Catalytic Upgrading of Ethanol to C8+ Distillate Range Ethers via Guerbet Coupling and Etherification

Guerbet coupling followed by etherification is a two step process for conversion of ethanol into distillate range molecules. This involves first alcohol oligomerization, followed by acid-catalyzed dehydration. As we will show in this presentation, ethanol can be converted to higher linear and α-branched alcohols by C-C coupling reactions (ethanol oligomerization) as well as to high molecular weight esters by C-O coupling reactions with Cu/MgxAlOy (CuHT) catalysts. Alcohols may be converted to ethers via bimolecular dehydration in a subsequent step. We have identified more than 160 number of species in the products including alcohols, esters, aldehydes, ketonces, and olefins. Alcohols range from C4 to C10. Both alcohols and esters follow a Schulz-Flory chain growth model. We show the relationship between the catalyst properties (BET surface area, acid and base site count and Cu loading and synthesis method) and the performance in the reactions. We also show that physical mixtures of CuHT and HT can have similar product selectivity of low loading CuHT catalysts. The selectivity towards diesel fuel precursor compounds (hereafter ‘DFPC’) increased with conversion until reaching a plateau at high ethanol conversion (~70%). Alcohol selectivity follows a Schultz-Flory distribution at all studied conversions, and that adsorbed ethanol-derived species may undergo surface oligomerization into 1-butanol and higher alcohols before desorbing in a chain-growth mechanism. Zeolite catalysts convert the C4+ alcohols into C8+ ethers in both batch and continuous flow reactors. Selectivities of up to 80% to C8+ ethers at around 70% conversion using a single pass continuous flow system are able to be achieved. The final product feedstocks obtained from etherification have been used in technoeconomic (TEA) and lifecycle analysis (LCA), which indicate a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 50% relative to conventional diesel. These final feedstocks are undergoing engine testing to elucidate the physiochemical properties and will be compared to diesel #2 ASTM standards as a reference and will serve as a basis to improve the final bio-diesel blendstocks from etherification.

BioPhotovoltaics: New paradigm towards high-efficiency and high-stability cells

In this project, we demonstrated significant progress in the development of Bio-Photovoltaic (BioPV) technology, with a particular focus on the transition from the initial success with Artemisinin (ART) to the development of the E1 compound. This journey began with the exploration of less conformationally restricted analogs of ART, leading to the discovery of E1. The initial success in the first quarter with ART set a precedent for the project, guiding our approach in molecular selection and design. Our computational studies provided a solid rationale for selecting specific biomolecules, with density functional theory calculations revealing the potential of certain molecules to form beneficial interactions with perovskite. This was a crucial step in narrowing down the candidate molecules from a broader selection. Subsequently, our approach involved simplifying these molecules to refine their properties and enhance their performance in bioPV applications. The ART-MAPbI3 films, for example, showcased not only high carrier mobility and hydrophobicity but also a significant increase in PCE. The evolution from ART to E1 was marked by a thorough understanding of molecular interactions and their impact on the material’s performance. This progression, from the complexity of lead candidates to the modeling and testing of simplified compounds, has culminated in the development of next-generation biomolecules with vastly improved properties. The link between E1 and ART, through this enhanced understanding, has been compelling and instrumental in achieving the milestones set forth in our project. The success in material and device performance underscores the importance of fundamental molecular design parameters, pointing towards future potential in the field of bioPV technology.

Catalytic Approaches to C–O Activation in Biorenewable Feedstocks

The carbon present in biomass (the largest renewable source on the planet) continues to tempt us as a possible replacement for the carbon we currently obtain from fossil fuels. As we have recently reviewed, the challenges of extracting chemically useful feedstocks from biorenewables, and, especially, cellulosics, is largely under-developed relative to the maturity of the technologies for deriving industrially useful chemicals from petroleum. This ultimately boils down to problems in functionalization catalysis (for oil) versus defunctionalization (for cellulosics). The technology gap for achieving the selective defunctionalization of cellulosic feedstocks is much larger than it is for petroleum functionalization. This assessment suggests that the problem is not that bio-renewable feedstocks are fundamentally flawed from an economic and chemical sustainability perspective, but that we lack the technologies for deoxygenating cellulosic to more valuable chemicals. Bozell and Petersen have argued that integrated biorefineries will require a suite of products for viability (in analogy to an integrated petroleum refinery). These products will range from low-value high-volume energy related products (i.e. fuels) to high-value low-volume compounds focused on specialty markets and pharmaceuticals. The latter, although less impactful in terms of volume, is a critical economic component of the future integrated biorefinery. Our review was stimulated by their assessment of the state of the biorefinery and focused on the available chemistries for achieving low-volume high-value outcomes. To help fill this technology gap, we seek new catalytic technologies for synthesizing high-value chemicals from cellulosics and take the view that the inherent chirality of C 6 O 6 feedstocks will provide valuable materials for specialty and pharmaceutical applications, but only if one can achieve site-selective reactions that don’t denude the stereochemistry inherent to the sugars. Eliminative methods are less desirable as this deoxygenation scheme removes multiple stereocenters. The research plan outlined herein seeks methods for site-selective deoxygenation reactions that lead to high value specialty/pharma products.

Aspatial Oxyanion Reduction Catalysis

The scientifically challenging problem of catalytically reducing oxyanions was explored and presented great opportunities in terms of the environment, economics and energy self-sufficiency. Oxyanions are pervasive as they are found in many areas of technology, all forms of life, in minerals, and as synthetic materials. Given their ubiquity, the contamination of inorganic oxyanions in drinking water is a national problem as 26 states and Puerto Rico have reported high concentrations of these harmful pollutants. The goals achieved by this research was to catalytically investigate the reduction of new oxyanions utilizing sustainable earth abundant catalysts featuring bio-inspired ligands. Further, ligand modifications will be explored to understand the impact on oxyanion reduction, mechanistic studies, and for electrocatalytic oxyanion reduction.

Independent Fuel Property Effects of Fuel Volatility on Low Temperature Heat Release and Fuel Autoignition (Final Report)

This Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) project between Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and Shell Global Solutions (Shell) was initiated as part of a Directed Funding Opportunity (DFO) call for proposals from the Co-Optimization of Fuels and Engines (Co-Optima) initiative. Shell had observed that volatile fuels suppress low temperature heat release (LTHR) more than expected based on conventional gasoline autoignition metrics: research octane number (RON) and motor octane number (MON). The role of LTHR contributes to autoignition phenomena for both boosted spark ignition (BSI) and advanced compression ignition (ACI) combustion modes. ACI combustion modes are applicable to large engines in the hard-to-electrify applications such as off-road, rail, and marine. Thus, having a reliable understanding of autoignition phenomena, including being able to accurately account for the effects of fuel volatility, is particularly important as new synthetic and bio-fuel compositions are considered.This CRADA project aimed to test the hypothesis that the decreased LTHR is due to preferential evaporation of multicomponent fuels when using direct injection (DI) fueling technology, creating composition and reactivity stratification. A custom set of fuels was designed and blended to test this hypothesis by Shell, with experimental engine studies at ORNL and engine combustion modeling by ANL. However, the initial experimental findings did not show the expected effect of fuel volatility suppressing LTHR. Instead, the LTHR propensity observed was independent of the fuel volatility. Due to the unexpected experimental result, the remainder of the experimental effort was redirected to study the effect of fuel volatility on emissions under spark-ignited cold-start conditions. However, as with the LTHR experiments, the cold start effort did not show a meaningful effect of fuel volatility on cold start emissions. Meanwhile, improved engine CFD models have been developed for both LTHR and cold start operations for the Shell fuels with different volatilities. While the simulation efforts were not pursued further due to the insignificant effects of fuel volatility as shown in experiments, the models developed can be easily retooled for off-road, rail, and marine applications.

Challenges, Progress, and Future Perspectives for Cyanobacterial Polyhydroxybutyrate Production

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are a promising bio-based alternative to traditional plastics derived from petroleum. Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic organisms that produce PHA from CO 2 and sunlight, which can potentially reduce production costs and environmental footprint in comparison to heterotrophic bacteria cultures because (1) they utilize inorganic carbon sources for growth and (2) they do not require intensive aeration for oxygenation. Moreover, supplementing precursors such as propionate, acetate, valerate, etc., can be used to obtain various copolymers with plastic customizable properties in comparison to the classical homopolymers, such as polyhydroxybutyrate, PHB. This critical review covers the latest advances in PHA production, including recent discoveries in the metabolism interplay between PHA and glycogen production, and new insights into cultivation strategies that enhance PHA accumulation, and purification processes. This review also addresses the challenges and suggests potential solutions for a viable industrial PHAs production process.

Biomanufacturing and bioprocessing of lunar regolith

Microbial biomanufacturing is important to accelerate lunar construction because it can leverage lunar material and waste streams as feedstocks to create a circular production system. In-space bio-mining and biomanufacturing using moon and asteroidal source material will enable the creation of infrastructure, produce industrial fuels and lubricants, and enable recovery of actinides and rare-earth elements (REEs) present in trace concentrations. Moreover, biomanufacturing in closed-loop systems (recycling and reuse of resources toward the establishment of a circular economy) will enable long-term lunar activities by recycling waste (CO 2 , gray water) and producing oxygen and biomaterials. Our response focuses on the use of lunar regolith and waste streams as feedstocks for protein and microbial-enabled biomining and bioprocessing to extract actinides and REEs, and to create biocomposites for lunar infrastructure. We envision an enclosed process that initiates with (1a) extracting actinides and REEs from lunar regolith using immobilized proteins, followed by (1b) creating biocomposites from the post-extracted lunar regolith for infrastructure, and (1c) cultivating diatoms and other microalgae on waste streams to harvest silica shells for incorporating into biocomposites and to generate O 2 for human respiration and/or producing refinable feedstocks. LLNL has significant expertise in all three processes and provides facilities, personnel, and expertise at the intersection of metal (lanthanide, actinide, transition) separations, purifications, biohydrometallurgy, radiobiochemistry, synthetic and systems biology, and materials science and engineering. Importantly, all three processes are relatively well-studied for Earth-based workflows and can be derisked for demonstration on the lunar surface by 2029.

Developing Methods to Assess Changes in Mechanical Properties of Shale Modified by Engineered Mineral Precipitation

Fractures in subsurface shale formations serve multiple purposes, for example, in the recovery of resources in hydraulic fracturing or as potential harmful leakage passages through caprocks that may contribute undesired fluids to the atmosphere or functional groundwater aquifers. A proposed method to seal or influence fracture properties is Ureolysis-Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (UICP), a bio-mineralization technology driven by the enzymatic hydrolysis of urea, resulting in the formation of calcium carbonate. Sporosarcina pasteurii is a common microbe used as the source of the urease enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. The resulting calcium carbonate can bridge the gaps in fractured shale and reduce fluid flow through fractures. However, there is little information on how this process affects the mechanical properties of the resulting biomineralized shale. This study represents the first step toward determining the influence of UICP treatment on shale material and its subsequent mechanical strength properties. This methods development study aims to determine the effect that temperature has on the tensile strength of intact, unfractured shale cores (2.54 cm (1 in) diameter, 5.08 cm (2 in) long). Tensile strength was determined indirectly using a modified Brazilian test where the splitting tensile strength is attained by applying a compressive load onto the core. Shale cores from Eagle Ford and Wolfcamp formations were tested at both room temperature and 60°C to determine if increased temperature influences the tensile strength of the rock. This data will help to assess the necessity of testing biomineralized cores at temperature. Though 60°C may not mimic subsurface temperatures of the shales used in this study, it was chosen due to limitations of the UICP process while still approaching temperatures of shale formations. This project aims to evaluate what effect temperature has on the mechanical properties of intact shale cores so that engineered or natural rock fractures that are sealed by biomineralization can be better understood.

Simultaneous Thermal Analysis of Anion and Cation Exchange Resins

The decomposition reactions of one anion exchange resin (Bio-Rad AG MP-1) and one cerium-loaded cation exchange resin (DOWEX 50W-X8), both in nitrate form, were analyzed using simultaneous thermal analysis methods. Thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic scanning calorimetry, and evolved gas analysis were deployed in combination to probe the temperature profiles, reaction enthalpies, and off-gases from these resins under process-relevant temperature ranges. Analysis indicates that both resins undergo three clear phases during heating. The first is a dehydration step with prominent off-gassing of water, the second is a decomposition step with evolution of several gaseous species, and lastly is a combustion step with a large release of CO 2 . The temperature at which combustion ends varies slightly between AG MP-1 and DOWEX 50W: combustion completed at ~690°C and ~810°C, respectively. For the DOWEX cation resin, the combustion reaction showed greater sensitivity to the availability of oxygen under the test conditions. Both resins displayed broad exotherms during the combustion step of the decomposition, but the DOWEX cation resin demonstrated a 4.5 times higher specific enthalpy than that of the AG MP-1.

Pilot-Scale Algal Oil Production

The main objective of the project is complete: development of a preliminary planning and design for a pilot-scale algal oil cultivation and processing facility, FEL-3 design with -5% / +15% cost estimate accuracy, and conversion of the algal oil to biofuel in an off-site existing bio-oil refinery. The design basis includes 10 tons per day of dried algae cultivated with CO 2 supplied by direct air capture, electricity supplied solar power, well water supply, zero liquid discharge, off-site extraction, and off-site conversion of oil to biofuel. The design and permitting package is an important milestone in the path to commercialization of algal biofuels and bioproducts as it provides the preliminary design, permitting path, long-term land lease, planning documents, and team needed for success in future engineering, construction, start-up and operations of a pilot-scale farm at a site in Paso Robles, CA. Outcomes of the business assessment include (i) identification of a product spectrum for economical algal biofuels using co-products with markets that are commensurate with production of 6-7 billion gallons per year of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable diesel, and renewable gasoline, (ii) a path toward near-term contribution of algae oil to SAF, and (iii) an approach for long-term operation of a pilot-scale farm.

Center for Lignocellulose Structure and Formation (CLSF)

Lignocellulose is the carbon- and energy-rich material synthesized by plants when they make secondary cell walls, e.g. in woody tissues. Plants annually convert gigatons of atmospheric CO 2 into these complex and useful biomaterials that comprise over half of all biological carbon on Earth. This biological conversion helps to reduce atmospheric CO 2 that contributes to climate change while generating renewable plant cell walls that are used commercially on a massive scale in the paper, timber and textile industries. Recent technical developments open new possibilities for use of modified wood and cellulose fibers as large-scale alternatives to steel, plastics, and other nonrenewable materials with high carbon footprints and energy inputs, as well as for generation of biofuels and bio-hydrogen. Despite the utility of plant-based biomaterials, many physical and biological aspects of cell wall structure and formation remain obscure, and this limits the current scope for engineering these renewable resources for greater utility.

Investigating Material Properties of Subsurface Rock Formations Modified by Engineering Mineral Precipitation (Final Scientific and Technical Report)

Montana State University’s (MSU) Energy Research Institute (ERI), in collaboration with the Center for Biofilm Engineering (CBE) and the Department of Civil Engineering (CE), has conducted a long‐term research program aimed at developing a novel cementing agent to address wellbore integrity and reduce the unwanted upward migration of fluids and greenhouse gases from the subsurface. The primary technology developed through this research program is known as ureolysis‐induced calcite precipitation (UICP), which harnesses bio‐chemical processes to precipitate calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ). The same general process can also be called microbially-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) when microbes provide the process-catalyzing urease enzyme. Both terms are used in this report. Results have conclusively demonstrated that, if properly controlled, UICP can successfully seal fractures, high permeability zones, and compromised cement in the vicinity of wellbores and in nearby caprock. This technology has been successfully deployed to mitigate annular leakage in two test wells and over sixty commercial wells with a 100% success rate. This success in downhole deployment generates consideration of other subsurface applications where UICP could provide benefit to the energy sector, such as shale property modification for unconventional oil and gas recovery. The focus of this research project was to investigate fundamental material and mechanical properties of select shale cores and analyze how these properties change due to engineered mineral precipitation with the intent to control these properties to achieve a range of engineering objectives. Ultimately, the project aim was to identify valuable new areas where application of UICP might contribute to national energy security and environmental protection. The research workplan coupled UICP treatment of core samples, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) characterization, and mechanical strength testing at MSU with advanced X‐Ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) imaging and numerical modeling performed by collaborators at two national laboratories, the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Experimental results are useful to inform geo-mechanical models which could be applied to predict mineralized rock formation behavior at field scale. Our findings suggest that NMR and μCT methods to detect and quantify biomineral formation in shale fractures are complementary and consistent with each other. Either could be used to estimate the volume of new mineral formed by UICP in shale fractures. The use of surfactants and guar gum to enhance biomineral precipitation in shale fractures merits further research. UICP can, under some conditions, increase the tensile strength of sealed shale fractures beyond that of the intact shale. These findings demonstrate that continued research in this area may be valuable to understanding and improving shale resource recovery techniques.

Discovery of Dielectric Response and Forces in Sub-Nanoscale Objects (Final Technical Report)

This is the final technical report for DOE Award DE-SC0005132 entitled “Discovery of Dielectric Response and Forces in Sub-Nanoscale Objects.” This award originated on August 15, 2010 with Principle Investigator Prof. Phil Batson of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Prof. Batson transitioned to Professor Emeritus status on January 31, 2023. At that time PI status was transferred to Prof. Robert Bartynski of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and Director of the Rutgers Laboratory for Surface Modification. The central theme of the research performed under this award is develop and refine a NION aberration-corrected Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope to attain atomic spatial resolution and sub 10meV energy resolution in electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) performed on the transmitted electron beam. These capabilities allow examination of the excitation properties (primarily plasmonic and vibrational [ie., phonons] of nanoscale objects when excited with a highly-localized (~ Angstrom-scale) high energy (~ 60 keV) electron beam. Direct excitations (i.e., the response to electrons impinging directly on the sample) as well as excitations in response to the dynamic electric (and magnetic!) fields of an aloof electron beam (i.e., a beam that is close to but displaced from the target) have been studied. Our experimental work has benefited greatly from close collaborations with theoretical colleagues, but at Rutgers and from around the world, providing a much more complete understanding of the observed phenomena and suggesting avenues for further study and practical applications. This report summarizes the technical and scientific achievements accomplished during the entire award period. More extensive details are available in the Progress Reports that have already been filed with the Department of Energy. The report is divided into six sections. The first four sections focus on exploring, developing and understanding several unique capabilities and phenomena discovered and accessible owing to the high spatial- and energy-resolution we have been able to achieve. The latter two sections focus on applications of the STEM’s novel capabilities to study atomic- and nanometer-scale properties of solids, as well as broader applications to advanced and bio-materials.
