Sparge Sampling of Molten Salts for Online Monitoring via Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

A method was developed to sample molten salts by sparging to generate and transport aerosols to an isolated instrument for compositional analysis by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Real-time monitoring of molten salt composition is critical to developing molten salt nuclear reactors, which offer enhanced safety and efficiency. In this article, the sparge sampling method is described and compared with sampling using a Collison nebulizer. The size distribution and transport of aerosols produced from molten eutectic NaNO 3 –KNO 3 salt were compared for multiple gas flow rates (75–1200 mL min –1 ) and transport distances (0.68–2.61 m). Both methods produced aerosols ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 μm determined using a cascade impactor. Aerosols were effectively transported without pre- or trace-heating of gas lines, but transport efficiency was reduced by the formation of agglomerates. Sparge sampling was found to use less sample and less gas than a Collison nebulizer while producing a more concentrated aerosol stream (up to 5 μg L –1 ). The effects of laser energy and delay time on the signal quality of LIBS measurements of these aerosols were also studied. High energy and short delay times were found to enhance signal and repeatability, whereas signal-to-background and signal-to-noise ratios were highest at low energy and longer delay times. The capabilities of this system for online monitoring of molten salts were demonstrated with calibrations for Sr and Li with relative standard deviations of 2.6% and 1.5% and limits of detection of 380 and 180 μg g –1 , respectively.

Optimization of La 2 NiO 4+δ Electrolysis Cell Oxygen Electrode through Surfactant-Enabled LaCoO 3±δ Nanocatalyst Deposition

Lanthanum nickelate (LNO) has shown promise as a Cr-resistant air electrode material for SOECs but has suboptimal surface oxygen exchange properties. Nanocoating of the LNO surface with lanthanum cobaltite (LCO) was chosen to improve cell performance as a surface oxygen conductor. The work focused on the implementation of a two-step nano-LCO film deposition utilizing catechol molecules in a porous LNO electrode. The subgoals of the work were to maintain nanosized LCO particles/ grains to increase active surface area and to control the regularity/ homogeneity of the coating across the microstructure. To achieve these goals, a novel surfactant-enhanced liquid infiltration method was utilized, where nucleation sites were spread across the electrode structure to control the location and size of LCO particles. Various catechol surfactant compositions were evaluated for their ability to control the kinetics of nanoparticle deposition and the homogeneity of the coating. Chelated LCO was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), which found a substantial improvement in LCO formation with surfactant addition and determined polymerized norepinephrine to be the best-performing surfactant, with 88.4% pure LCO formed at low temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed LCO nanostructures formed by the two-step infiltration process, showing no impurities and a stable perovskite structure. Deposition kinetics were analyzed using atomic force microscopy (AFM), correlating infiltration times and solution molarity to nanoparticle size and distribution, the results of which were confirmed in symmetrical cell samples by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) testing demonstrated substantial improvements in polarization resistance, where the nanocoating reduced the resistance by ∼55% to 0.152 Ω·cm 2 at 700 °C and 0.039 Ω·cm 2 at 800 °C. Electrical conductivity relaxation (ECR) at this temperature confirmed an improved surface oxygen exchange coefficient of the LCO + LNO heterostructure predicted by the Bode data from EIS, alongside a reduction in activation energy by about 30%.

Novel Cell-Type-Specific Drought-Responsive Proteins in Root Tips of Field-Grown Perennial Switchgrass

The root-tip region of plants, including the root cap, forms the most basal terminal of the root and exhibits a high degree of cellular complexity in terms of morphology, cytological function, and interaction with environmental cues in the soil. Cells in this region follow a developmental trajectory, transitioning from stem cells to meristematic cells, and ultimately to fully differentiated cell types. However, our understanding of root-tip cell-type specific proteomic responses to abiotic stresses, such as drought, particularly under field conditions, remains limited. This study aimed to identify spatially resolved, cell type-specific proteomes in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) root tips under drought stress. Root tips were collected from seven-year-old, field-grown switchgrass ‘Alamo’ plants excavated under both well-watered and long-term drought conditions. Cell type-specific proteins were identified using laser capture microdissection (LCM) coupled with nanoPOTS (Nanodroplet Processing in One Pot for Trace Samples) and nano-LC-MS proteomics analysis. Five distinct cell types were targeted: (1) cells in the quiescent center and stem cell niche (QuC), (2) protodermal epidermal cells (PEC) in the meristematic zone, (3) epidermal cells in the transition and elongation zones above the root cap (Epi), (4) peripheral root cap cells (PRC), forming 2–3 layers below the PEC and 1–2 layers above the root border cells, and (5) columella root cap cells (Col) comprising of the columella initials and a single underlying layer of cells undergoing active growth. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed clear separation among the five targeted cell types, confirming distinct proteomic profiles. Proteins predominantly enriched in each cell type were linked to distinct cellular functions, with QuC cells showing involvement in chromosomal behavior, DNA replication, and mitosis—key processes for stem cell niche regulation. Drought stress resulted in alterations of proteostasis, as evidenced by significant decreases in ribosomal proteins and increases in protein synthesis inhibitors. Moreover, drought stress induced unique cell-type–specific proteins involved in phytohormone biosynthesis and signaling pathways, including auxin, cytokinin, and jasmonic acid. In particular, QuC cells were more highly enriched in proteins associated with DNA repair and mitotic processes. Metabolic pathways related to amino acids, carbohydrates, and lipids were differentially affected in a cell-type–dependent manner, whereas general stress-responsive proteins exhibited consistent changes across all five cell types. Overall, this study provides unique spatially resolved, cell-type-specific proteomic profiles in root tips, representing a significant advancement in our understanding of the cellular mechanisms underlying plant responses to drought stress in natural field conditions.

Ionization-Induced Subcycle Metallization of Nanoparticles in Few-Cycle Pulses

Strong-field laser-matter interactions in nanoscale targets offer unique avenues for the generation and detailed characterization of matter under extreme conditions. Field-driven, sub-cycle ionization-induced metallization of nanoscale solids in intense laser fields has been predicted (Peltz et al. Time-Resolved X-ray Imaging of Anisotropic Nano-plasma Expansion. Phys. Rev. Lett. 2014, 113, 133401), but its observation was hampered by a lack of a smoking gun. Here, we report the ultrafast metallization of isolated dielectric and semiconducting nanoparticles under intense few-cycle laser pulses. The highest-energy electron emission is found to be a decisive proof that shows a characteristic cutoff modification to a metallic limit for intensities high enough to ignite carrier avalanching in the volume of the particles. Furthermore, semiclassical Mean-field Mie Monte-Carlo transport simulations reveal the underlying dynamics and explain the observed evolution by near-field driven electron backscattering from the metallizing target.

Terahertz Nanoimaging of Perovskite Solar Cell Materials

Direct visualization and quantitative evaluation of charge filling in grain boundary (GB) traps of hybrid metal halide perovskites require dynamic conductivity imaging simultaneously at the terahertz (THz) frequency and nanometer (nm) spatial scales not accessible by conventional transport and imaging methods used thus far. Here, in this study, we apply a THz near-field nanoconductivity mapping to the archetypal metal halide perovskite photovoltaic films and demonstrate that it is a powerful tool to reveal distinct dielectric heterogeneity due to charge trapping and degradation at the single GB level. Our approach visualizes the filled defect ion traps by local THz charge conductivity and allows for extracting a quantitative profile of trapping density in the vicinity of GBs with sub-20 nm resolution. Furthermore, imaging material degradation by tracking local nanodefect distributions overtime identifies a distinct degradation pathway that starts from the GBs and propagates inside the grains over time. The single GB, nano-THz conductivity imaging demonstrated here can be extended to benchmark various perovskite materials and devices for their global photoenergy conversion performance and local charge transfer proprieties of absorbers and interfaces.

Fast Proton Transfer and Hydrogen Evolution Reactivity Mediated by [Co 13 C 2 (CO) 24 ] 4–

A common approach to speeding up proton transfer (PT) by molecular catalysts is manipulation of the secondary coordina-tion sphere with proton relays and these enhance overall reaction rates by orders of magnitude. In contrast, heterogenous electrocatalysts have band structures that promote facile PT concerted with electron transfer (ET), known as the Volmer mechanism. Here in this paper, we show that [Co 13 C 2 (CO) 24 ] 4– , containing multiple Co-Co bonds to statistically enhance observed rates of PT, promotes PT on the order of 2.3 × 10 9 M -1 s -1 which suggests a diffusion-limited rate. The fast ET and PT chemistry is at-tributed to the delocalized electronic structure of [Co 13 C 2 (CO) 24 ] 4– . Electrochemical characterization of [Co 13 C 2 (CO) 24 ] 4– in the presence and absence of protons reveals ET kinetics and diffusion behavior similar to other small clusters such as nano-materials and fullerenes.

High Thermoelectric Performance in the New Cubic Semiconductor AgSnSbSe 3 by High-Entropy Engineering

We investigate the structural and physical properties of the AgSn m SbSe m+2 system with m = 1-20 (i.e., SnSe matrix and ~5-50% AgSbSe 2 ) from atomic, nano, and macro length scales. We find the 50:50 composition, with m = 1 (i.e., AgSnSbSe 3 ), forms a stable cation-disordered cubic rock-salt p-type semiconductor with a special multi-peak electronic valence band structure. AgSnSbSe 3 has an intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity of ~0.47 W m -1 K -1 at 673 K owing to the synergy of cation disorder, phonon anharmonicity, low phonon velocity, and low-frequency optical modes. Furthermore, Te alloying on Se sites creates a quinary high-entropy NaCl-type solid solution AgSnSbSe 3-x Te x with randomly disordered cations and anions. The extra point defects and lattice dislocations lead to glass-like lattice thermal conductivities of ~0.32 W m -1 K -1 at 723 K and higher hole carrier concentration than AgSnSbSe 3 . Concurrently, the Te alloying promotes greater convergence of the multiple valence band maxima in AgSnSbSe 1.5 Te 1.5 , the composition with the highest configurational entropy. Facilitated by these favorable modifications, we achieve a high average power factor of ~9.54 μW cm -1 K -2 (400-773 K), a peak thermoelectric figure of merit ZT of 1.14 at 723 K, and a high average ZT of ~1.0 over a wide temperature range of 400-773 K in AgSnSbSe 1.5 Te 1.5 .

Stabilization of NbTe 3 , VTe 3 , and TiTe 3 via Nanotube Encapsulation

The structure of MX 3 transition metal trichalcogenides (TMTs, with M a transition metal and X a chalcogen) is typified by one-dimensional (1D) chains weakly bound together via van der Waals interactions. This structural motif is common across a range of M and X atoms (e.g. NbSe 3 , HfTe 3 , TaS 3 ), but not all M and X combinations are stable. We report here that three new members of the MX 3 family which are not stable in bulk, specifically NbTe 3 , VTe 3 , and TiTe 3 , can be synthesized in the few- to single-chain limit via nano-confined growth within the stabilizing cavity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) reveal the chain-like nature and the detailed atomic structure. The synthesized materials exhibit behavior unique to few-chain quasi-1D structures, such as multi-chain spiraling and a trigonal anti-prismatic rocking distortion in the single-chain limit. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide insight into the crystal structure and stability of the materials, as well as their electronic structure.

Terahertz Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy of Molecular Assemblies and Nanostructures

Chemical, physical, biological and materials engineering disciplines use a variety of chiroptical spectroscopies to probe geometrical and optical asymmetry in molecules and particles. Electronic (ECD) and vibrational (VCD) circular dichroism are the most common of these techniques and collectively enable the studies of electronic and vibronic transitions with energies between 0.1 and 5.0 eV. The vibrational states with characteristic energies in the range of 0.001–0.01 eV carry valuable information about concerted intermolecular motions in molecules and crystals involving multiple atoms. These vibronic transitions located in the terahertz (THz) part of the spectrum become increasingly more important for the chemistry, physics, and biology of complex molecules and materials However, the methodology and hardware of THz circular dichroism (TCD) are much less developed than the chiroptical spectroscopies for ultraviolet, visible, near- and mid infrared photons. In this report we provide theoretical foundations, practical implementations, comparative assessments, and exemplary applications of TCD spectroscopy. We show that the sign, intensity, and position of TCD peaks are highly sensitive to the three-dimensional structure and long-range organization of molecular crystals, which offer unique capabilities to study (bio) molecules, their crystals, and nanoscale assemblies and apply the novel data processing methodologies. TCD also offers a convenient toolbox to identify new physical phenomena, such as chiral phonons and their propagation in nanostructured matter. We also discuss the major challenges, emerging opportunities and promising research directions, including broad investigation of chiral phonons observed in chiral (nano) crystals and emerging machine learning methodologies for TCD in biological and nanoscale structures. Ubiquity of low-frequency vibrations with rotational components in biomolecular structures, combined with sharpness of peaks in TCD spectra, enables a variety of technological translations.

Encapsulating Semiconductor Quantum Dots in Supramolecular Cages Enables Ultrafast Guest–Host Electron and Vibrational Energy Transfer

In the field of supramolecular chemistry, host- guest systems have been extensively explored to encapsulate a wide range of substrates, owing to emerging functionalities in nano-confined space that cannot be achieved in dilute solutions. However, host-guest chemistry is still limited to encapsulation of small guests. Herein, we construct a water-soluble metallo-supramolecular hexagonal prism with a large hydrophobic cavity by anchoring multiple polyethylene glycol chains onto the building blocks. Then, assembled prisms are able to encapsulate quantum dots (QDs) with diameters of less than 5.0 nm. Furthermore, we find that the supramolecular cage around each QD strongly modifies the photophysics of the QD by universally increasing the rates of QD relaxation processes via ultrafast electron and vibrational energy transfer. In conclusion, taken together, these efforts expand the scope of substrates in host-guest systems and provide a new approach to tune the optical properties of QDs.

Tailoring Local Chemical Ordering via Elemental Tuning in High-Entropy Alloys

Due to the large multi-elemental space desired for property screening and optimization, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) hold greater potential over conventional alloys for a range of applications, such as structural materials, energy conversion, and catalysis. However, the relationship between the HEA composition and its local structural/elemental configuration is not well understood, particularly in noble-metal-based HEA nanomaterials, hindering the design and development of nano-HEAs in energy conversion and catalysis applications. In this work, we determined precise atomic-level structural and elemental arrangements in model HEAs composed of RhPtPdFeCo and RuPtPdFeCo to unveil their local characteristics. Notably, by changing just one constituent element in the HEA (Rh to Ru), we found dramatic changes in the elemental arrangement from complete random mixing to a local single elemental ordering feature. Additionally, we demonstrate that the local ordering in RuPtPdFeCo can be further controlled by varying the Ru concentration, allowing us to toggle between local Ru clustering and distinct heterostructures in multicomponent systems. Overall, our study presents a practical approach for manipulating local atomic structures and elemental arrangements in noble-metal-based HEA systems, which could provide in-depth knowledge to mechanistically understand the functionality of noble-metal-based HEA nanomaterials in practical applications.

Real-Time Elemental and Isotopic Measurements of Molten Salt Systems through Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Molten salt reactors are an emerging advanced nuclear reactor concept in which the fuel is dissolved into the working fluid in the form of a high-temperature molten salt. The complex, mobile, and corrosive nature of this fluid presents a fundamental challenge for analytical measurements. Tracking species throughout the reactor is important for ensuring proper operation. This article presents laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) used to monitor the elemental composition of a molten salt and corresponding hydrogen isotopic shifts in real-time. A NaNO 3 –KNO 3 eutectic salt was saturated with protium and deuterium gases, then the effluent aerosol stream formed using an argon sparging vessel was monitored with LIBS. This modular LIBS system permitted several spectrometers to be used simultaneously to capture high-resolution isotopic shifts and provide broadband elemental coverage. Further, the results exhibit how LIBS can be used to understand salt–gas chemical and physical interactions such as diffusion. Furthermore, LIBS’ broad elemental coverage can provide greater insight into the chemical reactions within the salt vessel such as the formation of water vapor by monitoring hydrogen and oxygen signatures simultaneously. Ultimately, this study demonstrates the analytical possibilities of LIBS for real-time monitoring of isotopes and elemental composition in molten salt systems.

Titanium-, Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Flowers Catalyze Electrochemical Nitrate Reduction Reaction to Ammonia

An emerging design heuristic for electrochemical nitrate reduction (NO 3 RR) catalysts is synthesizing electron-deficient sites to facilitate binding of electron-rich NO 3 – . However, this rule has rarely been applied to metal-, nitrogen-doped carbon (MNC) catalysts. Titanium (Ti), with low electronegativity and high NO 3 RR reactivity, is a compelling MNC candidate. To date, atomically dispersed TiN x motifs have eluded synthesis due to the strong oxophilicity of Ti. Here, in this work, we leverage nitrogen-rich carbon flowers (CF) to overcome synthetic challenges and produce Ti-, N-doped carbon flower (TiCF) catalysts. Advanced materials characterization demonstrates that TiCF catalysts are a mixed phase material with 3/4 of Ti atoms in TiO 2 -like nanoparticles and 1/4 of Ti atoms in novel, atomically dispersed TiN x sites. TiCF achieves 61 ± 7% NH 3 -selectivity at −0.70 V vs RHE and 14 ± 5 mA/cm 2 to NH 3 formation (| j NH 3 |) at −0.85 V vs RHE in (0.1 M NaOH + 0.1 M NaNO 3 + 0.45 M Na 2 SO 4 ) electrolyte. Control studies show both CF morphology and Ti sites are essential for high NO 3 RR activity. Density functional theory calculations attribute the NO3RR reactivity to TiN x , which facilitates multiple bond formation with surface intermediates to promote favorable NH3 synthesis pathways. Thus, TiCF exhibits 60× higher | j NH 3 | values than bulk Ti and NH 3 yield rates (>0.06 mmol NH 3 /h/cm 2 ) that are competitive with state-of-the-art MNC catalysts (e.g., FeNC, CuNC). TiCF introduces a new class of Ti electrocatalysts, advancing the MNC design space and sustainable NH 3 production.

A Simple and Flexible Infusion Platform for Automated Native Mass Spectrometry Analysis

High throughput native mass spectrometry analysis of proteins and protein complexes has been enabled by recent development of infusion and liquid chromatography (LC) systems, which often include complete LC pumps without fully utilizing their gradient flows. We demonstrated a lower-cost infusion cart for native mass spectrometry applications using a single isocratic solvent pump that can operate at both nano- and high-flow configurations (0.05-150 $μ$L/min) for both infusion and online buffer exchange experiments. In conclusion, the platform is controlled via open-source software and can potentially be expanded for customized experimental designs, offering a lower cost alternative to laboratories with limited budgets and/or needs in student training.

Simulating Marine Ecosystem Dynamics and Biogeochemical Cycling With Multiple Plankton Functional Types

Current representations of marine ecosystems in Earth System Models are greatly simplified, neglecting key interactions between dynamic food webs, biogeochemistry, and climate change. We use the Marine Biogeochemistry Library code base within the Community Earth System Model 2.2.2 to create an expanded ecosystem model with eight phytoplankton groups and four zooplankton size classes (MARBL-8P4Z). Incorporating more specific plankton types and size classes has the potential to capture a wider range of possible behaviors of the ecosystem, its complex interactions with biogeochemistry, and its feedback to climate change. It also permits stronger observational constraints, including in situ group-specific biomass and various observational estimates of plankton community composition. MARBL-8P4Z broadly captures observed global-scale patterns in biomass and community composition for both phytoplankton and zooplankton, with a good performance in simulating broad biogeochemistry fields. The model shows comparable spatial patterns and magnitudes to the observed picophytoplankton biomass (Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, picoeukaryotes), and captures the seasonal cycle of mesozooplankton biomass. Picophytoplankton groups and microzooplankton dominate biomass and production in oligotrophic, subtropical regions, while nano-phytoplankton, diatoms and the larger zooplankton groups prevail at higher latitudes and within upwelling zones. The model simulates reasonable energy transfer efficiency through the food web, with tight linkages between the phytoplankton community composition, zooplankton grazing, and carbon export, with the potential to link to fisheries models. Thus, MARBL-8P4Z has the potential to account for key climate-driven ecological shifts in the plankton that will modify ocean biogeochemistry in the future.

Experimental evolution reveals nitrate tolerance mechanisms in Desulfovibrio vulgaris

Elevated nitrate in the environment inhibits sulfate reduction by important microorganisms of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Several SRB may respire nitrate to survive under elevated nitrate, but how SRB that lack nitrate reductase survive to elevated nitrate remains elusive. To understand nitrate adaptation mechanisms, we evolved 12 populations of a model SRB (i.e., Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough, DvH) under elevated NaNO 3 for 1000 generations, analyzed growth and acquired mutations, and linked their genotypes with phenotypes. Nitrate-evolved (EN) populations significantly (p < 0.05) increased nitrate tolerance, and whole-genome resequencing identified 119 new mutations in 44 genes of 12 EN populations, among which six functional gene groups were discovered with high mutation frequencies at the population level. In this work, we observed a high frequency of nonsense or frameshift mutations in nitrosative stress response genes (NSR: DVU2543, DVU2547, and DVU2548), nitrogen regulatory protein C family genes (NRC: DVU2394-2396, DVU2402, and DVU2405), and nitrate cluster (DVU0246-0249 and DVU0251). Mutagenesis analysis confirmed that loss-of-functions of NRC and NSR increased nitrate tolerance. Also, functional gene groups involved in fatty acid synthesis, iron regulation, and two-component system (LytR/LytS) known to be responsive to multiple stresses, had a high frequency of missense mutations. Additionally, mutations in those gene groups could increase nitrate tolerance through regulating energy metabolism, barring entry of nitrate into cells, altering cell membrane characteristics, or conferring growth advantages at the stationary phase. This study advances our understanding of nitrate tolerance mechanisms and has important implications for linking genotypes with phenotypes in DvH.

Tuning of oscillation modes by controlling dimensionality of spin structures

Abstract Harmonic oscillation of spin structures is a physical phenomenon that offers great potential for applications in nanotechnologies such as nano-oscillators and bio-inspired computing. The effective tuning of oscillations over wide frequency ranges within a single ferromagnetic nanoelement is a prerequisite to realize oscillation-based nanodevices, but it has not been addressed experimentally or theoretically. Here, utilizing a vortex core structure, one of spin structures, we report a drastic change of oscillation modes over the frequency range from MHz to sub-GHz in a 100 nm-thick permalloy circular disk. Oscillation mode was found to considerably depend on the shape and dimension of the vortex core structure and various oscillation modes over a wide range of frequencies appeared with dimensional change in the vortex core structure. This work demonstrates that oscillation modes of the vortex core structure can be effectively tuned and opens a way to apply spin structures to oscillation-based technology.
