Effect of N 2 - and CO 2 -containing shielding gases on composition modification and carbonitride precipitation in wire arc additive manufactured grade 91 steel
Additive manufacturing (AM) represents a promising technique to fabricate metallic alloys with greater control of the resulting material features as compared to traditional manufacturing routes. Recently, there is greater interest in AM research on 9 wt% Cr ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels, which are commonly studied for use in the nuclear energy industry. This work aims to prove that wire arc AM can manufacture F/M steels with adequate mechanical properties in multiple processing atmospheres and aims to study how shielding gas composition can be leveraged during fabrication to induce specific precipitation pathways. The effect of shielding gas composition on MX (M=Nb and/or V, Xdouble bondC and/or N) carbonitride precipitation in a 9 wt% Cr ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steel alloy known as Grade 91 was studied using N 2 and CO 2 gas additions to an inert Ar shielding gas atmosphere during wire arc AM. The N and C atoms present in the processing atmospheres were absorbed into the melt pools during fabrication. Due to their differing affinities for precipitate-forming reactions, the varying levels of C and N between the samples contributed to differences in final carbonitride composition and morphologies. Such precipitate behavior is of interest as carbonitrides have been shown to contribute to increased mechanical performance. This increased performance was studied via electron microscopy and tested for strength, ductility, and fracture properties.

Effects of SO 2 poisoning and regeneration on spinel containing CH 4 oxidation catalysts
Methane oxidation under periodic conditions and the oxygen storage capacity of a bilayer Pt/Pd/Al 2 O 3 over a Mn 0.5 Fe 2.5 O 4 spinel catalyst were studied before and after SO 2 exposure, and after simulated regeneration conditions. Prior to sulfur exposure, improvement in CH 4 oxidation conversion under periodic conditions compared to steady-state conditions was observed. After sulfur exposure at 100 °C, there was a loss in CH 4 oxidation performance and a loss of oxygen storage capacity of the spinel material. Here, the extent of regeneration from sulfur poisoning depends on the ability to induce the decomposition of sulfate species, and while all regeneration methods tested in this study did improve CH 4 conversion, regeneration methods under periodic conditions induced greater sulfur species desorption from the catalyst surface leading to improved CH 4 con version. Key regeneration parameters – temperature, feed composition, modulation amplitude and frequency – were optimized to induce S species decomposition and correlated to CH 4 oxidation activity recovery.

Phenylene-linked tetrapyrrole arrays containing free base and diverse metal chelate forms – Versatile synthetic architectures for catalysis and artificial photosynthesis
Tetrapyrrole macrocycles are central to photosynthesis yet a single macrocycle does not carry out photosynthesis; rather, assemblies of tetrapyrrole macrocycles work in concert in antenna complexes, reaction centers, and electron-transport chains to harvest sunlight, funnel excited-state energy and separate charge for biological use. A longstanding theme in artificial photosynthesis has been to construct covalently linked “arrays” of metalated and free base tetrapyrrole macrocycles for fundamental studies of such processes, which entail excited-state and ground-state interactions. Among linkers in arrays chemistry, the 1,2-, 1,3-, or 1,4-disubstituted phenylene unit has proved very attractive owing to the resulting short distance, defined architecture, and appropriate extent of electronic coupling of adjacent macrocycles to give rapid electron and/or energy transfer while largely retaining desired spectral features. Eight distinct strategies to construct phenylene-linked tetrapyrrole arrays are identified in a review with comprehensive coverage since inception in the early 1970s through mid-year 2021. The arrays predominantly incorporate porphyrins with very few chlorins and bacteriochlorins, reflecting historic availability of synthetic methods for macrocycle formation. Of the eight strategies, only two appear applicable to (bacterio)chlorins. While studies in artificial photosynthesis have largely fueled this field, applications in catalysis have also been examined. Altogether >400 arrays are covered. The review delves into synthesis and molecular design, sketches photophysical properties, and suggests unrealized opportunities in arrays chemistry.

A new hypothesis for air loss in cement systems containing fly ash
Although there are many benefits gained from incorporating fly ash into concrete, carbon contamination in the fly ash has been shown to interfere with the efficacy of organic additives in an unpredictable manner. This work uses surface tension measurements to quantify the adsorption of air-entraining agents (AEA) onto cement and fly ash. Both the adsorption capacity of the adsorbents and the adsorption isotherms indicate that the fly ash particles, rather than the carbon itself, dominate adsorption in a carbon-contaminated ash in cement pore solution. We propose that adsorption onto fly ash particles and cement actually improve air entrainment via Pickering stabilization. While the carbon is still expected to contribute to air loss via hydrophobic adsorption of the surfactants, we suggest that the primary way in which the carbon interferes is by shielding surfactant-coated fly ash particles from participating in air development and Pickering stabilization during mixing.
