Sintered Cathodes for All-Solid-State Structural Lithium-Ion Batteries

All-solid-state structural lithium ion batteries serve as both structural load-bearing components and as electrical energy storage devices to achieve system level weight savings in aerospace and other transportation applications. This multifunctional design goal is critical for the realization of next generation hybrid or all-electric propulsion systems. Additionally, transitioning to solid state technology improves upon battery safety from previous volatile architectures. This research established baseline solid state processing conditions and performance benchmarks for intercalation-type layered oxide materials for multifunctional application. Under consideration were lithium cobalt oxide and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide. Pertinent characteristics such as electrical conductivity, strength, chemical stability, and microstructure were characterized for future application in all-solid-state structural battery cathodes. The study includes characterization by XRD, ICP, SEM, ring-on-ring mechanical testing, and electrical impedance spectroscopy to elucidate optimal processing parameters, material characteristics, and multifunctional performance benchmarks. These findings provide initial conditions for implementing existing cathode materials in load bearing applications.

Ligand effects on electronic structure and bonding in U(iii) coordination complexes: a combined MCD, EPR and computational study

The trivalent oxidation state of uranium has been shown to undergo unique reactivity, from its ability to activate a variety of small molecules to its role in the catalytic reduction of ethene to ethane amongst others. Central to this unique reactivity and ability to rationally design ligands for isotope separation is the underlying uranium electronic structure. While electronic structure studies of U(IV), U(V), and U(VI) have been extensive, by comparison, analogous studies of more reduced oxidation states such as U(III) remains underdeveloped. Herein we report a combined MCD and EPR spectroscopic approach along with density functional theory and multireference wavefunction calculations to elucidate the effects of ligand perturbation in three uranium(III) Tp* complexes. Overall, the experimental and computational insight suggests that the change in ligand environment across this series of U(III) complexes resulted in only minor perturbations in the uranium electronic structure. This combined approach was also used to redefine the electronic ground state of a U(III) complex with a redox non-innocent Bipy - ligand. Overall, these studies demonstrate the efficacy of the combined experimental and theoretical approach towards evaluating electronic structure and bonding in U(III) complexes and provide important insight into the challenges in altering ligand environments to modify bonding and reactivity in uranium coordination chemistry.

Single-crystal NMC622 from combustion-assisted solid-state synthesis: Tunable particle size, voltage-dependent stability, and Li-ion diffusion

Cost-effective and scalable synthesis of single-crystal lithium–metal-oxide cathodes with controlled size and morphology remains challenging for advancing high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Here, we demonstrate a solution combustion–assisted solid-state method for producing single-crystal NMC622 with tunable particle size at various lithium stoichiometries. Structural and electronic characteristics were probed using synchrotron-XANES, EXAFS, XRD and XPS, confirming well-defined coordination environments and phase purity up to Li ≈ 1.3. The electrochemical behavior of LixNMC (x = 1.0 and 1.3) single crystals was evaluated across 2.8–4.3 V and 2.8–4.7 V windows to elucidate the effects of lithium content and operating voltage. At 2.8–4.3V, Li1.3NMC exhibits higher initial capacity due to its larger lithium inventory, while Li1.0NMC shows superior long-term retention driven by its larger crystal size and reduced structural distortion. Increasing the cutoff voltage to 4.7 V enhances the initial capacity of both compositions by 17–25%, but long-term capacity retention ultimately converges to values comparable to those at 4.3 V due to voltage-induced degradation, where Li+ diffusion constant remains lying ranging from 10−12 –10−11 cm2s−1. Overall, this study establishes a scalable combustion-assisted route for synthesizing tunable single-crystal NMC622 and highlights the interplay between lithium stoichiometry, particle size, and voltage window in governing cathode stability.

Discovery of amivantamab (JNJ-61186372), a bispecific antibody targeting EGFR and MET

A bispecific antibody (BsAb) targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and mesenchymal–epithelial transition factor (MET) pathways represents a novel approach to overcome resistance to targeted therapies in patients with non–small cell lung cancer. In this study, we sequentially screened a panel of BsAbs in a combinatorial approach to select the optimal bispecific molecule. The BsAbs were derived from different EGFR and MET parental monoclonal antibodies. Initially, molecules were screened for EGFR and MET binding on tumor cell lines and lack of agonistic activity toward MET. Hits were identified and further screened based on their potential to induce untoward cell proliferation and cross-phosphorylation of EGFR by MET via receptor colocalization in the absence of ligand. After the final step, we selected the EGFR and MET arms for the lead BsAb and added low fucose Fc engineering to generate amivantamab (JNJ-61186372). The crystal structure of the anti-MET Fab of amivantamab bound to MET was solved, and the interaction between the two molecules in atomic details was elucidated. Amivantamab antagonized the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-induced signaling by binding to MET Sema domain and thereby blocking HGF β-chain—Sema engagement. The amivantamab EGFR epitope was mapped to EGFR domain III and residues K443, K465, I467, and S468. Furthermore, amivantamab showed superior antitumor activity over small molecule EGFR and MET inhibitors in the HCC827-HGF in vivo model. Based on its unique mode of action, amivantamab may provide benefit to patients with malignancies associated with aberrant EGFR and MET signaling.

Elucidating the Role of Electric Fields in Fe Oxidation via an Environmental Atom Probe

Abstract We quantify the effects of intensely applied electric fields on the Fe oxidation mechanism. The specimen are pristine Fe single crystals exposing a variety of surface structures identified by field ion microscopy. These crystals are simultaneously exposed to low pressures of pure oxygen gas, on the order of 10 −7 mbar, while applying intense electric fields on their surface of several tens of volts per nanometer. The local composition of the different surface structures is probed directly and in real time using an Environmental Atom Probe and successfully compared with first principles‐based models. We found that rough Fe{244} and Fe{112} facets are more reactive toward oxygen than compact Fe{024} and Fe{011} facets. Results demonstrate that the influence of an electric field on the oxidation kinetics depends on the timescales that are involved as the system evolves toward equilibrium. The initial oxidation kinetics show that strong increases in electric fields facilitate the formation of an oxide. However, as one approaches equilibrium, high field values mitigate this formation. Ultimately, this study elucidates how high externally applied electric fields can be used to dynamically exploit reaction dynamics at the nanoscale towards desired products in a catalytic reaction at mild reaction conditions.

Statistically elucidated responses from low-signal contrast mechanisms in ultrafast electron microscopy

The emergence of ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) has enabled the discovery of strongly correlated dynamic mechanisms, including electron–phonon coupling, structural phase transitions, thermal transport, and electromagnetic deflection. Most UEM systems operate stroboscopically, meaning that the technique is susceptible to artifacts, mistakes, and misinterpretation of the data due to extensive experimental effort. In contrast to the ultrafast designation, data acquisition is extraordinarily slow because the electron beam has significantly reduced signal compared to traditional transmission electron microscopy due to pulsing the electron beam. Consequently, the sample may drift, tilt, or undergo irreversible structural changes that are independent of the time-resolved dynamics throughout the experimental time frame. Furthermore, these datasets require significant user interpretation that can be problematic when proper controls are not implemented thoroughly. Here, we demonstrate a new algorithm designed to separate ultrafast structural dynamics from long-term artifacts using a LiNbO 3 sample experiencing electrically driven surface acoustic wave propagation. Additionally, we provide examples of the impact of user bias when analyzing the data and provide a methodology, which enables the extraction of time-resolved responses when the image signal is extraordinarily low. Overall, the goal of this publication is to provide methods that validate the experimental results and reduce researcher biases during UEM data interpretation.

Topography of Fermi arcs in 𝑡−PtBi 2 using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy

Here, we use high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the electronic structure of trigonal phase PtBi 2 (𝑡 −PtBi 2 ), a proposed Weyl semimetal that is expected to exhibit topological Fermi arcs. Our ARPES data elucidates the topography of these objects and confirms their Fermi arc character. The arcs are formed by surface bands that have fairly flat bottoms located very close to the chemical potential ∼ 6–8 meV, before they merge with bulk bands at higher binding energy. Comparison of the ARPES data with DFT calculations shows good agreement about their location and topography. Data acquired at low temperatures does not show any signatures of superconductivity down to 3 K in terms of expected changes in dispersion due to formation of Bogoliubov quasiparticles or superconducting gap in the form of reliable shifts of peaks in energy distribution curves.

Analytical Solution and Physics of a Propellant Damping Device

NASA design teams have been investigating options for "detuning" Ares I to prevent oscillations originating in the vehicle solid-rocket main stage from synching up with the natural resonance of the rest of the vehicle. An experimental work started at NASA MSFC center in 2008 using a damping device showed great promise in damping the vibration level of an 8 resonant tank. However, the mechanisms of the vibration damping were not well understood and there were many unknowns such as the physics, scalability, technology readiness level (TRL), and applicability for the Ares I vehicle. The objectives of this study are to understand the physics of intriguing slosh damping observed in the experiments, to further validate a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software in propellant sloshing against experiments with water, and to study the applicability and efficiency of the slosh damper to a full scale propellant tank and to cryogenic fluids. First a 2D fluid-structure interaction model is built to model the system resonance of liquid sloshing and structure vibration. A damper is then added into the above model to simulate experimentally observed system damping phenomena. Qualitative agreement is found. An analytical solution is then derived from the Newtonian dynamics for the thrust oscillation damper frequency, and a slave mass concept is introduced in deriving the damper and tank interaction dynamics. The paper will elucidate the fundamental physics behind the LOX damper success from the derivation of the above analytical equation of the lumped Newtonian dynamics. Discussion of simulation results using high fidelity multi-phase, multi-physics, fully coupled CFD structure interaction model will show why the LOX damper is unique and superior compared to other proposed mitigation techniques.

Assessing and Promoting Functional Resilience in Flight Crews During Exploration Missions

NASA plans to send humans to Mars in about 20 years. The NASA Human Research Program supports research to mitigate the major risks to human health and performance on extended missions. However, there will undoubtedly be unforeseen events on any mission of this nature - thus mitigation of known risks alone is not sufficient to ensure optimal crew health and performance. Research should be directed not only to mitigating known risks, but also to providing crews with the tools to assess and enhance resilience, as a group and individually. We can draw on ideas from complexity theory and network theory to assess crew and individual resilience. The entire crew or the individual crewmember can be viewed as a complex system that is composed of subsystems (individual crewmembers or physiological subsystems), and the interactions between subsystems are of crucial importance for overall health and performance. An understanding of the structure of the interactions can provide important information even in the absence of complete information on the component subsystems. This is critical in human spaceflight, since insufficient flight opportunities exist to elucidate the details of each subsystem. Enabled by recent advances in noninvasive measurement of physiological and behavioral parameters, subsystem monitoring can be implemented within a mission and also during preflight training to establish baseline values and ranges. Coupled with appropriate mathematical modeling, this can provide real-time assessment of health and function, and detect early indications of imminent breakdown. Since the interconnected web of physiological systems (and crewmembers) can be interpreted as a network in mathematical terms, we can draw on recent work that relates the structure of such networks to their resilience (ability to self-organize in the face of perturbation). There are many parameters and interactions to choose from. Normal variability is an established characteristic of a healthy physiological response. Healthy coupling has been investigated less extensively, but there are cases in which too tight or too loose coupling can be problematic. This might be in inter-individual behaviors, such as sleep cycles, coordination of work and meal times, and coupled motions during communication. Less apparent are couplings of physiological systems, nevertheless examples abound of coupled systems which might be monitored: cardio-respiratory rhythms; circadian rhythms, body temperature, and sleep; stress markers and cognition, sleep, and performance; profiles of biochemical markers related to immune function and nutritional status; sensorimotor aspects such as motion sickness, ataxia, reaction time, and manual control. Tools for resilience are then the means to measure and analyze these parameters, incorporate them into appropriate models of normal variability and interconnectedness, and recognize when parameters or their couplings are outside of normal limits. What to do when a problem is identified depends on its nature. Changes can be made to crew procedures, work pacing, interpersonal interactions, sleep cycles, meal timing and content, as guided by the model. Use and continued development of these methods could not only provide tools for resilience, but also meaningful autonomous work for the crew on an extended flight.

Effects of polycarboxylate ether (PCE)-based superplasticizer on the dissolution and subsequent hydration of calcium oxide (CaO)

Calcium oxide (CaO) is an important construction material, used as expansive agent, alkaline activator, and repairing material for historical structures. In this study, the dissolution and subsequent hydration of CaO, with or without the polycarboxylate ether (PCE)-based superplasticizer, were investigated to elucidate the complex crystallization process of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH){sub 2}). On contact with pure water, CaO particles began to hydrate within a few minutes, while releasing a significant amount of heat. Adding superplasticizer slowed such rapid heat evolution by forming a dormant period and significantly affected the crystallinity of the hydration product. The dormant period was controllable by the amount of added superplasticizer. Moreover, as a result of early nucleation of Ca(OH){sub 2}, the formation of 10–100-nm spherical nanoparticles was observed via an in-situ transmission electron microscope, which completely differed from the final crystal shape of the hydration product.

Deformation, dislocation evolution and the non-Schmid effect in body-centered-cubic single- and polycrystal tantalum

A physically-informed continuum crystal plasticity model is presented to elucidate deformation mechanisms, dislocation evolution and the non-Schmid effect in body-centered-cubic (bcc) tantalum widely used as a key structural material for mechanical and thermal extremes. We show the unified structural modeling framework informed by mesoscopic dislocation dynamics simulations is capable of capturing salient features of the large inelastic behavior of tantalum at quasi-static (10 -3 s -1 ) to extreme strain rates (5000 s -1 ) and at low (77 K) to high temperatures (873 K) at both single- and polycrystal levels. Here we also present predictive capabilities of the model for microstructural evolution in the material. To this end, we investigate the effects of dislocation interactions on slip activities, instability and the non-Schmid behavior at the single crystal level. Furthermore, ex situ measurements on crystallographic texture evolution and dislocation density growth are carried out for polycrystal tantalum specimens at increasing strains. Numerical simulation results also support that the modeling framework is capable of capturing the main features of the polycrystal behavior over a wide range of strains, strain rates and temperatures. The theoretical, experimental and numerical results at both single- and polycrystal levels provide critical insight into the underlying physical pictures for micro- and macroscopic responses and their relations in this important class of refractory bcc materials undergoing large inelastic deformations.

Probing the Self-Assembly dynamics of cellulose nanocrystals by X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy

Charge-stabilized colloidal cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) can self-assemble into higher-ordered chiral nematic structures by varying the volume fraction. The assembly process exhibits distinct dynamics during the isotropic to liquid crystal phase transition, which can be elucidated using X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS). Anionic CNCs were dispersed in propylene glycol (PG) and water spanning a range of volume fractions, encompassing several phase transitions. Coupled with traditional characterization techniques, XPCS was conducted to monitor the dynamic evolution of the different phases. Additionally, simulated XPCS results were obtained using colloidal rods and compared with the experimental data, offering additional insights into the dynamic behavior of the system. The results indicate that the particle dynamics of CNCs undergo a stepped decay in three stages during the self-assembly process in PG, coinciding with the observed phases. The phase transitions are associated with a total drop of Brownian diffusion rates by four orders of magnitude, a decrease of more than a thousand times slower than expected in an ideal system of repulsive Brownian rods. Given the similarity in the phase behaviors in CNCs dispersed in PG and in water, we hypothesize that these dynamic behaviors can be extrapolated to other polar solvent environments. Importantly, these findings represent the direct measurement of CNC dynamics using XPCS, underscoring the feasibility of directly assessing the dynamic behavior of other rod-like colloidal suspensions.

Effects of processing temperature, pressure, and fiber volume fraction on mechanical and morphological behaviors of fully-recyclable uni-directional thermoplastic polymer-fiber-reinforced polymers

This work explores a type of composite called thermoplastic polymer-fiber-reinforced polymers (PFRPs), often referred to as self-reinforced composites (SRCs). A representative PFRP was exemplified using unidirectional (UD) ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers embedded in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix. The effects of compression molding temperature and pressure on the mechanical and morphological behaviors of the filament-wound PFRPs with various fiber volume fractions (V f ) were experimentally investigated. The results elucidate the evolution of morphologies and tensile properties of the PFRPs due to thermal melting, fiber misalignment from pressure, and (V f )-induced structural variance, which has not been comprehensively reported yet. The highest specific tensile strength and modulus of the PFRP laminae reach 600 MPa/(g/cm 3 ) and 31 GPa/(g/cm 3 ), respectively. These properties are comparable to glass-/aramid-fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs, GFRTPs, AFRPs, and AFRTPs), with PFRPs exhibiting better ductility (specific strain at peak load ≈ 4%/(g/cm 3 )) than other common polymer composites. The motivation for this work was the high recyclability of PFRPs, which can be recycled by melting both the fibers and the matrix, and then reshaped them for re-manufacturing composites to maximize the efficiency in material reuse. This process simplifies the implementation of closed-loop recycling, re-manufacturing, and reuse to support sustainability in composites. This work aims to contribute to advancing thermoplastic PFRPs for their potential applications in various industries.

Characterization of the Entry Steps in Diterpenoid Alkaloid Biosynthesis

The diterpenoid alkaloids are a group of specialized metabolites where the terpenoid and alkaloid classes intersect, and which are found primarily within the Aconitum (Wolf’s-Bane) and Delphinium (Larkspur) genera. While there is considerable interest in these compounds for their wide range of bioactivities, their structural complexity poses a significant challenge for chemical synthesis. Biosynthesis offers an appealing alternative for production, however, little progress has been made towards elucidation of their biosynthetic pathways. Here, we employ a comparative transcriptomics approach to identify six enzymatic steps in the biosynthesis of atisinium, conserved across both Delphinium grandiflorum and Aconitum plicatum . Key to this pathway is a reductase which selectively incorporates ethanolamine over ethylamine into the diterpenoid scaffold. While the majority of diterpenoid alkaloids contain an ethylamine moiety, we demonstrate through isotope labeling in Aconitum callus cultures and a computational metabolomics approach that ethanolamine is, unintuitively, the preferred source of nitrogen for these metabolites. Identification of these enzymes and production of a key intermediate in a heterologous host paves the way for biosynthetic production of this group of metabolites with promise for medicinal applications.

Correlating the phase evolution and anionic redox in Co-Free Ni-Rich layered oxide cathodes

Current trend of high-capacity Ni-rich layered cathode is to develop high-Ni and low-Co or Co-free oxides. The high Ni content layered oxides provide great advantages in capacity, cost and environmental benignity, similar to LiNiO 2 parent compound. But they also inherit drawbacks in structural and chemical instability at high voltages upon cycling. As such, elemental substitution plays a profound role in addressing these challenges. This work elucidates the roles of Al doping in cationic redox and anionic oxygen activity in LiAl x Ni 1-x O 2 using combined X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) as well as operando differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS). Using synchrotron wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), we extrapolate a general principle of phase transition and its coupling with lattice anionic oxygen redox. These findings shed light on the advancement of high-capacity, stable-cycling and safe-operating Ni-rich cathode materials for next generation Li-ion batteries.

Infrared Spectroscopic Observation of Oxo- and Superoxo-Intermediates in the Water Oxidation Cycle of a Molecular Ir Catalyst

Molecular Ir catalysts have emerged as an important class of model catalysts for understanding structure–activity relationships in water oxidation, a reaction that is central to renewable fuel synthesis. Prior efforts have mostly focused on controlling and elucidating the emergence of active species from prepared precursors. However, the development of efficient and stable molecular Ir catalysts also necessitates probing of reaction intermediates. To date, relatively little is known about the key intermediates in the cycles of the molecular Ir catalysts. Herein, we probed the catalytic cycle of a homogeneous Ir catalyst (“blue dimer”) at a Au electrode/aqueous electrolyte interface by combining surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) with phase-sensitive detection (PSD). Cyclic voltammograms (CVs) from 1.4 to 1.7 VRHE (RHE = reversible hydrogen electrode) give rise to a band at ~818 cm –1 , whereas CVs from 1.4 to ≥1.85 VRHE generate an additional band at ~1146 cm –1 . Isotope labeling experiments indicate that the bands at ~818 and ~1146 cm –1 are attributable to oxo (Ir V =O) and superoxo (Ir IV –OO • ) moieties, respectively. Furthermore, this study establishes PSD-SEIRAS as a sensitive tool for probing water oxidation cycles at electrode/electrolyte interfaces and demonstrates that the relative abundance of two key intermediates can be tuned by the thermodynamic driving force of the reaction.

Elucidating and contrasting the mechanisms for Mg and Ca sulfate ion-pair formation with multi-level embedded quantum mechanics/molecular dynamics simulations

Here, solutions and minerals containing sulfate (SO 4 2- ), and Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ cations, are ubiquitous throughout the lithosphere and are significant components of seawater, thus presenting a prototypical system for the study of strong electrolytes and crystal nucleation mechanisms. However, despite their relative abundance, key questions remain unanswered about the most fundamental atomic-level steps of their mineralization pathways and aqueous dynamics. Here, we carry out enhanced sampling multi-level molecular dynamics (MD) embedded correlated wavefunction theory simulations to elucidate ion-pairing mechanisms for Mg–SO 4 and Ca–SO 4 in concentrated aqueous solution, accurately capturing effects arising from both structural dynamics and electron exchange–correlation. We predict contact-ion-pair formation to be barrierless and highly exoergic for Ca–SO 4 , in agreement with its minimal solubility, whereas for Mg–SO 4 , solvent-shared and contact ion pairs have similar free energies, qualitatively consistent with its higher solubility. Finally, we demonstrate that brief high-temperature pre-equilibration may be utilized to accelerate convergence of free energies in blue-moon-ensemble enhanced-sampling MD.

Anisotropic spin-wave excitations in multiferroic BiFeO 3

Polarized inelastic neutron-scattering experiments have been performed to elucidate the anisotropic behavior of the low-energy spin-wave excitations in a multiferroic BiFeO 3 , which shows a cycloidal spin structure below 640 K. Using neutron polarization analysis for single magnetic domain crystals, magnetic excitation modes in and out of the cycloidal plane below 6 meV were separated successfully. The magnetic excitation spectra were analyzed using linear spin-wave theory. The low-energy magnon density of states consist of several magnon modes, including the two anisotropic modes, Φ and Ψ modes, distributed in and out of the cycloidal plane, respectively, which were previously observed using optical spectroscopies. Furthermore, there are other magnon modes that are not active in optical measurements. Additionally, a model spin Hamiltonian, which reproduces the spin-wave frequencies observed using optical spectroscopies, explains the overall spectra reasonably well.
