Calorimetric metal vapor adsorption energies for characterizing industrial catalyst support materials

Many important catalysts and electro-catalysts for energy and environmental technologies involve late transition metal atoms and nanoparticles dispersed across the surface of high-surface-area support materials, for example, oxide nanoparticles. The surface reactivity and long-term stability against deactivation of these materials depends strongly on the strength of bonding of the metal atom and nanoparticles to the support surface. Here, we introduce a novel calorimetry method that implements a LiTaO 3 crystal for heat detection and extends metal adsorption calorimetry to surfaces of nanomaterials that are deposited from liquid solutions, as is typical when preparing industrial catalyst supports. This allows one to measure the strength of metal atom bonding and the adhesion energy of metal nanoparticles to clean surfaces of technologically relevant catalyst supports. We demonstrate that here by measuring the heat of Ag vapor adsorption onto the clean surfaces of high-surface-area TiO 2 anatase powdered support materials (i.e., 5-nm-diameter nanoparticles). These heats of adsorption show a pulse-to-pulse standard deviation of only 9.3 kJ/mol (3.3%) for pulses containing only 1% of a monolayer of Ag vapor, with potential for a 5-fold reduction in noise if used with another metal evaporator. The calorimeter was also proven to work well measuring heats of Ag adsorption on calcium niobate(001) nanosheets deposited as thin films from liquid solution. Here, this calorimeter opens up the possibility of using metal adsorption calorimetry to screen catalyst support materials for the strengths with which they bind metal atoms and metal nanoparticles, offering new opportunities to discover better support materials or for basic scientific study of structure / function relationships with respect to metal / support bond energies.

Coating Carbon Fibers With Platinum

A process for coating carbon fibers with platinum has been developed. The process may also be adaptable to coating carbon fibers with other noble and refractory metals, including rhenium and iridium. The coated carbon fibers would be used as ingredients of matrix/fiber composite materials that would resist oxidation at high temperatures. The metal coats would contribute to oxidation resistance by keeping atmospheric oxygen away from fibers when cracks form in the matrices. Other processes that have been used to coat carbon fibers with metals have significant disadvantages: Metal-vapor deposition processes yield coats that are nonuniform along both the lengths and the circumferences of the fibers. The electrical resistivities of carbon fibers are too high to be compatible with electrolytic processes. Metal/organic vapor deposition entails the use of expensive starting materials, it may be necessary to use a furnace, and the starting materials and/or materials generated in the process may be hazardous. The present process does not have these disadvantages. It yields uniform, nonporous coats and is relatively inexpensive. The process can be summarized as one of pretreatment followed by electroless deposition. The process consists of the following steps: The surfaces of the fiber are activated by deposition of palladium crystallites from a solution. The surface-activated fibers are immersed in a solution that contains platinum. A reducing agent is used to supply electrons to effect a chemical reduction in situ. The chemical reduction displaces the platinum from the solution. The displaced platinum becomes deposited on the fibers. Each platinum atom that has been deposited acts as a catalytic site for the deposition of another platinum atom. Hence, the deposition process can also be characterized as autocatalytic. The thickness of the deposited metal can be tailored via the duration of immersion and the chemical activity of the solution.

Preprocessing Affords 3D Crystalline Poly(3-hexylthiophene) Structure

The aggregation and crystallization of poly(3-hexylthiophene- 2,5-diyl) (P3HT), a representative active layer material used for organic field-effect transistor (OFET) applications, are influenced by the solution pretreatment and deposition process. This study explores vibration-assisted convective deposition for the fabrication of OFETs in comparison to spin coating, blade coating, and convective deposition without vibration. The ultraviolet–visible spectroscopic analysis demonstrates that convective deposition, especially assisted with vibration, leads to a greater degree of intrachain interactions, longer conjugation length, and enhanced polymer backbone planarization. When the P3HT solution is preprocessed via sonication and aging, the P3HT films exhibit J-like aggregation, and (h11) peaks can be observed through grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering, suggesting an ordered 3D crystalline structure. OFETs based on such films exhibit high mobilities (up to 0.14 cm 2 V –1 s –1 ). The results point to the sensitivity of P3HT charge transport behavior to the intramolecular interactions and backbone planarity and further deepen our understanding of the relationship between processing, aggregates, molecular ordering, and resultant device properties.

Experimental Investigation of Polymer-Induced Fouling of Heater Tubes in the First-Ever Polymer Flood on Alaska North Slope Part II

A polymer flood pilot has been ongoing in the Schrader Bluff viscous oil reservoir at Milne Point on the Alaska North Slope. The results from the pilot are encouraging. However, a major concern of the operator is the influence of polymer on the production system after breakthrough, especially the fouling in heat exchangers. This work applies a multiexperimental approach to study the severity of polymer-induced fouling in both dynamic and static states of produced fluids to determine safe operating conditions. Dynamic scale loop (DSL) tests were conducted to study fouling due to polymer at different skin temperatures (165–350°F) in a dynamic state of fluid flow where the fluids’ flow mimics the residence time of fluids in the heat exchanger of the field pilot. Static deposit tests were also conducted at similar skin temperatures of 165–250°F using a novel experimental apparatus designed and built in-house. It was found that at higher skin temperatures of 250–350°F, tube blocking was observed in the DSL tests, whereas the tests at 165–200°F did not show any tube blocking, even in a more extended test period. The deposit test showed that the deposit rate generally increases with skin temperature, and the presence of polymer aggravates the fouling. The copper tube performs best when the skin temperatures are 165–200°F, while the stainless steel tube performs best at a skin temperature of 250°F. These experiments also manifested the influence of the cloudpoint of the solution as the deposit rate increased significantly when the skin temperature was higher than the solution cloudpoint. The study provides a source of practical guidance to the field operations.

Solutions for discharge chamber sputtering and anode deposit spalling in small mercury ion thrusters

Small electron bombardment mercury ion thrusters are considered for attitude-control and station-keeping operations in the case of earth synchronous satellites. The required operational lifetimes of the order of 20,000 hours could present problems because of the occurrence of sputter erosion of thruster discharge chamber components. The investigation reported is concerned with a study of these problems and the development of approaches for overcoming them.

Method of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of diamond using methanol-based solutions

Briefly described, methods of forming diamond are described. A representative method, among others, includes: providing a substrate in a reaction chamber in a non-magnetic-field microwave plasma system; introducing, in the absence of a gas stream, a liquid precursor substantially free of water and containing methanol and at least one carbon and oxygen containing compound having a carbon to oxygen ratio greater than one, into an inlet of the reaction chamber; vaporizing the liquid precursor; and subjecting the vaporized precursor, in the absence of a carrier gas and in the absence in a reactive gas, to a plasma under conditions effective to disassociate the vaporized precursor and promote diamond growth on the substrate in a pressure range from about 70 to 130 Torr.

ThO 2 and Th 1– x U x O 2 Nanoscale Materials and Thin Films for Nuclear Science Applications

This study investigates the dynamics and mechanisms of solution combustion synthesis (SCS) for the preparation of nanoscale ThO 2 and Th 1–x U x O 2 materials, utilizing metal nitrates (Th(NO 3 ) 4 and UO 2 (NO 3 ) 2 ) and acetylacetone (C 5 H 8 O 2 ) as reactants dissolved in a 2-methoxyethanol (C 3 H 8 O 2 ) solvent. By combining thermodynamic calculations, dynamic time–temperature profile measurements with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), this research reveals how variations in acetylacetone concentration and uranium content influence the structural parameters of the synthesized oxides. The time–temperature measurements show that the heating rate and maximum combustion temperatures are sensitive to acetylacetone concentration. DSC-TGA results indicate shifts in exothermic peak temperatures as the uranium content changes. The complexation between thorium and acetylacetone emerges as a critical factor, impacting combustion parameters and the structural characteristics of the final products. The uniform distribution of Th and U in the Th 1–x U x O 2 solid solution and the formation of nanoscale particles with strained crystallites are considered essential for the low-temperature densification of these materials for nuclear fuel pellet applications. Additionally, high-quality ThO 2 and Th 1–x U x O 2 thin (100–150 nm) films are successfully synthesized via electrospray deposition of combustible solutions followed by a brief period of heat treatment. Furthermore, these films exhibit excellent structural and morphological uniformity, making them ideal candidates for nuclear measurements, irradiation damage studies, and investigations into the physical properties of both pure and mixed oxides.

Sodium doping of solution-processed amine-thiol based CIGS solar cells by thermal evaporation of NaCl

Poor crystallinity, high degree of porosity and rough surfaces are the main drawbacks of solution-processed CIGS absorbers resulting in lower power conversion efficiencies when compared to vacuum-based CIGS solar cells. Therefore, promoting absorber grain growth is key to further improve solution-based solar cell performance. The effect of alkali elements such as Na in CIGS absorbers is generally recognised to have beneficial effects not only on the absorber opto-electronic properties but also on the grain growth. In this work, thermal evaporation of a thin layer of NaCl prior to selenisation resulted in absorbers with significantly larger CIGS grains than previously seen with Na diffusing directly from the from soda-lime glass substrate. NaCl is non-toxic, abundant and readily available compound that has not been typically used as an evaporation source, but rather as an additive into CIGS precursor solution. The effect of Na on these solution-processed CIGS devices was primarily observed in the spectacular morphological changes leading to improved carrier collection and minority carrier lifetimes, but less on the absorber doping. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed voids forming around large CIGS grains upon NaCl addition and these had a negative effect on inter-grain carrier transport. Nonetheless, the resulting device performance doubled from 5% to 10% with addition of Na using this doping approach; however, a compromise between the optimum grain growth and optimum electronic properties had to be made. This study demonstrates a novel, simple and effective Na-doping strategy for CIGS absorbers and reveals the current limitations of the Na-doping in solution-processed atmospherically deposited cells.

Advanced Materials and Fabrication Techniques for the Orion Attitude Control Motor

Rhenium, with its high melting temperature, excellent elevated temperature properties, and lack of a ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT), is ideally suited for the hot gas components of the ACM (Attitude Control Motor), and other high-temperature applications. However, the high cost of rhenium makes fabricating these components using conventional fabrication techniques prohibitive. Therefore, near-net-shape forming techniques were investigated for producing cost-effective rhenium and rhenium alloy components for the ACM and other propulsion applications. During this investigation, electrochemical forming (EL-Form ) techniques were evaluated for producing the hot gas components. The investigation focused on demonstrating that EL-Form processing techniques could be used to produce the ACM flow distributor. Once the EL-Form processing techniques were established, a representative rhenium flow distributor was fabricated, and samples were harvested for material properties testing at both room and elevated temperatures. As a lower cost and lighter weight alternative to an all-rhenium component, rhenium- coated graphite and carbon-carbon were also evaluated. The rhenium-coated components were thermal-cycle tested to verify that they could withstand the expected thermal loads during service. High-temperature electroforming is based on electrochemical deposition of compact layers of metals onto a mandrel of the desired shape. Mandrels used for electro-deposition of near-net shaped parts are generally fabricated from high-density graphite. The graphite mandrel is easily machined and does not react with the molten electrolyte. For near-net shape components, the inner surface of the electroformed part replicates the polished graphite mandrel. During processing, the mandrel itself becomes the cathode, and scrap or refined refractory metal is the anode. Refractory metal atoms from the anode material are ionized in the molten electrolytic solution, and are deposited onto the cathodic mandrel by electrochemical reduction. Rotation of the mandrel ensures uniform distribution of refractory material. The EL-Form process allows for manufacturing in an inert atmosphere with deposition rates from 0.0004 to 0.002 in./h (10.2 to 50.8 m/h). Thicknesses typically range from microns to greater than 0.5 in. (13 mm). The refractory component produced is fabricated, dependably, to within one micron of the desired tolerances with no shrinkage or distortion as in other refractory metal manufacture techniques. The electroforming process has been used to produce solid, nonporous deposits of rhenium, iridium, niobium, tungsten, and their alloys.

Global patterns of diversity and metabolism of microbial communities in deep-sea hydrothermal vent deposits

When deep-sea hydrothermal fluids mix with cold oxygenated fluids, minerals precipitate out of solution and form hydrothermal deposits. These actively venting deep-sea hydrothermal deposits support a rich diversity of thermophilic microorganisms which are involved in a range of carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and hydrogen metabolisms. Global patterns of thermophilic microbial diversity in deep-sea hydrothermal ecosystems have illustrated the strong connectivity between geological processes and microbial colonization, but little is known about the genomic diversity and physiological potential of these novel taxa. Here we explore this genomic diversity in 42 metagenomes from four deep-sea hydrothermal vent fields and a deep-sea volcano collected from 2004 to 2018 and document their potential implications in biogeochemical cycles. Our dataset represents 3635 metagenome-assembled genomes encompassing 511 novel and recently identified genera from deep-sea hydrothermal settings. Some of the novel bacterial (107) and archaeal genera (30) that were recently reported from the deep-sea Brothers volcano were also detected at the deep-sea hydrothermal vent fields, while 99 bacterial and 54 archaeal genera were endemic to the deep-sea Brothers volcano deposits. We report some of the first examples of medium- (≥ 50% complete, ≤ 10% contaminated) to high-quality (> 90% complete, < 5% contaminated) MAGs from phyla and families never previously identified, or poorly sampled, from deep-sea hydrothermal environments. We greatly expand the novel diversity of Thermoproteia, Patescibacteria (Candidate Phyla Radiation, CPR), and Chloroflexota found at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and identify a small sampling of two potentially novel phyla, designated JALSQH01 and JALWCF01. Metabolic pathway analysis of metagenomes provides insights into the prevalent carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and hydrogen metabolic processes across all sites and illustrates sulfur and nitrogen metabolic “handoffs” in community interactions. We confirm that Campylobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria occupy similar ecological guilds but their prevalence in a particular site is driven by shifts in the geochemical environment. Our study of globally distributed hydrothermal vent deposits provides a significant expansion of microbial genomic diversity associated with hydrothermal vent deposits and highlights the metabolic adaptation of taxonomic guilds. Collectively, our results illustrate the importance of comparative biodiversity studies in establishing patterns of shared phylogenetic diversity and physiological ecology, while providing many targets for enrichment and cultivation of novel and endemic taxa.

A detailed study of pre-heating effects in electron beam melting powder bed fusion process

Metal-based additive manufacturing processes, such as powder bed fusion with electron beam (PBF-EB) process, also referred to as electron beam melting (EBM), can produce high-density parts with minimal residual stresses due to the uniform and coherent preheating of the powder bed. However, understanding and controlling the multiple stages of preheating is required to enable the production of high-quality, consistent parts of various materials. This work presents a large-scale, multi-layer, three-dimensional numerical analysis focused on studying the preheating stages for predicting thermal history during the PBF-EB process. The model follows a continuous multi-stage cyclic process, that incorporates all the main stages of the PBF-EB process for 316 L stainless steel. This includes the gradual deposition of a new powder layer, the first and second preheating levels of the powder bed, and the energy deposition during melting (excluding the actual melt-pool behavior simulation). The model employs an adaptive time-scaling approach that automatically adjusts the energy deposition for each solution time-increment. This allows for localized changes in time-resolution over an otherwise computationally expensive multi-layer procedure. The material property variations are also taken into account, with an emphasis on the subtle irreversible changes in powder effective thermal conductivity after the two requisite preheating stages of the powder bed. This effect is studied using simplified conductivity models from the literature for partially sintered powder, validated by a dedicated experiment and numerical simulation. The large-scale model is then used to estimate the actual temperatures during first and second preheating levels for 316 L steel, which is not yet fully supported commercially for PBF-EB. Model predictions are corroborated by experiments, using and analyzing IR images, taken at the completion of each layer by the machine’s built-in infrared camera. The current model also incorporates a qualitative assessment for the effects of conductivity change during pre-heating, as well as evaluates the applicability of the time-scaling approach.

Using high pressure solutions of polyfluoroacrylate and CO 2 to Seal cement cracks for improved wellbore integrity

Polyfluoroacrylate (PFA) is a hydrophobic and oleophobic polymer that is soluble in high pressure carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). In this study, the ability of PFA-CO 2 solutions to greatly reduce the apparent permeability of split or cracked Portland cement cylindrical samples is assessed. The apparent permeability values of confined samples were determined before and after treatment with PFA-CO 2 solutions. In four tests, PFA-CO 2 solutions were continuously displacing pure CO 2 from the cracked cement and the decrease in apparent permeability due to PFA adsorption and wettability alteration was monitored. The lowest apparent permeability cracked cement sample (81 nD) was completely sealed with a very small amount of solution. Samples with initial apparent permeabilities of 89 μD and 29.4 mD exhibited 92% and 99% reductions in permeability, respectively, before the experiments had to be stopped because of the excessively large increase in pressure drop. A 50% reduction in apparent permeability was observed with a 3.80 mD sample. Four other split cement samples (bound together with tape) with an initial apparent permeability in the 9.0–70 mD range were removed from the core holder and immersed in a PFA-CO 2 solution for 24 h to allow for PFA adsorption. Then the PFA-CO 2 solution was depressurized, allowing for the deposition of additional PFA from the solution within the crack as the pressure fell below the cloud point pressure of the PFA-CO 2 solution. These four samples were then confined again in a core holder and apparent permeability reductions of 29–93% were observed. Finally, results from these eight experiments indicates that the more substantial reductions in the nD – mD apparent permeability of the cracked cement correlated to lower initial crack permeability, higher PFA concentration, and slower injection rate of the PFA-CO 2 solution into the crack.

Combustion-assisted ink-jet printing of nuclear targets

Advances in target fabrication are critical to high-precision measurements in nuclear physics. This work details the preparation of patterned CeO 2 and ThO 2 architectures and thin-film targets via ink-jet deposition of combustible solutions. The produced targets were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and by alpha-particle spectroscopy for radioactive targets to determine densities. Ink jet printing of the targets, used both ethanol and 2-methoxyethanol as solvents, with cerium or thorium nitrate as the oxidizer and acetylacetone as the fuel. Additionally, we found that the distance between each droplet dispersion (step size) played the most significant role in determining the final pattern uniformity and thickness. A 50 μm step size leads to relatively thick targets with a density of 350 μg/cm 2 . Significant overlap in droplet sizes leads to a heterogeneous target with an undesirable cracked surface structure. In contrast, 150 μm spacing yields thinner (20 μg/cm 2 ) patterned structures with excellent surface coverage. This method of Ink-jet printing provides a straightforward, scalable, and high-efficiency pathway to prepare custom made, high-quality targets for nuclear physics experiments.

Site-Selective Doping and Oxidation State Control of Copper in Gold Nanorods

We report the synthesis of plasmonic gold–copper nanostructures with tunable copper spatial distribution and oxidation state. Au–Cu alloy shells were deposited in aqueous solution onto colloidal gold nanorods that functioned as seeds, and the resulting shell morphology was found to depend strongly on the nanorod aspect ratio. For relatively fat gold nanorods (16 x 31 nm), Au–Cu growth was preferentially localized near the rod midsections, forming belt-like structures, whereas for skinnier nanorods (9 x 32 nm), Au–Cu growth produced patchy surface coverage around the entire rod. The shell thickness was tuned from 1 to 4 nm; upon air exposure, thicker shells exhibited a higher Cu(I) fraction compared to the initial shell. Incorporation of the Au–Cu shell led to pronounced shifts in the plasmonic features of the gold nanorods. These tunable plasmonic Au–Cu nanorods provide a materials basis for Cu-based plasmonic materials in the context of electrochemical CO₂ reduction.

Understanding and mitigating process drift in aerosol jet printing

Aerosol jet printing offers a versatile, high-resolution prototyping capability for flexible and hybrid electronics. Despite its rapid growth in recent years, persistent problems such as process drift hinder the adoption of this technology in production environments. Here we explore underlying causes of process drift during aerosol jet printing and introduce an engineered solution to improve deposition stability. In this work it is shown that the ink level within the cartridge is a critical factor in determining atomization efficiency, such that the reduction in ink volume resulting from printing itself can induce significant and systematic process drift. By integrating a custom 3D-printed cartridge with an ink recirculation system, ink composition and level within the cartridge are better maintained. This strategy allows extended duration printing with improved stability, as evidenced by 30 h of printing over 5 production runs. This provides an important tool for extending the duration and improving reliability for aerosol jet printing, a key factor for integration in practical manufacturing operations.

Computer simulation of astrophysical ices

Understanding the physical chemical processes which affect the structure and composition of astrophysical ices is of central importance to our understanding of the early solar system and early earth. Laboratory experiments on amorphous ice analogues of cometary ices have shown that amorphous ices exhibit a rich and complex morphology. Computer simulation results for ice deposition with the solutes Ne, CH4, and CO are presented. The relative fraction of adsorbed solutes which are subsequently ejected from the growing ice has implications on the composition of comets relative to the composition of the primitive environment in which they formed.
