Developing Reaction Chemistry Models from Reactive Molecular Dynamics: TATB

Reactive Molecular Dynamic (RMD) are used to simulate the cook-off chemistry of TATB at a variety of fixed density and fixed temperature conditions. The chemical transformations are monitored using a Coordination Geometry Analysis (CGA) approach which tracks which atom types are bonded to each specific atom. This particularly identifies oxidation state changes that occur during the transformations. Correlations between these different chemical changes are identified using a Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) approach. These identify reduced order chemistry models for the TATB system which contains six components whose concentration profiles are a function of both the temperature and density/pressure. The time histories of these transformations appear to show exponential growth/decay properties that could be fit with Arrhenius rates. These components should form the basis of deflagration rate models for these materials which could then be used in mesoscale simulations to analyze accidental initiation, shock-to-detonation and detonation propagation.

Mapping 1D Confined Electromagnetic Edge States in 2D Monolayer Semiconducting MoS 2 Using 4D-STEM

Here, four-dimensional (4D) scanning transmission electron microscopy is used to study the electric fields at the edges of 2D semiconducting monolayer MoS2. Sub-nanometer 1D features in the 2D electric field maps are observed at the outermost region along zigzag edges and also along nanowire MoS-terminated MoS 2 edges. Atomic-scale oscillations are detected in the magnitude of the 1D electromagnetic edge state, with spatial variations that depend on the specific periodic edge reconstructions. Electric field reconstructions, along with integrated differential phase contrast reconstructions, reveal the presence of low Z number atoms terminating many of the uniform edges, which are difficult to detect by annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy due to its limited dynamic range. Density functional theory calculations support the formation of periodic 1D edge states and also show that enhancement of the electric field magnitude can occur for some edge terminations. The experimentally observed electric fields at the edges are attributed to the absence of an opposing electric field from a nearest neighbor atom when the electron beam propagates through the 2D monolayer and interacts. These results show the potential of 4D-STEM to map the atomic scale structure and fluctuations of electric fields around edge atoms with different bonding states than bulk atoms in 2D materials, beyond conventional imaging.

Single Atom Catalysts: A Review of Characterization Methods

Abstract Single atom catalysts (SACs) harbor a potential to exceed nanoparticle catalysts in terms of activity, stability and selectivity in a growing number of chemical reactions. Although their investigation is attracting significant attention, important fundamental questions focusing on key physicochemical properties of SACs (e. g., structure – property relationships, structural dynamics, reaction‐driven restructuring) remain unanswered. A main challenge for research in the field is how to reliably characterize the environments of single atoms in the presence of complicating factors such as low weight loadings, strong metal‐support interactions, and atomic and multiscale heterogeneity of bonding in the single atom sites. This review addresses this challenge – identifying catalytically relevant features of physicochemical properties of single atoms (charge state, electronic structure, atomic configuration, bonding interactions with a support) and surveying advanced tools/methods for characterizing them. The review places a strong emphasis on multimodal methods exploiting X‐ray absorption, emission and photoelectron spectroscopies, and provides several examples from the authors’ research that demonstrate their use as powerful tools for SAC characterization.

Atomic-scale insights into topotactic transformations in an extra-large-pore zeolite using time-resolved 3D electron diffraction

Understanding the atomic-scale structural dynamics of phase transformations is crucial for developing materials and tailoring their properties. However, many materials are obtained as polycrystalline powders with large unit cells and/or complex structures, making it challenging to investigate detailed structural changes using conventional X-ray diffraction techniques. Here we employ time-resolved three-dimensional electron diffraction to reveal the topotactic reactions and transformations that convert the extra-large-pore silicate zeolite ECNU-45 into ECNU-46. ECNU-45 features three-dimensional interconnecting 24 × 10 × 10-ring channels, while ECNU-46 consists of one-dimensional 24-ring channels connected to 10-ring pockets. ECNU-45 and ECNU-46 are both examples of pure silicate zeolites with pore openings larger than 22-ring. Our findings indicate changes at six distinct tetrahedral silicon sites, involving atom displacement, addition and removal of framework atoms through bond breakage and formation. This work presents the synthesis of zeolites and also provides atomic-level insights into the dynamic processes of topotactic reactions. Our results have implications for advancing materials engineering and understanding complex solid-state reactions at an atomic scale.

Chlorination of Hydrogenated Silicon Nanosheets Revealed by Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

We report two-dimensional silicon nanosheets (Si-NS) synthesized by topotactic deintercalation of CaSi 2 are hypothesized to consist of buckled layers of sp 3 -hybridized silicon atoms that are bonded to three other framework Si atoms and a terminal atom or functional group such as H, Cl, or OH. Here, we apply 1 H{ 35 Cl} and 29 Si{ 35 Cl} Resonance-Echo Saturation-Pulse DOuble-Resonance (RESPDOR) solid-state NMR experiments to directly confirm the presence of chlorinated Si atoms within Si-NS. Plotting the 1 H{ 35 Cl} RESPDOR dephasing as a function of the 35 Cl saturation pulse offset reveals that the 35 Cl quadrupolar coupling constant (C Q ) is 38 MHz, consistent with Cl atoms that are covalently bonded to silicon. Modeling the 1 H{ 35 Cl} RESPDOR dephasing curve shows that the Si–Si interlayer spacing is approximately 6 Å. Plane-wave density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the direct band gap transition of the Si-NS decreases with increasing chlorination and hydroxylation, suggesting that the band gap of Si-NS can be tuned by modifying the terminal atoms or functional groups.
