Influence of Cs Promoter on Ethanol Steam-Reforming Selectivity of Pt/m-ZrO 2 Catalysts at Low Temperature

The decarboxylation pathway in ethanol steam reforming ultimately favors higher selectivity to hydrogen over the decarbonylation mechanism. The addition of an optimized amount of Cs to Pt/m-ZrO 2 catalysts increases the basicity and promotes the decarboxylation route, converting ethanol to mainly H 2 , CO 2 , and CH 4 at low temperature with virtually no decarbonylation being detected. This offers the potential to feed the product stream into a conventional methane steam reformer for the production of hydrogen with higher selectivity. DRIFTS and the temperature-programmed reaction of ethanol steam reforming, as well as fixed bed catalyst testing, revealed that the addition of just 2.9% Cs was able to stave off decarbonylation almost completely by attenuating the metallic function. This occurs with a decrease in ethanol conversion of just 16% relative to the undoped catalyst. In comparison with our previous work with Na, this amount is—on an equivalent atomic basis—just 28% of the amount of Na that is required to achieve the same effect. Thus, Cs is a much more efficient promoter than Na in facilitating decarboxylation.

Cold-Sprayed NMC622 Composite as a Cathode for Lithium-Ion Batteries

The growing demand for high-energy, low-cost lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to power electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates advances in both materials and manufacturing processes. Conventional cathode fabrication methods, such as slurry casting and drying, are energy-intensive and pose challenges for scalability and environmental compliance. In this study, we propose cold-spray (CS) deposition as a solvent-free approach for fabricating LiNi 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 O 2 (NMC622) composite cathodes. Powder blends of NMC622, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), and carbon black (CB) are directly deposited onto stainless steel and Inconel substrates under varied gas temperatures, pressures (and thus velocities), and standoff distances. The effects of temperature on the deposit morphology, coating density, and volume are systematically investigated. Computational fluid dynamics simulations reveal that increasing the gas temperature enhances the particle velocity, narrows the spray angle, and reduces the mass concentration radially at the nozzle outlet. CS deposition results in a dense cathode microstructure, accompanied by fracture in polycrystalline NMC622 particles. X-ray diffraction analysis further verifies that there are no phase changes during the deposition process. The electrochemical performance of the cold-sprayed cathodes reveals an initial capacity of approximately 96 mAh g –1 for single-crystal NMC622 and 167 mAh g –1 for polycrystalline NMC622. While these values are modest compared to state-of-the-art slurry-cast cathodes, which typically exhibit 180–200 mAh g –1 under optimized conditions. The results demonstrate a competitive performance given the solvent-free nature of the CS process and compare favorably with tape-cast samples made from identical feedstock. In conclusion, he CS process enables the formation of dense, binder-integrated cathode coatings without the need for solvent processing, offering a promising pathway for scalable, energy-efficient dry electrode manufacturing of next-generation LIBs.

Heat capacity and thermodynamic functions of partially dehydrated cation-exchanged (Na + , Cs + , Cd 2+ , Li + , and NH 4 + ) $\mathrm{RHO}$ zeolites

Synthetic zeolites have a myriad of applications in industry due to their porous frameworks, potential to exhibit flexibility, and specific interactions with guest molecules. One topology of zeolites, RHO, is known to be flexible and have strong interactions with both H 2 O and CO 2 . Here we have performed heat capacity measurements on three partially dehydrated zeolite RHO samples containing extra-framework cations Na + and Cs + , Cd 2+ and Cs + , and Li + and NH 4 + to understand the energetics of these materials. Based on fits of the heat capacity data, we report smooth thermodynamic functions of C p,m , Δ T 0 S m °, Δ T 0 H m °, and Φ m ° for these samples. The standard S m ° at 298.15 K are 76.3 ± 0.8, 72.1 ± 0.8, and 68.8 ± 0.7 J∙K -1 ∙mol -1 for the Na,Cs RHO, Cd,Cs RHO, and Li,NH 4 RHO samples, respectively, and the standard H m ° at 298.15 K are 12.1 ± 0.1, 11.4 ± 0.1, and 11.4 ± 0.1 kJ∙mol -1 . Our measurements also show a transition in the heat capacity of Na,Cs RHO, the sample with the highest water content, between 180 and 300 K that is not clearly observed in the other two samples. We attribute this transition to labile water and cations in the framework. This movement could also be coupled with a temperature-induced lattice expansion. Future work will include heat capacity measurements on fully dehydrated and fully hydrated zeolite RHO in order to separate these two possible phenomena.

Metal-Tuned Ligand Reactivity Enables CX 2 (X = O, S) Homocoupling with Spectator Cu Centers

Ligand non-innocence is ubiquitous in catalysis with ligands in synthetic complexes contributing as electron reservoirs or co-sites for substrate activation. The latter chemical non-innocence is manifested in H + storage or relay at sites beyond the metal primary coordination sphere. Reaction of a competent CO 2 -to-oxalate reduction catalyst, namely, [K(THF) 3 ](Cu 3 SL), where L 3– is a tris(β-diketiminate) cyclophane, with CS 2 affords tetrathiooxalate at long reaction times or at high CS 2 concentrations, where otherwise an equilibrium is established between the starting species and a complex–CS 2 adduct in which the CS 2 is bound to the C atom on the ligand backbone. X-ray diffraction analysis of this adduct reveals no apparent metal participation, suggesting an entirely ligand-based reaction controlled by the charge state of the cluster. Here, thermodynamic parameters for the formation of the aforementioned Cligand–CS 2 bond were experimentally determined, and trends with cation Lewis acidity were studied, where more acidic cations shift the equilibrium toward the adduct. Relevance of such an adduct in the reduction of CO 2 to oxalate by this complex is supported by DFT studies, similar effects of countercation Lewis acidity on product formation, and the homocoupled heterocumulene product speciation as determined by isotopic labeling studies. Taken together, this system extends chemical non-innocence beyond H + to effect catalytic transformations involving C–C bond formation and represents the rarest example of metal–ligand cooperativity, that is, spectator metal ion(s) and the ligand as the reaction center.

Multiwavelength Characterization of an ACT-Selected, Lensed Dusty Star-Forming Galaxy at zeta 2.64

We present C I(21) and multi-transition C-12 O observations of a dusty star-forming galaxy, ACT J2029+0120,which we spectroscopically confirm to lie at zeta = 2.64. We detect CO(3-2), CO(5-4), CO(7-6), CO(8-7), and C I(2-1) at high significance, tentatively detect HCO+(4-3), and place strong upper limits on the integrated strength of dense gas tracers (HCN(4-3) and CS(7-6)). Multi-transition CO observations and dense gas tracers can provide valuable constraints on the molecular gas content and excitation conditions in high-redshift galaxies. We therefore use this unique data set to construct a CO spectral line energy distribution (SLED) of the source, which is most consistent with that of a ULIRG Seyfert or QSO host object in the taxonomy of the Herschel Comprehensive ULIRG Emission Survey. We employ RADEX models to fit the peak of the CO SLED, inferring a temperature of T approximately 117 K and n(sub H2) approximately 10(exp5) cm(exp -3), most consistent with a ULIRGQSO object and the presence of high-density tracers. We also find that the velocity width of the C I line is potentially larger than seen in all CO transitions forth is object, and that the L'(sub Ci(2-1))/L'(sub CO(3-2))ratio is also larger than seen in other lensed and unlensed submillimeter galaxies and QSO hosts; if confirmed, this anomaly could be an effect of differential lensing of a shocked molecular outflow.

Studies of the ultraviolet spectra of astronomical sources

An intensive program of observations of the Comet Halley during the week of the Vega 2 and Giotto encounters was carried out by the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite observatory. The IUE Fine Error Sensor, normally used for target acquisition and tracking, was used in a photometer mode to provide nealy continuous light curves over an 8 hour observing shift, a unique capability relative to ground-bases observers. The ultraviolet data can be used to derive an estimate of the total gas production rate even though the models generally used for this purpose assume a steady-state gas production which is clearly not the case for Halley. Additionally, the IUE data provide column abundances of carbon, oxygen, sulfur, OH, CO, CS, C2, and CO2 to compare with the in-situ measurements of these species by Vega 2 and Giotto.

Chemical fractionations in meteorites. V - Volatile and siderophile elements in achondrites and ocean ridge basalts.

Eighteen achondrites and 4 terrestrial basalts (3 ocean ridge, 1 continental) were analyzed by radiochemical neutron activation analysis for Ag, Au, Bi, Br, Cd, Co, Cs, Cu, Ga, In, Ir, Rb, Se, Tl and Zn. Samples included 7 eucrites, 5 howardites, 2 nakhlites, 2 shergottites, an angrite, and an aubrite. Light and dark portions of the gas-rich meteorites Kapoeta and Pesyanoe were analyzed separately. Nakhlites and shergottites have volatile element abundances similar to those in ocean ridge basalts; eucrites, howardites, and angrites show greater depletions by an order of magnitude and less similar abundance patterns. In terms of a two-component model of planetary accretion, the parent planets contained the following percentages of low-temperature material: eucrites 0.8, nakhlites 38, shergottites 28. Shergottites may be genetically related to L-chondrites. The siderophile element pattern of achondrites resembles that of the moon, but with less extreme depletions.

Very Large Array Ammonia Observations of the HH 111/HH 121 Protostellar System: A Detection of a New Source with a Peculiar Chemistry

We present the results of Very Large Array NH3 (J, K) = (1, 1) and (2, 2) observations of the HH 111/HH 121 protostellar system. HH 111, with a spectacular collimated optical jet, is one of the most well-known Herbig-Haro objects. We report the detection of a new source, NH3-S, in the vicinity of HH 111/HH 121 (approximately 0.03 parsecs from the HH 111 jet source) in two epochs of the ammonia observations. This constitutes the first detection of this source, in a region that has been thoroughly covered previously by both continuum and spectral line interferometric observations. We study the kinematic and physical properties of HH 111 and the newly discovered NH3-S. We also use HCO plus and HCN (J=4-3) data obtained with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope and archival Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (sup 13) CO, (sup 12) CO, and C (sup 18) O (J=2-1), N2D plus (J=3-2), and (sup 13) CS (J=5-4) data to gain insight into the nature of NH3-S. The chemical structure of NH3-S shows evidence for "selective freeze-out," an inherent characteristic of dense cold cores. The inner part of NH3-S shows subsonic nonthermal velocity dispersions indicating a "coherent core," while they increase in the direction of the jets. Archival near- to far-infrared data show no indication of any embedded source in NH3-S. The properties of NH3-S and its location in the infrared dark cloud suggest that it is a starless core located in a turbulent medium, with the turbulence induced by Herbig-Haro jets and associated outflows. More data are needed to fully understand the physical and chemical properties of NH3-S and if/how its evolution is affected by nearby jets.

Legacy Well Leakage Risk Analysis at the Farnsworth Unit Site

This paper summarizes the results of the risk analysis and characterization of the CO 2 and brine leakage potential of Farnsworth Unit (FWU) site wells. The study is part of the U.S. DOE’s National Risk Assessment Partnership (NRAP) program, which aims to quantitatively evaluate long-term environmental risks under conditions of significant geologic uncertainty and variability. To achieve this, NRAP utilizes risk assessment and computational tools specifically designed to quantify uncertainties and calculate the risk associated with geologic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) sequestration. For this study, we have developed a workflow that utilizes physics-based reservoir simulation results as input to perform leakage calculations using NRAP Tools, specifically NRAP-IAM-CS and RROM-Gen. These tools enable us to conduct leakage risk analysis based on ECLIPSE reservoir simulation results and to characterize wellbore leakage at the Farnsworth Unit Site. We analyze the risk of leakage from both individual wells and the entire field under various wellbore integrity distribution scenarios. The results of the risk analysis for the leakage potential of FWU wells indicate that, when compared to the total amount of CO 2 injected, the highest cemented well integrity distribution scenario (FutureGen high flow rate) exhibits approximately 0.01% cumulative CO 2 leakage for a 25-year CO 2 injection duration at the end of a 50-year post-injection monitoring period. In contrast, the highest possible leakage scenario (open well) shows approximately 0.1% cumulative CO 2 leakage over the same time frame.

How correlations change the magnetic structure factor of the kagome Hubbard model

The kagome Hubbard model (KHM) is a paradigmatic example of a frustrated two-dimensional model. While its strongly correlated regime, described by a Heisenberg model, is of topical interest due to its enigmatic prospective spin-liquid ground state, the weakly and moderately correlated regimes remain largely unexplored. Motivated by the rapidly growing number of metallic kagome materials (e.g., Mn 3 Sn, Fe 3 Sn 2 , FeSn, Co 3 Sn 2 S 2 , Gd 3 Ru 4 Al 12 , and AV 3 Sb 5 with A = K, Rb, Cs), here we study the respective regimes of the KHM by means of three complementary numerical methods: the dynamical mean-field theory, the dynamical vertex approximation, and determinant quantum Monte Carlo. In contrast to the archetypal square lattice, we find no tendencies toward magnetic ordering, as magnetic correlations remain short-range. Nevertheless, the magnetic correlations undergo a remarkable crossover as the system approaches the metal-to-insulator transition. The Mott transition itself does not affect the magnetic correlations. Our equal-time and dynamical structure factors can be used as a reference for inelastic neutron scattering experiments on the growing family of metallic kagome materials.
