High performance polymers for oil and gas applications

Proper material selection has been one of the most important aspects in the design of chemical process equipment. In particular, the oil and gas industry has transitioned from using metals to non-metals (e.g. advanced and high performance polymeric materials) in most of their structural components, coatings, equipment parts, and the like. It is therefore imperative to understand the advantages and limitations of these polymer materials before they can be effectively used for a specific application. This review article aims to provide an overview of the properties, applications, and durability against reactivity and degradation of high performance polymers commonly used in the oil and gas industry. These include polysulfone, polyetherimide, polyphenylene sulfide, polyetheretherketone, fluoropolymers, and other high performance thermosets, elastomers, and polymer nanocomposites. Further, this article covers the current research efforts in improving the properties of high performance polymers and expanding their applications (including 3D printing or additive manufacturing) in the oil and gas industry.

Numerical study of implosion instability mitigation in magnetically driven solid liner dynamic screw pinches

Magnetized liner inertial fusion experiments on the Z accelerator suffer from magneto-Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities (MRTI) that compromise integrity of the imploding cylindrical liner, limiting achievable fusion fuel conditions and ultimately reducing magneto-inertial fusion target performance. Dynamic screw pinches (DSP) provide a method to reduce MRTI in-flight via application of magnetic field line tension to the imploding liner outer surface. In contrast with z-pinches that drive implosions with an azimuthal magnetic field, dynamic screw pinches enforce an additional axial drive magnetic field component, making the overall drive magnetic field helical. As the liner implodes, cumulative MRTI development is reduced by dynamically shifting the orientation of the fastest growing instability modes. Three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations show that the DSP mechanism effectively stabilizes initially solid cylindrical liner implosions driven by Z-scale current pulses, indicating that MRTI mitigation increases with the ratio of axial to azimuthal drive magnetic field components (i.e., the drive field ratio). We also performed a spectral analysis of the simulated imploding density distributions, extracting wavelength and pitch angle of the simulated MRTI structures to study their dynamics during the implosion. Simulations of liners initially perturbed with drive-field-aligned sinusoidal structures indicate that MRTI mitigation in DSP implosions decreases with perturbation wavelength, once again suggestive of magnetic field line tension effects.

Modeling and Simulation of Air-Source CO2 Heat Pump Water Heater

Carbon dioxide (CO2) has been widely used as working fluid for the vapor-compression refrigeration systems in large marine device. Due to the potential energy efficiency and the favorable environmental properties of CO2 as a working fluid, CO2 heat pump water heater (HPWH) systems are regarded a promising technology for centralized domestic hot water (DHW) heating in residential and commercial buildings. However, there is still at the early stage of appropriately optimizing and improving the energy performance of CO2 HPWH. This requires CO2 HPWH simulation tools capable of capturing the accurate impact of the emerging compressor, throttle device, and heat exchanger technology on CO2 heat transfer and energy efficiency. In this study, high efficiency components (compressors, pumps, fans, heat exchangers) were identified and applied to the state-of-art CO2 HPWH designs and analyzed their performance by using numerical simulation. This was done by simulating the performance of CO2 HPWH using ACMODEL design model combined with the component models developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for orifice tube, map-based compressor, and tube-in-tube gas cooler. ACMODEL is an equipment design model for CO2-based air conditioners and heat pumps developed by Purdue University to account for the details of each component. The simulated CO2 HPWH performance was then compared with the heat pump water heater using conventional refrigerants.

Open Architecture for Cost Savings in Advanced Nuclear Reactors

Recently, nuclear power plant build projects in the West have run over budget due to high capital costs and schedule overruns. Compared to other sources of energy, nuclear power plants have higher capital costs. Reactors are often different at every site, resulting in a lack of standardization. Nuclear is expected to compete with other low carbon sources of energy which have lower capital costs making it essential for nuclear to develop ways of reducing costs. Strategies such as standardization, learning rates, modularization, and schedule reduction in advanced reactors can reduce nuclear costs by about 40%. Standardization as a way of cutting capital costs has been explored even in large nuclear power plants. Standardization of certain plant components can result in lower component and installation costs and higher learning from experience. Standardization can be achieved by adopting a criterion of key performance indicators and general design principles for a specific system or component such as the balance of plant. Modularization allows the construction of certain components of SMRs in a factory, which saves time, increases productivity, and encourages higher learning rates. Production learning decreases the time and the cost related to an activity. The potential for modularized components of advanced reactors to be manufactured in factories makes it conducive to achieving higher learning rates. Developing large-capacity nuclear programs through sequential builds cultivates a higher learning rate, which in effect may reduce schedule overruns. Open architecture has been identified as a way to drive standardization among advanced reactor designs and result in cost savings. Open architecture (OA) is defined as a design enabling a diverse supply chain by defining and publishing requirements of systems or equipment in functional and/or interface terms, utilizing technical standards in widespread use. Currently, the nuclear industry’s approach is to use closed architecture, making most designs proprietary. However, collaboration between various advanced reactor vendors and suppliers utilizing the concept of open architecture can result in modular and standardized architecture of subsystems or subcomponents of a nuclear power plant. Completely standardizing nuclear power plants may be impossible, however, certain common subsystems amongst the various reactor designs could be standardized and/or access a wider supply chain and leverage existing learning from other sectors. Open architecture will save time and allocate resources to the parts of the plants that have the most unique features. A key advantage of open architecture is its ability to improve production learning across advanced reactors (AR) types in the industry, by providing and utilizing the same kind of component. Sodium fast reactor (SFR), High Temperature Gas Reactor (HTGR) and Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) are the advanced reactors considered for this project. This paper aims to determine the cost savings in advanced reactor programs due to open architecture learning rate. This work is an extension of work done on light water reactor small modular reactors; the cost methodology was utilized to investigate the impact of open architecture on advanced reactors with a particular focus on sodium fast reactors. The cost data on sodium fast reactors used in the model presented the most adequate information required for the analysis.

Robust Spectral Anomaly Detection in EELS Spectral Images via 3D Convolutional Variational Autoencoders

Abstract A 3D Convolutional Variational Autoencoder (3D‐CVAE) is introduced for automated anomaly detection in electron energy‐loss spectroscopy spectrum imaging (EELS‐SI) data. This approach leverages the full 3D structure of EELS‐SI data to detect subtle spectral anomalies while preserving both spatial and spectral correlations across the datacube. By employing cross‐entropy loss and training on bulk spectra, the model learns to reconstruct bulk features characteristic of the defect‐free material. In exploring methods for anomaly detection, both the 3D‐CVAE approach and principal component analysis (PCA) are evaluated, testing their performance using FeL‐edge ΔEpeak shifts designed to simulate material defects. These results show that 3D‐CVAE achieves superior anomaly detection and maintains consistent performance across various shift magnitudes. The method demonstrates clear bimodal separation between bulk and anomalous spectra, enabling reliable classification. Further analysis verifies that lower‐dimensional representations are robust to anomalies in the data. While performance advantages over PCA diminish with decreasing anomaly concentration, our method maintains high reconstruction quality even in challenging, noise‐dominated spectral regions. This approach provides a robust framework for unsupervised automated detection of spectral anomalies in EELS‐SI data, particularly valuable for analyzing complex material systems.

Assessing geothermal/solar hybridization – Integrating a solar thermal topping cycle into a geothermal bottoming cycle with energy storage

Geothermal and concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies typically use heat at different temperatures in their commercial deployments. This enables a technically viable hybridization of a solar topping cycle and a geothermal bottoming cycle at locations where both resources are available. In this article, an underperforming geothermal power system based at Burley, Idaho is used as a baseline to investigate the technical and economic potential of such a hybrid cycle. A direct thermal energy storage (TES) system is also integrated to overcome the intermittency of the solar resource. Design and off-design behavior of key components are modelled to simulate the annual performance of the hybrid system on an hourly basis. The sizing of the solar field and thermal storage is investigated and is seen to significantly impact the annual electricity generation and efficiency. Various cost scenarios for the solar field and thermal energy storage are investigated. An economic metric - levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) - is used to optimize the solar field sizing and TES capacity. The hybrid plant converts the additional solar heat input into additional work with an efficiency of 32.9%. Retrofitting a geothermal plant with solar and eight hours of energy storage can achieve an LCOE of 0.136 $/kWhe in current cost scenarios and 0.081 $/kWhe in a future cost reduction scenario. Although the hybrid system cannot directly compete with current PV systems without batteries, it has an LCOE 32% lower than that of a PV-battery system. This paper provides insights into the research and development of the future grid with a high renewable energy penetration and encourages further study of energy hybridization for improved efficiencies and economics.

Mobility of heavy rare earth elements in magmatic-hydrothermal systems: Experimental determination of DyPO 4 solubility in supercritical fluids

Dysprosium (Dy) is part of the heavy rare earth elements (REE) and a critical component in the production of high-performance super magnets used in wind turbines, electric vehicles, and other green technologies. The HREE phosphate, xenotime, is commonly associated with hydrothermal systems, where the mobility, fractionation, and deposition of REE are controlled by the stability of aqueous complexes and solubility of REE minerals which depend on temperature, pressure, and fluid composition (salinity, pH, and ligand availability). Here, we conducted a series of synthetic DyPO 4 solubility experiments in NaCl-HCl-bearing aqueous solutions (pH of 2 at 25 °C) from 500 to 700 °C and 1.5 kbar using externally heated pressure vessels. DyPO 4 displays a strong prograde solubility with temperature across all studied fluid salinities (0–0.5 m NaCl). The DyPO₄ solubility isotherms at 500 °C, 600 °C, and 700 °C show a complex relationship with salinity where DyPO₄ solubility is highest (39.2–1552 ppm at 500–700 °C) in 0 m NaCl solutions, decreases strongly (21–331 ppm at 500–700 °C) in the 0.06 m NaCl solutions and remains relatively constant in the 0.25 m (42.8–248 ppm) and 0.5 m NaCl (40.2–124 ppm) solutions. Thermodynamic modeling suggests that pH increases as a function of temperature and salinity, and controls solubility due to the stability of chloride complexes (i.e., DyCl +2 and DyCl 2 + ) at 500–600 °C, transitioning to hydroxyl complexes (i.e., Dy(OH) 3 0 ) dominating at 700 °C and relatively alkaline pH. Comparison with NdPO 4 solubility data indicates that the light REE in monazite is significantly more soluble than the heavy REE in xenotime in saline fluids at high temperature (500–700 °C), implying efficient light/heavy REE fractionation in supercritical fluids. The lower solubility of DyPO 4 relative to NdPO 4 suggests that at high temperatures, acidic (pH 2–4), low-salinity (∼5 wt% NaCl) fluids will favor the precipitation of xenotime over monazite as it will cool from 700 °C to below 500 °C. These observations align with paragenetic mineral assemblages in NYF pegmatites (e.g., Baveno, Italy), where xenotime commonly immobilizes heavy REE during the high-temperature hydrothermal stages.

Peridynamic modeling of cementitious materials for nuclear waste management

Radioactive and hazardous waste generated from fuel processing plants, nuclear reactors, and hospitals, requires effective management strategies. Cementitious materials are widely applied for these needs, serving as structural materials, reactive barriers, or waste forms. In these applications cracking poses a significant risk to performance, driven by inconsistent shrinkage of the components and the varying strength and permeability of their interfaces. Traditional modeling approaches face challenges in representing the complex fracture behavior of cementitious materials due to the reliance on spatial derivatives and difficulties with mesh generation. Here, to overcome these limitations, we employ peridynamics, a novel continuum mechanics formulation that uses integrals to describe mechanical equilibrium, avoiding discontinuities associated with traditional methods. Through incorporation of a bi-linear softening model and quasistatics, an experimentally validated model for Portland cement concrete samples was created. Mechanical parameters, including compressive strength and elastic modulus were validated and variation due to aggregate packing was evaluated. Additionally, sensitivity analysis of the peridynamic parameters to the bulk material properties was established. The results lay the groundwork for evaluating the impact of unique conditions of cementitious waste forms that can be assessed to improve the reliability of waste management strategies.

CFD unified approach under Eulerian–Lagrangian framework for methanol and gasoline direct injection sprays in evaporative and flash boiling conditions

Innovative synthetic fuels for advanced propulsion systems, such as methanol and ammonia, and synthetic blended fuels (E00, E10, and E30), known for their high volatility, are often injected directly into combustion chambers. It follows that Eulerian–Lagrangian spray models need to accurately capture the spray collapse as a consequence of flash boiling onset and be capable of proficiently handling the preferential evaporation of multi-component fuels in evaporative scenarios. So, we performed the assessment of an Eulerian–Lagrangian CFD code for simulating methanol and E00 gasoline blend sprays in both early and late injection conditions involving flash boiling conditions and preferential evaporation. The adoption of an effervescent breakup model and of a non-equilibrium phase transition model for the discrete phase allows the adoption of a setup that is almost completely free from specific constant tuning, especially for what concerns the breakup model. We validated the simulations using experimental PLV maps of methanol and E00 sprays issued from the ECN Spray M injector. The results highlight a significantly different morphology of the methanol spray compared to the E00 one under late injection conditions. Under stratified combustion, low-volatile fuels are likely to be ignited first, and the flame propagates toward the high-volatile fuels. In conclusion, the spray collapse was also correctly reproduced, inducing the presence of a low-pressure zone and modifying the spray morphology.

On plasticity-enhanced interfacial toughness in bonded joints

Here, the performance and reliability of many structures and components depend on the integrity of interfaces between dissimilar materials. Interfacial toughness Γ is the key material parameter that characterizes resistance to interfacial crack growth, and Γ is known to depend on many factors including temperature. For example, previous work showed that the toughness of an epoxy/aluminum interface decreased 40 % as the test temperature was increased from -60 °C to room temperature (RT). Interfacial integrity at elevated temperatures is of considerable practical importance. Recent measurements show that instead of continuing to decrease with increasing temperature, Γ increases when test temperature is above RT. Cohesive zone finite element calculations of an adhesively bonded, asymmetric double cantilever beam specimen of the type used to measure Γ suggest that this increase in toughness may be a result of R-curve behavior generated by plasticity-enhanced toughening during stable subcritical crack growth with interfacial toughness defined as the critical steady-state limit value. In these calculations, which used an elastic-perfectly plastic epoxy model with a temperature-dependent yield strength, the plasticity-enhanced increase in Γ above its intrinsic value Γ o depended on the ratio of interfacial strength σ* to the yield strength σyb of the bond material. There is a nonlinear relationship between Γ/Γ o and σ*/σ yb with the value Γ/Γ o increasing rapidly above a threshold value of σ*/σ yb . The predicted increase in toughness can be significant. For example, there is nearly a factor of two predicted increase in Γ/Γ o during micrometer-scale crack-growth when σ*/σ yb = 2 (a reasonable choice for σ*/σ yb ). Furthermore, contrary to other reported results, plasticity-enhanced toughening can occur prior to crack advance as the cohesive zone forms and the peak stress at the tip of the original crack tip translates to the tip of the fully formed cohesive zone. These results suggest that plasticity-enhanced toughening should be considered when modeling interfaces at elevated temperatures.

Enhancing durability of polymer electrolyte membrane using cation size selective agents

Radical species generated during proton exchange membrane fuel cell operation considerably limit the achievable durability, particularly for heavy-duty vehicle applications. A promising solution to the problem is the incorporation of radical scavenger additives such as cerium which mitigates chemical attacks on the membrane. However, these additives migrate during fuel cell operation causing a loss in durability and performance due to detrimental interaction with various components of the fuel cell. Here, we study cation size selective agents as a means to immobilize cerium within perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) membranes. We synthesized an organometallic complex of cerium with 15-Crown-5 and investigated the effectiveness of this complex to immobilize cerium. Over 300% increase in cerium retention and an 80% increase in chemical durability were observed owing to the stabilization effect of crown ethers on cerium. Migration under a potential gradient can be eliminated while the complex also contributes to the enhancement in cerium radical scavenging activity. In conclusion, current challenges with the proposed solution are highlighted and future work is discussed.

Survey of tungsten gross erosion from main plasma facing components in WEST during a L-mode high fluence campaign

An initial high fluence campaign was performed in WEST, in 2023, on the newly installed actively cooled tungsten divertor composed of ITER-grade monoblocks. The campaign consisted in the repetition of a 60 s long Deuterium L-mode pulse in attached divertor conditions, cumulating over 10000s of plasma exposure. A maximum deuterium fluence of approximately 5⋅1⁢026 m−2 was reached in the outer strike point region, representative of a few high performance ITER pulses. Gross tungsten erosion inferred from visible spectroscopy shows that the most eroded plasma facing component is the inner divertor target with rates ten times larger than on the outer divertor target. The outer midplane tungsten bumpers, located a few centimeters from the plasma, show gross erosion rates two times lower than at the outer divertor. We conclude that the outer midplane bumpers have a negligible contribution to the long range tungsten migration and deposition onto the lower divertor. The cumulated gross erosion rate on the inner divertor translates in an effective gross erosion thickness of about 20μ⁢m, while it is about 2μ⁢m for the outer divertor. Strikingly, these orderings coincide with the thickness of deposits found locally on the divertor: the exposed surfaces of high field side monoblocks are covered with several tens of μ⁢m tungsten deposits, while on the lower field side, few μ⁢m thin tungsten deposits are only found on the magnetically shadowed parts of monoblocks. The strong impact of those deposits on WEST operation, namely perturbation of surface temperature measurement with infra-red thermography, and the emission of flakes causing radiative perturbation of the confined plasma, calls for anticipating similar issues in ITER. In particular, the start of research operation shall consider the definition of a divertor erosion budget in order to anticipate the formation of deleterious deposits.

Precise Colloidal Plasmonic Photocatalysts Constructed by Multistep Photodepositions

Natural photosynthesis relies on a sophisticated charge transfer pathway among multiple components with precise spatial, energetic, and temporal organizations in the aqueous environment. It continues to inspire and challenge the design and fabrication of artificial multicomponent colloidal nanostructures for solar-to-fuel conversion. Herein, we introduce a plasmonic photocatalyst synthesized with colloidal methods with five integrated components including cocatalysts installed in orthogonal locations. The precise deposition of individual inorganic components on an Au/TiO 2 nanodumbell nanostructure is enabled by photoreduction and photo-oxidation, which selectively occurs at the TiO 2 tip sites and Au lateral sites, respectively. Under visible-light irradiation, the photocatalyst exhibited activity of oxygen evolution from water without scavengers. Here, we demonstrate that each component is essential for improving the photocatalytic performance. In addition, mechanistic studies suggest that the photocatalytic reaction requires combining the hot charge carriers derived from exciting both the d-sp interband transition and the localized surface plasmon resonance of Au.

Electric-Field-Driven Localization of Molecular Nanowires in Wafer-Scale Nanogap Electrodes

As integrated circuits continue to scale toward the atomic limit, bottom-up processes, such as epitaxial growth, have come to feature prominently in their fabrication. At the same time, chemistry has developed highly tunable molecular semiconductors that can perform the functions of ultimately scaled circuit components. Hybrid techniques that integrate programmable structures comprising molecular components into devices however are sorely lacking. Here we demonstrate a wafer-scale process that directs the localization of a conductive polymer, M w = 20 kg mol –1 polyaniline, from dilute solutions into 50 nm vertical nanogap device architectures using electric-field-driven self-assembly. The resulting metal–polymer–metal junctions were characterized by electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and transport measurements demonstrating that our technique is highly selective, assembling conductive polymers only in electrically activated nanogaps. Our results represent a step toward scalable hybrid nanoelectronics that seamlessly integrate established lithographic top-down fabrication with bottom-up synthesized molecular functional circuit components.

Rigid-Rod Sulfonated Polyamide as an Aqueous-Processable Binder for Li-Ion Battery Electrodes

Polymer binders are important components of most battery electrodes, ensuring high performance and long-term durability. Increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries in the automotive, stationary power, and portable electronics industries calls for a greener binder to replace poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF). We evaluate the performance of aqueous solution-processed electrodes prepared with a rigid-rod polymer binder, poly(2,2'-disulfonyl-4,4'-benzidine terephthalamide) (PBDT). The polyamide backbone and double-helical configuration of PBDT give rise to its mechanical strength and rigidity, and its functional nature (H-bonding amides and sulfonates) can provide specific binding with electrode particles. LiFePO 4 electrodes prepared with 3 wt% PBDT show mechanical integrity and cycling stability, achieving over 1000 cycles at 4C rate with negligible capacity decay. These electrodes demonstrate comparable rate performance with their PVDF counterparts while eliminating fluorine from the electrode as well as the organic solvents needed for processing. Furthermore, this study reveals that PBDT holds great potential as a binder for advanced sustainable batteries.

Strategic Melamine Coating on Lithium Metal for Li 3 N-Rich Solid Electrolyte Interphase and Improved Battery Cycling Stability

The practical applications of lithium (Li) metal batteries (LMBs) are limited by challenges such as dendrite formation and unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), especially at higher C-rates. Here, this study introduces melamine-coated Li metal anodes (LMAs), forming a Li 3 N-rich SEI layer that improves ionic conductivity and mechanical stability. The optimized melamine-coated LMA demonstrated uniform coverage resulting in denser Li deposition, nearly doubled cycle life (~148 cycles at 0.5 C, 1C = 4.1 mA cm -2 ), compared to Bare-Li. These findings emphasize that coating materials-induced beneficial SEI components could lead to improvement of LMB performance.

Composition, Activity, and Stability of IrO x Oxygen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalysts

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is integral to several electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies, including carbon dioxide reduction to value added fuels, nitrogen reduction to ammonia, reversible fuel cells, rechargeable metal−air batteries, and water electrolysis to produce hydrogen. Iridium oxide (IrO x ) is widely recognized as the benchmark OER catalyst for acidic environments. Despite widespread use of IrO x catalysts, most notably in proton-exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs), a comprehensive understanding of the physicochemical properties of commercial catalysts and the impact of these properties on both the activity and stability of these catalysts is lacking. Here, we study commercial IrO x catalysts with different physicochemical properties, three nominally considered amorphous and three rutile, to elucidate how structural and compositional variations affect OER activity and stability. Utilizing standardized aqueous electrochemical protocols, time-resolved dissolution quantification using inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and physicochemical characterization, including multiple synchrotron X-ray techniques, we systematically correlate catalyst properties with OER performance and degradation behavior aided by principal component analysis (PCA). Our results demonstrate the general trend of amorphous IrO x having higher intrinsic activity but limited stability and crystalline rutile IrO 2 having lower activity but enhanced stability against dissolution. The trends within the amorphous and rutile catalyst groups correlate with inherent material properties, including phase composition and structure, crystallinity, particle size, surface area, and surface structure/chemistry. Notably, we identify a rutile catalyst with the largest crystallite/ domain sizes, moderate surface area, a small fraction of hydrous phase, and a favorable pore structure (trimodal distributions of pore sizes ranging from 2−5 nm) that exhibits the best balance between activity and stability among the six catalysts studied here. These findings illustrate a fundamental structure-governed trade-off between activity and stability and highlight the critical role of surface chemistry modification and structure engineering in IrO x catalyst optimization.
