AF-M315E Propulsion System Advances and Improvements

Even as for the GR-1 awaits its first on-orbit demonstration on the planned 2017 launch of NASA's Green Propulsion Infusion Mission (GPIM) program, ongoing efforts continue to advance the technical state-of-the-art through improvements in the performance, life capability, and affordability of both Aerojet Rocketdyne's 1-N-class GR-1 and 20-N-class GR-22 green monopropellant thrusters. Hot-fire testing of a design upgrade of the GR-22 thruster successfully demonstrated resolution of a life-limiting thermo-structural issue encountered during prototype testing on the GPIM program, yielding both an approximately 2x increase in demonstrating life capability, as well as fundamental insights relating to how ionic liquid thrusters operate, thruster scaling, and operational factors affecting catalyst bed life. Further, a number of producibility improvements, related to both materials and processes and promising up to 50% unit cost reduction, have been identified through a comprehensive Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) assessment activity recently completed at Aerojet Rocketdyne. Focused specifically on the GR-1 but applicable to the common-core architecture of both thrusters, ongoing laboratory (heavyweight) thruster testing being conducted under a Space Act Agreement at NASA Glenn Research Center has already validated a number of these proposed manufacturability upgrades, additionally achieving a greater than 40% increase in thruster life. In parallel with technical advancements relevant to conventional large spacecraft, a joint effort between NASA and Aerojet Rocketdyne is underway to prepare 1-U CubeSat AF-M315E propulsion module for first flight demonstration in 2018.

Anion diffusion in two-dimensional halide perovskites

Commercialization of halide perovskites in the semiconductor industry is hindered by their short-term stability. The instability of perovskites is closely interlinked with ionic diffusion. Historically, attempts to study diffusion in 2D perovskites mostly utilized electrical characterizations, but these characterizations pose a challenge in deconvoluting the impact of device architecture, interlayers, and ionic species. In this Perspective, we focus our attention on simple optical characterizations employed in the literature to investigate halide diffusion in 2D perovskites using lateral and vertical heterostructure platforms. We review the various synthesis techniques used for fabrication of halide perovskite heterostructures and discuss the qualitative and quantitative diffusion studies performed using these platforms. We discuss the numerical methods used to validate and supplement the experimental halide diffusion kinetics. Finally, we highlight the need to conduct further research on the impact of device operating conditions, lattice structure, and vacancy concentration on halide diffusion. Through this Perspective, we aim to emphasize the need of developing a comprehensive understanding of halide diffusion in perovskites for their successful deployment in optoelectronics.

Ion Transport in Self-Assembled Peptoid Membranes with Carbon Nanotube Porin Channels

Artificial membranes that combine high ionic selectivity with mechanical robustness remain a key challenge for next-generation separation technologies. Here, we report ion transport measurements in biomimetic membranes composed of crystalline peptoid nanosheets co-assembled with carbon nanotube porins (CNTPs). Pure peptoid sheets formed defect-free, ion-impermeable membranes, which were then suspended over small SiN x nanopore apertures for ion transport measurements. Incorporation of CNTPs into the peptoid sheet matrix made these membranes ion permeable, with ion conductance values consistent with ion transport through individual and multiple carbon nanotube channels. In conclusion, the modularity and molecular order of peptoid membranes, combined with the exceptional conductance properties of CNTPs, position this platform as a versatile framework for assembling programmable, selective, and robust nanofluidic membranes that can bridge the performance gap between biological and synthetic membrane materials.

Polymers in molten inorganic salt hydrate phase change materials: solubility and gelation

Inorganic salt hydrates are of interest as phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage because of their unique properties, such as high latent heats of fusion, moderate melting temperatures, high volumetric energy storage densities, and enhanced thermal conductivities compared to their organic counterparts. Because of the low viscosities of molten salt hydrates, the leakage and settling of solids can easily occur during their application. Polymers are promising candidates for preventing these issues. In addition, the non-flammability, non-volatility, and nontoxicity of many molten salt hydrates make them attractive options as “green” solvents for polymers. However, solutions of polymers in molten salt hydrates have rarely been studied and are poorly understood. The highly ionic environments in these materials created due to a scarcity of hydration water for ions leads to strong ionic interactions, with ramifications for polymer solubility and chain expansion. This Perspective article aims to focus on polymer solutions and gels in inorganic salt hydrates by comparing these systems with existing knowledge of polymers in traditional ionic liquids and aqueous salt solutions. To provide insight into the states of ions and water in molten salt hydrates and the degree of hydration of polymers in these solvents, infrared spectroscopy experiments have been performed, and the data are correlated with the temperature-responsive gelation of poly(vinyl alcohol), one candidate material currently used for the shape stabilization of inorganic PCMs. Finally, the thermal properties of inorganic salt hydrates and ionic liquids are compared and strategies for the shape stabilization of inorganic salt hydrates using polymers, through the formation of physical gels, are discussed.

Electrochemical performance of ionic polymer metal composite under tensile loading

Abstract Cracks in polymer composites can lead to premature failure, which can be disastrous for polymer-based energy storage devices. Detecting these cracks is essential to guarantee the reliability and safety of such devices. However, detecting cracks in composite polymers such as ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) is a challenging task, which makes it difficult to ensure their performance and safety. The overall goal of this study is to investigate the effect of cracks or damage caused by tensile loading on the mechanical properties and electrochemical characteristics of IPMC based capacitors. During tensile testing, the deformation of the IPMC strips causes changes in the ion distribution and concentration in the polymer matrix, influencing the performance of the material. The measurements were conducted utilizing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy at a room temperature ( 21 ∘ C ) and frequency range of 10 KHz to 1 Hz. The method utilized in this study proved to be easy and quick with consistent results. The IPMC capacitor was found to increase its capacitance after major cracking in the Pt electrodes from high tensile mechanical loads. Furthermore, at lower frequency range (<100 Hz), the real ( ε ′ ) and imaginary ( ε ′ ′ ) part of permittivity increase with the addition of loads. This displays that the dielectric property of the material is affected due to the increasing of the loads. It is concluded that, at frequencies above 100 Hz, the permittivity is weakly load dependent.

Revealing Phase Heterogeneity in Vertically Aligned Nanocomposites via Plan-View Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy

Hydrogen utilization in clean energy technologies is challenged by limited storage and transport within materials, owing to the complex hydrogen kinetics at interfaces [1]. Understanding these interfacial mechanisms at the nanoscale is crucial for developing improved materials for hydrogen applications, particularly proton-conducting fuel cells (PCFCs). Vertically aligned nanocomposites (VANs) grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) offer a unique platform for investigating the interfacial effects on hydrogen transport due to their well-defined interfaces parallel to the direction of charge transport [2-4]. To investigate hydrogen transport, the two phases within the VANs were chosen as BaZr 0.9 Y 0.1 O 3-x (BZY), a known proton conductor, and Pr 0.1 Ce 0.9 O 2-x (PCO), a mixed ionic-electronic conductor [5]. This PCO-BZY VANs architecture allows the investigation of how the interface between a proton conductor and a mixed conductor influences hydrogen transport. However, because of the small size of hydrogen, it is difficult to discern the nature of its interactions with interfaces from bulk measurements at the macroscale, thus necessitating nanoscale measurements [6]. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) allows for nanometer-resolution probing of the local atomic structure and chemistry at the BZY/PCO interface. In this study, plan-view analysis of PCO-BZY VANs films was employed to characterize the structure and phase distribution of the VANs and investigate the interface between the nanostructures. The films were imaged using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in the Hitachi S-4800 SEM, collecting secondary electron images using mixed upper and lower detectors. Then, plan-view transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) EELS were employed using a JEOL ARM300 microscope operated at 300kV with a Gatan K3 GIF Continuum detector to study the distribution of the BZY and PCO phases through the film. As a result, spectrum images were acquired at a dispersion of 0.18eV per channel and denoised afterward by principal component analysis (PCA) method.

Pre-flight report on cultured human embryonic kidney cell handling and cell electrophoresis. Prepared prior to continuous-flow electrophoretic separation experiments aboard space shuttle flight STS-8

Studies of the physical properties of continuous-flow zero-G electrophoretic separator (CFES) buffer, the electrokinetic properties of human erythrocytes in the CFES buffer, the electrokinetic properties of human embryonic kidney cells in the CFES buffer, and the viability and yield of human embryonc kidney cells subjected to flight handling procedures are discussed. In general, the procedure for cell handling and electrophoresis of HEK-8514 cells in 1st or 2nd passage on STS-8 is acceptable if executed properly. The CFES buffer has ionic strength that is barely compatible with cell viability and membrane stability, as seen in experiments with human erythrocytes and trypan-blue staining of human kidney cells. Cells suspended in 10% dialysed horse serum for 3 days in the cold appear to be more stable than freshly trypsinized cells. 10% horse serum appears to be superior to 5% horse serum for this purpose. The mean absolute raw mobility of HEK-8514 cells in CFES buffer at 6 degrees, conductivity 0.055 mmho/cm, is 1.1 to 1.4 um-cm/V-sec, with a range of nearly a whole mobility unit.

Development of Ionic Liquid Monopropellants for In-Space Propulsion

A family of new, low toxicity, high energy monopropellants is currently being evaluated at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center for in-space rocket engine applications such as reaction control engines. These ionic liquid monopropellants, developed in recent years by the Air Force Research Laboratory, could offer system simplification, less in-flight thermal management, and reduced handling precautions, while increasing propellant energy density as compared to traditional storable in-space propellants such as hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide. However, challenges exist in identifying ignition schemes for these ionic liquid monopropellants, which are known to burn at much hotter combustion temperatures compared to traditional monopropellants such as hydrazine. The high temperature combustion of these new monopropellants make the use of typical ignition catalyst beds prohibitive since the catalyst cannot withstand the elevated temperatures. Current research efforts are focused on monopropellant ignition and burn rate characterization, parameters that are important in the fundamental understanding of the monopropellant behavior and the eventual design of a thruster. Laboratory studies will be conducted using alternative ignition techniques such as laser-induced spark ignition and hot wire ignition. Ignition delay, defined as the time between the introduction of the ignition source and the first sign of light emission from a developing flame kernel, will be measured using Schlieren visualization. An optically-accessible liquid monopropellant burner, shown schematically in Figure 1 and similar in design to apparatuses used by other researchers to study solid and liquid monopropellants, will be used to determine propellant burn rate as a function of pressure and initial propellant temperature. The burn rate will be measured via high speed imaging through the chamber s windows.

Interpretation of large‐scale, long‐term electrical geophysical monitoring guided by a process simulation

Abstract Surface electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) was used at a waste site to monitor vadose zone changes in electrical properties as a proxy for contaminant flux over a span of 17 years. The BC Cribs and Trenches (BCCT) site at the Hanford site contains 20 disposal trenches and six disposal cribs. Wastes include a large inventory of technetium‐99 and large masses of nitrate and uranium‐238. ERT data were collected along 41 profiles in 2005 to characterize regions of elevated bulk electrical conductivity (BEC) associated with past liquid waste discharges. Previous analyses performed on samples from four boreholes showed a high correlation between nitrate concentration and BEC. In 2022, ERT data were re‐collected along the same profiles and six additional profiles in an area not previously surveyed. Compared to background uncontaminated areas, BEC was higher in contaminated areas at the waste sites. Given the correlation between nitrate concentration and BEC previously found at this site, ERT images show the spatial distribution and relative ionic concentration of vadose zone contaminants at BCCT. Between 2005 and 2022, ERT difference images showed a decrease in BEC surrounding most waste sites, with exceptions where there were known anthropogenic surface changes. An evaluation of recharge‐driven nitrate migration using synthetic flow and transport simulations showed that downward migration causes a decrease in BEC from the decrease in ionic strength at the trailing end of the plume where contaminants migrated downward. From this, we interpret ERT difference images as showing the predominant regions of downward ion flux.

Study of Ionic Mass Transport in Non-Conventional Electrolytes for Energy Storage and Carbon Capture Applications

In the field of energy storage, electrolytes are the materials or liquids used to transport ions or redox active chemicals to facilitate an electrochemical process. Conventional electrolytes are the most common form of electrolyte used and consist of salts dissolved in a liquid solvent medium. While conventional electrolytes are generally inexpensive and work well with lithium-ion batteries, they have many shortfalls however, such as corrosion of the cell, flammability, toxicity, price, and incompatibility with other metals. This project investigates the fundamental properties in nonconventional electrolyte systems with an initial focus on eutectics being made. Using electrochemical methods ( Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Impedance, Conductance, etc.), we are studying the study of electrolyte systems containing ions used for thermal, chemical, or electrochemical energy storage such as Li + , Mg 2+ , Na + , K + , Al 3+ , CO 3 2- , Cl - , and O 2- . This research looks at how ion mobility effects the electrochemical characteristics and properties in green energy applications.

Unraveling membrane electrode assembly design for electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide to formate/formic acid

This work presents a one-dimensional continuum modeling approach to investigate various cell architectures used for electrochemical conversion of CO 2 to formate/formic acid. Ion transport is simulated by a system of generalized modified Poisson–Nernst–Planck (GMPNP) equations that reflect the reactive transport phenomena including steric effects as the electrolyte solutions become concentrated. In the cathode catalyst layer, ionic current contributions from both the supporting electrolyte and solid-state ionomer are considered. Voltage and CO 2 utilization breakdowns are utilized to deconvolute the impacts of the cell architecture. The origins of (bi)carbonate formation in the cathode are explored, as the subsequent decrease in CO 2 availability is a key reason for low faradaic efficiencies to formate/formic acid. In addition, the role of a supporting electrolyte (KOH) is investigated to understand its tradeoffs: while the K + ions can improve both conductivity and electrochemically active surface area in the cathode, the presence of OH − ions raises the pH and leads to deleterious formation of (bi)carbonates. To this end, we also present parametric studies on the concentration and flow rate of supplied KOH to the cell, to establish a path towards eliminating the need for a supporting electrolyte.

Thermal diffuse X-ray scattering in simple metals

Calculations are reported for the ionic structure factor and X-ray scattering cross section of sodium (at T=0 K and 90 K) and lithium (both isotopes at T=0 K) within the harmonic approximation. An evaluation of the appropriate displacement- displacement correlation function by the special point method circumvents the need for a multiphonon expansion. In the case of sodium, the structure in the one-phonon scattering was straightforwardly accounted for, and an approximate expansion was obtained for all multiphonon scattering. By treating core and conduction electrons on an equal footing, it is shown that information on the conduction electron system is present in the forward scattering component. In lithium the one-phonon cross section at small angles aids in the determination of the effective electron-ion interaction.

Transport properties of ions

The strong long-range interactions between (among) charged species require the inclusion of higher order contributions to the transport properties (viscosity, thermal conductivity, diffusion) of ionized gases than are required for neutral gases. These higher order contributions have been rewritten so that they are given in terms of universal functions which can be tabulated. Tables which provide for the rapid calculation of some higher order contributions to the transport properties of both ions and electrons are given. Some results which are useful for calculating the higher order contributions to the transport properties of mixtures of ions are also given. These results are applied to the ionic species in air at high temperatures.

STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES STUDY ON ENERGY MATERIALS: THERMOELECTRIC MATERIAL TETRAHEDRITE AND LITHIUM ION CONDUCTOR LiPON

Development of efficient energy materials is critical in order to ease the energy demand and reduce our dependence of fossil fuel. Thermoelectric materials are promising due to their capability of generating electrical power by recovering waste heat. The performance of thermoelectric materials is quantified by a dimensionless figure of merit zT, which depends on their properties such as electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity. Tetrahedrites, a copper antimony sulfosalt mineral, typified by Cu12-xMxSb4S13, where M is a transition metal element such as Ni, Zn, Fe or Mn, have great potential for thermoelectric application due to their relatively high zT (close to 1 at 700 K), earth-abundance, environmental friendliness, favorable electrical properties, and most importantly intrinsic low lattice thermal conductivity (less than 1 W m-1 K-1) in wide temperature. In addition to energy recovery, reliable energy storage devices are also emerging to relieve the energy demand and improve the efficiency of consuming energy resources. Lithium-ion batteries are known to be reliable and successful electrochemical energy storage devices and appliable in various aspects, including laptops, smartphones and electrical vehicles. Lithium phosphorous oxynitride (LiPON) are widely used as thin-film solid-state electrolytes in Li-ion battery, which is the only demonstrated solid-state electrolyte that is quite stable in direct contact with Li metal at potentials from 0-5 V. However, the structure of LiPON, the effects of N doping, and the origin of its good electrochemical stability remains inconclusive.In this thesis, reliable modeling techniques accompanied with experimental tools, are applied to study the thermoelectric material tetrahedrite and the ionic conductor LiPON, in order to study their structural and dynamical properties. Accurate and efficient density-functional theory (DFT) and density-functional tight-binding (DFTB) methods, combined with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are utilized in order to investigate the structures and properties of these energy materials. The incoherent and coherent atomic dynamics study of tetrahedrite Cu10.5NiZn0.5Sb4S13 provides the origin of softening upon cooling by investigate the motion of Cu12e at different temperatures. The dynamic structure factors in the longitudinal and transverse direction will also be discussed. The Cu movement of Cu-rich tetrahedrite Cu14Sb4S13 is revealed by Cu self-diffusivity, nuclear density map and "nudged elastic band" (NEB). Moreover, we investigate the effect of simulation cell size and basis sets on the DFT-based MD simulation results using tetrahedrite Cu10Zn2Sb4S13 thermoelectric as a model material, showing the advantage of larger cell by accessing smaller Q range. In addition, the low-temperature structural properties of Cu12Sb4S13 is measured by neutron diffraction, which indicates that no cubic to tetragonal transition occurs at metal-semiconductor transition (MST) temperature. Thermoelectric properties such as Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity and electrical thermal conductivity will also be investigated. DFTB method is implemented to study the structure and transport properties of Li3PO4 and LiPON, while the exploration of N doping effect is included. Lastly, the LiPON/Li interphase will be revealed in order to study the origin of electrochemical stability

DFT-FE 1.0: A massively parallel hybrid CPU-GPU density functional theory code using finite-element discretization

In this work, we present DFT-FE 1.0, building on DFT-FE 0.6 [Comput. Phys. Commun. 246, 106853 (2020)], to conduct fast and accurate large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations (reaching ~ 100,000 electrons) on both many-core CPU and hybrid CPU-GPU computing architectures. This work involves improvements in the real-space formulation—via an improved treatment of the electrostatic interactions that substantially enhances the computational efficiency—as well high-performance computing aspects, including the GPU acceleration of all the key compute kernels in DFT-FE. We demonstrate the accuracy by comparing the ground-state energies, ionic forces and cell stresses on a wide-range of benchmark systems against those obtained from widely used DFT codes. Further, we demonstrate the numerical efficiency of our implementation, which yields ~ 20× CPU-GPU speed-up by using GPU acceleration on hybrid CPU-GPU nodes. Notably, owing to the parallel-scaling of the GPU implementation, we obtain wall-times of 80–140 seconds for full ground-state calculations, with stringent accuracy, on benchmark systems containing ~ 6, 000 – 15,000 electrons.

Mk-IV Salt Crystallization Hot Finger Apparatus for Partitioning Used Electrorefiner Salt

Electrorefining is a controlled redox process used to regulate the behavior of ionic species. Through this process, metals can be deposited onto a cathode from an electrolyte solution in a controlled manner. The Mk-IV electrorefiner (Mk-IV ER) at Idaho National Laboratory is an engineering-scale, molten salt-based electrorefining cell that has been used for decades to recover metallic uranium from spent fuel. As a result, highly stable fission product chlorides have accumulated in the electrolyte. This accumulation results in changes to the salt’s properties, such as melting temperature, thermal conductivity, and density, as well as elevated product impurity and fissile materials criticality margin. These factors prompt the need for a salt regeneration process, such as melt-crystallization and species drawdown. This work focuses on providing a conceptual design to regenerate ER salt from used Mk-IV-ER salt in-situ, while minimizing salt waste volumes by concentrating the fission products in a final processed salt heal. We propose using a hot-finger crystallization apparatus design to fractionally crystallize salt in the Mk-IV-ER head space (or baffle space), allowing the collection of solid and liquid fractions. By using a cup-drain design, the used salt will be allowed to slowly solidify on the walls of a stainless-steel cup. The apparatus drain plug will then open to allow the liquid salt phase to drain to a lower cup, effectively separating the liquid phase from the solid phase. Under the hypothesis that the liquid phase salt concentrates the fission products, which is under examination in the accompanying work package, this separation allows the recovered solid salt to be reused while minimizing the high-level salt waste volume of used ER salt.
