A collection of >3000 MOFs with experimentally confirmed structures were screened for performance in three binary separations: Ar/Kr, Kr/Xe, and Xe/Rn. 70 materials were selected for further analysis, and calculations were performed to account for inaccessible regions. Single component GCMC calculations were performed to parametrize LAST calculations on these 70 materials. An approach that avoids possible imprecision in IAST due to curve-fitting of single component isotherms is introduced. The precision of IAST for these gas pairs was confirmed with extensive binary GCMC calculations. For each binary separation, materials were identified with predicted performance that surpasses the state of the art. A significant number of materials were found to be reverse selective in the sense that a smaller gas species is preferably adsorbed over a larger species. The physical origin of this phenomenon is explained. The effect of temperature on separation performance was also examined.

Simulations of the IR and Raman spectra of water confined in amorphous silica slit pores

Hasini S. Senanayake, Jeffery A. Greathouse, Anastasia G. Ilgen, Ward H. Thompson

Summary: Water in nano-scale confining environments plays a crucial role in various biological, material, and geological systems, leading to significant changes in its structure and dynamics. Vibrational spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool for studying these alterations, with a focus on understanding the connection between spectroscopic features and molecular-level details. Molecular dynamics simulations were used in this study to investigate the linear infrared and Raman spectra of isotopically dilute HOD in D2O confined in hydroxylated amorphous silica slit pores. The confinement effect primarily results in a blueshift in the frequency of OH groups donating a hydrogen bond to the silica surface, showcasing the weaker hydrogen-bond accepting properties of silica oxygens compared to water molecules.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation and Cryo-Electron Microscopy Investigation of AOT Surfactant Structure at the Hydrated Mica Surface

Daniel M. Long, Jeffery A. Greathouse, Guangping Xu, Katherine L. Jungjohann

Summary: This study investigated the structural properties of the anionic surfactant dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT) adsorbed on the mica surface using molecular dynamics simulation. The simulations revealed that the adsorption mechanism depended on the surface loading and the presence of monovalent and divalent cations. At low loading, cylindrical micelles formed on the surface, while at high loading, adsorbed bilayers were observed. Experimental confirmation of the adsorbed micelle structure was obtained with cryogenic electronic microscopy.

Probing electrolyte-silica interactions through simulations of the infrared spectroscopy of nanoscale pores

Hasini S. Senanayake, Jeffery A. Greathouse, Ward H. Thompson

Summary: The structural and dynamical properties of nanoconfined solutions differ from those of bulk systems, and understanding these changes is important for controlling synthetic nanostructured materials. The effects of confinement on nanoscale electrolyte solutions were studied using molecular dynamics simulations. It was found that linear infrared spectroscopy has limitations as a probe of confined water, while the reorientational and spectral diffusion dynamics of OH are significantly slowed by confinement.

Summary: Reactions at solid-water interfaces are crucial in water treatment systems, catalysis, and chemical separations. Nanoconfinement can significantly alter the interfacial reactivity of a solid surface, which traditional measurements and models fail to capture. This review summarizes recent advances in experimental and theoretical studies, focusing on the adsorption process at solid-water interfaces under nanoconfinement.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Pore-Size Effects on Gas Adsorption Kinetics in Zeolites

Jeffery A. Greathouse, Matthew J. Paul, Guangping Xu, Matthew D. Powell

Summary: Strong gas-mineral interactions and slow adsorption kinetics affect gas mobility in zeolite pores, especially at pore-limiting window sites. This study combines molecular simulations and experiments to investigate noble gas adsorption and mobility in two zeolites. The results show that even the largest gas (Rn) can be accommodated in both zeolites, but gas mobility is significantly hindered in clinoptilolite. The experimental results confirm the presence of a kinetic barrier to Xe uptake, resulting in reverse Kr/Xe selectivity. A kinetic model is used to compare gas diffusivity in the zeolite pores.

Ab Initio-Derived Force Field for Amorphous Silica Interfaces for Use in Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Hasini S. S. Senanayake, Pubudu N. N. Wimalasiri, Sahan M. M. Godahewa, Ward H. H. Thompson, Jeffery A. A. Greathouse

Summary: We propose a classical interatomic force field, silica-DDEC, for describing the interactions between amorphous and crystalline silica surfaces. The model is parameterized using density functional theory-based charges. Charges for silica surfaces are determined using the density-derived electrostatic and chemical (DDEC) method, which accurately reproduces atomic charges and electrostatic potential away from the atom sites. Lennard-Jones parameters are determined to accurately describe the density, coordination defects, local coordination geometry, and water-silica interatomic distances. The resulting model provides a general description of fully flexible amorphous and crystalline silica surfaces and their interactions with liquids of varying structure and protonation state.

Summary: Ionic liquids have complex behavior, making it difficult to predict their properties, especially in confined environments. We have developed machine learning models based on molecular dynamics simulations to predict diffusion and conductivity of ionic liquids across a wide temperature range. These models use simple physical descriptors of the ions and can provide accurate results with minimal computational effort by using SMILES codes.

Effects of nanoconfinement and surface charge on iron adsorption on mesoporous silica

Jeffery A. Greathouse, Tyler J. Duncan, Anastasia G. Ilgen, Jacob A. Harvey, Louise J. Criscenti, Andrew W. Knight

Summary: In this study, a combined MD simulation and XAFS spectroscopic investigation was conducted to explore the adsorption mechanism of aqueous iron on nanoconfined amorphous silica surfaces. The simulation results demonstrated a significant dependence of iron adsorption on silica surface charge and a notable effect of pore size on the adsorption of Fe(ii). Adsorption trends varied with concentration and aqueous Fe speciation, and the coordination environment of adsorbed iron was found to vary significantly with the type of anion present.
