A Study of Ferrocene Diffusion in Toluene/Tween 20/1-Butanol/Water Microemulsions for Redox Flow Battery Applications

Redox flow batteries (RFBs) possess multiple advantages as a flexible energy storage solution. However, RFB researchers are still facing many challenges in finding an appropriate electrolyte. Microemulsions have recently been proposed as a promising alternative RFB electrolyte because of their ability to accommodate organic redox species with fast electron transfer rates that are not soluble in aqueous phase, while still offering the high conductivity of an aqueous salt electrolyte. In this work, we focused on understanding the transport of ferrocene (Fc) in a toluene/Tween 20/1-butanol/water model microemulsion and studied the compositional influence on Fc diffusion. The results show that Fc redistributes among the oil, surfactant, and water microenvironments, and the corresponding diffusion and partition coefficients are quantified. Thus, a tortuous path diffusion model is proposed to describe the mass transport of Fc to an electrode surface. Diffusion coefficients are also obtained by pulsed-field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG NMR), while the values for Fc diffusion are substantially higher than those from electrochemical measurements, suggesting that they measure samples in different ways. The current contributions from each microenvironment indicate that the Fc permeability is much higher in the oil, even though the electron transfer reaction is likely occurring in the surfactant.

Explaining persistent incomplete mixing in multicomponent reactive transport with Eulerian stochastic model

We present an Eulerian stochastic advection–diffusion–reaction (SADR) model and use it to explain incomplete mixing typically observed in transport experiments with bimolecular reactions. Unlike traditional advection– dispersion–reaction (ADR) models, the SADR model describes mechanical and diffusive mixing as two separate processes. In the SADR model, mechanical mixing is driven by random advective velocity whose variance is given by the coefficient of mechanical dispersion. The diffusive mixing is modeled as a Fickian diffusion process with the effective diffusion coefficient. We demonstrate that the sum of the two coefficients is equal to the dispersion coefficient, but only the effective diffusion coefficient contributes to the mixing-controlled reactions. We use experimental results of Gramling et al. * * to show that for transport and bimolecular reactions in porous media, the SADR model is significantly more accurate than the ADR model, which overestimates the concentration of the reaction product by as much as 60%. We also show that the SADR model predicts an experimentally observed bell- shaped spatial distribution of the reactive product concentration, while the ADR model results in a concentration distribution with an unphysical kink.

Diffusion and migration in polymer electrolytes

Mixtures of neutral polymers and lithium salts have the potential to serve as electrolytes in next-generation rechargeable Li-ion batteries. The purpose of this review is to expose the delicate interplay between polymer-salt interactions at the segmental level and macroscopic ion transport at the battery level. Since complete characterization of this interplay has only been completed in one system: mixtures of poly(ethylene oxide) and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (PEO/LiTFSI), we focus on data obtained from this system. We begin with a discussion of the activity coefficient, followed by a discussion of six different diffusion coefficients: the Rouse motion of polymer segments is quantified by D seg , the self-diffusion of cations and anions is quantified by D self,+ and D self,- , and the build-up of concentration gradients in electrolytes under an applied potential is quantified by Stefan-Maxwell diffusion coefficients, D 0+ , D 0- , and D +- . The Stefan-Maxwell diffusion coefficients can be used to predict the velocities of the ions at very early times after an electric field is applied across the electrolyte. The surprising result is that D 0- is negative in certain concentration windows. A consequence of this finding is that at these concentrations, both cations and anions are predicted to migrate toward the positive electrode at early times. We describe the controversies that surround this result. Knowledge of the Stefan-Maxwell diffusion coefficients enable prediction of the limiting current. We argue that the limiting current is the most important characteristic of an electrolyte. Excellent agreement between theoretical and experimental limiting current is seen in PEO/LiTFSI mixtures. What sequence of monomers that, when polymerized, will lead to the highest limiting current remains an important unanswered question. It is our hope that the approach presented in this review will guide the development of such polymers.

Multiscale, mechanistic modeling of irradiation-enhanced silver diffusion in TRISO particles

Tristructural isotropic (TRISO) particles are under consideration for use in several proposed advanced nuclear reactor concepts. The silicon carbide (SiC) layer in TRISO acts as a barrier to prevent the release of the fission products. However, despite remarkable retention, silver (Ag) release has been observed from intact particles, which requires investigation since the Ag isotope ( 110m Ag) has a long half-life. Previous work focused on developing a multiscale, mechanistic model for Ag diffusion accounting for temperature and microstructure effect and has been successfully validated. In this work, we expand the previous model to account for irradiation-enhanced Ag diffusivity in SiC and improve its accuracy over a wider grain size and temperature ranges relevant for advanced reactor conditions. A temperature, grain size, and flux dependent diffusivity is therefore derived using the mesoscale code MARMOT and implemented in the fuel performance code BISON. The irradiation-enhanced Ag diffusivity in SiC is compared against experimental data and validated using BISON against Ag release measurements from the Advanced Gas Reactor Fuel Development and Qualification Program (AGR-1 and AGR-2). Herein, we quantify the impact of SiC grain size, irradiation, and temperature on Ag release. In agreement with previous studies, we find accounting for SiC grain size improves agreement between BISON predictions and experimental observations for most cases. In conclusion, we also find that accounting for irradiation improves agreement for cases where Ag release was underestimated, but the impact was less significant than accounting for microstructure.

Where did the tumor start? An inverse solver with sparse localization for tumor growth models

In this work, we present a numerical scheme for solving an inverse problem for parameter estimation in tumor growth models for glioblastomas, a form of aggressive primary brain tumor. The growth model is a reaction–diffusion partial differential equation (PDE) for the tumor concentration. We use a PDE-constrained optimization formulation for the inverse problem. The unknown parameters are the reaction coefficient (proliferation), the diffusion coefficient (infiltration), and the initial condition field for the tumor PDE. Segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans drive the inverse problem where segmented tumor regions serve as partial observations of the tumor concentration. Like most cases in clinical practice, we use data from a single time snapshot. Moreover, the precise time relative to the initiation of the tumor is unknown, which poses an additional difficulty for inversion. We perform a frozen-coefficient spectral analysis and show that the inverse problem is severely ill-posed. We introduce a biophysically motivated regularization on the structure and magnitude of the tumor initial condition. In particular, we assume that the tumor starts at a few locations (enforced with a sparsity constraint on the initial condition of the tumor) and that the initial condition magnitude in the maximum norm is equal to one. We solve the resulting optimization problem using an inexact quasi-Newton method combined with a compressive sampling algorithm for the sparsity constraint. Our implementation uses PETSc and AccFFT libraries. We conduct numerical experiments on synthetic and clinical images to highlight the improved performance of our solver over a previously existing solver that uses standard two-norm regularization for the calibration parameters. The existing solver is unable to localize the initial condition. Our new solver can localize the initial condition and recover infiltration and proliferation. In clinical datasets (for which the ground truth is unknown), our solver results in qualitatively different solutions compared to the two-norm regularized solver.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of the Protonation State Dependence of Glutamic Acid Transport through a Cyclic Peptide Nanotube

The effect of the protonation state of glutamic acid on its translocation through cyclic peptide nanotubes (CPNs) was assessed by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Anionic (GLU–), neutral zwitterionic (GLU0), and cationic (GLU+) forms of glutamic acid were selected as three different protonation states for an analysis of energetics and diffusivity for acid transport across a cyclic decapeptide nanotube. Based on the solubility-diffusion model, permeability coefficients for the three protonation states of the acid were calculated and compared with experimental results for CPN-mediated glutamate transport through CPNs. Potential of mean force (PMF) calculations reveal that, due to the cation-selective nature of the lumen of CPNs, GLU–, so-called glutamate, shows significantly high free energy barriers, while GLU+ displays deep energy wells and GLU0 has mild free energy barriers and wells inside the CPN. The considerable energy barriers for GLU– inside CPNs are mainly attributed to unfavorable interactions with DMPC bilayers and CPNs and are reduced by favorable interactions with channel water molecules through attractive electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding. Unlike the distinct PMF curves, position-dependent diffusion coefficient profiles exhibit comparable frictional behaviors regardless of the charge status of three protonation states due to similar confined environments imposed by the lumen of the CPN. The calculated permeability coefficients for the three protonation states clearly demonstrate that glutamic acid has a strong protonation state dependence for its transport through CPNs, as determined by the energetics rather than the diffusivity of the protonation state. In addition, the permeability coefficients also imply that GLU– is unlikely to pass through a CPN due to the high energy barriers inside the CPN, which is in disagreement with experimental measurements, where a considerable amount of glutamate permeating through the CPN was detected. To resolve the discrepancy between this work and the experimental observations, several possibilities are proposed, including a large concentration gradient of glutamate between the inside and outside of lipid vesicles and bilayers in the experiments, the glutamate activity difference between our MD simulations and experiments, an overestimation of energy barriers due to the artifacts imposed in MD simulations, and/or finally a transformation of the protonation state from GLU– to GLU0 to reduce the energy barriers. Altogether, our study demonstrates that the protonation state of glutamic acid has a strong effect on the transport of the acid and suggests a possible protonation state change for glutamate permeating through CPNs.

Proton diffusion and hydrogen/deuterium exchange in amorphous solid water at temperatures from 114 to 134 K

The reaction coefficient for hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange and the diffusion of hydrated excess protons within amorphous solid water (ASW) are characterized as a function of temperature. For these experiments, water films are deposited on a Pt(111) substrate at 108 K, and reactions with pre-adsorbed hydrogen atoms produce hydrated protons. Upon heating, protons diffuse within the water, and H/D exchange occurs when they encounter D2O probe molecules deposited in the films. The time-dependent concentration of D2O is monitored with infrared spectroscopy, and it indicates the protons diffusion from the substrate and establish an equilibrium distribution prior to significant H/D exchange for temperatures 114 K ≤T≤ 134 K. By controlling the distance between the D2O molecules and the substrate, we probe the distribution of protons within the film. It decays as x−2 for the examined range of x (12–52 nm) due to the electric field that develops between the diffusing protons and their image charges in the metal substrate. This agrees with the theoretical distance scaling for the equilibrated proton concentration in a dielectric near a metal boundary. From the proton concentration and the measured D2O decay rate, a lower bound for the proton diffusion coefficient ranging from 10−20 m2/s at 114 K to 10−18 m2/s at 134 K is estimated. The diffusion coefficient has an activation energy of 0.40 eV, which is comparable to energies reported for molecular translations and rotations of H2O, suggesting they may play a critical role in the proton diffusion mechanism within ASW.

Statistical distributions for transient transport

Here, this paper introduces the use of statistical distributions based on transport differential equations for clear distinction of transport modes within transient kinetic experiments. More specifically, novel techniques are developed for the transient data obtained through the Temporal Analysis of Products (TAP) reactor and are applicable to experiments where pulse response into a gas flow is used. The methodology allows distinguishing between two domains of diffusion transport in heterogeneous catalytic systems, i.e., Knudsen and non-Knudsen diffusion, using statistical fingerprints, and finding the transition domain. Two distribution parameters were obtained that directly result in coefficients that correspond to the concentration and the rate of transport. Using a linear relationship between the rate and concentration coefficients, Knudsen diffusion is revealed when the rate of transport is constant and non-Knudsen diffusion is confirmed when the rate of transport coefficient is a function of the concentration coefficient. As a result, accurate transport information can be extracted from experimental data even in the presence of comprising instrument drift or noise particularly when analyzing higher pressure pulse responses with complex transport. This enables more direct investigation of experiments influenced by gas-phase reactions.

Diffusion–convection model of runaway electrons due to large magnetohydrodynamic perturbations in post-thermal quench plasmas

Systematic test particle tracing simulations for runaway electrons (REs) are performed for six post-thermal quench equilibria from DIII-D and ITER, where large scale, kink-like n = 1 (n is the toroidal mode number) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities are found. The modeled particle guiding center orbits allow extraction of the effective diffusion–convection coefficients of REs in the presence of large three-dimensional (3D) perturbations up to 10% of the equilibrium toroidal field. With a fixed spatial distribution of the field perturbation, the RE transport coefficients along the plasma radial coordinate track reasonably well with the surface-averaged perturbation level. A substantial variation in the value of the transport coefficients—by three orders of magnitude in most cases, however, occurs with varying launching location of REs along the plasma radius. Large 3D perturbations almost always lead to comparable diffusion and convection processes, meaning that diffusion alone is insufficient to describe the particle motion. At lower (but still high) level of perturbation, the RE convection is found to be dominant over diffusion. A similar observation is made when the perturbation is too strong. In the presence of large perturbation, the dependence of the RE transport on the particle energy is sensitive to the spatial distribution of the perturbation. Based on numerically obtained RE transport coefficients, an analytic fitting model is proposed to quantify the particle diffusion and convection processes due to large MHD events in post-thermal quench plasmas. The model is shown to reasonably well reproduce the direct test particle tracing results for the RE loss fraction and can, thus, be useful for incorporating into other kinetic RE codes in order to simulate the RE beam evolution in the presence of large 3D perturbations.

A diffusion–deformation model with damage for polymer undergoing rapid decompression failure

Green hydrogen is emerging as one of the most promising alternatives to replace fossil fuels. While hydrogen gas has a good energy density by weight, its poor energy density by volume requires it to be stored under high pressure for commercial use. The hydrogen infrastructure developed to handle this high pressure hydrogen contains multiple components made of polymers as sealing agents. Although polymers do not react chemically with hydrogen gas, they undergo a mechanical failure when high pressure hydrogen gas is suddenly depressurized. This phenomenon known as 'rapid decompression failure' occurs due to the diffusion of hydrogen through polymer and getting trapped inside pre-existing cavities or voids. Here, in this paper, a continuum mechanics-based coupled diffusion-deformation-damage model was developed to predict the hydrogen distribution, stress distribution, and damage propagation inside the polymer while it undergoes rapid decompression failure. The polymer was modeled as a hyperelastic material because it represents the nonlinear material response observed in uniaxial tensile tests perfectly. The effects of hydrogen diffusivity, pre-existing cavity size, cavity location, applied hydrogen pressure, and depressurization rate on damage initiation were studied. It was found that the coefficient of diffusion plays an important role in damage initiation and damage was mostly concentrated in the inside areas rather than near the surface. Experiments were conducted with EPDM polymer which agreed well with the predicted trends using the given model. The effect of adding carbon black and silica filler particles and plasticizer to the pure EPDM polymer was also studied. It was found that damage during RDF decreases with the addition of fillers, but increases with the addition of the plasticizer. Finally, the damage evolution in the presence of two cavities was also studied, and was found that the interaction of stress fields around the cavities alters the damage occurring during RDF.

Influence of the Soret effect on binary-species boundary layers at high pressure

Direct numerical simulations of binary-species temporal boundary layers at high pressure are performed. The main objective is to investigate the influence of the Soret effect on flow physics of binary-species boundary layers where the fluid has a uniform composition. The working fluid is a mixture of 25 % methane and 75 % nitrogen in mass fraction. Although the fluid composition is uniform at the initial condition, the mass fraction of methane increases near the wall when the wall temperature is hotter than the free stream temperature, whereas it decreases when the wall temperature is colder. The non-uniform mass fraction indicates that the uphill diffusion occurs near the wall. Investigation of fluctuations of the mass fraction reveals that the mass fraction fluctuates in the whole boundary layer, indicating that the uphill diffusion occurs even far from the wall. Examination of the species-mass diffusion balance for mean flow fields clarified that the Soret effect flux becomes large near the wall, and the large flux causes the non-uniform profile of the mass fraction near the wall.

Space-Time Finite Element Tensor Network Approach for the Time-Dependent Convection–Diffusion–Reaction Equation with Variable Coefficients

In this paper, we present a new space-time Galerkin-like method, where we treat the discretization of spatial and temporal domains simultaneously. This method utilizes a mixed formulation of the tensor-train (TT) and quantized tensor-train (QTT) (please see Section Tensor-Train Decomposition), designed for the finite element discretization (Q1-FEM) of the time-dependent convection–diffusion–reaction (CDR) equation. We reformulate the assembly process of the finite element discretized CDR to enhance its compatibility with tensor operations and introduce a low-rank tensor structure for the finite element operators. Recognizing the banded structure inherent in the finite element framework’s discrete operators, we further exploit the QTT format of the CDR to achieve greater speed and compression. Additionally, we present a comprehensive approach for integrating variable coefficients of CDR into the global discrete operators within the TT/QTT framework. The effectiveness of the proposed method, in terms of memory efficiency and computational complexity, is demonstrated through a series of numerical experiments, including a semi-linear example.

Challenges and approaches to interpretive modeling of boundary plasma and neutral transport in a closed, pumped divertor

An experimental discharge from the DIII-D tokamak is modeled using the SOLPS-ITER code suite and compared against measurements in the pumped and relatively closed upper divertor. Uncertainties of boundary plasma simulations are identified by attempting to match code inputs to experimental conditions, including iteratively solving transport coefficients to match upstream experimental profiles using varying quantities of core particle flux, different pumping models, and various assumptions of ion thermal transport. Simulated boundary conditions for particle injection at the core interface are shown to be relevant to the plasma solution at the divertor targets, even if upstream transport is modified so that plasma profiles are comparatively similar, although seperatrix density is not held constant. When upstream plasma profiles are matched to experimental measurements by varying diffusive transport coefficients, using either poloidally symmetric or ballooning structure, the model finds a majority of injected energy being transported radially off the computational domain, in conflict with experimental radiated power measurements and heat flux measurements at the divertor target. Imposing a maximum thermal diffusivity or radially shifting the experimental separatrix location of the fitted profiles to increase power conducted to the targets by increasing the upstream electron temperature does not significantly modify this result. Including a thermalizing plenum volume in the simulation domain is shown to maintain the experimental volumetric pumping rate without knowing the neutral energy distribution incident on the pump duct a priori. By modifying transport parameters to match different assumptions for ion temperature, downstream neutral pressure changes by more than a factor of two, suggesting that attention to ion thermal transport may be a critical parameter for simulations to accurately resolve recycling and neutral transport, particularly in a closed divertor geometry. In addition to quantifying various modeling uncertainties, this work motivates both further experimental study and modeling improvements to improve predictive capabilities.

Applying a Phase-Separation Parameterization in Modeling Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation from Acid-Driven Reactive Uptake of Isoprene Epoxydiols under Humid Conditions

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from acid-driven reactive uptake of isoprene epoxydiols (IEPOX) contributes up to 40% of organic aerosol (OA) mass in fine particulate matter. Our previous work showed substantial conversions of particulate inorganic sulfates to surface-active organosulfates (OSs) by IEPOX decreases aerosol acidity and creates a viscous organic-rich shell that poses as a diffusion barrier, inhibiting additional reactive uptake of IEPOX. In this study, to account for this “self-limiting” effect, a phase-separation box model was developed to evaluate parameterizations of IEPOX reactive uptake against time-resolved chamber measurements of IEPOX-SOA tracers, including 2-methyltetrols (2-MT) and methyltetrol sulfates (MTS), at ~ 50% relative humidity. The phase-separation model was most sensitive to mass accommodation coefficient, IEPOX diffusivity in the organic shell, and ratio of the third-order reaction rate constants forming 2-MT and MTS (k MT /k MTS ). In particular, k MT /k MTS had to be lower than 0.1 to bring model predictions of 2-MT and MTS in closer agreement with chamber measurements, while prior studies reported values larger than 0.71. The model-derived rate constants favor more particulate MTS formation due to 2-MT likely off-gassing at ambient-relevant OA loadings. Incorporating this parametrization into chemical transport models is expected to predict lower IEPOX-SOA mass and volatility due to the predominance of OSs.

Diffusion, atomic transport, and ordering in Al-Zr alloys: FCC and liquid phases

Additive manufacturing of materials with controlled microstructure demands knowledge of atomic scale properties near the solid-liquid transition state. Many of these properties are not affordable by experimental techniques and computer modeling is the possible solution to the problem. In this paper, we present the results of an extended atomistic study of intrinsic atomic transport due to vacancy diffusion in FCC and L12 solid phases and diffusion in the liquid phase of Al-Zr alloys. A deceleration of the overall self-diffusion was observed when Zr was added to Al. The effect was stronger in the solid and weaker in the liquid. Additionally, the effect was strongly temperature dependent in the solid phases, but not in the liquid. Atomic transport was chemically biased: transport of Zr atoms was significantly slower than that of Al atoms, and this bias effect was stronger in the solid phases. The overall diffusion and chemical ordering processes in the liquid state were five to six orders in magnitude faster than in the solid. Chemical short-range order parameters in the liquid saturated at values close to those in the ordered L12 structure of Al3Zr. Chemical and structural ordering in the solid phases was negligible over the modeled microsecond time scale. Here, the results are discussed in view of optimizing additive manufacturing parameters for the controlled formation of metastable L1 2 precipitates.

Mechanisms and stability of Li dynamics in amorphous Li-Ti-P-S-based mixed ionic–electronic conductors: A machine learning molecular dynamics study

Mixed ionic–electronic conductors (MIECs) exhibit both high ionic and electronic conductivity to improve the battery performance. In this work, we investigate the mechanism and stability of transport channels in our recently developed MIEC material, amorphous Ti-doped lithium phosphorus sulfide (LPS), using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with a 99% accurate machine-learning force field (MLFF) trained on ab initio MD data. The achieved MLFF helps efficient large-scale MD simulations on LPS with three Ti concentrations (10%, 20%, and 30%) and six temperatures (25°C to 225°C) to calculate ionic conductivity, activation energy, Li-ion transport mechanism, and configurational entropy. Results show that ionic conductivities and activation energies are consistent with our recent experimental values. Moreover, Li-ion transport occurs via free-volume diffusion facilitated by the formation of disordered Li-S polyhedra. The enhanced stability of transport channels at 10% and 20% Ti doping, compared to 0% and 30%, is observed by analyzing the vibrational and configurational entropy of these disordered Li-S polyhedra. Overall, this study highlights the utility of MLFF-based large-scale MD simulations in explaining the transport mechanism and the stability of Li-ion in Ti-doped LPS electrolyte with significant computational efficiency.

Molecular interactions that drive morphological and mechanical stabilities in organic solar cells

Morphological and mechanical stabilities of organic solar cells (OSCs) are of paramount importance to ensure long-lived devices. However, the fundamental drivers of these stability metrics and their competing relationship have yet to be well defined. Here, in this work, several high-performance polymers and small molecule acceptors (SMAs) are considered to assist in the development of a comprehensive view of the molecular drivers of, and interrelationships between, morphological and mechanical stabilities. We find that the SMAs drive much of the embrittlement and diffusion characteristics in the blend films. However, the heterointeraction of the SMA and polymer, probed through dynamic mechanical analysis, is a key contributing factor to the film toughness. The heterointeraction energy is ideally maximally negative (i.e., repulsive), deviating from the geometric mean of the homointeraction energy. These findings assist in introducing a framework to understand the active layer stability and highlight material properties that lead to morphologically stable and physically robust OSCs.
