Real-time Characterization of the Fine Structure and Dynamics of an Electrical Double Layer at Electrode-electrolyte Interfaces

The chemisorption of species from supporting electrolytes on electrode surfaces is ubiquitous in electrochemical systems and affects the dynamics and mechanism of various electrochemical reactions. The understanding of chemical structure and property of the resulting electrical double layer is vital but limited. In this work, we operando probed the electrochemical interface between a gold electrode surface and a common supporting electrolyte, phosphate buffer, using our newly developed in situ liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry. We surprisingly found that on the positively charged gold electrode surface sodium cations were anchored in the stern layer in a partially dehydrated form by formation of compact ion pairs with the accumulated phosphate anions. The resulting strong and dense adsorption phase was further revealed to retard the electro-oxidation reaction of ascorbate. This finding addressed one major gap in the fundamental science of electrode-electrolyte interfaces that where and how the cations reside in the double layer to impose effects on electrochemical reactions, providing insights into engineering of better electrode-electrolyte interfaces in electrochemical processes.

Comparisons of bpy and phen Ligand Backbones in Cr-Mediated (Co-)Electrocatalytic CO 2 Reduction

Due to the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentrations, there is a need for the development of new strategies to enhance the selectivity and activity of the electrocatalytic conversion of CO 2 to value-added products. The incorporation of redox mediators (RMs) as co-catalysts to enhance the transfer of redox equivalents during catalysis has been gaining more attention in recent years across a variety of small molecule transformations. We have shown that using Cr-centered complexes with sulfone-based RMs leads to an enhancement of CO 2 reduction electrocatalysis under protic conditions via an inner-sphere mechanism. In these co-catalytic systems, an oxygen atom of the reduced RM binds to the Cr center to form a key intermediate stabilized by pancake bonding between the reduced aromatic components of the catalyst ligand backbone and the RM. This interaction facilitates the transfer of an electron and accesses a more kinetically favorable reaction pathway. Here, we show that expanding the aromatic character of the ligand backbone of the catalyst as well as the RM can cause a greater enhancement of co-electrocatalytic activity. These results suggest that further activity improvements can be achieved by focusing on the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters which control association between the catalyst and RM.

Propane Dehydrogenation Catalyzed by Supported Group IV (Ti, Zr, Hf) Organometallics on Silicon Nitride

Mesoporous silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) enables access to chemisorbed group IV organometallics catalysts active for propane dehydrogenation (PDH) compared to the organometallic analogues on mesoporous silica under the same reaction conditions. The series of Si 3 N 4 -supported materials are active catalysts, (Zr > Hf > Ti k f = 290, 232, and 162 mol mol Metal -1 h -1 at 450 °C with 2% C 3 H 8 in Ar, respectively) with selectivity above 95%, demonstrating additional examples of Ti and Hf systems for PDH. However, the underlying mechanism of the improved performance relative to oxide supported homologues is not well-understood. Characterization of thermally treated samples (DRIFTS, XAS and SSNMR) and computational modeling of this catalyst series was utilized to differentiate between potential amido - (C-H activation along the M-N bond) and imido - (C-H activation along the M=N bond) mechanisms. Due to remaining mechanistic ambiguity, a Ga analogue was synthesized and evaluated for PDH activity as an indirect probe to experimentally differentiate pathways. An inversion of the oxide/nitride performance trend is observed for the Ga congener which does not form a Ga=N bond, most consistent with different mechanisms dictating the performance of the group IV/Si 3 N 4 catalysts vs Ga/Si 3 N 4 .

Ultra-Low Viscosity and High Magnetic Susceptibility Magnetic Ionic Liquids Featuring Functionalized Diglycolic Acid Ester Rare-Earth and Transition Metal Chelates

Magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) comprise a subcategory of ionic liquids (ILs) and contain a paramagnetic metal center allowing them to be readily manipulated by an external magnetic field. While MILs are popularly employed as solvents in catalysis, separations, and organic synthesis, most low viscosity combinations possess a hydrophilic character that limits their use in aqueous matrices. To date, no study has reported the synthesis and characterization of hydrophobic MILs with viscosities similar to those of hydrophilic MILs and organic solvents while simultaneously exhibiting enhanced magnetic and thermal properties. In this study, diglycolic acid esters are employed as ligands to chelate with paramagnetic metals to produce cations that are paired with metal chelates composed of hexafluoroacetylacetonate ligands to form MILs incorporating multiple metal centers in the cation and anion. Viscosity values below 31.6 cP were obtained for these solvents, the lowest ever reported for hydrophobic MILs. Solubilities in nonpolar solvents such as benzene were observed to be as high as 50% (w/v) MIL-to-solvent ratio while being insoluble in water at concentrations as low as 0.01% (w/v). Effective paramagnetic moment values for these solvents ranged from 5.33 to 15.56 Bohr magnetons (μB), with mixed metal MILs containing multiple lanthanides in the anion generally offering higher magnetic susceptibilities. MILs composed of ligands containing octyl substituents were found to possess thermal stabilities up to 190 °C. The synthetic strategies explored in this study exploit the highly tunable nature of the employed cation and anion pairs to design versatile ultra-low viscosity magnetoactive solvents that possess tremendous potential and applicability in liquid–liquid separation systems, catalysis, and microfluidics where the mechanical movement of the solvent can be easily facilitated using electromagnets.

Operando X-ray Diffraction Studies of the Mg-Ion Migration Mechanisms in Spinel Cathodes for Rechargeable Mg-Ion Batteries

A promising high-voltage spinel oxide cathode material MgCrMnO 4 with 18% Mg/Mn inversion was synthesized successfully. A new custom operando battery device was designed to study the cation migration mechanisms of the MgCrMnO 4 cathode using 0.1 M Mg(TPFA) 2 electrolyte dissolved in triglyme and activated carbon as the anode. For the first time in multivalent batteries, high-quality operando diffraction data enabled the accurate quantification of cation contents in the host structure. Besides the exceptional reversibility of 12% Mg 2+ insertion in Mg 1- x CrMnO 4 ( x ≤ 1), a partially reversible insertion of excess Mg 2+ during overdischarging was also observed. Moreover, the insertion/extraction reaction was experimentally shown to be accompanied by a series of cation redistributions in the spinel framework, which were further supported by density functional theory calculations. Furthermore, the inverted Mn is believed to be directly involved in the cation migrations, which would cause voltage hysteresis and irreversible structural evolution after overdischarging. Tuning the Mg/Mn inversion rate could provide a direct path to further optimize spinel oxide cathodes for Mg-ion batteries, and more generally, the operando techniques developed in this work should play a key role in understanding the complex mechanisms involved in multivalent ion insertion systems.

Dissolved Oxygen Redox as the Source of Hydrogen Peroxide and Hydroxyl Radical in Sonicated Emulsive Water Microdroplets

Sonicated emulsive water microdroplets (SEWMs) accelerate and enable a variety of catalyst-free chemical transformations. However, significant unanswered questions remain regarding the chemical intermediates they form and their possible redox origin. In this study, we identified dissolved O 2 as the primary originator of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as OH• and H 2 O 2. We uncovered the role of dissolved O 2 redox by using a combination of microelectrochemical methods to detect H 2 O 2 , isotopic methods to identify the source of H 2 O 2 , and a combination of electron spin resonance and the DMPO spin trap to detect radicals such as OH•. Notably, we found that H 2 O 2 production is correlated with O 2 content via a reduction pathway enabled by a sufficiently large reducing power that can additionally generate H 2 and even perform Pb electroless deposition on Au and Cu metal substrates. Building on our findings, continuous O 2 bubbling of SEWMs showed accumulation of H 2 O 2 up to ∼88 mM in the aqueous phase within 1 h of sonication, demonstrating the scale-up promise of this method. Distinct to sonochemistry of a single phase, this study advances our understanding of the confluence of redox and chemical reaction mechanisms within SEWMs as a biphasic system. This insight paves the way for improving their reaction kinetics, yield, and selectivity, positioning these attractive redox microreactors as alternatives to traditional electrolyzers.

Hollow-core optical fibre sensors for operando Raman spectroscopy investigation of Li-ion battery liquid electrolytes

Improved analytical tools are urgently required to identify degradation and failure mechanisms in Li-ion batteries. However, understanding and ultimately avoiding these detrimental mechanisms requires continuous tracking of complex electrochemical processes in different battery components. Here, we report an operando spectroscopy method that enables monitoring the chemistry of a carbonate-based liquid electrolyte during electrochemical cycling in Li-ion batteries with a graphite anode and a LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 cathode. By embedding a hollow-core optical fibre probe inside a lab-scale pouch cell, we demonstrate the effective evolution of the liquid electrolyte species by background-free Raman spectroscopy. The analysis of the spectroscopy measurements reveals changes in the ratio of carbonate solvents and electrolyte additives as a function of the cell voltage and show the potential to track the lithium-ion solvation dynamics. The proposed operando methodology contributes to understanding better the current Li-ion battery limitations and paves the way for studies of the degradation mechanisms in different electrochemical energy storage systems.

Atomistic deformation mechanism of silicon under laser-driven shock compression

Abstract Silicon (Si) is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, and it is the most widely used semiconductor. Despite extensive study, some properties of Si, such as its behaviour under dynamic compression, remain elusive. A detailed understanding of Si deformation is crucial for various fields, ranging from planetary science to materials design. Simulations suggest that in Si the shear stress generated during shock compression is released via a high-pressure phase transition, challenging the classical picture of relaxation via defect-mediated plasticity. However, direct evidence supporting either deformation mechanism remains elusive. Here, we use sub-picosecond, highly-monochromatic x-ray diffraction to study (100)-oriented single-crystal Si under laser-driven shock compression. We provide the first unambiguous, time-resolved picture of Si deformation at ultra-high strain rates, demonstrating the predicted shear release via phase transition. Our results resolve the longstanding controversy on silicon deformation and provide direct proof of strain rate-dependent deformation mechanisms in a non-metallic system.

Continental-scale integration of soil metagenomes and organic matter chemistry reveals ubiquitous microbial capacity for chemically-recalcitrant carbon decomposition

Soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition by microorganisms is a major uncertainty in predicting terrestrial carbon–atmosphere feedbacks, partly because we lack understanding of the microbial diversity involved in depolymerizing different carbon pools across environmental gradients. We address this gap using a continental-scale dataset pairing shotgun metagenomes with high-resolution SOM chemistry, assembling 0.76 Tbp of prokaryotic MAGs (828 genomes) and identifying 66,727 SOM molecules from 47 standardized U.S. soil cores selected using respiration rates from 106 soils. Integrating these datasets reveals widespread microbial potential for depolymerizing chemically-recalcitrant SOM previously considered stable. We uncover complementary metabolic specialization between genera affiliated with two abundant bacterial orders, Rhizobiales and Chthoniobacterales, and an archaeal order, Nitrososphaerales. This metabolic partitioning is consistent across soil depths and activity levels, suggesting coordinated decomposition of complex SOM through distinct but complementary biochemical strategies. The metabolic potential for depolymerization of chemically-recalcitrant compounds is supported by the abundance of these molecules across the soils, as indicated by Fourier-Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (FTICR-MS), and by flux balance analysis of metabolic models. Our results show that a substantial portion of ostensibly stable SOM remains vulnerable to microbial decomposition, a mechanism not captured in current Earth System Models.

Thermodynamics of order and randomness in dopant distributions inferred from atomically resolved imaging

Abstract Exploration of structure-property relationships as a function of dopant concentration is commonly based on mean field theories for solid solutions. However, such theories that work well for semiconductors tend to fail in materials with strong correlations, either in electronic behavior or chemical segregation. In these cases, the details of atomic arrangements are generally not explored and analyzed. The knowledge of the generative physics and chemistry of the material can obviate this problem, since defect configuration libraries as stochastic representation of atomic level structures can be generated, or parameters of mesoscopic thermodynamic models can be derived. To obtain such information for improved predictions, we use data from atomically resolved microscopic images that visualize complex structural correlations within the system and translate them into statistical mechanical models of structure formation. Given the significant uncertainties about the microscopic aspects of the material’s processing history along with the limited number of available images, we combine model optimization techniques with the principles of statistical hypothesis testing. We demonstrate the approach on data from a series of atomically-resolved scanning transmission electron microscopy images of Mo x Re 1- x S 2 at varying ratios of Mo/Re stoichiometries, for which we propose an effective interaction model that is then used to generate atomic configurations and make testable predictions at a range of concentrations and formation temperatures.

Tensile deformation behavior of twist grain boundaries in CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy bicrystals

High entropy alloys (HEA) are a class of materials that consist of multiple elemental species in similar concentrations. The use of elements in far from dilute concentrations introduces a multi-dimensional composition design space by which the properties of metallic systems can be tailored. While the mechanical behavior of HEAs has been the subject of active research recently, the role of grain boundaries (GBs) in their deformation behavior remains poorly understood. Motivated by recent experiments on HEAs demonstrating that GBs act as nucleation sites for deformation twins, herein, we leverage atomistic simulations to construct a series of equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi HEA bicrystals with $\langle 110 \rangle$ and $\langle 111 \rangle$ symmetric twist GBs and examine their tensile behavior and underlying deformation mechanisms at 77 K. Simulation results reveal that plastic deformation proceeds by the nucleation of partial dislocations from GBs, which then grow with further loading by bowing into the bulk crystals leaving behind stacking faults. Variations in the nucleation stress exist as function of GB character, defined in this work by the twist angle. Our results provide future avenues to explore GBs as a microstructure design tool to develop HEAs with tailored properties.

Projected changes in African easterly wave activity due to climate change

African easterly waves significantly influence regional hydroclimate, making it crucial to understand how global warming will impact their activity. Here, we investigate future changes in wave activity and assess the underlying mechanisms using an ensemble of Earth system models. We find a robust increase in wave activity over the Sahel–Sahara region by the end of the 21st century under two emission scenarios. This intensification is linked to increased baroclinicity associated with a strengthening of the meridional temperature gradient between the Guinea Coast and the Sahara. Our results also indicate that low-level warming enhances the waves by reinforcing monsoon flow, leading to increased convergence and vertical motion along the intertropical discontinuity. These energetic alterations significantly modify the conditions that currently produce these waves. Overall, our findings suggest that changes in wave activity could impact the transport of Saharan dust and mesoscale convective activity over the Sahel.

Distonic radical anion species in cysteine oxidation processes

Oxidation of cysteine residues constitutes an important regulatory mechanism in the function of biological systems. Much of this behavior is controlled by the specific chemical properties of the thiol side-chain group, where reac-tions with reactive oxygen species take place. Herein, we in-vestigated the entire cysteine oxidation cycle Cys-SH ? Cys-SOnH (n = 1, 2, 3) using cryogenic negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations. The conven-tional view on the first reversible oxidation step (n = 1) is as-sociated with sulfinate species. Yet our results indicate that an alternative option exists in the form of novel distonic radical anion •OS-CH2CH(NH2)-COO- with an unpaired electron on the thiol group and excess negative charge on the carboxylate. Higher order oxidation states (n = 2, 3) are thought to be asso-ciated with irreversible oxidative damage, and our results show that excess negative charge in those cases migrates to -SOn- group. Furthermore, these species are stable towards 1e oxidation, as opposed to the n = 1 case that undergoes intra-molecular proton transfer. The molecular level insights report-ed in this work provide direct spectroscopic evidences towards unique chemical versatility of Cys-sulfenic acid (Cys-SOH) in post-translational modifications of protein systems.

Limited impact of jet-induced feedback in the multi-phase nuclear interstellar medium of 4C12.50

4C12.50 (IRAS 13451+1232) at z = 0.122 is an ultraluminous infared radio galaxy that has often been proposed as a prime candidate for the link between ultraluminous infared galaxies and young radio galaxies. It is also an interesting target to investigate whether and how radio-induced feedback affects the evolution of galaxies in the early phases of radio activity. We study, in detail for the first time, the hot (≥1500 K) molecular gas in 4C12.50. The potential impact of the radio jet on this gas phase, as well as on the star formation activity, are investigated. We also study the ionised (including coronal) gas as traced by the near-infrared lines. Using near-infrared long slit spectroscopy obtained with EMIR on GTC and X-shooter on VLT, we analyse the emission line spectrum of the ionised, coronal, and, specially, the hot molecular gas in the western nucleus hosting the compact radio jet. Based on high spatial resolution ALMA CO(2–1) data, we also revise the location of 4C12.50 in the Kennicutt-Schmidt diagram in order to investigate whether star formation is suppressed. 4C12.50 hosts (2.1 ± 0.4) × 10 4 M ⊙ of hot molecular gas. An unusually high rotational temperature T rot = 3020 ± 160 K is inferred. The molecular gas mass obeys a power-law temperature distribution, dM H2 /dT ∝ T –5 , from T ~300 K and up to ~3000 K. Both results support the idea that shocks (probably induced by the radio jet) contribute to the heating and excitation of the hot molecular gas. A molecular outflow is not detected. The coupling of the outflowing ionised and neutral outflows with the hot molecular gas is poor. Contrary to other studies, we claim that there is no evidence for star formation suppression in this object. If radio-induced feedback can regulate the star formation activity in galaxies, 4C12.50 is a promising candidate to reveal this phenomenon in action. However, we find no solid evidence for a current or past impact of this mechanism on the evolution of this system, neither by clearing out the dusty central cocoon efficiently, nor by suppressing the star formation activity.

Phase coexistence implications of violating Newton’s third law

Newton’s third law, action = reaction, is a foundational statement of classical mechanics. However, in natural and living systems, this law appears to be routinely violated for constituents interacting in a nonequilibrium environment. Here, we use computer simulations to explore the macroscopic phase behavior implications of breaking microscopic interaction reciprocity for a simple model system. We consider a binary mixture of attractive particles and introduce a parameter that is a continuous measure of the degree to which interaction reciprocity is broken. In the reciprocal limit, the species are indistinguishable, and the system phase separates into domains with distinct densities and identical compositions. Furthermore, increasing nonreciprocity is found to drive the system to explore a rich assortment of phases, including phases with strong composition asymmetries and three-phase coexistence. Many of the states induced by these forces, including traveling crystals and liquids, have no equilibrium analogs. By mapping the complete phase diagram for this model system and characterizing these unique phases, our findings offer a concrete path forward toward understanding how nonreciprocity shapes the structures found in living systems and how this might be leveraged in the design of synthetic materials.

Charge transfer in transition metal dichalcogenide alloy heterostructures

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides and their alloys provide a unique platform for exploring interlayer charge transfer in van der Waals heterostructures. These structures are crucial for advancing the next-generation electronic, optoelectronic, and quantum devices. In this study, interlayer charge transfer in heterostructures composed of MoSe 2 , MoS 2 , and their alloy, MoSSe, is investigated using transient absorption, Raman, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The experimental results reveal that electron transfer in the alloy heterostructures, MoSSe/MoS 2 and MoSe 2 /MoSSe, is faster than in the pure MoSe 2 /MoS 2 heterostructure, despite the smaller conduction band offsets of the alloy systems. Raman spectroscopy confirms that alloy layers support phonon modes matching those of the pure layers, aligning with theoretical models of phonon-assisted interlayer charge transfer. Additionally, efficient hole transfer is observed in both alloy heterostructures. The findings suggest transition metal dichalcogenides alloys can be used for engineering heterostructures with desired charge transfer properties. By leveraging compositionally tunable band gaps and optical properties, alloy-based heterostructures offer opportunities for designing tailored materials suitable for diverse applications such as photodetectors, light-emitting devices, and flexible electronics. Furthermore, the ultrafast charge transfer observed in these systems provides insights into the fundamental mechanisms governing interlayer interactions in 2D materials.

Large-scale Multiphysics Simulations of Small Modular Reactors Operating in Natural Circulation

Thanks to the advancements in high-performance computing, advanced modeling and simulation have become crucial in driving the development and deployment of next-generation nuclear reactors, such as small modular reactors (SMRs). SMRs offer the promise of cost-effective baseload electricity production and improved safety, while addressing some of the challenges associated with large reactor designs, such as high capital costs and extended construction timelines. As part of the Exascale Computing Project, the large-scale multiphysics simulation of an entire SMR primary system has been achieved by combining computational fluid dynamics and neutronics. In addition to the successful demonstration of full-core SMR simulations, the current study integrated the impact of natural circulation into the system. Natural circulation is the primary mechanism driving coolant circulation in SMRs. The mass flow rate in the core depends on the core power, and a numerical model has been developed to predict it. The pressure drop caused by the helical coil steam generator was also accounted for by developing a pressure drop correlation based on high-fidelity large eddy simulation results, further improving prediction accuracy. In conclusion, the results of the study demonstrate that the implemented natural circulation model is effective in predicting the responses of SMR full-core multiphysics simulations.

Quantum simulation of boson-related Hamiltonians: techniques, effective Hamiltonian construction, and error analysis

Elementary quantum mechanics proposes that a closed physical system consistently evolves in a reversible manner. However, control and readout necessitate the coupling of the quantum system to the external environment, subjecting it to relaxation and decoherence. Consequently, system-environment interactions are indispensable for simulating physically significant theories. A broad spectrum of physical systems in condensed-matter and high-energy physics, vibrational spectroscopy, and circuit and cavity QED necessitates the incorporation of bosonic degrees of freedom, such as phonons, photons, and gluons, into optimized fermion algorithms for near-future quantum simulations. In particular, when a quantum system is surrounded by an external environment, its basic physics can usually be simplified to a spin or fermionic system interacting with bosonic modes. Nevertheless, troublesome factors such as the magnitude of the bosonic degrees of freedom typically complicate the direct quantum simulation of these interacting models, necessitating the consideration of a comprehensive plan. This strategy should specifically include a suitable fermion/boson-to-qubit mapping scheme to encode sufficiently large yet manageable bosonic modes, and a method for truncating and/or downfolding the Hamiltonian to the defined subspace for performing an approximate but highly accurate simulation, guided by rigorous error analysis. In this pedagogical tutorial review, we aim to provide such an exhaustive strategy, focusing on encoding and simulating certain bosonic-related model Hamiltonians, inclusive of their static properties and time evolutions. Specifically, we emphasize two aspects: (1) the discussion of recently developed quantum algorithms for these interacting models and the construction of effective Hamiltonians, and (2) a detailed analysis regarding a tightened error bound for truncating the bosonic modes for a class of fermion-boson interacting Hamiltonians.
