Three-Dimensional Modeling of the Explicit Chemistry of Organic Aerosols: Formation, Removal, and Comparison with Observations

The major goals of the project were to further our understanding of the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) from major anthropogenic and biogenic precursors, and to evaluate the GECKO-A chemistry model in the context of three DOE-led field campaigns (GoAmazon, BBOP, and HI-SCALE) with the long-term objective of improving the treatment of organic gases and particles in three-dimensional regional and global models. The three field campaigns were selected to evaluate and improve specific aspects of GECKO-A: (i) GoAmazon to help quantify interactions of biogenic and anthropogenic emissions; (ii) BBOP to predict the UV-visible absorption properties of biomass burning aerosols (brown carbon) from explicit molecular properties; and (iii) HI-SCALE to evaluate new model components that include aqueous (cloud) processing of organic gases and aerosols.

Controlled dehumidification to extract clean water from a multicomponent gaseous mixture of organic contaminants

Rapid expansion of the unconventional oil and gas extraction has increased American energy independence, but also led to increased production of large amounts of contaminated water. Wastewater from the oil and gas industry contains a wide range of contaminants. Injecting such contaminated water into disposal wells or discharging it to the environment jeopardizes freshwater resources. Conventional and membrane-based wastewater treatment techniques are often not effective choices to treat highly contaminated wastewater; however, a suitable way to remove contaminants from wastewater is to selectively separate water in a process analogous to humidification-dehumidification (HDH). Only a few studies have investigated the use of HDH for wastewater treatment. In this study, a novel HDH system is introduced for treating highly contaminated water, such as oil and gas flowback and produced water. In this HDH process, a non-condensable gas, such as air, mixes with wastewater vapor to facilitate the separation of contaminants. As a result, clean water condenses from the multicomponent gaseous mixture while air carries organic contaminants out of the dehumidification section. A laboratory apparatus was constructed and experiments were performed to investigate the HDH process for wastewater treatment and to study the effects of flow dynamics including air flow rate on the composition of treated water. Different contaminants including benzene, toluene, 2-propanol and 2-butoxyethanol were tested. Experimental results showed that the system can be successfully applied for removing volatile and/or toxic organic contaminants from wastewater. A representative multicomponent mixture of fracking wastewater was successfully treated using the experimental setup and clean water with quality of 98.3% was obtained. It was revealed that increasing the air-to-vapor mass ratio improves purity of treated water. Quantitative analysis showed that by increasing the air-to-vapor mass ratio from 0.6 to 5.9, the fraction of separated 2-propanol through the air was improved from 43% to more than 96% of the initial amount. ASPEN software was employed to simulate equilibrium conditions. Finally, experimental results were observed to have lower mass fraction of residual contaminant in the treated water compared to equilibrium state.

Evaluation of Technologies for Destruction of LDR Organics in Hanford Tank Waste

Aqueous Hanford tank wastes contain soluble organics and some tanks contain small amounts (<100 mg/L) of organics that are regulated under the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) portions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Most of these organics can be removed by evaporation, but some are not. Methods to destroy/remove organics that are regulated by the LDR section of the RCRA and that are not removed by evaporation may be needed if ambient temperature waste treatment processes are used to immobilize aqueous Hanford tank wastes. To identify viable and compatible organic removal or destruction pretreatment methods an evaluation was performed by a team of researchers. The team utilized a Systems Engineering Approach that examines all aspects of the technology, based on information available in the literature and the experience of the team members. That evaluation led to recommendations by the team to perform testing on technologies to determine efficacy in destroying organics in Hanford tank waste liquids. The primary technologies recommended are chemical oxidants, including permanganate, peroxymonosulfate or peroxydisulfate (PMS/PDS), hydrogen peroxide, and ozone. Ultraviolet light irradiation of the stream with a solid catalyst sorbent is also recommended for testing. A generalized description of the test program is also included.

Leptothrix ochracea genomes reveal potential for mixotrophic growth on Fe(II) and organic carbon

ABSTRACT Leptothrix ochracea creates distinctive iron-mineralized mats that carpet streams and wetlands. Easily recognized by its iron-mineralized sheaths, L. ochracea was one of the first microorganisms described in the 1800s. Yet it has never been isolated and does not have a complete genome sequence available, so key questions about its physiology remain unresolved. It is debated whether iron oxidation can be used for energy or growth and if L. ochracea is an autotroph, heterotroph, or mixotroph. To address these issues, we sampled L. ochracea -rich mats from three of its typical environments (a stream, wetlands, and a drainage channel) and reconstructed nine high-quality genomes of L. ochracea from metagenomes. These genomes contain iron oxidase genes cyc2 and mtoA, showing that L. ochracea has the potential to conserve energy from iron oxidation. Sox genes confer potential to oxidize sulfur for energy. There are genes for both carbon fixation (RuBisCO) and utilization of sugars and organic acids (acetate, lactate, and formate). In silico stoichiometric metabolic models further demonstrated the potential for growth using sugars and organic acids. Metatranscriptomes showed a high expression of genes for iron oxidation; aerobic respiration; and utilization of lactate, acetate, and sugars, as well as RuBisCO, supporting mixotrophic growth in the environment. In summary, our results suggest that L. ochracea has substantial metabolic flexibility. It is adapted to iron-rich, organic carbon-containing wetland niches, where it can thrive as a mixotrophic iron oxidizer by utilizing both iron oxidation and organics for energy generation and both inorganic and organic carbon for cell and sheath production. IMPORTANCE Winogradsky's observations of L. ochracea led him to propose autotrophic iron oxidation as a new microbial metabolism, following his work on autotrophic sulfur-oxidizers. While much culture-based research has ensued, isolation proved elusive, so most work on L. ochracea has been based in the environment and in microcosms. Meanwhile, the autotrophic Gallionella became the model for freshwater microbial iron oxidation, while heterotrophic and mixotrophic iron oxidation is not well-studied. Ecological studies have shown that Leptothrix overtakes Gallionella when dissolved organic carbon content increases, demonstrating distinct niches. This study presents the first near-complete genomes of L. ochracea , which share some features with autotrophic iron oxidizers, while also incorporating heterotrophic metabolisms. These genome, metabolic modeling, and transcriptome results give us a detailed metabolic picture of how the organism may combine lithoautotrophy with organoheterotrophy to promote Fe oxidation and C cycling and drive many biogeochemical processes resulting from microbial growth and iron oxyhydroxide formation in wetlands.

Deactivating Emission in Azulene via Solvent-Induced (Anti)Aromaticity

Anti-Kasha emission is a coveted feature in optoelectronics, with promise in areas such as imaging, sensing, and the production of white-light LEDs via dual-photon emission. Despite being a rare feature in organic systems, anti-Kasha emission is readily observed in the deceptively simple molecule azulene, which possesses two bright singlet states in the UV–visible spectrum and readily emits from the S 2 state. With dominant anti-Kasha emission and decades of synthetic study, azulene is a perfect candidate for novel material fabrication; however, large gaps persist in understanding the photophysics of even the simple parent compound. These range from competing, experimentally unverified models of azulene reactivity and aromaticity to the unexplained deactivation of anti-Kasha emission in a host of azulene derivatives. Herein, we use fluorescence and transient absorption spectroscopies to explore the detailed solvent dependence of azulene photophysics. We discover a tunable reduction in the S 2 lifetime via weak complexation with aromatic solvents. Interestingly, our results are independent of polarity, highlighting the primacy of peripherally delocalized 10-π Hückel aromaticity over zwitterionic character. When the dipolar character is enhanced through chemical functionalization, we observe even greater sensitivity to solvent aromaticity and more rapid quenching, revealing the role of conical intersections in azulenes with zwitterionic excited states. Overall, this work provides essential mechanistic insight into the photophysics of azulene and reveals a simple new approach to control the excited-state aromaticity and anti-Kasha emission in this class of materials.

Integrating Tide‐Driven Wetland Soil Redox and Biogeochemical Interactions Into a Land Surface Model

Abstract Redox processes, aqueous and solid‐phase chemistry, and pH dynamics are key drivers of subsurface biogeochemical cycling and methanogenesis in terrestrial and wetland ecosystems but are typically not included in terrestrial carbon cycle models. These omissions may introduce errors when simulating systems where redox interactions and pH fluctuations are important, such as wetlands where saturation of soils can produce anoxic conditions and coastal systems where sulfate inputs from seawater can influence biogeochemistry. Integrating cycling of redox‐sensitive elements could therefore allow models to better represent key elements of carbon cycling and greenhouse gas production. We describe a model framework that couples the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) Land Model (ELM) with PFLOTRAN biogeochemistry, allowing geochemical processes and redox interactions to be integrated with land surface model simulations. We implemented a reaction network including aerobic decomposition, fermentation, sulfate reduction, sulfide oxidation, methanogenesis, and methanotrophy as well as pH dynamics along with iron oxide and iron sulfide mineral precipitation and dissolution. We simulated biogeochemical cycling in tidal wetlands subject to either saltwater or freshwater inputs driven by tidal hydrological dynamics. In simulations with saltwater tidal inputs, sulfate reduction led to accumulation of sulfide, higher dissolved inorganic carbon concentrations, lower dissolved organic carbon concentrations, and lower methane emissions than simulations with freshwater tidal inputs. Model simulations compared well with measured porewater concentrations and surface gas emissions from coastal wetlands in the Northeastern United States. These results demonstrate how simulating geochemical reaction networks can improve land surface model simulations of subsurface biogeochemistry and carbon cycling.

Enhanced Recovery Opportunities in the Appalachian Basin

The Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP) has incorporated the work of geologic research teams (Geoteams) in its regional characterization, project planning and carbon dioxide (CO2) injection implementation work since the partnership was established by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in 2003. Over this 16-year period, the cohort of Geoteams has grown from five to ten states and has contributed to the characterization of geologic sequestration opportunities, refinement of reservoir and seal data, and supported injection efforts through both predictive and post-injection assessments. The Appalachian Basin Geoteam consists of geologists from the state geological surveys of Kentucky, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Pennsylvania and West Virginia led the research related to enhanced recovery opportunities in oil and gas fields, while Kentucky led the work associated with enhanced gas recovery (EGR) opportunities in organic-rich shales. The Appalachian Basin Geoteam evaluated reservoirs amenable to CO2-EOR and EGR using a combination of data sources and technical approaches. The Geoteam characterized the subsurface geology of the area in stepwise fashion, starting with existing geologic maps and fields/pools data generated as part of previous MRCSP regional characterization research. With this data, the Geoteam correlated stratigraphy and generated cross sections to delineate the extent, depths and thicknesses of those formations that may serve as reservoirs for either miscible or immiscible enhanced recovery projects. In addition, the team prepared structure and isopach maps for prospective formations, as well as assessments of gross and net porosity of these units. Once prospective localities were identified, the Geoteam selected a short list of oil fields in each of the three states for assessment for case study preparation.

Metal–Organic Frameworks for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Treatment in Contaminated Water

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic pollutants known for their chemical stability, environmental persistence, and toxicological risks. Their widespread use has led to extensive contamination, particularly in aquatic systems. Conventional treatment methods often face challenges such as high energy consumption and the production of secondary pollutants. Metal− organic frameworks (MOFs), with their high surface areas and tunable structures, have emerged as promising materials for PFAS remediation. This review summarizes recent progress in MOF-based PFAS adsorption and degradation, highlighting key frameworks such as MIL, UiO, and ZIF. Mechanistic insights into adsorption behavior and regeneration capabilities are discussed, along with the catalytic performance of MOF composites and postmodified systems in degradation pathways. The review concludes with design strategies for next-generation MOF materials aimed at efficient, sustainable PFAS removal under realistic conditions.

Fully Transparent GaN Homojunction Tunnel Junction-Enabled Cascaded Blue LEDs.

A sidewall activation process was optimized for buried magnesium-doped p-GaN layers yielding a significant reduction in tunnel junction-enabled light emitting diode (LED) forward voltage. This buried activation enabled the realization of cascaded blue LEDs with fully transparent GaN homojunction tunnel junctions. The initial optimization of buried p-GaN activation was performed on PN junctions grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) buried under hybrid tunnel junctions grown by MOCVD and molecular beam epitaxy. Next the activation process was implemented in cascaded blue LEDs emitting at 450 nm, which were enabled by fully transparent GaN homojunction tunnel junctions. The tunnel junction-enabled multi-active region blue LEDs were grown monolithically by MOCVD. This work demonstrates a state-of-the-art tunnel junction-enabled cascaded LED utilizing homojunction tunnel junctions which do not contain any heterojunction interface.

Natural transformation as a tool in Acinetobacter baylyi : Streamlined engineering and mutational analysis

Natural transformation and homologous recombination in a soil bacterium, Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1, occur with exceptionally high efficiency. These genetic features can be harnessed to address a wide variety of fundamental and applied scientific topics. Recent advances in synthetic biology and laboratory evolution have led to renewed appreciation for the use of A. baylyi as a model organism. To complement several review articles that highlight new tool sets, this chapter focuses on simple protocols and examples of transformation assays that facilitate genetic analysis and engineering. Whole genome sequencing often reveals extensive genetic variation among closely related isolates that can confound the association of genotypic and phenotypic changes. In A. baylyi, such associations can be deciphered in unique ways by directly transforming cells with linear DNA fragments. The resulting allelic replacement, which occurs at high frequency, rapidly generates desired mutants via targeted chromosomal editing. Diverse screening and selection methods can be used to test hypotheses and streamline experimental strategies to reveal the significance of specific DNA sequences. Moreover, large procedural variations are well tolerated, and techniques can be readily adapted for new purposes. Furthermore, one goal of highlighting natural transformation methodology in A. baylyi is to expand the community of researchers using this versatile bacterial host.

Regiospecific N -alkyl substitution tunes the molecular packing of high-performance non-fullerene acceptors

The rapid development of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) with strong near-infrared absorption has led to remarkably enhanced short-circuit current density (J sc ) values in organic solar cells (OSCs). NFAs based on the benzotriazole (Bz) fused-ring π-core have great potential in delivering both high J sc and decent open-circuit voltage values due to their strong intramolecular charge transfer with reasonably low energy loss. Here in this work, we have designed and synthesized a series of Bz-based NFAs, PN6SBO-4F, AN6SBO-4F and EHN6SEH-4F, via regiospecific N-alkyl engineering based on the high-performance NFA mBzS-4F that was reported previously. The molecular packing of mBzS-4F, AN6SBO-4F, and EHN6SEH-4F single crystals was analyzed using X-ray crystallography in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the correlation between the molecular structure, the charge-transporting properties, and the solar cell performance. Compared with the typical honeycomb single-crystal structure of Y6 derivatives, these NFAs exhibit distinctly different molecular packing patterns. The strong interactions of terminal indanone groups in mBzS-4F and the J-aggregate-like packing in EHN6SEH-4F lead to the formation of ordered 3D networks in single-crystals with channels for efficient charge transport. Consequently, OSCs based on mBzS-4F and EHN6SEH-4F show efficient photon-to-current conversions, achieving the highest power conversion efficiency of 17.48% with a Jsc of 28.83 mA cm -2 .

Fusion Materials Research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Fiscal Year 2023

The materials science challenge of providing a suite of suitable materials to satisfy the technology to achieve fusion energy is addressed in this ORNL program. The inability of currently available materials and components to withstand the harsh fusion nuclear environment requires development of new materials, and an understanding of their response to the fusion environment. The overarching goal of the ORNL Fusion Materials program is to provide the applied materials science support and materials understanding to underpin the ongoing DOE Office of Science—Fusion Energy Sciences program, in parallel with developing the materials for fusion power systems. In this effort the program continues to be integrated both with the larger U.S. and international fusion materials communities and with the U.S. and international fusion design and technology communities. The excitement of this program comes from the priorities given to this subject in the two recent fusion reviews, by the FESAC and NAS committees. An important element of those recommendations is the support for pivoting the national R&D emphasis to the Fusion Materials and Technologies (FM&T), the long-advocated Fusion Prototypic Neutron Source, and for the Fusion Pilot Plant study that will help focus program direction and efforts. Furthermore, the surge of venture capital investment into the private fusion industry start-ups over the last few years is anticipated to help accelerate all aspects of the fusion energy development. This twelfth annual report of the ORNL (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) Fusion Reactor Materials Program summarizes the accomplishments in Fiscal Year 2023 (FY2023). The year was the first to return to full post-COVID-restriction operations, with students and international assignees no longer impacted by COVID restrictions, as in FY20-21-22. Following the pattern of planning used in this program, work for the year FY2023 focused on having the data and productivity to support a strong presence at the International Conference on Fusion Reactor Materials (ICFRM) 21, organized by Spain and occurred in October 2023. Twenty-nine ORNL-led abstracts were submitted, with all accepted. Four were invited presentations, nine contributed oral, fourteen posters, and two withdrawn due to unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, nine external abstracts with ORNL contributing authors were presented. These will be reported in the FY24 report next year.
