Tailoring the Coordination Micro‐Environment in Nanotraps for Efficient Platinum/Palladium Separation

Abstract Recovering platinum group metals from secondary resources is crucial to meet the growing demand for high‐tech applications. Various techniques are explored, and adsorption using porous materials has emerged as a promising technology due to its efficient performance and environmental beingness. However, the challenge lies in effectively recovering and separating individual platinum group metals (PGMs) given their similar chemical properties. Herein, a breakthrough approach is presented by sophisticatedly tailoring the coordination micro‐environment in a series of aminopyridine‐based porous organic polymers, which enables the creation of platinum‐specific nanotraps for efficient separation of binary PGMs (platinum/palladium). The newly synthesized POP‐o2NH 2 ‐Py demonstrates record uptakes and selectivity toward platinum over palladium, with the amino groups adjacent to the pyridine moieties being vital in improving platinum binding performance. Further breakthrough experiments underline its remarkable ability to separate platinum and palladium. Spectroscopic analysis reveals that POP‐o2NH 2 ‐Py offers a more favorable coordination fashion to platinum ions compared to palladium ions owing to the greater interaction between N and Pt 4+ and stronger intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the amino groups and four coordinating chlorines at platinum. These findings underscore the importance of fine‐tuning the coordination micro‐environment of nanotraps through subtle modifications that can greatly enhance the selectivity toward the desired metal ions.

The Effect of Surface Terminations on the Initial Stages of TiO 2 Deposition on Functionalized Silicon

As atomic layer deposition (ALD) emerges as a method to fabricate architectures with atomic precision, emphasis is placed on understanding surface reactions and nucleation mechanisms. ALD of titanium dioxide with TiCl 4 and water has been used to investigate deposition processes in general, but the effect of surface termination on the initial TiO 2 nucleation lacks needed mechanistic insights. Here, this work examines the adsorption of TiCl 4 on Cl–, H–, and HO– terminated Si(100) and Si(111) surfaces to elucidate the general role of different surface structures and defect types in manipulating surface reactivity of growth and non-growth substrates. The surface sites and their role in the initial stages of deposition are examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Density functional theory (DFT) computations of the local functionalized silicon surfaces suggest oxygen-containing defects are primary drivers of selectivity loss on these surfaces.

Machine learning with persistent homology and chemical word embeddings improves prediction accuracy and interpretability in metal-organic frameworks

Machine learning has emerged as a powerful approach in materials discovery. Its major challenge is selecting features that create interpretable representations of materials, useful across multiple prediction tasks. We introduce an end-to-end machine learning model that automatically generates descriptors that capture a complex representation of a material’s structure and chemistry. This approach builds on computational topology techniques (namely, persistent homology) and word embeddings from natural language processing. It automatically encapsulates geometric and chemical information directly from the material system. We demonstrate our approach on multiple nanoporous metal–organic framework datasets by predicting methane and carbon dioxide adsorption across different conditions. Our results show considerable improvement in both accuracy and transferability across targets compared to models constructed from the commonly-used, manually-curated features, consistently achieving an average 25–30% decrease in root-mean-squared-deviation and an average increase of 40–50% in R 2 scores. A key advantage of our approach is interpretability: Our model identifies the pores that correlate best to adsorption at different pressures, which contributes to understanding atomic-level structure–property relationships for materials design.

Affinity of small-molecule solutes to hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and chemically patterned interfaces in aqueous solution

Significance Increasing global population, urbanization, and climate change pose tremendous constraints on water availability. While membrane processes offer attractive, energy-efficient options, transformative advances in membrane technology are needed to enable reuse of poor-quality waters from diverse sources. This work brings fundamental understanding of solute–surface interactions to membrane phenomena, including selectivity and fouling. Molecular simulations reveal limitations of traditional predictive measures of solute–surface partitioning, suggesting alternative thermodynamic signatures for solute binding that highlight the contextual nature of hydrophobicity. An inverse design algorithm provides a tool to pattern membrane nanoscale chemistry to optimize solute affinity and selectivity. This work demonstrates how simulations can inform practical materials design for sustainable water treatment and, more broadly, many technologies involving water-mediated solute–surface interactions.

Evaluation of Long-Term Storage Stability and Operational Efficiency of Rapid Cycle Amine Adsorbents

With the recent incorporation of Mars Extravehicular Activity (EVA) into the 2025 NASA roadmap, Rapid Cycle Amine (RCA) technology advancement within the Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit (xEMU) applies to both the upcoming Lunar Artemis missions and future human exploration of Mars. The incorporation of commercial spacesuit vendors to service NASA’s crewed-space programs since 2021 has increased the demand for regenerable, RCA-based carbon dioxide (CO2) and humidity control adsorbents. The regenerable RCA subunit is the most advanced, long-term solution for CO2 removal and humidity control, enabling both lunar and Martian EVAs. The adsorbent selected for use within the RCA unit must exhibit sufficient storage stability and operational efficiency for prolonged missions. As XploSafe worked to simultaneously develop both a recirculating sub-atmospheric test rig and adsorbents for the RCA system within the xEMU, several novel adsorbents were evaluated for long-term storage stability in support of future extended-duration missions. The chosen materials were periodically evaluated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, thermal desorption-coupled with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TD-GC/MS), and CO2 adsorption to assess long-term storage efficacy across various environmental storage conditions. NMR spectroscopy was utilized by extracting the active CO2 adsorbing chemical from the solid support with deuterated solvent and comparing the spectra over time for degradation and change. The solid adsorbents were also analyzed via TD-GC/MS to reveal any potential off-gassing chemicals over time. Additionally, XploSafe’s breakthrough test rig was utilized to dose the solid adsorbents with a 585 BTU/h metabolic rate flow-equivalent CO2 stream and monitored for 0–99% CO2 breakthrough. The performance metrics from the breakthrough analysis were compared over the storage study duration for CO2 removal and humidity control. Xplo-SA9T was evaluated for 24 months, whereas two additional adsorbent variants, MMPA-Sorbent and LPEI-Sorbent, were each evaluated for 12 months.

Indium Tin Oxide Resistor-Based Nitric Oxide Microsensors

A sensitive resistor-based NO microsensor, with a wide detection range and a low detection limit, has been developed. Semiconductor microfabrication techniques were used to create a sensor that has a simple, robust structure with a sensing area of 1.10 ~ 0.99 mm. A Pt interdigitated structure was used for the electrodes to maximize the sensor signal output. N-type semiconductor indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film was sputter-deposited as a sensing material on the electrode surface, and between the electrode fingers. Alumina substrate (250 m in thickness) was sequentially used for sensor fabrication. The resulting sensor was tested by applying a voltage across the two electrodes and measuring the resulting current. The sensor was tested at different concentrations of NO-containing gas at a range of temperatures. Preliminary results showed that the sensor had a relatively high sensitivity to NO at 450 C and 1 V. NO concentrations from ppm to ppb ranges were detected with the low limit of near 159 ppb. Lower NO concentrations are being tested. Two sensing mechanisms were involved in the NO gas detection at ppm level: adsorption and oxidation reactions, whereas at ppb level of NO, only one sensing mechanism of adsorption was involved. The NO microsensor has the advantages of high sensitivity, small size, simple batch fabrication, high sensor yield, low cost, and low power consumption due to its microsize. The resistor-based thin-film sensor is meant for detection of low concentrations of NO gas, mainly in the ppb or lower range, and is being developed concurrently with other sensor technology for multispecies detection. This development demonstrates that ITO is a sensitive sensing material for NO detection. It also provides crucial information for future selection of nanostructured and nanosized NO sensing materials, which are expected to be more sensitive and to consume less power.

Transition-metal doped titanate nanowire photocatalysts boosted by selective ion-exchange induced defect engineering

Defect engineering through elemental doping is an efficient way to boost the performance of semiconductor photocatalysts. For this work, transition-metal (TM) doped titanate nanowires (TNWs) were prepared via ion-exchange over the titanate precursors and demonstrated for the Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation. The ion-exchange of selective ions (V 5+ , Cr 3+ , Ni 2+ , and Zn 2+ ) with protons from pristine TNWs resulted in the hierarchical meso-porosity of nanowires with large pores of ~5–20 nm by TM doping and small pores of ~3.6–4.5 nm inherited from pristine TNWs, which facilitates the mass transfer while maintaining high surface area and active sites. Meanwhile, the TM intercalation partially reduces the Ti 4+ to Ti 3+ and narrows the optical bandgap, which, together with oxygen vacancies and superoxide radicals from pristine TNWs, enhance the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation performance of RhB. This work helps to elucidate the effects of transition-metal doping and provides a rational strategy towards high performance titanate-based photocatalysts for efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment.

Constructing efficient CuO x -CeO 2 catalyst for NO reduction by CO: New insights into the structure–activity relationship

CuO-CeO 2 based materials have been recognized as promising substitutes for precious metal catalysts in emission control field due to their superior redox property and low cost. In this work, by optimizing the deposition process of CeO 2 and CuO onto γ-Al 2 O 3 , highly dispersed CuO clusters on unique CeO 2 -Al 2 O 3 support with small CeO 2 particles (7Cu-Ce/CeAl) were successfully constructed for efficient NO reduction by CO, which exhibited much higher NO removal efficiency and N 2 selectivity than CuO catalysts supported on γ-Al 2 O 3 (7Cu/Al) and conventional CeO 2 -Al 2 O 3 support (7Cu/CeAl). Moreover, H 2 O showed limited inhibition effect on the catalytic performance of 7Cu-Ce/CeAl catalyst. With the help of Raman spectra, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, etc., it was clearly revealed that the abundant Cu + /Ce 3+ paired sites with surface synergetic oxygen vacancies (SSOV) on 7Cu-Ce/CeAl catalyst could effectively facilitate the adsorption and activation of CO and NO, thus significantly enhancing the NO removal efficiency.

Partitioning behavior and mechanisms of rare earth elements during precipitation in acid mine drainage

Rare earth elements (REEs) are frequently found concentrated in acid mine drainage (AMD). The recovery of REEs from AMD has been successfully achieved using selective chemical precipitation. However, a portion of the REEs is often lost to the precipitates of the dominant metal contaminant ions. To better understand the REE partitioning behavior and mechanisms during the precipitation process, a systematic study was performed on both natural and synthetic AMD solutions. Precipitation test results show that REE removal was noticeably elevated at pH 4.0 after adding H 2 O 2 to convert ferrous to ferric ions, causing nearly complete precipitation of iron. Solution equilibrium calculations suggested that the REE removal increase was realized through adsorption onto the surfaces of the ferric precipitates. The presence of aluminum species in the solutions reduced the adsorption of REEs on the ferric precipitates. Based on electro-kinetic test results, it was concluded that aluminum species neutralize the negative surface charge of the ferric precipitates and compete with REEs for the adsorption active sites. The presence of ferrous ions in the solutions reduced REE adsorption on the aluminum precipitates at lower pH values (e.g., 5.0) due to competitive adsorption. However, at higher pH values (e.g., 6.0), REE removal to the precipitate product increased due to the precipitation of ferrous ions. Additionally, to the electro-kinetic tests and solution equilibrium calculations, mineralogy characterization, specific surface area measurement, particle size analysis, and morphology analysis were also conducted to investigate and identify the partitioning mechanisms.

Radiation Stability of MOF Engineered Particles

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), in collaboration with Flibe Energy, demonstrated the fabrication of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) into engineered beads to manage off-gases released from advanced reactors, including molten salt reactors. Based on the commercial availability and easy to synthesis at scale, PNNL down-selected two MOF sorbents known as CuBTC and UiO-67. The sorbents were synthesized, characterized, and fabricated into mechanically robust engineered beads (composites) using wet granulation method using polymer as a binder. Further, MOF powders and and mechanically robust composites were exposed to gamma radiation using Co-60 source and characterized irradiated MOFs to demonstrate the structural stability. Among the two MOF sorbents identified, the CuBTC MOF was shown to be very promising for noble gas management at low temperature (193 K) compared to UiO-67 MOF. The high adsorption capacity of the synthesized composites was correlated to the high surface area and pore volume of the CuBTC MOF. Both MOFs retain structural integrity and long-range order even after exposure to 1000 kGy of radiation.

Elucidating the Role of Water on Limonene Oxidation with H 2 O 2 over γ -Al 2 O 3

Limonene oxide, which is produced from limonene epoxidation, is a valuable molecule that can be applied in flavor, fragrance, and renewable polymer applications. A catalytic reaction system using H 2 O 2 with γ-Al 2 O 3 and ethyl acetate (EtOAc) as the solvent has been explored as an effective system for this reaction. In these previous studies, a number of postulates have been proposed as to how water affects the reaction; therefore, the focus of this work is to elucidate the role of water in limonene epoxidation. While not impacting the selectivity to limonene oxide, the amount of water in the reaction system is shown to significantly impact the limonene reactivity. Furthermore, through both addition of excess water and removal of water with a Dean–Stark apparatus, the control of the H 2 O 2 /H 2 O ratio is demonstrated to be the primary factor controlling reactivity. In contrast, changes in limonene concentrations for a specific H 2 O 2 /H 2 O ratio are shown to have little impact on the reaction rate. This study shows that the competitive adsorption of H 2 O 2 and water on the catalyst surface is key in explaining the water impact on the reaction performance.

Electropolymerized-molecularly imprinted polymers (E-MIPS) as sensing elements for the detection of dengue infection

Here, a straightforward in situ detection method for dengue infection was demonstrated through the molecular imprinting of a dengue nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) epitope into an electropolymerized molecularly imprinted polyterthiophene (E-MIP) film sensor. The key enabling step in the sensor fabrication is based on an epitope imprinting strategy, in which short peptide sequences derived from the original target molecules were employed as the main template for detection and analysis. The formation of the E-MIP sensor films was facilitated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and monitored in situ by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EC-QCM). Surface properties were analyzed using different techniques including atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and polarization modulation-infrared reflection-adsorption (PM-IRRAS). The standard calibration curve (R = 0.9830) was generated for the detection of the epitope, Ac-VHTWTEQYKFQ-NH 2 , with a linear range of 0.2 to 30 μg/mL and detection limit of 0.073 μg/mL. A separate calibration curve (R = 0.9786) was obtained using spiked buffered solutions of dengue NS1 protein, which resulted in a linear range of 0.2 to 10 μg/mL and a detection limit of 0.056 μg/mL. The fabricated E-MIP sensor exhibited long-term stability, high sensitivity, and good selectivity towards the targeted molecules. These results indicated that the formation of the exact and stable cavity imprints in terms of size, shape, and functionalities was successful. In our future work, we aim to use our E-MIP sensors for NS1 detection in real-life samples such as serum and blood.

A reactive separation process for pre-combustion CO 2 capture employing oxygen-blown coal gasifier off-gas

In this paper, we present an experimental study of a reactive separation system, consisting of a membrane reactor (MR) and an adsorptive reactor (AR) operating in tandem, with the MR’s reject stream serving as the AR’s feed. We investigates the feasibility of applying this MR-AR system for high-purity H 2 production and simultaneous CO 2 capture via the water gas shift (WGS) reaction in the context of Integrated Gas Combined Cycle (IGCC) power generation employing oxygen-blown gasifier syngas from biomass and coal. We previously studied this MR-AR system for the IGCC process employing air-blown gasifier syngas, for which it demonstrated good performance, attaining high conversion exceeding equilibrium, producing ultra-pure H 2 for power generation, and a CO 2 stream ready for sequestration. In this study, we focus on oxygen-blown gasifier off-gas that contains no N 2 , with composition distinctly different from the air-blown gasifier syngas which has a large N 2 content. We employ a carbon molecular sieve membrane (CMSM), a commercial sour-shift WGS catalyst, and a hydrotalcite (HTC) adsorbent. We carried out experiments to determine membrane performance and to identify promising operating conditions in an IGCC-relevant environment. The CMSM proved robust during a long-term (~344 hr run) experimental run under high temperature and pressure maintaining a high He/N 2 selectivity (~170). Multi-cycle runs were carried out during which the MR-AR system displayed superior performance to that of a PBR, by producing a high purity H 2 product directly usable in power generation. Therefore, the findings from this study demonstrate the ability of the MR-AR system to operate stably for a broad range of gasifier off-gas compositions, and indicate its potential for integration into IGCC plants for power generation with CO 2 capture.

Convenient Confinement: Interplay of Solution Conditions and Graphene Oxide Film Structure on Rare Earth Separations

Graphene oxide (GO) membranes are excellent candidates for a range of separation applications, including rare earth segregation and radionuclide decontamination. Understanding nanoscale water and ion behavior near interfacial GO is critical for groundbreaking membrane advances, including improved selectivity and permeability. Here, we experimentally examine the impact of solution conditions on water and lanthanide interactions with interfacial GO films and connect these results to GO membrane performance. The investigation of the confined films at the air–water interface with a combination of surface-specific spectroscopy and X-ray scattering techniques allows us to understand water and ion behaviors separately. Sum frequency generation spectroscopy reveals a dramatic change in interfacial water organization because of graphene oxide film deprotonation. Interfacial X-ray fluorescence measurements show a 17× increase in adsorbed lanthanide to the GO film from subphase pH 3 to pH 9. Liquid surface X-ray reflectivity data show an additional 2.7 $e^–$ per Å 2 for GO films at pH 9 versus pH 3 as well. These results are connected to GO membrane performance, which show increased selectivity and decreased flux for membranes filtering pH 9 solutions. We posit insoluble lanthanide hydroxides form at higher pHs. Taken together, these results highlight the importance of interfacial experiments on model GO systems.

Corrosion of Stainless and Carbon Steel in Aqueous Piperazine for CO2 Capture

Current obstacles that prevent commercial implementation of amine-scrubbing CO2 capture are the high costs. Reducing capital costs by appropriate selection of construction materials, which requires knowledge of material corrosion performance for the process, will improve the economic feasibility of this technology. Corrosion was evaluated in three pilot plant campaigns using aqueous piperazine with the Advanced Stripper (PZAS). 316L stainless steel (SS) experienced higher corrosion than 304 SS and 2205 duplex SS, and the corrosion rate showed strong dependence on the temperature. 304 and 2205 performed well at all locations and should be good construction materials for PZAS. Degraded PZ exacerbated 316L corrosion, and removal of PZ degradation products using a carbon adsorption bed significantly reduced corrosion. Carbon steel (CS) corrosion showed a weak temperature effect because the corrosion was more dependent on the protective siderite film. The protectiveness of the films was related to fluid velocity. Ni-based alloys corroded in PZ, and the rate increased with temperature. Corrosion of C1010 CS and SS (304, 316L, 430) was measured at absorber and water wash conditions on the bench-scale. Corrosion rate decreases with increasing PZ. 8 With more than 0.003 m PZ in solution, CS has acceptable corrosion performance. Corrosion of CS increases with increasing partial pressure of CO2, suggesting loading is another dominant parameter for carbon steel corrosion. Temperature has a less significant effect than PZ concentration and loading. CS corrosion increases with increasing flow velocity at both absorber and water wash conditions. SS had little corrosion at this lower temperature. Performance of siderite (FeCO3) protective films on CS was studied at representative stripper conditions on the bench-scale. Siderite films can deposit on the surface of CS in CO2-loaded PZ solution at temperatures >100 °C and protect CS from corrosion. The protection may fail in degraded PZ. Ethylenediamine (EDA) is one of the major contributors for the loss of film protectiveness or can be the surrogate for the effect of PZ degradation on siderite film protection. A link between protectiveness and the apparent density of siderite films was discovered. The apparent density of siderite films decreases with increasing flow velocity and decreasing CO2 loading, resulting in higher corrosion of CS.

2‐Aminobenzenethiol‐Functionalized Silver‐Decorated Nanoporous Silicon Photoelectrodes for Selective CO 2 Reduction

Abstract A molecularly thin layer of 2‐aminobenzenethiol (2‐ABT) was adsorbed onto nanoporous p‐type silicon (b‐Si) photocathodes decorated with Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The addition of 2‐ABT alters the balance of the CO 2 reduction and hydrogen evolution reactions, resulting in more selective and efficient reduction of CO 2 to CO. The 2‐ABT adsorbate layer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and modeled by density functional theory calculations. Ex situ X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of the 2‐ABT modified electrodes suggests that surface Ag atoms are in the +1 oxidation state and coordinated to 2‐ABT via Ag−S bonds. Under visible light illumination, the onset potential for CO 2 reduction was −50 mV vs. RHE, an anodic shift of about 150 mV relative to a sample without 2‐ABT. The adsorption of 2‐ABT lowers the overpotentials for both CO 2 reduction and hydrogen evolution. A comparison of electrodes functionalized with different aromatic thiols and amines suggests that the primary role of the thiol group in 2‐ABT is to anchor the NH 2 group near the Ag surface, where it serves to bind CO 2 and also to assist in proton transfer.

Atomic Layer Deposition of Pt on the Surface Deactivated by Fluorocarbon Implantation: Investigation of the Growth Mechanism

Selective atomic layer deposition (ALD) using surface-controlled reactivity is attracting a great deal of attention as a simple bottom-up patterning process that can provide both continued dimensional scaling and accurate pattern placement for next-generation nanoelectronics. Previously, we reported topographically selective deposition through Pt ALD using a MeCpPtMe 3 precursor and an O 2 counter reactant on fluorocarbon (CF x )-modified surfaces; however, gradual loss of selectivity in the CF x -modified regions was observed during the Pt ALD process. This work develops a fundamental understanding of the microscopic growth mechanisms of Pt ALD on the CF x -modified surface using a combination of experimental analyses and theoretical methods. The Pt growth characteristics on the CF x surface are investigated within a temperature window from 225 to 350 °C, and the results show a sharp sensitivity to growth temperature, with significant Pt growth occurring at temperatures above 300 °C. Through density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the reaction energies for adsorption of oxygen and the MeCpPtMe 3 precursor as well as formation of reaction products of CF x degradation are determined. Based on experimental results in conjunction with the DFT calculations, we show that while lower temperature Pt ALD (<300 °C) on CF x -modified surfaces can be significantly retarded because of a lack of MeCpPtMe 3 chemisorption, the surface reaction pathways for Pt ALD on CF x -modified surfaces at temperatures above 300 °C can proceed through oxygen adsorption and CF 4 desorption followed by Pt nucleation in CF x -degraded regions.
