Models for Single–Site Heterogeneous Catalysts on Carbon: MoO 2 Epoxidation Catalyst Anchored to a Fullerene

Single-site molybdenum dioxo catalysts, fullerenol/MoO 2 , are prepared via grafting precursor (DME)MoO 2 Cl 2 onto a highly polyhydroxylated fullerene (ful) and an isomerically-pure and well-defined fullerene (ful*). These catalyst structures are characterized by ICP-OES, XPS, XANES, EXAFS, DRIFT, Raman, and NMR spectroscopy, and DFT. Mo 3d 5/2 XPS and Mo K-edge XANES assign the oxidation state as Mo(VI). Mo EXAFS data fitting reveals two Mo=O double and two Mo–O single bonds at distances of 1.7 and 1.9 Å, respectively, while an Mo=O stretchingl mode is observed at ~950 cm –1 by DRIFT and Raman spectroscopy. These data align well with DFT computational results, supporting the proposed catalyst structure as Fullerene(-μ-O-) 2 M(=O) 2 . Additionally, DFT provides insight into the energetically favorable grafting sites for an isomerically pure fullerenol. The scope of fullerenol/MoO 2 mediated alkene epoxidation includes abiotic alkenes, natural occurring terpenes, and conjugated olefins. For cyclooctene the rate law is first-order in [Mo], near first order in [olefin] and zero-order in [t-butyl hydroperoxide]. A plausible reaction mechanism involves peroxide addition first and then cyclooctene addition directly across the peroxo bond forming the epoxide product, consistent with DFT computation. Overall, fullerenol/MoO 2 shows promise as a sustainable and structurally well-defined system with versatile catalytic activity and good epoxidation recyclability.

Study of synergistic effects and compositional dependence of hydrogen evolution reaction on MoxNiy alloy thin films in alkaline media

In this paper hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) on the molybdenum-nickel thin films has been studied. The Mo x Ni y thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A change in the crystal structure of the samples prepared at different temperatures was observed. The structure of the samples prepared at 25 °C are bcc or amorphous. The structure of alloys sputtered at 800 °C changed to fcc. Tafel plots were constructed for each Mo x Ni y alloy sample. The mechanism of HER was determined from Tafel slope analysis. Values of charge transfer resistance were also determined by impedance spectroscopy. The compositional dependence of activity and the stability of Mo x Ni y thin films in 1 M NaOH were determined by cycling and chronoamperometry. Our results demonstrate that Mo x Ni y thin films prepared at 800 °C show significantly improved activity compared to pure Mo and Ni metals. On the other hand, Mo x Ni y thin films sputtered at 25°C do not show increased activity in comparison to pure Ni metal. Furthermore, this points to a synergistic effect between fcc Mo and fcc Ni in thin films sputtered at elevated temperatures. Mo 63 Ni 67 thin films alloy prepared at 800 °C shows the best values of catalytic activity for HER from all investigated compositions.

Synthesis and Structural Study of Substituted Ternary Nitrides for Ammonia Production

Over the past few decades, inorganic nitride materials have grown in importance in part due to their potential as catalysts for the synthesis of NH 3 , a key ingredient in fertilizer and precursor to industrial chemicals. Of particular interest are the ternary (ABN) or higher-order nitrides with high metal-to-nitrogen ratios that show promise in enhancing NH 3 synthesis reaction rates and yields via heterogeneous catalysis or chemical looping. Although metal nitrides are predicted to be numerous, the stability of nitrogen triple bonds found in N 2 , especially in comparison to the metal–nitrogen bonds, has considerably hindered synthetic efforts to produce complex nitride compounds. In this study, we present an exhaustive down-selection process to identify ternary nitrides for a promising chemical looping NH 3 production mechanism. We also report on a facile and efficient two-step synthesis method that can produce well-characterized η-carbide Co 3 Mo 3 N/Fe 3 Mo 3 N or filled β-manganese Ni 2 Mo 3 N ternaries, as well as their associated quaternary, (Co,Fe) 3 Mo 3 N, (Fe,Ni) 2 Mo 3 N, and (Co,Ni) 2 Mo 3 N, solid solutions. To further explore the quaternary space, syntheses of (Co,Ni) 3 Mo 3 N (Ni ≤ 10 mol %) and Co 3 (Mo,W) 3 N (W ≤ 10 mol %) were also investigated. The structures of the nitrides were characterized via X-ray powder diffraction. The morphology and compositions were characterized with scanning electron microscopy. In conclusion, the multitude of chemically unique, but structurally related, nitrides suggests that properties such as nitrogen activity may be tunable, making the materials of great interest for NH 3 synthesis schemes.

Characterizing the Self-Assembly Properties of Monoolein Lipid Isosteres

Living cells feature lipid compartments which exhibit a variety of shapes and structures that assist essential cellular processes. Many natural cell compartments frequently adopt convoluted nonlamellar lipid architectures that facilitate specific biological reactions. Improved methods for controlling the structural organization of artificial model membranes would facilitate investigations into how membrane morphology affects biological functions. Monoolein (MO) is a single-chain amphiphile which forms nonlamellar lipid phases in aqueous solution and has wide applications in nanomaterial development, the food industry, drug delivery, and protein crystallization. However, even if MO has been extensively studied, simple isosteres of MO, while readily accessible, have seen limited characterization. An improved understanding of how relatively minor changes in lipid chemical structure affect self assembly and membrane topology could instruct the construction of artificial cells and organelles for modeling biological structures and facilitate nanomaterial-based applications. Here, we investigate the differences in self-assembly and large-scale organization between MO and two MO lipid isosteres. We show that replacing the ester linkage between the hydrophilic headgroup and hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain with a thioesther or amide functional group results in the assembly of lipid structures with different phases not resembling those formed by MO. Using light and cryo-electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, and infrared spectroscopy, we demonstrate differences in the molecular ordering and large-scale architectures of the self-assembled structures made from MO and its isosteric analogues. These results improve our understanding of the molecular underpinnings of lipid mesophase assembly and may facilitate the development of MO-based materials for biomedicine and as model lipid compartments.

Structural Origins of High MoO 3 Solubility in Peraluminous Borosilicate Glasses

Molybdenum (Mo) imposes strict loading limits in conventional borosilicate nuclear waste glasses due to the tendency of tetrahedral molybdate [MoO 4 ] 2− species to phase-separate and crystallize as alkali molybdates. Here, we demonstrate an unprecedented 13.96 wt % (7.51 mol %) MoO 3 solubility in peraluminous sodium aluminoborosilicate glasses a ∼15× increase over their peralkaline counterparts. Using Raman spectroscopy, multinuclear and dipolarcorrelation magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM)-energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), we reveal that Nadeficient, low optical basicity conditions stabilize octahedral MoO 6 units, which polymerize into molybdite-like Mo−O clusters dispersed within the glass matrix. These Mo-rich clusters suppress the formation of depolymerized [MoO 4 ] 2− environments typically responsible for Na 2 MoO 4 precipitation and instead promote the formation of Na 2 Mo 2 O 7 as the saturation phase. Concurrently, Mo solubility drives the conversion of AlO 4 − to higher-coordination AlO 5 species, liberating Na + that is subsequently sequestered in molybdate-rich domains. The combined evolution of Mo coordination, modifier redistribution, and network depolymerization provides a mechanistic basis for the markedly enhanced Mo solubility in peraluminous compositions. These findings establish new structural guidelines for designing aluminoborosilicate waste forms with substantially greater capacity to incorporate Mo-rich nuclear waste streams.

Amorphous zinc–molybdenum–sulfide chalcogel as a long-cycle, high-capacity electrode for lithium-ion batteries

The inherent limitations of intercalation-based electrodes in lithium-ion batteries have prompted the search for alternative materials with higher specific capacities and robust electrochemical stability. Sulfur-based electrodes, despite their high theoretical capacities (1672 mAh g −1 ), typically suffer from poor cycling performance. In this work, zinc molybdenum polysulfide (Zn x Mo 3 S 13 , 0.5 ≤ x), an amorphous semiconductor chalcogel, exhibits high specific capacity and excellent cycling stability. Synchrotron X-ray pair distribution function and extended X-ray absorption fine structure analyses reveal a short-range atomic structure comprising Mo–Mo, M–S (M = Mo, Zn), and S–S bonding motifs. The coordination environment of Mo and S closely resembles that of Mo 3 S 13 clusters, interconnected via S–S bridges and Zn 2+ cations. The Li/Zn x Mo 3 S 13 cell delivers an initial discharge capacity of 844 mAh g −1 at C/3, and retains 386.2 mAh g −1 after 1000 cycles with an average coulombic efficiency of 99.99%. The distribution of relaxation times analysis confirms the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase, which underpins the cell's long-term stability. In conclusion, this outstanding performance is attributed to the synergistic effects of the chalcogel's unique amorphous framework, semiconductive character, Zn-mediated polysulfide anchoring, and structural resilience, positioning Zn x Mo 3 S 13 chalcogel among the most durable pure metal sulfide cathodes reported for next-generation LIBs.

Flow Measurements in Pressurized Helium Gas Cooling Channels

Production of metastable Technetium-99 (Tc-99m) is vital to the medical imaging community. It is a radioactive tracer that emits gamma rays as it decays and it is these gamma rays that are then detected through imaging. Tc-99m is extracted from the decay of Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) which has a half-life of about 2-3 days. One method of generating Mo-99 is using accelerator based technology, through the irradiation of Mo-100 using an electron beam. This is part of the NNSA’s mission to produce Mo-99 commercially, within the US, without the use of highly enriched uranium (HEU) in support of nonproliferation and global security. Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is working with NorthStar medical Radioisotopes (NMR) on their efforts to produce Mo-99 from the irradiation of Mo-100 targets. The NMR target consists of an Inconel window that allows the electron beam to penetrate and irradiate a stack of Mo-100 discs. The irradiation process generates large amounts of heat and requires extensive cooling of the Mo-100 targets and target housing using pressurized helium gas. Before beam on target, the design of the target stack and target housing is tested at LANL using laser based diagnostics experiments. We quantify the velocity field of the helium gas around the target housing to estimate whether the cooling provided is sufficient for the design and to validate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models. Fiber optic imaging is also developed for use during cold testing (without beam on target) as well as during irradiation, to obtain real time information on disc performance.

2D-EFICACY: Control of Metastable 2D Carbide Chalcogenide Heterolayers: Strain and Moire Engineering

The experimental isolation of graphene led to the discovery of an entirely new world of two-dimensional (2D) materials in which the 2D nature often leads to emergent behaviors not seen in bulk systems. 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit physico-chemical properties that depend on the transition metal, polymorph, thickness, and presence and type of defects. Recently, a group of thin (10-100nm) transition metal carbides (TMCs), such as Mo 2 C, has been synthesized that exhibit a thickness-dependent superconducting critical temperature (Tc). These thin TMCs are different from MXenes, another class of 2D materials consisting of few layers of nitrides or carbides (<5nm) produced by chemical etching and delamination. The goal of this renewal proposal is to combine experiment and computation to synthesize and elucidate the guiding principles that control the growth, orientation and strain of heterostacks of thin TMCs and TMDs composed with Nb, Ti and W. We expect to stabilize metastable hybrid phases of TMCs sandwiched between TMDs (H-TMD/Cs) with unprecedented physico-chemical properties. As part of previous DOE-funded work by the Terrones/Sinnott groups, thin (10-100 nm thick) Mo 2 C flakes were successfully synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). By subsequently exposing Mo 2 C to H 2 S, partial chalcogenization was achieved, resulting in heterostacks of MoCx phases and MoS 2 . The formation of MoS 2 led to a deficiency of Mo atoms in the underlying Mo 2 C, resulting in an inhomogeneous phase change from α-Mo 2 C to γ’-MoCx and then to γ-MoC. The γ’-MoCx is a strained metastable phase and the heterostack of all three phases demonstrated an increased Tc relative to that of α-Mo 2 C, from 4 to 6K; its interleaved layered structure consisting of superconducting and semiconducting phases is ideal for future studies of Josephson junction series arrays. Moiré patterns in these heterostacked systems could result in new phenomena, as moiré patterns in bilayer graphene showed unconventional superconductivity and moiré excitons have been observed in twisted TMD heterobilayers. The scientific hypothesis of the proposed synergistic computational and experimental research is that orientation and strain control within confined thin metastable TMCs, sandwiched by stable phases of TMCs and layered TMDs, will depend on kinetic and thermodynamic “knobs” that include fast temperature changes, chalcogen diffusion through preferred crystallographic planes, reaction times, pressure, reactive atmosphere, precursors, and surfactants, which will also tailor properties such as superconductivity, magnetism, ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, and catalytic performance. We will develop the guiding principles for the synthesis and stabilization of metastable H-TMD/Cs based on Nb, Ti and W. In order to validate the hypothesis, four tasks are proposed: The first task will synthesize ultra-thin TMCs based on Nb, W and Ti, by: 1) adapting the CVD method used for Mo 2 C, 2) plasma assisted CVD, 3) defect-mediated CVD processes, and 4) cryo-milling of carbide powders. The second task will accomplish the synthesis and basic physico-chemical characterizations of H-TMD/Cs by chalcogenization of the materials synthesized in task one, and by carbonization of TMDs. H-TMD/Cs will also be investigated for their suitability in energy conversion applications such as supercapacitors, Li and multivalent ion batteries, and electrocatalysts, topics of interest to DoE. These tasks will be carried out in close conjunction with density functional theory (DFT) calculations with insights into energetics, lattice parameters, stability, phase diagrams, band structures, and density of states of H-TMD/Cs. The third task will characterize and evaluate strain and moiré patterns at the interfaces of different H-TMD/Cs by high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR-STEM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and conductive tip atomic force microscopy. Nudged elastic band calculations with DFT will be performed to understand the chalcogen diffusion process, which will provide insights into the interfaces between different phases of TMCs and TMDs. The fourth task aims at quantifying the stability and dynamics of H-TMD/Cs by in-situ TEM and Raman studies under heating, strain, and electrical biasing. Phonon calculations using DFT will provide a basis for interpreting Raman spectra. This coherent framework involving synthesis, characterization, and computation will result in a broad scientific impact for energy related applications. The ability to develop new H-TMD/Cs will enhance a range of applications that include batteries, catalysts, switches, sensors, quantum computing components and smart coatings.

Accelerated fission rate irradiation design, pre-irradiation characterization, and adaptation of conventional PIE methods for U-10Mo and U-17Mo

Metallic U alloys have high U density and thermal conductivity and thus have been explored since the beginning of nuclear power research. Alloys of U with modest amounts of Mo, such as U-10 wt % Mo (U-10Mo), are of particular interest because the γ-U crystal structure in this alloying addition shows prolonged stability in reactor service. Historically, radiation data on U-10Mo fuels were collected in Na fast reactors or lower temperature research reactor conditions, but little is known about irradiation behavior, particularly swelling and creep, at irradiation temperatures between 250 and 500°C. This work discusses the methodology and pre-irradiation characterization results from a U-Mo irradiation campaign performed in the High Flux Isotope Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. U-10Mo and U-17Mo samples irradiations are being completed at temperatures ranging from 250 to 500°C to three targeted fission densities between 2 × 10 20 and 1.5 × 10 21 fissions per cubic centimeter. Swelling measurement of the specimen sizes studied here required development and assessment of new methods for volume determination before and after irradiation. Laser profilometry and X-ray computation tomography (XCT) were used to provide preirradiation characterization of samples to determine the error and applicability of each to determine swelling following irradiation. These outcomes are contextualized through use of BISON simulations performed to assess the predicted expansion of U-Mo fuels subjected to the irradiation conditions of this work. Use of existing BISON fuel performance models predicted a maximum of 7% swelling under the irradiation conditions of this study. Pre-irradiation characterization revealed the as-cast U-Mo fuel samples were uniformly large-grained fully cubic U crystals with small U-C/N bearing precipitates and pores distributed throughout. Samples were found to contain a bulk porosity between .4 and 3% because of the casting process. Local porosity in areas far from large, interconnected pores was found by Slice-and-View to be under .2%. Nanometer-sized precipitates rich in C and N were identified in all samples, likely because of impurities during the fabrication process. Dendritic bands were also observed throughout the samples. These bands were characterized by variable Mo content that deviated from the overall Mo content by 2–3 wt %. No other microstructural features were correlated to these bands. Mechanical properties were found to be slightly strengthened compared to literature reports of bulk U-Mo fuels due to the nano-scale precipitates throughout the sample.

Structural, Optical and Mechanical Properties of Nanocrystalline Molybdenum Thin Films Deposited under Variable Substrate Temperature

Molybdenum (Mo), which is one among the refractory metals, is a promising material with a wide variety of technological applications in microelectronics, optoelectronics, and energy conversion and storage. However, understanding the structure–property correlation and optimization at the nanoscale dimension is quite important to meet the requirements of the emerging nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. In this context, we focused our efforts to derive a comprehensive understanding of the nanoscale structure, phase, and electronic properties of nanocrystalline Mo films with variable microstructure and grain size. Molybdenum films were deposited under varying temperature (25–500 °C), which resulted in Mo films with variable grain size of 9–22 nm. The grazing incidence X-ray diffraction analyses indicate the (110) preferred growth behavior the Mo films, though there is a marked decrease in hardness and elastic modulus values. In particular, there is a sizable difference in maximum and minimum elastic modulus values; the elastic modulus decreased from ~460 to 260–280 GPa with increasing substrate temperature from 25–500 °C. The plasticity index and wear resistance index values show a dramatic change with substrate temperature and grain size. Additionally, the optical properties of the nanocrystalline Mo films evaluated by spectroscopic ellipsometry indicate a marked dependence on the growth temperature and grain size. This dependence on grain size variation was particularly notable for the refractive index where Mo films with lower grain size fell in a range between ~2.75–3.75 across the measured wavelength as opposed to the range of 1.5–2.5 for samples deposited at temperatures of 400–500 °C, where the grain size is relatively higher. The conductive atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies indicate a direct correlation with grain size variation and grain versus grain boundary conduction; the trend noted was improved electrical conductivity of the Mo films in correlation with increasing grain size. The combined ellipsometry and conductive AFM studies allowed us to optimize the structure–property correlation in nanocrystalline Mo films for application in electronics and optoelectronics.

(abstract) Mission Operations and Control Assurance: Flight Operations Quality Improvements

Mission Operations and Command Assurance (MO&CA), a recent addition to flight operations teams at JPL. provides a system level function to instill quality in mission operations. MO&CA's primary goal at JPL is to help improve the operational reliability for projects during flight. MO&CA tasks include early detection and correction of process design and procedural deficiencies within projects. Early detection and correction are essential during development of operational procedures and training of operational teams. MO&CA's effort focuses directly on reducing the probability of radiating incorrect commands to a spacecraft. Over the last seven years at JPL, MO&CA has become a valuable asset to JPL flight projects. JPL flight projects have benefited significantly from MO&CA's efforts to contain risk and prevent rather than rework errors. MO&CA's ability to provide direct transfer of knowledge allows new projects to benefit directly from previous and ongoing experience. Since MO&CA, like Total Quality Management (TQM), focuses on continuous improvement of processes and elimination of rework, we recommend that this effort be continued on NASA flight projects.
