Influence of Ag metal dispersion on the thermal conversion of ethanol to butadiene over Ag-ZrO 2 /SiO 2 catalysts

Atomistic scale models were developed and coupled with experimental investigation to deliver a functional understanding of catalytic activity and selectivity in the conversion of ethanol to 1,3-butadiene over Ag/ZrO 2 /SiO 2 . A detailed evaluation of the structural and electronic properties of the resultant catalyst models led to the identification of critical active sites of the catalyst. More importantly, the extent of Ag dispersion on the SiO 2 support and relative proximity to ZrO 2 were found to vary with the oxidation state of Ag and local coordination environment (Ag-O SiO2 ) allowing for critical control of ethanol conversion towards butadiene or ethylene. Simulations revealed that less dispersed or clustered Ag contain predominantly Ag 0 charge state and promote conversion of ethanol to ethylene. The well-dispersed Ag/ZrO 2 /SiO 2 catalyst instead contain a larger fraction of cationic Ag δ+ , and predominantly promote ethanol dehydrogenation and subsequent production of butadiene. The theoretical insights drawn were validated and confirmed experimentally using TEM, XRD and reactivity measurements demonstrating the effect of Ag dispersion on the selectivity of ethanol conversion.

Multiscale formulation of frictional contact mechanics at the pore scale

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) yields the highest fidelity predictions of mechanical deformation at the pore scale, but is prohibitively expensive for analyzing large or many samples. Discrete element methods (DEM) are an efficient alternative, but are limited to granular media and incapable of estimating or controlling prediction errors. We present a pore-level multiscale method (PLMM) that approximates DNS efficiently and with controllable accuracy. We focus on the linear elastic response of a consolidated geologic porous medium with arbitrary microstructure, heterogeneous mineralogy, containing cracks or defects. PLMM decomposes the solid phase into non-overlapping subdomains, on which local basis functions are constructed. The bases are then coupled with a global interface problem that accounts for slip or stick contact conditions between the subdomains. PLMM produces an initial, but accurate, approximation to DNS that can be iteratively improved. It is amenable to parallelism and allows for different mesh, models, and physics in each subdomain. An algebraic interpretation of PLMM as a preconditioner is also presented to allow non-intrusive implementation into existing solvers. Lastly, this work extends previous developments of PLMM in fluid dynamics to solid mechanics and enables future extensions towards modeling coupled flow and mechanics problems.

Implementation of higher-order velocity mapping between marker particles and grid in the particle-in-cell code XGC

The global total-f gyrokinetic particle-in-cell code XGC, used to study transport in magnetic fusion plasmas or to couple with a core gyrokinetic code while functioning as an edge gyrokinetic code, implements a five-dimensional continuum grid to perform the dissipative operations, such as plasma collisions, or to exchange the particle distribution function information with a core code. To transfer the distribution function between marker particles and a rectangular two-dimensional velocity-space grid, XGC employs a bilinear mapping. The conservation of particle density and momentum is accurate enough in this bilinear operation, but the error in the particle energy conservation can become undesirably large and cause non-negligible numerical heating in a steep edge pedestal. In the present work we update XGC to use a novel mapping technique, based on the calculation of a pseudo-inverse, to exactly preserve moments up to the order of the discretization space. Here we describe the details of the implementation and we demonstrate the reduced interpolation error for a tokamak test plasma using first- and second-order elements with the pseudo-inverse method and comparing with the bilinear mapping.

Synthesis and Characterization of Pyridine Dipyrrolide Uranyl Complexes

The first actinide complexes of the pyridine dipyrrolide (PDP) ligand class, ( Mes PDP Ph )UO 2 (THF) and ( Cl2Ph PDP Ph )UO 2 (THF), are reported as the U VI uranyl adducts of the bulky aryl substituted pincers ( Mes PDP Ph ) 2– and ( Cl2Ph PDP Ph ) 2– (derived from 2,6-bis(5-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-3-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)pyridine (H 2 Mes PDP Ph , Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl), and 2,6-bis(5-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)pyridine (H 2 Cl2Ph PDP Ph , Cl 2 Ph = 2,6-dichlorophenyl), respectively). Following the in situ deprotonation of the proligand with lithium hexamethyldisilazide to generate the corresponding dilithium salts (e.g., Li 2 Ar PDP Ph , Ar = Mes of Cl 2 Ph), salt metathesis with [UO 2 Cl 2 (THF) 2 ] 2 afforded both compounds in moderate yields. The characterization of each species has been undertaken by a combination of solid- and solution-state methods, including combustion analysis, infrared, electronic absorption, and NMR spectroscopies. In both complexes, single-crystal X-ray diffraction has revealed a distorted octahedral geometry in the solid state, enforced by the bite angle of the rigid meridional ( Ar PDP Ph ) 2– pincer ligand. The electrochemical analysis of both compounds by cyclic voltammetry in tetrahydrofuran (THF) reveals rich redox profiles, including events assigned as U VI /U V redox couples. Here, a time-dependent density functional theory study has been performed on ( Mes PDP Ph )UO 2 (THF) and provides insight into the nature of the transitions that comprise its electronic absorption spectrum.

Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Study of the Reduction of Acetone by the Hydrated Electron

We have investigated the reaction dynamics of the reduction of acetone by the solvated electron in water using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations at 298 and 373 K. The rate constants derived from the simulations are consistent with experimental observations that the reaction has a low activation energy. Detailed analyses carried out to shed light on the mechanism of the reaction show that solvent reorganization plays a key role as a reaction coordinate, as expected from the Marcus electron transfer theory. Furthermore, constrained density functional theory calculations indicate that the electronic coupling is large, placing the reaction in the adiabatic limit. Indeed, the activation energies and rate constants of the simulations are in accordance with the predictions of adiabatic Marcus theory.

Role of Dynamic Polarization Interactions in the Electrical Double Layer at Calcite (104) Interfaces with Aqueous Solutions

Reactions at mineral interfaces with aqueous solutions control many geochemical and biogeochemical processes in the Earth’s critical zone. At the molecular level, insights into important properties such as the structure of the electrical double layer (EDL) at specific mineral interfaces continue to improve due to the increasing fidelity of laboratory instrumentation and computational approaches. However, molecular simulation approaches suffer from limited reach into relevant scales of time, length, and system complexity. To span this gap, a novel hybrid approach that couples first principle plane-wave density functional theory (DFT) with classical DFT (cDFT) is demonstrated and applied to calcite (104) interfaces with various electrolytes. In this approach, a region of interest described using DFT interacts with the surrounding medium described using cDFT to arrive at a self-consistent ground state. Benchmarking against experimental observations and entirely first principle DFT simulations demonstrates that this hybrid model efficiently encompasses the key short-range and collective interactions in the EDL. Simulations of calcite (104)/solution interfaces reveal the key static and dynamic polarization interactions that give rise to structuring of ions and water. Ion hydration interactions have the strongest effect on the depth of the first minimum in the density distribution of counterions at the surface, and the position and width of the first density peak is largely determined by the strength of ion-correlation forces. Finer details of ion distributions are controlled by mutual polarization of the calcite surface and interfacial electrolyte. Finally, this new ability to efficiently and rigorously predict EDL structure at mineral surfaces in contact with complex solutions paves the way to accurately modeling sorption, nucleation, dissolution, and growth in realistic systems.

Coupling between Emissive Defects on Carbon Nanotubes: Modeling Insights

Covalent functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with organic molecules results in red-shifted emissive states associated with sp 3 -defects in the tube lattice, which facilitate their improved optical functionality, including single-photon emission. The energy of the defect-based electronic excitations (excitons) depends on the molecular adducts, the configuration of the defect, and concentration of defects. In this work, we model the interactions between two sp 3 -defects placed at various distances in the (6,5) SWCNT using time-dependent density functional theory. Calculations reveal that these interactions conform to the effective model of J-aggregates for well-spaced defects (>2 nm), leading to a red-shifted and optically allowed (bright) lowest energy exciton. H-aggregate behavior is not observed for any defect orientations, which is beneficial for emission. The splitting between the lowest energy bright and optically forbidden (dark) excitons and the pristine excitonic band are controlled by the single-defect configurations and their axial separation. These findings enable a synthetic design strategy for SWCNTs with tunable near-infrared emission.

Antielectrophoretic Response-Driven Bending–Tilting Deformation of Cationic Polyelectrolyte Brushes Drives Nonlinear Electroosmotic Transport in Brush-Grafted Nanochannels

In this paper, we use all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to describe a non-linearly enhanced electroosmotic (EOS) flow, where, in a nanochannel grafted with cationic PMETAC ([Poly(2-(Methacryloyloxy)Ethyl) Trimethylammonium Chloride]) brushes, a two-fold increase in the electric field strength leads to a several-fold (more than two-fold) increase in the EOS flow strength and volume flow rate. The electric field enforces the PMETAC brushes to undergo a bending-tilting driven deformation with a significant portion of the brush layer becoming parallel to the grafting surface. In response, a substantial fraction of the counterions leave the brush layer (hence become more mobile), but instead of going into the bulk, accumulate at the brush-bulk interface, i.e., stay in proximity of the brush segments aligned parallel to the grafting surface. This creates an interesting situation, where the counterions are not completely within the brush layer, yet they fully screen the brush charges. Such “freer” conditions enable the counterions to achieve very high velocity, thereby ensuring that the water solvating the counterions themselves move very fast triggering the significantly augmented EOS transport. Probing deeper we can identify that the bending-tilting driven brush deformation, enforcing the brushes to align parallel to the substrate, results from the anti-electrophoretic behavior of the brushes, where despite being positively charged, the brushes move against the electric field direction. Such an anti-electrophoretic behavior of the PE brushes, which has not been reported before, can be associated with the very fast velocities of the negatively charged counterions and the electrostatic and hydrodynamic coupling of the counterions with the positive functional groups of the brushes. Here, we anticipate that the findings of this paper will shed light on strategies for nanochannel flow, the anti-electrophoretic response of charged polymer chains, and the significance of capturing the detailed chemical architecture of polyelectrolytes in nanoscale science and engineering.

Mechanochemical in Situ Encapsulation of Palladium in Covalent Organic Frameworks

Palladium-encapsulated covalent organic frameworks (Pd/COFs) have garnered enormous attention in heterogeneous catalysis. However, the dominant ex situ encapsulation synthesis is tedious (multistep), time-consuming (typically 4 days or more), and involves the use of noxious solvents. Here we develop a mechanochemical in situ encapsulation strategy that enables the one-step, time-efficient, and environmentally benign synthesis of Pd/COFs. By ball milling COF precursors along with palladium acetate (Pd(OAc) 2 ) in one pot under air at room temperature, Pd/COF hybrids were readily synthesized within an hour, exhibiting high crystallinity, uniform Pd dispersion, and superb scalability up to gram scale. Moreover, this versatile strategy can be extended to the synthesis of three Pd/COFs. Remarkably, the resulting Pd/DMTP-TPB showcases extraordinary activity (96-99% yield in 1 h at room temperature) and broad substrate scope (>10 functionalized biaryls) for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction of aryl bromides and arylboronic acids. Furthermore, the heterogeneity of Pd/DMTP-TPB is verified by recycling and leaching tests. Finally, the mechanochemical in situ encapsulation strategy disclosed herein paves a facile, rapid, scalable, and environmentally benign avenue to access metal/COF catalysts for efficient heterogeneous catalysis.

Transuranium Sulfide via the Boron Chalcogen Mixture Method and Reversible Water Uptake in the NaCu T S 3 Family

The behavior of 5f electrons in soft ligand environments makes actinides, and especially transuranium chalcogenides, an intriguing class of materials for fundamental studies. Due to the affinity of actinides for oxygen, however, it is a challenge to synthesize actinide chalcogenides using non-metallic reagents. Using the Boron Chalcogen Mixture (BCM) method, we achieved the synthesis of the transuranium sulfide NaCuNpS 3 starting from the oxide reagent, NpO 2 . Via the same synthetic route, the isostructural composition of NaCuUS 3 was synthesized and the material contrasted with NaCuNpS 3 . Single crystals of the U-analog, NaCuUS 3 , were found to undergo an unexpected reversible hydration process to form NaCuUS 3 ·xH 2 O (x ≈ 1.5). Here, a large combination of techniques was used to fully characterize the structure, hydration process, and electronic structures, specifically a combination of single crystal, powder, high temperature powder X-ray diffraction, extended X-ray ab-sorption fine structure, infrared, and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis, and density functional theory calculations. The outcome of these analyses enabled us to determine the composition of NaCuUS 3 ·xH 2 O and obtain a structural model that demonstrated the retention of the local structure within the [CuUS 3 ] – layers throughout the hydration-dehydration process. Band structure, density of states, and Bader charge calculations for NaCuUS 3 , NaCu-US 3 ·xH 2 O, and NaCuNpS 3 along with X-ray absorption near edge structure, UV-vis-NIR and work function measurements on ACuUS 3 (A = Na, K, and Rb) and NaCuUS 3 ·xH 2 O samples were carried out to demonstrate that electronic properties arise from the [CuTS 3 ] – layers and show surprisingly little dependence on the interlayer distance.

13 C ENDOR Characterization of the Central Carbon within the Nitrogenase Catalytic Cofactor Indicates That the CFe 6 Core Is a Stabilizing “Heart of Steel”

Substrates and inhibitors of Mo-dependent nitrogenase bind and react at Fe ions of the active-site FeMo-cofactor [7Fe–9S–C–Mo–homocitrate] contained within the MoFe protein α-subunit. The cofactor contains a CFe 6 core, a carbon centered within a trigonal prism of six Fe, whose role in catalysis is unknown. Targeted 13 C labeling of the carbon enables electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy to sensitively monitor the electronic properties of the Fe–C bonds and the spin-coupling scheme adopted by the FeMo-cofactor metal ions. Here this report compares 13 CFe 6 ENDOR measurements for (i) the wild-type protein resting state (E 0 ; α-Val 70 ) to those of (ii) α-Ile 70 , (iii) α-Ala 70 -substituted proteins; (iv) crystallographically characterized CO-inhibited “hi-CO” state; (v) E 4 (4H) Janus intermediate, activated for N 2 binding/reduction by accumulation of 4[ e– /H + ]; (vi) E 4 (2H)* state containing a doubly reduced FeMo-cofactor without Fe-bound substrates; and (vii) propargyl alcohol reduction intermediate having allyl alcohol bound as a ferracycle to FeMo-cofactor Fe6. All states examined, both S = 1/2 and 3/2 exhibited near-zero 13 C isotropic hyperfine coupling constants, $^Ca$ = [-1.3 ↔ +2.7] MHz. Density functional theory computations and natural bond orbital analysis of the Fe-C bonds show that this occurs because a (3 spin-up/3 spin-down) spin-exchange configuration of CFe 6 Fe-ion spins produces cancellation of large spin-transfers to carbon in each Fe–C bond. Previous X-ray diffraction and DFT both indicate that trigonal-prismatic geometry around carbon is maintained with high precision in all these states. The persistent structure and Fe–C bonding of the CFe 6 core indicate that it does not provide a functionally dynamic (hemilabile) “beating heart”-instead it acts as “a heart of steel”, stabilizing the structure of the FeMo-cofactor-active site during nitrogenase catalysis.

Sugar phosphate activation of the stress sensor eIF2B

The multi-subunit translation initiation factor eIF2B is a control node for protein synthesis. eIF2B activity is canonically modulated through stress-responsive phosphorylation of its substrate eIF2. The eIF2B regulatory subcomplex is evolutionarily related to sugar-metabolizing enzymes, but the biological relevance of this relationship was unknown. To identify natural ligands that might regulate eIF2B, we conduct unbiased binding- and activity-based screens followed by structural studies. We find that sugar phosphates occupy the ancestral catalytic site in the eIF2Bα subunit, promote eIF2B holoenzyme formation and enhance enzymatic activity towards eIF2. A mutant in the eIF2Bα ligand pocket that causes Vanishing White Matter disease fails to engage and is not stimulated by sugar phosphates. These data underscore the importance of allosteric metabolite modulation for proper eIF2B function. We propose that eIF2B evolved to couple nutrient status via sugar phosphate sensing with the rate of protein synthesis, one of the most energetically costly cellular processes.

A new approach for simulating inhomogeneous chemical kinetics

Abstract In this paper, inhomogeneous chemical kinetics are simulated by describing the concentrations of interacting chemical species by a linear expansion of basis functions in such a manner that the coupled reaction and diffusion processes are propagated through time efficiently by tailor-made numerical methods. The approach is illustrated through modelling $$\alpha$$ α - and $$\gamma$$ γ -radiolysis in thin layers of water and at their solid interfaces from the start of the chemical phase until equilibrium was established. The method’s efficiency is such that hundreds of such systems can be modelled in a few hours using a single core of a typical laptop, allowing the investigation of the effects of the underlying parameter space. Illustrative calculations showing the effects of changing dose-rate and water-layer thickness are presented. Other simulations are presented which show the approach’s capability to solve problems with spherical symmetry (an approximation to an isolated radiolytic spur), where the hollowing out of an initial Gaussian distribution is observed, in line with previous calculations. These illustrative simulations show the generality and the computational efficiency of this approach to solving reaction-diffusion problems. Furthermore, these example simulations illustrate the method’s suitability for simulating solid-fluid interfaces, which have received a lot of experimental attention in contrast to the lack of computational studies.

Disruption of electrostatic contacts in the HNH nuclease from a thermophilic Cas9 rewires allosteric motions and enhances high-temperature DNA cleavage

Allosteric signaling within multidomain proteins is a driver of communication between spatially distant functional sites. Understanding the mechanism of allosteric coupling in large multidomain proteins is the most promising route to achieving spatial and temporal control of the system. The recent explosion of CRISPR-Cas9 applications in molecular biology and medicine has created a need to understand how the atomic level protein dynamics of Cas9, which are the driving force of its allosteric crosstalk, influence its biophysical characteristics. In this study, we used a synergistic approach of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and computation to pinpoint an allosteric hotspot in the HNH domain of the thermostable GeoCas9. We show that mutation of K597 to alanine disrupts a salt-bridge network, which in turn alters the structure, the timescale of allosteric motions, and the thermostability of the GeoHNH domain. This homologous lysine-to-alanine mutation in the extensively studied mesophilic S. pyogenes Cas9 similarly alters the dynamics of the SpHNH domain. We have previously demonstrated that the alteration of allostery via mutations is a source for the specificity enhancement of SpCas9 (eSpCas9). Hence, this may also be true in GeoCas9.

New reactions of diazene and related species for modelling combustion of amine fuels

Potential energy surfaces for reactions involving N 2 H 2 isomers of diazene (diimide) have been explored using density functional theory, with energies based on coupled-cluster theory. A focus is on processes that create or consume these species, and isomerisation between the E (trans) and Z (cis) forms of HNNH. Furthermore, these include isomerisation and dissociation pathways for HNNH, addition of H atoms to form N 2 H 3 , abstraction by H atoms yielding short-lived NNH, and abstraction reactions of H with N 2 H 3 . Transition state and capture theories are applied for high-pressure-limiting behaviour, while low-pressure and falloff regions are characterised via the methods of Troe and coworkers. Rate constants and thermochemistry are provided to improve models of diamine chemistry, relevant to the combustion of NH 3 especially at high concentrations, high pressures or under reducing conditions. Results indicate that amine radical recombination mainly yields the E HNNH isomer, while H-abstraction from N 2 H 3 results in E HNNH and H 2 NN. However, at elevated temperature E → Z isomerisation becomes competitive, and Z HNNH, being more reactive, acts to enhance the diazene consumption rate.

The impact of anisotropic redshift distributions on angular clustering

A leading way to constrain physical theories from cosmological observations is to test their predictions for the angular clustering statistics of matter tracers, a technique that is set to become ever more central with the next generation of large imaging surveys. Interpretation of this clustering requires knowledge of the projection kernel, or the redshift distribution of the sources, and the typical assumption is an isotropic redshift distribution for the objects. However, variations in the kernel are expected across the survey footprint due to photometric variations and residual observational systematic effects. Here, we develop the formalism for anisotropic projection and present several limiting cases that elucidate the key aspects. We quantify the impact of anisotropies in the redshift distribution on a general class of angular two-point statistics. In particular, we identify a mode-coupling effect that can add power to auto-correlations, including galaxy clustering and cosmic shear, and remove it from certain cross-correlations. If the projection anisotropy is primarily at large scales, the mode-coupling depends upon its variance as a function of redshift; furthermore, it is often of similar shape to the signal. In contrast, the cross-correlation of a field whose selection function is anisotropic with another one featuring no such variations — such as CMB lensing — is immune to these effects. We discuss explicitly several special cases of the general formalism including galaxy clustering, galaxy-galaxy lensing, cosmic shear and cross-correlations with CMB lensing, and publicly release a code to compute the biases.

Modified gravity constraints from the full shape modeling of clustering measurements from DESI 2024

We present cosmological constraints on deviations from general relativity (GR) from the first-year of clustering observations from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) in combination with other available datasets including the CMB data from Planck with CMB-lensing from Planck and ACT, BBN constraints on the physical baryon density, the galaxy weak lensing and clustering from DESY3 and supernova data from DESY5. We first consider the μ(a,k)–Σ(a,k) modified gravity (MG) parameterization (as well as η(a,k)) in a ΛCDM and a w 0 w a CDM cosmological backgrounds. Using a functional form for time-only evolution gives μ 0 = 0.11 +0.44 -0.54 from DESI(FS+BAO)+BBN and a wide prior on n s . Using DESI(FS+BAO)+CMB+DESY3+DESY5-SN, we obtain μ 0 = 0.05 ± 0.22 and Σ 0 = 0.008 ± 0.045 and similarly μ 0 = 0.02 +0.19 -0.24 and η 0 = 0.09 +0.36 -0.60 , in an ΛCDM background. In w 0 w a CDM we obtain μ 0 = -0.24 +0.32 -0.28 and Σ 0 = 0.006 ± 0.043, consistent with GR, and we still find a preference of the data for a dynamical dark energy with w 0 > -1 and w a < 0. Using functional dependencies in both time and scale gives μ 0 and Σ 0 with a same level of precision as above but other scale MG parameters remain hard to constrain. We then move to binned parameterizations in a ΛCDM background starting with two bins in redshift and obtain, μ 1 = 1.02 ± 0.13, μ 2 = 1.04 ± 0.11, Σ 1 = 1.021 ± 0.029 and Σ 2 = 1.022 +0.027 -0.023 , all consistent with the unity value of GR in the binning formalism. We then extend the analysis to combine two bins in redshift and two in scale giving 8 MG parameters that we find all consistent with GR. We note that we find here that the tension reported in previous studies about Σ 0 being inconsistent with GR when using Planck PR3 data goes away when we use the recent LoLLiPoP+HiLLiPoP likelihoods. As noted in previous studies, this seems to indicate that the tension is indeed related to the CMB lensing anomaly in PR3 which is also resolved when using the recent likelihoods. We then constrain the class of Horndeski theory in the effective field theory of dark energy approach. We consider both EFT-basis and α-basis in the analysis. Assuming a power law parameterization for the EFT function Ω, which controls non-minimal coupling, we obtain Ω 0 = 0.012 +0.001 -0.012 and s 0 = 0.996 +0.54 -0.20 from the combination of DESI(FS+BAO)+DESY5SN+CMB in a ΛCDM background, which are consistent with GR. Similar results are obtained when using the α-basis and assuming no-braiding (α B = 0) giving c M < 1.14 at 95% CL in a ΛCDM background, also in agreement with GR. However, we see a mild yet consistent indication for c B > 0 when α B is allowed to vary which will require further study to determine whether this is due to systematics or new physics.
