the characteristics of heat pipes with annular type composite wick structure

Here, an experimental investigation has been conducted on the hydraulic characteristics of annular type wick structures for heat pipes. An experimental facility which can measure porosity, permeability, and effective pore radius of the wick structures in a vacuum condition is established. Nine different types of multi-layered (6 layers in total) composite screen meshes are characterized. Based on the measurement results, a wick structure composed of one layer of 100×100 mesh, three layers of 400×400 mesh, and two layers of 60×60 mesh is determined to have the highest permeability to effective pore radius ratio $(K/r_{eff})$ and was selected as a targeted sample. The wick-to-wall gap effect on the hydraulic characteristics of annular type wick structure is also investigated by measuring the permeability and effective pore radius of the sample wick structure with varying gap widths. The result shows that the permeability increases as the gap increases from 0 mm to 1.2 mm. After a peak at 1.2 mm, the permeability decreases as the gap increases and converges to the value of the case measured without a wall structure. The effective pore radius becomes smaller as the gap increases, making a peak at a gap distance of 1.2 mm. This result implies that there is an optimal point in gap distance which is determined to be 1.2 mm for the selected composite mesh structure. A capillary limitation correlation with a multiplying factor which explains the enhanced performance of the wick due to the gap is suggested. An annular wick type heat pipe is constructed and tested. The capillary limitation of the heat pipe showed good agreement with the suggested correlation.

A Cross‐Linked Flexible Metaferroelectrolyte Regulated by 2D/2D Perovskite Heterostructures for High‐Performance Compact Solid‐State Sodium Batteries

Abstract To address the issues of limited ionic conductivity and poor interface stability at room and low temperatures in solid‐state electrolytes, a robust intrinsic ferroelectrolyte or nanoferroelectrolyte strategy for engineering solid‐state flexible ferroelectric composite electrolytes utilizing strongly coupled intrinsic ion conducting 2D/2D sodium‐rich anti‐perovskite (NaRAP)/ferroelectric perovskite heterostructures is introduced. Herein, highly scalable PVDF‐based metaferroelectrolytes with Na 2.99 Ba 0.005 OCl/Ca 2 Na 2 Nb 5 O 16 − (CNNO − ) nanosheets into a ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF‐HFP) matrix, through an in situ cross‐linking and spontaneous bridging method, for compact solid‐state sodium batteries (SSBs), are reported. Benefiting from unique well‐dispersed 3D ferroelectric coupled network and the Na 2.99 Ba 0.005 OCl/CNNO − ‐induced PVDF‐HFP ferroelectric β phase, the Na + flux is regulated, thereby inhibiting Na dendrite growth at the interface. Notably, the optimized PH‐5% NC metaferroelectrolyte exhibits rapid ion transport (1.11 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 25 °C), a wide electrochemical window (> 4.8V), superior conformal mechanical compatibility, improved flexibility, good elasticity and flame retardancy. The solid‐state Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /PH‐5% NC/Na batteries present a stable cycling performance (remaining 56.4 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles at 1 C) even at 0 °C, potential for cost‐effective, safe, stable and compact SSB energy storage over 600 Wh L −1 , vastly surpassing 365 Wh L −1 of the current commercial sodium‐ion liquid‐electrolyte batteries.
