Preparation of ternary hydrophobic magnetic deep eutectic solvents and an investigation into their physicochemical properties

Hydrophobic magnetic deep eutectic solvents (HMDESs) are considered a subclass of DESs comprised of a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA), hydrogen bond donor (HBD), and a metal halide salt. These DESs can be easily manipulated by an external magnet and employed in numerous applications including liquid–liquid extractions and catalysis. In this work, a total of forty-six (46) HMDESs were prepared and their physicochemical properties studied. Six structurally unique ionic and non-ionic HBAs were combined with lanthanide and transition metal halide salts and twelve different HBDs to prepare room temperature eutectic solvents. The viscosities of HMDESs ranged from 46 centipoise (cP) to 124,600 cP at 23 °C. Their magnetic susceptibilities, studied by superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry and a magnetic susceptibility balance, varied from 3.03 Bohr magnetons (μB) to 9.32 μB when the type of metal halide salt and its molar ratio were varied. Thermal stabilities ranged from 151.1 °C to 308.5 °C at 5% mass loss. Further, all HMDESs comprised of ionic HBA were observed to be insoluble in hexane. This study demonstrates that the physicochemical properties of HMDESs can easily be tailored by varying the DES constituents as well as their molar ratio. The structural tunability of these solvents make them highly attractive candidates for a plethora of applications ranging from extractions to electrochromic applications, where HMDESs can be easily manipulated by an external magnetic field.

Neutron capture of UO 2 targets prepared by spin-coating assisted combustion synthesis

Two uranium dioxide (UO 2 ) targets of (414 ± 23) nm and (1092 ± 93) nm thicknesses were prepared on 6061 aluminum alloy and puratronic grade aluminum backing materials. The targets were deposited with a novel method combining spin coating and solution combustion synthesis (SCS). The target layers consisted of small (3–7 nm) UO 2 grains and uniformly distributed ultra-small (1–3 nm) pores. The prepared targets were tested at the Los Alamos National Laboratory’s LANSCE facility for neutron irradiation damage and suitability for neutron capture experiments. The samples showed no signs of target material loss after the irradiation. However, irradiation caused a significant increase in the grain size (4–10 nm), as well as upward mass diffusion and coalescence of the pores due to the thermal spikes. The magnesium in the aluminum 6061 alloy backing also diffused into the UO 2 layer during neutron irradiation. The structural changes in the target after the irradiation do not affect the data from neutron capture. As a result, the new method can be used more broadly to prepare other actinide targets for nuclear physics experiments.

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.

The concentration of BTEX in selected urban areas of Malaysia during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) are air pollutants that harm human health. This study aims to identify BTEX concentrations before the lockdown known as the Movement Control Order was imposed (BMCO), during the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO), and then during the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO). These orders were introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia. The study utilised data measured by the continuous monitoring of BTEX using online gas chromatography instruments located at three urban area stations. Here, the results showed that the BTEX concentrations reduced by between –38% and –46% during the MCO compared to the BMCO period. The reduction of human mobility during the MCO and CMCO influenced the lower BTEX concentrations recorded at a station within the Kuala Lumpur area. The results of the BTEX diagnostic ratios and principal component analysis showed that the major source of BTEX, especially during the BMCO and CMCO periods, was motor vehicle emissions. Further investigation, using correlation analysis and polar plots, showed that the BTEX concentrations were also influenced by meteorological variables such as wind speed, air temperature and relative humidity.

Spatiotemporal Route to Understanding Metal Halide Perovskitoid Crystallization

Here, a spatiotemporal experimental route is reported for the antisolvent vapor diffusion crystal growth of metal halide perovskitoids. A computational analysis combining automated image capture and diffusion modeling enables the determination of the critical concentrations required for nucleation and crystal growth from a single experiment. Five different solvent systems and ten distinct organic ammonium iodide salts were investigated with lead iodide, from which nine previously unreported compounds were discovered. Automated image capture of the mother liquor and antisolvent vials was used to determine changes in solution meniscus positions and detect the nucleation event location. Matching the observations to a numerical solution of Fick's second law diffusion model enables the calculation of reactant, solvent, and antisolvent concentrations at both the time and position of the first stable nucleation and crystal growth. A machine learning model was trained on the resulting data, and it reveals solvent- and amine-specific crystallization tendencies. Solvent systems that interact more weakly with dissolved lead species promote crystallization, while those with stronger interactions can prevent crystallization through increased solubilities. Organic amines that interact more strongly with inorganic components and exhibit greater rigidity are more likely to be incorporated into crystalline products.

Hyperstoichiometric Uranium Dioxides: Rapid Synthesis and Irradiation-Induced Structural Changes

Uranium dioxide (UO 2 ), the primary fuel for commercial nuclear reactors, incorporates excess oxygen forming a series of hyperstoichiometric oxides. Thin layers of these oxides, such as UO 2.12 , form readily on the fuel surface and influence its properties, performance, and potentially geologic disposal. This work reports a rapid and straightforward combustion process in uranyl nitrate–glycine–water solutions to prepare UO 2.12 nanomaterials and thin films. We also report on the investigation of the structural changes induced in the material by irradiation. Despite the simple processing aspects, the combustion synthesis of UO 2.12 has a sophisticated chemical mechanism involving several exothermic steps. Raman spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements reveal the formation of a complex compound containing the uranyl moiety, glycine, H 2 O, and NO 3 – groups in reactive solutions and dried combustion precursors. Combustion diagnostic methods, gas-phase mass spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and extracted activation energies from DSC measurements show that the rate-limiting step of the process is the reaction of ammonia with nitrogen oxides formed from the decomposition of glycine and uranyl nitrate, respectively. However, the exothermic decomposition of the complex compound determines the maximum temperature of the process. In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging and electron diffraction measurements show that the decomposition of the complex compound directly produces UO 2 . The incorporation of oxygen at the cooling stage of the combustion process is responsible for the formation of UO 2.12 . Spin coating of the solutions and brief annealing at 670 K allow the deposition of uniform films of UO 2.12 with thicknesses up to 300 nm on an aluminum substrate. Irradiation of films with Ar 2+ ions (1.7 MeV energy, a fluence of up to 1 × 10 17 ions/cm 2 ) shows unusual defect-simulated grain growth and enhanced chemical mixing of UO 2.12 with the substrate due to the high uranium ion diffusion in films. As a result, the method described in this work allows the preparation of actinide oxide targets for fundamental nuclear science research and studies associated with stockpile stewardship.

Irradiation-enhanced Interactions at UO 2 /Al 2 O 3 /Al Interfaces

Combustion synthesis is used to prepare thin UO 2 films on aluminum alloy substrates. This simple preparation method involves electrospraying uranyl nitrate + acetylacetone + 2-methoxyethanol solution on the substrate, followed by a short annealing at 350 or 550 °C. The irradiation of films with a 40 Ar 2+ ion beam (energy of 1.7 MeV and fluences of 7.7 × 10 16 and 1.3 × 10 17 ions/cm 2 ) is conducted to investigate irradiation-induced restructuring processes. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) investigations show that the annealing temperature significantly influences the crystallinity and stability of materials during irradiation. A small amount of Mg in the alloy substrate diffuses into the amorphous Al 2 O 3 interfacial layer between the film and the substrate. Local thermal spikes from the incoming ions facilitate the irradiation-induced mixing of immiscible Al 2 O 3 and UO 2 for the materials prepared at 350 °C. This mass diffusion produces relatively large cavities at the interface. Selective diffusion of a more significant amount of Mg for the materials prepared at 550 °C suppresses the mixing of the Al 2 O 3 interlayer with the film but forms Mg y U 1–y O 2±x solid solutions during irradiation. Local thermal heating triggers the precipitation of a discontinuous crystalline MgO layer close to the film surface. As a result, the enhanced and selective diffusion of Mg into the film makes the materials prepared at 550 °C more robust and mechanically stable than those prepared at 350 °C.

3D Volumetric Structural Hierarchy Induced by Colloidal Polymerization of a Quantum-Dot Ionic Liquid Monomer Conjugate

Hierarchically structured emissive quantum dot (CdS/CdSe) poly(ionic liquid) composites are synthesized through colloidal polymerization within a lyotropic liquid crystal, yielding a solvent-responsive nanoparticle (NP) composite possessing four ordered structural motifs. The composite is prepared by coassembling an amphiphilic ionic liquid (IL) monomer, 3-decyl-1-vinylimidazolium chloride, [C 10 VIm + ][Cl - ], and IL monomer, 3-(10-mercaptodecyl)-1-vinylimidazolium bromide surface-functionalized quantum dots, QD-[SC 10 VIm + ][Br - ], in 30 wt % water. Photo (UV)-initiated free radical polymerization serves to form a colloidal copolymer that collimates pairs of QDs within the core of large cylinders (average diameter = 21 nm and length = 422 nm), as evidenced by ultrasmall-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS). As revealed by continuous wave terahertz multispectral reconstructive 3-D imaging, the subsurface structure along the cylinder axis undergoes dynamic rearrangement between 2D hexagonal and cubic packing. The polymerized ionic liquid sheath surrounding the QDs is composed of concentric hexagonally perforated lamellae (HPL) with an interlamellar repeat distance of 3 nm, as determined by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The encapsulated QDs retain crystallinity (TEM and WAXS) and emission characteristics (photoluminescence spectroscopy, lambda(EM) = 638 nm). Phenomenological time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau calculations verify the mesoscale cylinders arise from the topological constraints imposed by the in-plane perforations of the polymerized ionic liquid as it wraps around the hard (unmalleable) spherical QDs.

Irradiation-Driven Restructuring of UO 2 Thin Films: Amorphization and Crystallization

Combustion synthesis in uranyl nitrate–acetylacetone–2-methoxyethanol solutions was used to deposit thin UO 2 films on aluminum substrates to investigate the irradiation-induced restructuring processes. Thermal analysis revealed that the combustion reactions in these solutions are initiated at ~160 °C. The heat released during the process and the subsequent brief annealing at 400 °C allow the deposition of polycrystalline films with 5–10 nm UO 2 grains. The use of multiple deposition cycles enables tuning of the film thicknesses in the 35–260 nm range. Irradiation with Ar 2+ ions (1.7 MeV energy and a fluence of up to 1 × 10 17 ions/cm 2 ) is utilized to generate a uniform distribution of atomic displacements within the films. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and alpha-particle emission spectroscopy showed that the films were stable under irradiation and did not undergo sputtering degradation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the stoichiometry and uranium ionic concentrations remain stable during irradiation. The high-resolution electron microscopy imaging and electron diffraction analysis demonstrated that at the early stages of irradiation (below 1 × 10 16 ion/cm 2 ) UO 2 films show complete amorphization and beam-induced densification (sintering), resulting in a pore-free disordered film. Prolonged irradiation (5 × 10 16 ion/cm 2 ) is shown to trigger a crystallization process at the surface of the films that moves toward the UO 2 /Al interface, converting the entire amorphous material into a highly crystalline film. This work reports on an entirely different radiation-induced restructuring of the nanoscale UO 2 compared to the coarse-grained counterpart. The preparation of thin UO 2 films deposited on Al substrates fills an area of national need within the stockpile stewardship program of the National Nuclear Security Administration and fundamental research with actinides. Here, the method reported in this work produces pure, robust, and uniform thin-film actinide targets for nuclear science measurements

Irradiation Driven Restructuring of Nanocrystalline ThO 2 and Th 1–x U x O 2 Thin Films

Irradiation induced structural changes of actinide oxide materials is a key consideration in their development and use as nuclear fuels. This study reported on the synthesis of ThO 2 and Th 1–x U x O 2 (x = 0.15, 0.50) thin films, fabricated using electrospray-assisted solution combustion synthesis, and their responses to ion irradiation. Krypton ion irradiations, up to a fluence of 1 × 10 16 ions/cm 2 , were carried out to simulate radiation damage induced by fission products in a reactor environment. Structural and chemical changes induced by irradiation were analyzed using high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). It was determined that the extent and nature of irradiation-induced damage are strongly correlated with the uranium content. ThO 2 films were most susceptible to radiation-induced damage, with significant cavity formation and delamination from the substrate at high fluence. Of the compositions studied, Th 0.85 U 0.15 O 2 films showed the highest stability, characterized by moderate grain growth and the absence of voids or severe defect structures. In contrast, Th 0.5 U 0.5 O 2 films accumulated extensive damage, including the formation of a nanocrystalline central region. EELS analysis indicated that oxygen displacement is the primary driver of structural degradation in Th 0.5 U 0.5 O 2 films. α-particle spectroscopy confirmed minimal actinide loss across all compositions, underscoring the mechanical robustness of the films. These findings provide insight into the irradiation-induced damage mechanisms in Th O2 and Th 1–x U x O 2 systems, supporting their development as potential materials for nuclear fuels and irradiation-tolerant thin film targets in nuclear physics measurements.

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.

Polymersomes Decorated with the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Receptor-Binding Domain Elicit Robust Humoral and Cellular Immunity

The COVID-19 pandemic underscores the need for rapid, safe, and effective vaccines. In contrast to some traditional vaccines, nanoparticle-based subunit vaccines are particularly efficient in trafficking antigens to lymph nodes, where they induce potent immune cell activation. Here, we developed a strategy to decorate the surface of oxidation-sensitive polymersomes with multiple copies of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) to mimic the physical form of a virus particle. We evaluated the vaccination efficacy of these surface-decorated polymersomes (RBD surf ) in mice compared to RBD-encapsulated polymersomes (RBD encap ) and unformulated RBD (RBD free ), using monophosphoryl-lipid-A-encapsulated polymersomes (MPLA PS) as an adjuvant. While all three groups produced high titers of RBD-specific IgG, only RBD surf elicited a neutralizing antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 comparable to that of human convalescent plasma. Moreover, RBD surf was the only group to significantly increase the proportion of RBD-specific germinal center B cells in the vaccination-site draining lymph nodes. Both RBD surf and RBD encap drove similarly robust CD4 + and CD8 + T cell responses that produced multiple Th1-type cytokines. We conclude that a multivalent surface display of spike RBD on polymersomes promotes a potent neutralizing antibody response to SARS-CoV-2, while both antigen formulations promote robust T cell immunity.

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

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

Surface-Functionalized, Two-Dimensional Polymer Electrochromic Layers as Ultrafast, Multi-State Infrared Optical Gates

Electrochromic devices have widespread application potential, but the currently available switching speeds limit broad real-world implementation of this technology. Here, we report surface-engineered two-dimensional polymers with ionophilic pores that offer unprecedented switching speeds in solid-state, two-terminal, electrochromic devices. In particular, we demonstrate that a crystalline donor–acceptor 2DP functionalized with ethylene glycol oligomers exhibits multistate infrared absorption that is 4× faster (t c = 320 ms) with 3× coloration efficiency (491 cm 2 C –1 ) compared to an alkyl functionalized 2DP constructed from the same chromophores. The functionalized nanoporous surfaces enable rapid switching in these materials under either oxidative or reductive conditions, allowing us to access a range of robust, stable optical responses in a single electrochromic layer. These attributes led us to leverage surface-functionalized 2DPs as multistate infrared logic gates. Collectively, this work demonstrates that surface engineering of nanoporous crystalline lattices is a promising approach to co-optimize the electronic and ionic conductivities required to achieve rapidly switchable electrochromic layers. Beyond speed and efficiency, the demonstration of multistate infrared characteristics shows that electrochromic frameworks are useful in integrated optoelectronic circuits. This positions surface-engineered 2DPs as improved electrochromic coatings and a new material platform for photonic information processing and adaptive devices.

Metabolic network reconstruction of Chlamydomonas offers insight into light-driven algal metabolism

Metabolic network reconstruction encompasses existing knowledge about an organism’s metabolism and genome annotation, providing a platform for omics data analysis and phenotype prediction. The model alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is employed to study diverse biological processes from photosynthesis to phototaxis. Recent heightened interest in this species results from an international movement to develop algal biofuels. Integrating biological and optical data, we reconstructed a genome-scale metabolic network for this alga and devised a novel light-modeling approach that enables quantitative growth prediction for a given light source, resolving wavelength and photon flux. We experimentally verified transcripts accounted for in the network and physiologically validated model function through simulation and generation of new experimental growth data, providing high confidence in network contents and predictive applications. The network offers insight into algal metabolism and potential for genetic engineering and efficient light source design, a pioneering resource for studying light-driven metabolism and quantitative systems biology

Immune-compatible designs of semiconducting polymers for bioelectronics with suppressed foreign-body response

One of the greatest obstacles to achieving implantable electronics with long-term functionality and minimized inflammatory reactions is the immune-mediated foreign-body response (FBR). Recently, semiconducting polymers with mixed electron–ion conductivity have been demonstrated as promising candidates to achieve direct electrical interfacing on bio-tissues. However, there is limited understanding of their immune compatibility in vivo, and strategies for minimizing the FBR through molecular design remain underexplored. Here we introduce a set of molecular design strategies for enhancing the immune compatibility of semiconducting polymers. Specifically, we show that selenophene, when incorporated in the backbone, can mitigate the FBR by suppressing macrophage activation. In addition, side-chain functionalization with immunomodulatory groups decreases the FBR further by downregulating the expression of inflammatory biomarkers. Together, our synthesized polymers achieve suppression of the FBR by as much as 68% (as indicated by the collagen density). In the meantime, these immune-compatible designs still provide a high charge-carrier mobility of around 1 cm 2 V −1 s −1 . In conclusion, we anticipate that such immune-compatible design principles can be translated to a variety of conjugated polymers to suppress the FBR for implantable applications.
