A Dual–Phase Electrolyte for High–Energy Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Dissolution of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) is essential for fast cathode kinetics, but detrimental for anode stability, especially under lean electrolyte conditions. Here in this work, the phase separation phenomenon between solvents with different polarities (tetramethyl sulfone [TMS] and dibutyl ether [DBE]) is utilized to enable the design of a dual-phase electrolyte. High-polarity, high-density TMS–lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide–ammonium trifluoroacetate as the cathode electrolyte strongly solvates LiPSs, which propel the sulfur redox reaction. Moreover, the composite of DBE and a polymeric ion conductor serves as the anode electrolyte. The addition of DBE in the anode side effectively prevents the crossover of corrosive species (LiPSs and ammonia trifluoroacetate), enabling a significant improvement in Li-metal anode stability. The electrode-specific dual-phase electrolyte design provides electrochemical performance superior to conventional electrolytes. Without additional electrode engineering, pouch cells assemble with the dual-phase electrolyte cycle under a lean electrolyte (4 µL mg –1 ) and low-Li-excess condition (N/P = 3) for 120 cycles.

Higher-order SPOP assembly reveals a basis for cancer mutant dysregulation

The speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) functions in the Cullin3-RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL3) as a receptor for the recognition of substrates involved in cell growth, survival, and signaling. SPOP mutations have been attributed to the development of many types of cancers, including prostate and endometrial cancers. Prostate cancer mutations localize in the substrate-binding site of the substrate recognition (MATH) domain and reduce or prevent binding. However, most endometrial cancer mutations are dispersed in seemingly inconspicuous solvent-exposed regions of SPOP, offering no clear basis for their cancer-causing and peculiar gain-of-function properties. Herein, we present the first structure of SPOP in its oligomeric form, uncovering several new interfaces important for SPOP self-assembly and normal function. Given that many previously unaccounted-for cancer mutations are localized in these newly identified interfaces, we uncover molecular mechanisms underlying dysregulation of SPOP function, with effects ranging from gross structural changes to enhanced self-association, and heightened stability and activity.

Direct Air Capture of CO 2 via Reactive Crystallization

Atmospheric CO 2 removal using engineered chemical processes, aka direct air capture (DAC), has become an essential component of our available portfolio for mitigating climate change. Here we describe a promising approach to DAC based on reactive crystallization of atmospheric CO 2 (RC-DAC) with aqueous guanidine and amino acid. Compared to the previously studied phase-changing DAC processes involving initial CO 2 absorption by an aqueous alkaline solvent followed by carbonate crystallization in a second step, RC-DAC combines the CO 2 absorption and carbonate crystallization into a single step. Thus, as the insoluble carbonate salts are removed from solution by crystallization, more CO 2 is pulled from the air into solution, further driving the DAC process. The RC-DAC was performed in a household humidifier as the air–liquid contactor, which can handle solid–liquid slurries effectively. The crystallization was monitored in situ by pH measurements, real-time imaging with a microscope probe, and by Raman spectroscopy, and ex situ by NMR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and total inorganic carbonate analysis. Further, the investigation provided a detailed mechanistic picture of the RC-DAC process, involving formation of carbamate and carbonate anions in solution, followed by sequential crystallization of different guanidinium carbonate phases.

Solution-Grown Ternary Semiconductors: Nanostructuring and Stereoelectronic Lone Pair Distortions in I–V–VI 2 Materials

Alkali pnictogen dichalcogenides–I–V–VI 2 or APnCh 2 –have been identified as promising semiconducting materials for energy conversion devices. However, the controlled nanoscale synthesis and our understanding of the effects of cation ordering and stereochemically active lone pairs on the structures of these ternary compounds remain underdeveloped. Here, we use solution-phase chemistry to synthesize a family of APnCh 2 materials, including LiSbSe 2 , NaSbS 2 , NaSbSe 2 , NaBiS 2 , and NaBiSe 2 . Our approach utilizes alkali metal hydrides (AH) or carboxylates, A(O 2 CR), PnPh 3 , and elemental chalcogens as synthetic precursors and oleylamine or 1-octadecene as solvents. Synthetic manipulation via fine-tuning of reaction temperature enables control over the degree of ordering caused by the Sb 5s 2 lone pair-induced distortions in NaSbS 2 . Pair distribution function analysis demonstrates that the structure of the Sb-containing phases deviates much more from a disordered rock salt structure than that of the Bi-containing phases. This local distortion, induced by the Sb lone pair, leads to a previously unreported noncentrosymmetric NaSbS 2 crystal structure, which is additionally supported by second-harmonic generation measurements. Infrared and multinuclear solid-state NMR spectroscopies show that oleylamine or chelating carboxylates and, in some cases, unreacted precursors (LiH and PnPh 3 ) remain bound to the nanocrystalline surfaces. Further, a deeper understanding of the local atomic environment, long-range ordering, surface chemistry, and optoelectronic properties of these materials may speed up their fundamental study and application.

Pretreatment Effects on the Surface Chemistry of Small Oxygenates on Molybdenum Trioxide

Understanding surface reactions of biomass-derived oxygenates on metal oxides is important for designing catalysts for valorization of biomass. As such, This work elucidated the effect of different pretreatments on molybdenum trioxide (MoO 3 ) to understand how surface reactivity is controlled by the surface oxidation state. The catalyst was pretreated in oxidative, inert, and reducing environments. The inert and reducing pretreatments created oxygen vacancies on the catalyst surface that acted as active sites for the adsorption of oxygenated molecules, with the reducing pretreatment yielding a higher density of these active sites. Exposing the catalyst to an alcoholic solvent such as methanol also led to a partial reduction similar to the inert pretreatment. After pretreatment, the catalyst was exposed to ethanol, acetaldehyde, and crotonaldehyde with subsequent characterization by diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS), temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Density functional theory (DFT) was also used to determine adsorption configurations and energies of ethanol, acetaldehyde, and crotonaldehyde. Reduced surfaces were shown to have a stronger affinity for carbonyls, leading to a higher activity for the aldol condensation of acetaldehyde and ethanol to C 4 molecules. Catalysts pretreated in an oxidative environment were completely inactive toward chemisorption and reaction of acetaldehyde.

Changes in active-site geometry on X-ray photoreduction of a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase active-site copper and saccharide binding

The recently discovered lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are Cu-containing enzymes capable of degrading polysaccharide substrates oxidatively. The generally accepted first step in the LPMO reaction is the reduction of the active-site metal ion from Cu 2+ to Cu + . Here we have used a systematic diffraction data collection method to monitor structural changes in two AA9 LPMOs, one from Lentinus similis (LsAA9_A) and one from Thermoascus auranti­acus (TaAA9_A), as the active-site Cu is photoreduced in the X-ray beam. For LsAA9_A, the protein produced in two different recombinant systems was crystallized to probe the effect of post-translational modifications and different crystallization conditions on the active site and metal photoreduction. We can recommend that crystallographic studies of AA9 LPMOs wishing to address the Cu 2+ form use a total X-ray dose below 3 × 10 4 Gy, while the Cu + form can be attained using 1 × 10 6 Gy. In all cases, we observe the transition from a hexa­coordinated Cu site with two solvent-facing ligands to a T-shaped geometry with no exogenous ligands, and a clear increase of the θ 2 parameter and a decrease of the θ 3 parameter by averages of 9.2° and 8.4°, respectively, but also a slight increase in θ T . Thus, the θ 2 and θ 3 parameters are helpful diagnostics for the oxidation state of the metal in a His-brace protein. On binding of cello-oligosaccharides to LsAA9_A, regardless of the production source, the θ T parameter increases, making the Cu site less planar, while the active-site Tyr—Cu distance decreases reproducibly for the Cu 2+ form. Thus, the θ T increase found on copper reduction may bring LsAA9_A closer to an oligosaccharide-bound state and contribute to the observed higher affinity of reduced LsAA9_A for cellulosic substrates.

A-site occupancy effects on structure, ionic conductivity, and thermodynamic stability of KxMgx/2Ti8−x/2O16

Abstract K x Mg x /2 Ti 8− x /2 O 16 (1.54 ≤ x ≤ 2) hollandite samples synthesized using a conventional solid-state route were used to investigate the effect of structure, ionic conductivity, and thermodynamic stability as a function of A-site (K) occupancy. The ionic conductivity, as measured using AC impedance spectroscopy, decreased as the A-site occupancy (and K content) increased. Titanate hollandite, of the form K x Mg x /2 Ti 8− x /2 O 16 , was measured using high-temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry in sodium molybdate (3Na 2 O $$\bullet$$ ∙ 4MoO 3 ) solvent at 804 $$^\circ{\rm C}$$ ∘ C . The enthalpies of formation are strongly exothermic indicating that they are thermodynamically stable relative to their constituent oxides. Previous studies have demonstrated increased stability with an increase in Cs content at fixed A-site occupancy. This work demonstrated an increase in the stability for the K-bearing hollandite samples with an increase in K content and tunnel occupancy. The measured enthalpies of formation (∆ H f,ox ) were in good agreement with density functional theory (DFT) predictions. Graphical abstract

In Situ Microstructure Characterization of Potassium Di-Phosphate (KDP) Densification during Cold Sintering

In order for ceramic additive manufacturing (AM) to achieve its full potential, it is increasingly important to develop a more rigorous understanding of fundamental phenomena that govern the kinetics and thermodynamics of ceramic AM processes. In the case of additive build processes, such as direct ink write and ceramic extrusion, methods for densifying the resulting green-body product need to be considered to complement the efficiencies of ceramics AM, itself. One densification route, at least for monolithic components, built layer-by-layer, is offered by the recently developed cold sintering process, whereby high-density final product is achieved through addition of a small amount of liquid solvent and application of modest uniaxial compressive stress at relatively low temperature. In situ small-angle X-ray scattering methods and X-ray diffraction have been applied to characterize and quantify the pore morphology evolution during cold sintering for a model system: potassium di-phosphate, KH 2 PO 4 (KDP). It is shown that both temperature and applied stress affect the densification rate, but stress has a stronger effect on the evolving morphology. A regime with an approximate linear densification rate can be identified, yielding an effective densification activation energy of ≈90 kJ/mol.

Applying Two-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy and Principal Component Analysis to Understand How Temperature Affects the Neptunium(V) Absorption Spectrum

The visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) electronic absorption spectrum of neptunium(V) (NpO 2 + ) comprises numerous f-f electronic transitions with mostly undocumented temperature dependencies. The effect of temperature on the absorption spectrum of the pentavalent neptunyl dioxocation (NpO 2 + ) is an important factor to consider with spectrophotometric applications but has often been overlooked. Optical Vis-NIR absorption spectra (400–1700 nm) of Np(V) (0.017–0.89 M) in 1 M nitric acid were evaluated with varying temperatures (T = 10–80 °C). The intensity, position, and overall shape of the bands were sensitive to interactions with the solvent and coordination environment. Numerous temperature-induced isosbestic points were identified resulting from dynamic, overlapping peak shifts. Spectral variations were characterized using principal component analysis (PCA) and 2D correlation spectroscopy (COS). 2D-COS revealed that the absorption band near 1095 nm likely consists of two bands centered near 1087 and 1096 nm, which cannot be explained by current computational methods. 2D-COS analysis also provided an unambiguous assignment of unresolved peaks in the visible region for comparison with computational predictions. PCA was used to identify nonlinearity in the spectral response at elevated Np(V) concentrations ≥ 0.5 M. This unique experimental data and interpretation will foster a deeper understanding of the absorption spectra for complex actinyl ions.

Hydrogenolysis of Polypropylene and Mixed Polyolefin Plastic Waste over Ru/C to Produce Liquid Alkanes

Catalytic depolymerization of polyolefins is a promising chemical recycling strategy to create value-added products from waste plastics, which are accumulating in landfills and the natural environment at unsustainable rates. The cleavage of strong C–C bonds in polyolefins can be performed using a noble metal and hydrogen via a hydrogenolysis mechanism. Previously, we identified ruthenium nanoparticles supported on carbon (Ru/C) as a highly active heterogeneous catalyst for the conversion of polyethylene into liquid and gaseous n-alkanes under mild conditions. In the present study, we investigated the catalytic depolymerization of polypropylene (PP) under mild conditions (200–250 °C, 20–50 bar H 2 ). We demonstrate that Ru/C produces C 5 –C 32 iso-alkane yields above 68% in the absence of solvent and identify trade-offs between product yield and temperature, hydrogen pressure, and reaction time. We apply a rigorous analytical method to quantify all liquid and gaseous alkane products. The characterized catalyst was found to be recyclable after the complete depolymerization of high molecular weight PP (M w ~ 340,000 Da) to liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons and after depolymerization of a postconsumer PP centrifuge tube. Finally, the catalyst was shown to be effective in depolymerizing a mixture of high-density polyethylene and PP to produce a mixture of linear and branched liquid alkanes, demonstrating feasibility for the depolymerization of streams of mixed polyolefin waste.

Grain engineering for efficient near-infrared perovskite light-emitting diodes

Metal halide perovskites show promise for next-generation light-emitting diodes, particularly in the near-infrared range, where they outperform organic and quantum-dot counterparts. However, they still fall short of costly III-V semiconductor devices, which achieve external quantum efficiencies above 30% with high brightness. Among several factors, controlling grain growth and nanoscale morphology is crucial for further enhancing device performance. This study presents a grain engineering methodology that combines solvent engineering and heterostructure construction to improve light outcoupling efficiency and defect passivation. Solvent engineering enables precise control over grain size and distribution, increasing light outcoupling to ~40%. Constructing 2D/3D heterostructures with a conjugated cation reduces defect densities and accelerates radiative recombination. The resulting near-infrared perovskite light-emitting diodes achieve a peak external quantum efficiency of 31.4% and demonstrate a maximum brightness of 929 W sr -1 m -2 . These findings indicate that perovskite light-emitting diodes have potential as cost-effective, high-performance near-infrared light sources for practical applications.

Ammonia-salt solvent promotes cellulosic biomass deconstruction under ambient pretreatment conditions to enable rapid soluble sugar production at ultra-low enzyme loadings

In this paper, we report a novel ammonia : ammonium salt solvent based pretreatment process that can rapidly dissolve crystalline cellulose into solution and eventually produce highly amorphous cellulose under near-ambient conditions. Pre-activating the cellulose I allomorph to its ammonia–cellulose swollen complex (or cellulose III allomorph) at ambient temperatures facilitated rapid dissolution of the pre-activated cellulose in the ammonia-salt solvent ( i.e. , ammonium thiocyanate salt dissolved in liquid ammonia) at ambient pressures. For the first time in reported literature, we used time-resolved in situ neutron scattering methods to characterize the cellulose polymorphs structural modification and understand the mechanism of crystalline cellulose dissolution into a ‘molecular’ solution in real-time using ammonia-salt solvents. We also used molecular dynamics simulations to provide insight into solvent interactions that non-covalently disrupted the cellulose hydrogen-bonding network and understand how such solvents are able to rapidly and fully dissolve pre-activated cellulose III. Importantly, the regenerated amorphous cellulose recovered after pretreatment was shown to require nearly ~50-fold lesser cellulolytic enzyme usage compared to native crystalline cellulose I allomorph for achieving near-complete hydrolytic conversion into soluble sugars. Lastly, we provide proof-of-concept results to further showcase how such ammonia-salt solvents can pretreat and fractionate lignocellulosic biomass like corn stover under ambient processing conditions, while selectively co-extracting ~80–85% of total lignin, to produce a highly digestible polysaccharide-enriched feedstock for biorefinery applications. Unlike conventional ammonia-based pretreatment processes ( e.g. , Ammonia Fiber Expansion or Extractive Ammonia pretreatments), the proposed ammonia-salt process can operate at near-ambient conditions to greatly reduce the pressure/temperature severity necessary for conducting effective ammonia-based pretreatments on lignocellulose.

Soluble aromatic polyimides for film and coating applications

The effect of changing isomeric points of attachment of phenoxy units in the diamine portion of several all-aromatic polyimide systems on the solubility of these materials were investigated. It was found that solubility could be enhanced by the presence of meta and ortho isomer links in the diamine portion of the molecule. The soluble phenoxy-linked polyimides yield tough flexible colorless to pale-yellow transparent films from solutions of chlorinated solvents, with high potential for use in electronic applications.

Moving beyond the Solvent-Tip Approximation to Determine Site-Specific Variations of Interfacial Water Structure through 3D Force Microscopy

Although interfacial solution structure impacts environmental, biological, and technological phenomena, including colloidal stability, protein assembly, heterogeneous nucleation, and water desalination, its molecular details remain poorly understood. Here, we visualize the three-dimensional (3D) hydration structure at the boehmite(010)-water interface using fast force mapping (FFM). Using a self-consistent scheme to decouple long-range tip-sample interactions from short-range solvation forces, we obtain the solution structure with lattice resolution. The results are benchmarked against molecular dynamics simulations that explicitly include the effects of the tip with different levels of approximation and systematically account for tip size, chemistry, and confinement effects. We find four laterally structured water layers within 1 nm of the surface, with the highest water densities at sites adjacent to hydroxyl groups. The key features beyond the first two layers can only be predicted using a full-scale simulation of the boehmite-water-silica system. Our findings further reveal a complex relationship between site-specific chemistry, water density, and long-range particle interactions; and present important advances toward quantitative data interpretation in 3D FFM.

Sorbent Regeneration via Radiofrequency-Assisted Dielectric Heating for Direct Air Capture of CO 2

Direct air capture (DAC) of CO 2 is a negative emission technology that utilizes sorbents requiring a regeneration step for repeated ab(/d)sorption–desorption cycles. Here we report an unconventional approach to desorb captured CO 2 from a porous sorbent using radiofrequency (RF) irradiation for dielectric heating and targeted energy transfer, thus enabling modularity and promoting renewable energy input. Regeneration of composites of functional ionic liquid and metal–organic framework with high CO 2 capacity and enhanced transport is demonstrated under conditions relevant to DAC. RF-assisted dielectric heating at the megahertz frequency range shows effective absorption of electromagnetic energy and consequently rapid release of the captured CO 2 .

Medium controlled aggregative growth as a key step in mesoporous silica nanoparticle formation

Near monodisperse mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) represent a promising and rapidly developing type of mesoporous silica materials; however, the vast data on their synthesis remains unorganized and ill-understood. We systematically studied the formation of MSN under basic and neutral conditions using various temperatures, CTAB concentrations, hydrolyzing agents (triethanolamine, ammonia, phosphate buffers), and media with different colloidal stabilization properties (with ethanol as a cosolvent and monovalent salts). In the typical conditions for the preparation of stable MSN colloids, the particle size was controlled by colloidal stabilization by the medium (solvent type, ionic strength, and surfactant concentration) in agreement with the “aggregative growth” mechanism, rather than by solely the hydrolysis and condensation rates conventionally used for data interpretation in the classical nucleation theory. Medium properties (pH, ion types and concentration, polarity) also defined the efficiency of silica-surfactant cooperative self-assembly, which directly affected the porosity, mesopore size and pore wall thickness. Interestingly, this traditional silica-surfactant route showed a limited effect on the particle size, emphasizing the dominating role of colloidal stabilization in the studied reaction conditions. In situ pH measurements showed that every reaction medium has unique pH evolution profiles depending on the buffer capacity, hydrolysis and condensation rates. Reaction systems that fail to maintain the working pH can lead to non-porous products or undesired particle morphology and size distribution. The established particle formation mechanism allowed us to formulate comprehensive guidelines for preparing relatively concentrated colloids of near monodisperse (PDI 5–15%) mesoporous 30–700 nm silica spheres with variable porosity and mesopore size. Here, these findings will be particularly useful in designing new mesoporous silica-containing materials for biomedical applications.

Unveiling the Degradation Mechanism of High-Temperature Superconductor Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+δ in Water-Bearing Environments

We report the physical properties of copper oxide high-temperature superconductors have been studied extensively, such as its band structure, and doping effects of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+δ (Bi-2212). However, some chemical-related properties of these superconductors are rarely reported, such as their stability in air. Here, we report experiments combined with ab initio calculations that address the effects of water in contact with Bi-2212. The evolution of Bi-2212 flake with exposure to water for different time intervals were tested and characterized by optical microscopy (OM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrical measurements. The thickness of Bi-2212 flakes is gradually decreased in water, and some thin flakes can be completely etched away after a few days. The stability of Bi-2212 in other solvents is also evaluated, including alcohol, acetone, HCl and KOH. The morphology of Bi-2212 flakes is relatively stable in organic solvents. However, the flakes are etched relatively quick in HCl and KOH, especially in acidic environment. Our results imply that hydrogen ion is primarily responsible for the deterioration of their properties. Both TEM and calculation results demonstrate that the atoms in Bi-O plane is relatively stable when compared to the inner atoms in Sr-O, Ca-O and Cu-O planes. This work contributes towards understanding the chemical stability of Bi-2212 superconducting device in environmental medium, which is important for both fundamental studies and practical applications of copper oxide high-temperature superconductors.

Copper-Based Catalysts Confined in Carbon Nanocage Reactors for Condensed Ester Hydrogenation: Tuning Copper Species by Confined SiO 2 and Methanol Resistance

Hydrogenation of aliphatic esters to natural alcohols is an important strategy for the efficient utilization of biomass-derived oils. The synthesis of highly active copper (Cu)-based catalysts is a challenge for condensed-phase ester hydrogenation due to the difficulties in controlling active sites and catalyst deactivation. In this work, a copper-based catalyst confined in a carbon nanocage reactor was successfully designed and prepared. The copper catalyst with 56 wt % SiO 2 exhibited the best performance because of the optimum proportion of Cu + and Cu 0 sites and high dispersion. The interaction between SiO 2 and Cu particles contributes to the formation of Cu + species, which is the key site for the adsorption of carbonyl groups. Meanwhile, the confinement effect of the carbon nanocages effectively inhibited the agglomeration of the copper particles. The catalysts exhibited not only excellent thermal stability but also superior methanol resistance in comparison with the Cu/SiO 2 catalyst. On the basis of the density functional theory (DFT) calculations results, methanol resistance should be attributed to the fewer hydroxyl groups on the catalyst surface, which increase the activation barrier for the dissociation of silica, allowing the stable holding of the copper species in the methanol solvent.
