Plutonium and Cerium Perrhenate/Pertechnetate Coordination Polymers and Frameworks

Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) contains transuranic and lanthanide species, which are sometimes recovered and repurposed. One particularly problematic fission product, 99 TcO 4 – , hampers this recovery via coextraction with high valence metals, perhaps by complexation during aqueous reprocessing of SNF. There is limited molecular-level knowledge concerning the coordination chemistry between TcO 4 – or its well-known surrogate ReO 4 – and transuranic/lanthanide species. In the current study, we investigated the coordination of ReO 4 – /TcO 4 – with plutonium and cerium cations by structural and chemical characterization of a series of isolated extended solids. In this study, Ce represents both trivalent lanthanides and is considered a surrogate for Pu, respectively, in its common trivalent and tetravalent oxidation states. The structural elucidation of the seven isolated crystalline solids revealed that ReO 4 – /TcO 4 – directly connects to Pu IV , Pu VI O 2 2 + , Ce III , and Ce IV in the terminal and bridging coordination modes, leading to 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional frameworks. For example, ReO 4 – coordination to Pu(IV) formed a 1D chain or 2D framework, isostructural with previously isolated Th(IV) compounds. However, Pu VI O 2 2 + alternating with ReO 4 – led to a unique 1D chain, different from the prior-reported U(VI)/Np(VI)-ReO 4 – /TcO 4 – structures. Coordination of ReO 4 – /TcO 4 – with Ce(III) promotes the assembly of 3D frameworks. Finally, attempted synthesis of a Ce(IV)-ReO 4 – compound resulted in a 2D framework with a mixed-valence Ce III/IV . The highly acidic reaction conditions supported the reduction of both Ce IV and Tc VII , challenging isolation of compounds featuring these species. Only one TcO 4 -containing structure was obtained in this study (Ce III –TcO 4 3D framework), vs the six total Ce/Pu-ReO 4 compounds. Furthermore, our three Pu-ReO 4 crystal structures are the first reported and translated to atomic-level information about Pu-TcO 4 coordination in nuclear fuel reprocessing scenarios, in addition to broadening our knowledge of bonding trends in the early, high-valence actinides.

Skyrme–Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov mass models on a 3D mesh: IIb. Fission properties of BSkG2

Large-scale models of nuclear structure are currently the only way to provide consistent datasets for the many properties of thousands of exotic nuclei that are required by nucleosynthesis simulations. In [W. Ryssens et al., Eur. Phys. J. A 58, 246 (2022)], we recently presented the new BSkG2 model based on an energy density functional of the Skyrme type. Relying on a flexible three-dimensional coordinate representation of the nucleus, the model takes into account both triaxial deformation and time-reversal symmetry breaking. BSkG2 achieves a state-of-the-art global description of nuclear ground state (g.s.) properties and reproduces in particular the known masses with a root-mean-square (rms) deviation of 678 keV. Moving beyond g.s. properties, the model also reproduces all empirical values for the primary and secondary barriers as well as isomer excitation energies of actinide nuclei with rms deviations below 500 keV, i.e. with unprecedented accuracy. Here we discuss in detail the extension of our framework to the calculation of the fission barriers of 45 actinide nuclei, including odd-mass and odd-odd systems. We focus in particular on the impact of symmetry breaking which is key to the accuracy of the model: we allow systematically for axial, reflection and time-reversal symmetry breaking. The effect of the latter on the fission properties of odd-mass and odd-odd nuclei is small, but we find that allowing for shapes with triaxial or octupole deformation, as well as shapes with both, is crucial to achieving this accuracy. Here, the numerical accuracy of our coordinate space approach, the variety of nuclear configurations explored and the simultaneous successful description of fission properties and known masses makes BSkG2 the tool of choice for the large-scale study of nuclear structure.

Spectroscopic Insight on Neodymium Solvation in Lithium Borohydride-Supported Electrolyte

Borohydride-based electrolytes have recently emerged as promising media for the electrodeposition of electropositive metals, including rare earth (RE) elements. While the presence of supporting alkali metal cations and RE counteranions provides essential electrochemical conductivity for achieving fast metal electrodeposition, interactions between the host ligand and solvated neodymium (Nd) complexes remain unclear. This study provides insights into the coordination structure of a concentrated and directly solvated Nd salt in a lithium borohydride-supported electrolyte. Our spectroscopic results indicate that the RE coordination environment is significantly influenced by the solvation mechanism, which can vary between metathesis and complexation pathways, primarily dictated by stoichiometric factors. Under dilute conditions, nearly complete metathesis of anions leads to a high coordination number for the host ligand (borohydride), consistent with the previously reported solvated Nd speciation in chlorine-free electrolytes. In contrast, concentrated dissolution of the Nd salt in the supported electrolyte is dominated by a complexation pathway featuring a Li-ion-paired complex with a low coordination number of the host ligand. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that the observed blue shift in the borohydride vibration was the result of an increase in electron density drawn into the terminal B–H interbond region from the hydride as the coordination changed from Li to Nd. In conjunction with DFT results, vibrational analyses allowed correlation of the experimental shifts associated with changes in Nd ligation and coordination spheres, further consolidating the prevalence of highly chloride-coordinated species under concentrated conditions. In conclusion, the outcomes of this work illuminate the distinctive and heterogeneous coordination structures that the electroactive RE species can adopt at high concentrations in lithium borohydride-supported electrolytes, as a key step to comprehend the reported metal electrodeposition performance in these media.

A Generation-Storage Coordination Dispatch Strategy for Power System Based on Causal Reinforcement Learning

In the backdrop of global energy transformation, power systems integrating high proportions of renewable energy sources are facing unprecedented challenges in operational stability and dispatch efficiency. To address these challenges, this study introduces a generation-storage coordination real-time dispatch strategy based on Causal Power System Dynamic Reinforcement Learning (CPSDRL). Diverging from traditional reinforcement learning approaches, CPSDRL innovatively incorporates causal inference within the state prediction model - the crux of model-based reinforcement learning - thereby establishing the Power Causal Dynamic Model (PCDM). Assisted by the prior knowledge of power systems, the model significantly enhances prediction accuracy and reliability through a two-stage training process. Utilizing PCDM, this study further applies a direct policy search algorithm to optimize the real-time dispatch strategy. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method improves the stability of generation-storage coordination real-time dispatch and exhibits competitive advantages in sample efficiency and computational speed, compared to traditional model-based and model-free reinforcement learning algorithms. This method is expected to enhance the practicality and adaptability of causal reinforcement learning techniques in power system scheduling and control.

Crystalline Order Yet Glass-Like Heat Transport Driven by Hidden Local Distortions as the Structural Origin of Ultralow Thermal Conductivity in AgErTe 2

Given their rich chemical diversity and the interplay among the p-, d-, and f-orbitals of chalcogens, transition metals, and lanthanides, respectively, rare-earth transition-metal chalcogenides exhibit a wide variety of structural, magnetic, and transport phenomena. As a result, they form a particularly appealing platform for investigating structure–property relationships, emergent electronic and magnetic behaviors, and thermal transport. Here we investigate AgErTe 2 as a model system to understand phonon-glass behavior in ordered crystalline solids, which establishes the design principles for thermal barrier coatings and next-generation thermoelectrics. The local bonding asymmetry and lattice softness suppress the inherently low lattice thermal conductivity, resembling the characteristics of amorphous materials. This suppression is significantly influenced by local off-centering of Ag atoms, which breaks lattice periodicity while maintaining global crystallinity. The presence of antibonding states just below the Fermi level, arising from Ag 4d and Te 5p orbital interactions, leads to lattice softening and destabilizes ideal tetrahedral coordination, resulting in a pseudo Jahn–Teller distortion. Furthermore, the coexistence of weaker, more polarizable Ag–Te bonds and stronger Er–Te bonds creates a complex vibrational landscape enriched with low-frequency modes and enhanced phonon scattering. A pronounced disparity in interatomic force constants gives rise to highly localized, low-energy optical phonons linked to Ag rattling. These flat vibrational modes exhibit strong coupling with transverse acoustic phonons, resulting in ultrashort phonon lifetimes and mean free paths approaching interatomic distances. These features collectively enhance phonon scattering across a broad range of length and energy scales. This work offers a framework for engineering suppressed thermal conductivity in crystalline systems without the introduction of alloying elements.

Rational design of heterogeneous single-site catalysts via surface organometallic chemistry

Single-site heterogeneous catalysts offer an attractive route to unite the molecular precision of homogeneous catalysis with the durability and practical advantages of solids. Surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) provides a particularly powerful strategy for this purpose by grafting molecular precursors onto tailored surfaces and converting support functionalities into ligand environments for isolated metal centers. As a result, SOMC brings the language and logic of coordination chemistry to heterogeneous catalysis, where the support becomes an integral part of the active site coordination sphere. This Review surveys recent progress in the rational design of SOMC-derived single-site catalysts, with emphasis on synthetic routes, post synthetic transformations, and the deliberate tuning of catalytic behavior through metal-support interactions. Discussions are made on how support identity, hydroxyl topology, acidity, and redox activity shape the geometry, electronic structure, and oxidation state of supported metal sites, as well as how these factors determine activity, selectivity, and stability. We also examine a central limitation of these systems: despite their molecularly informed design, supported single sites often exist as structurally distributed ensembles rather than uniform species, particularly on amorphous supports. This site heterogeneity, along with catalyst dynamics under operating conditions, remains a major barrier to definitive structure-activity relationships. Therefore, emerging approaches that combine advanced characterization, first-principles modeling, ensemble kinetics, and machine learning to resolve active-site structure and guide catalyst development are highlighted. Together, these advances position SOMC as a versatile coordination chemistry framework for the predictive design of heterogeneous catalysts with well-defined molecularly tailored active sites.

On the origin of ground-state vacuum-field catalysis: Equilibrium consideration

Recent experiments suggest that vibrational strong coupling (VSC) may significantly modify ground-state chemical reactions and their rates even without external pumping. The intrinsic mechanism of this “vacuum-field catalysis” remains largely unclear. Generally, modifications of thermal reactions in the ground electronic states can be caused by equilibrium or non-equilibrium effects. The former are associated with modifications of the reactant equilibrium distribution as expressed by the transition state theory of chemical reaction rates, while the latter stem from the dynamics of reaching and leaving transition state configurations. In this work, we examine how VSC can affect chemical reactions rates in a cavity environment according to transition state theory. Our approach is to examine the effect of coupling to cavity mode(s) on the potential of mean force (PMF) associated with the reaction coordinate. Within the context of classical nuclei and classical photons and also assuming no charge overlap between molecules, we find that while the PMF can be affected by the cavity environment, this effect is negligible for the usual micron-length cavities used to examine VSC situations.

Topics and Considerations for Developing State Geothermal Regulations

The intent of this document is to provide guidance to states for developing geothermal regulations that would be inclusive of all geothermal technologies (e.g., conventional and non-conventional power production and direct-use applications) with applicability in all states. As part of this project, the NREL project team reviewed and catalogued existing state and federal geothermal regulations, compiled best practices from geothermal and other extractive industries, and established a Geothermal Regulatory Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) to advise and review the geothermal regulatory guidance. The SWG met approximately monthly over the course of one year to review and discuss specific topics as relevant to this geothermal regulatory guidance. This report is broken into five main sections, which were identified in coordination with the SWG as the main topics for inclusion. Within these sections, a list of considerations within each category were identified and, in some cases, relevant examples from existing state and federal geothermal regulations are included to further illustrate the proposed considerations. This report includes the following topics: geothermal resource definition; leasing process; exploration approval process; drilling/wellfield development approval process; and underground injection control process.

ACDC (Automated Campbell Diagram Code) [SWR-26-042]

This application provides a web-based graphical user interface to generating Campbell Diagrams and visualizing mode shapes for OpenFAST turbine models. Determining the aeroelastic stability and dynamic characteristics of wind turbines is a critical step in turbine design and analysis. Historically, extracting natural frequencies and mode shapes from OpenFAST—the industry-standard whole-turbine simulation code—has been a fragmented and tedious process. It required manual model configuration, command-line linearization execution, and complex post-processing via proprietary scripts to handle rotating-frame dynamics. To address these workflow bottlenecks, we present the Automated Campbell Diagram Code (ACDC), an open-source graphical software tool developed by the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) under the DOE-funded Distributed Wind Aeroelastic Modeling (dWAM) project. ACDC streamlines the end-to-end linearization and stability analysis workflow into a single, intuitive cross-platform application. The software guides users through OpenFAST model configuration, definition of operating points, and the automated execution of steady-state trim and linearization simulations. Under the hood, ACDC automates the complex mathematical post-processing steps required for rotating systems, including Multi-Blade Coordinate (MBC) transformations, eigenanalysis, and advanced modal tracking utilizing the Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC) and spectral clustering. Finally, ACDC processes these results to automatically generate Campbell diagrams and features a robust 3D visualization engine to animate full-system mode shapes. By eliminating the reliance on external post-processing environments and manual data manipulation, ACDC significantly accelerates dynamic analysis and lowers the barrier to entry for wind energy researchers and engineers.

A Computational Assessment of Actinide Dioxide Cations AnO 2 2+ for An = U to Lr: The Limited Stability Range of the Hexavalent Actinyl Moiety, [O=An=O] 2+

The isolated gas-phase actinide dioxide dications, AnO 2 2+ , were evaluated by DFT and coupled cluster CCSD(T) calculations for 12 actinides, An = U–Lr. CASSCF calculations were used to define the orbitals for the CCSD(T) calculations. The characteristic linear [O$=$An$=$O] 2+ hexavalent actinyl(VI) was found to be the lowest energy structure for An = U, Np, and Pu, which also form stable actinyl(VI) species in solution and possibly for Am when spin–orbit effects are included. For Am, there is a divalent [An II (O 2 )] 2+ structure where the dioxygen is an end-on physisorbed η 1 - 3 O 2 2 kcal/mol above the actinyl when spin–orbit effects are included which lower the energy of the actinyl structure. For An = Cm, Bk, and Lr, the lowest energy structure is trivalent [An III (O 2 – )] 2+ where the dioxygen is a side-on superoxide, η 2 -O 2 – . For Cm, the actinyl is close in energy to the ground state when spin–orbit effects are included. For An = Cf, Es, Fm, Md, and No, the lowest energy structure is divalent [An II (O 2 )] 2+ where the dioxygen is an end-on physisorbed η 1 - 3 O 2 . The relative energies suggest that curyl(VI) and berkelyl(VI), like well-known americyl(VI), might be stabilized by coordinating ligands in condensed phases. The results further indicate that for californyl and beyond, the actinyl(VI) moieties will probably be elusive even using strong donor ligands. The prevalence of low oxidation states (OSs) An(II) and An(III) for transplutonium actinides reflects stabilization of the 5f orbitals and validates established trends, including the remarkably high stability of divalent No. Finally, bond distances and other parameters suggest maximum bond covalency around plutonyl(VI), with a particularly substantial decrease in bond strength between americyl(VI) and curyl(VI).

Manipulating the Second Coordination Shell of Single-Atom Fe for Enhanced Fenton Reaction

While current methods use oxidizable metals as electron donors to effectively reduce Fe 3+ , they suffer from the irreversible oxidation of these metals, ultimately compromising the catalyst’s longevity. To address this challenge, we engineered the second coordination shell of a single-atom Fe center by doping boron (B) onto a graphene-based support (Fe 1 /B-graphene) and utilized H 2 O 2 as the electron source for efficient Fe 2+ regeneration. Experimental results, supported by theoretical calculations, revealed that the Fe–O–B motif functions like a micro galvanic cell, with intermediary O atoms facilitating electron transfer between electrodes. Specifically, electrons consumed during H 2 O 2 activation at Fe 1 sites (positive electrode) are replenished by electrons extracted from H 2 O 2 at B atoms (negative electrode), where the activation energy for H 2 O 2 oxidation is significantly lower than that at Fe 1 sites. This study offers inspirational insights into the design of Fenton catalysts through precise regulation of the second coordination shell, demonstrating the potential of tailoring the outer coordination environment of single-atom catalysts to enhance catalytic performance across various reactions.

Synthesis and characterization of the dinuclear cobalt(III) complex: [(C 2 F 5 ) 3 Co(μ-F)] 2 2–

Here, reaction of the versatile tris(perfluoroethyl) cobalt(III) precursor [fac-(MeCN) 3 Co(C 2 F 5 ) 3 ] with [NMe 4 ]F and [PPh 4 ]Cl in THF formed the unexpected cobalt(III) bridging fluoride dimer ([(C 2 F 5 ) 3 Co(μ-F)] 2 2– . The new fluoro-organometallic cobalt(III) complex was characterized by NMR and UV-vis spectroscopies, X-ray crystallography, cyclic voltammetry, and by computational methods. In the strongly coordinating solvent MeCN, ([(C 2 F 5 ) 3 Co(μ-F)] 2 2– exhibits dynamic processes on the NMR timescale which are consistent with solvent coordination. However, in the weakly coordinating solvent CH 2 Cl 2 , a more static structure is observed suggesting that the dimer retains its structure in solution state. An electrochemical analysis of ([(C 2 F 5 ) 3 Co(μ-F)] 2 2– was performed, and the data are compared to previously reported cobalt(III) perfluoroethyl complexes.

Rewiring the unfolded protein response for plant growth recovery after stress

The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a highly coordinated signaling network that alleviates endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, a condition induced by diverse environmental challenges in plants. Over the past two decades, substantial progress has been made in elucidating the genetic and molecular mechanisms of ER stress sensing and signal transduction in plants, largely through studies in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana . These advances have established the UPR as a central regulator of proteostasis and underscored its broader relevance to plant growth and development and crop productivity under stress conditions. Despite this progress, critical knowledge gaps remain, particularly concerning the downstream biological processes required for growth recovery once ER stress has subsided and how these processes are coordinated by UPR regulators. Recent systems-level and integrative studies have begun to reveal critical roles of UPR signaling in pathways governing growth re-establishment and homeostasis of nutrient allocation and energy metabolism. In this review, we highlight recent findings on the functional roles of the plant UPR in recovery from ER stress, with a focus on mechanisms mediated by UPR regulators and downstream biological pathways that enable the transition from stress mitigation to growth restoration. Although this research area is still emerging, accumulating evidence supports a model in which the UPR functions as a dynamic regulatory network that actively coordinates post-stress physiological recovery to support plant fitness.

Redox Mechanisms and Migration Tendencies in Earth-Abundant 0.7Li 2 MnO 3 ·0.3LiFeO 2 Cathodes: Coupling Spin-Resolved X-ray Absorption Near Edge and X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopies

We report the use of iron 1s3p resonant X-ray emission processes to conduct spin-selective, high-energy resolution fluorescence detected X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (HERFD-XANES) on an iron-containing, lithium- and manganese-rich, fully earth-abundant cathode material, Li 1.3 Mn 0.5 Fe 0.2 O 2 (0.7Li 2 MnO 3 ·0.3LiFeO 2 ). Coupling this technique with conventional Mn K-edge XANES and detailed extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis from both the Mn and Fe vantage points, we gain fundamental insights into the redox processes and migration tendencies of transition metals in this cathode material at the bulk level. We show that during the first charge, Fe 3+ undergoes oxidation to form Fe 4+ prior to the activation plateau. Toward the end of activation, a significant fraction of the iron is present as tetrahedral Fe 3+ . This observation reveals that iron migration from octahedral to tetrahedral sites and iron reduction are initiated during activation. Upon first discharge from the activated state, a continuous and overlapping reduction of both Fe and Mn is observed, with Fe largely restored back as an octahedrally coordinated Fe 3+ . The manganese local environment gradually changes to a distorted cooperative Jahn–Teller Mn 3+ structure during discharge, with the clear presence of two Mn–O as well as two Mn–Mn correlation distances at 2.0 V. The significant reduction of manganese in the very first discharge is distinctly different from that seen in typical nickel-based lithium-manganese-rich materials but is similar to that observed for pure Li 2 MnO 3 . In conclusion, these findings shed light on key structure–property correlations in the cathode material and point to a causative relationship between the redox mechanisms as well as structural changes endured by the material and relatively poor performance during extended electrochemical cycling.
