We report nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) results on water saturated, dense, nano-crystalline YSZ samples (9.5 mol% yttria doped zirconia) which exhibit proton conductivity at temperatures as low as room temperature. H-1-NMR spectra recorded under static and magic angle spinning conditions show two distinct signals. Their temperature-dependent behavior and their linewidths suggest that one can be attributed to (free) water adsorbed on the surface of the sample and the other one to mobile protons within the sample. This interpretation is supported by comparison with measurements on a single-crystalline sample. For the nano-crystalline samples motional narrowing is observed for the signal originating from protons in the sample interior. For these protons, the analysis of temperature and field dependent spin-lattice relaxation time T-1 points towards diffusion in a confined two-dimensional geometry. We attribute this quasi two-dimensional motion to protons that are mobile along internal interfaces or nanopores of nano-crystalline YSZ.

Slip/Stick Viscosity Models of Nanoconfined Liquids: Solvent-Dependent Rotation in Metal-Organic Frameworks

Marcus J. Jellen, Xing Jiang, Stefan Benders, Alina Adams, Miguel A. Garcia-Garibay

Summary: Artificial molecular machines are expected to operate in environments where solvent behaviors dramatically change upon confinement into limited spaces, impacting molecules significantly. In this study, an amphidynamic metal-organic framework with barrierless rotators was demonstrated to operate as NMR sensors for solvent viscosity, showing that confined solvents have significantly higher viscosity values compared to bulk solvents. Relaxation times and activation energies for rotational dynamics of solvents in MOFs were also explored, revealing different behaviors compared to those in bulk solvents. Translational diffusion measurements of solvents in MOFs showed intermediate dynamics for the translational motion.

SABRE Hyperpolarization with up to 200 bar Parahydrogen in Standard and Quickly Removable Solvents

Anton Duchowny, Johannes Denninger, Lars Lohmann, Thomas Theis, Soeren Lehmkuhl, Alina Adams

Summary: This work demonstrates p-H-2-based SABRE hyperpolarization at pressures up to 200 bar, which is much higher than previously reported. The study shows that increasing pressure enhances signal intensities until reaching a plateau. It is also found that H-2 solubility increases linearly with pressure, indicating that p-H-2 availability is not the limiting factor beyond a certain pressure. Additionally, the use of liquefied ethane and compressed CO2 as removable solvents for hyperpolarization is demonstrated.

Aging analysis of alternative fuels and biofuels in a novel test rig

Anton Duchowny, Karin Engelander, Bernhard Bluemich, Alina Adams

Summary: Understanding aging phenomena of alternative fuels is crucial due to the introduction of different aging-related phenomena. A novel test rig was designed to simulate real conditions and achieve knowledge gain for fuel aging and additive technology development. The results showed that pure FAME performed well in the realistic setup due to its high polarity preventing deposit accumulation. Insightful information with minimal effort and sample volume was obtained through benchtop 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Conventional fuel and FAME blends were found to lead to system failures and large quantities of deposits.

Insights into the multi-functional lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate additive in boosting the Li-ion reaction kinetics for Li3VO4 anodes

Miaomiao Zhang, Cunyuan Pei, Qiqi Xiang, Lintao Liu, Zhongxu Dai, Huijuan Ma, Shibing Ni

Summary: The design of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in improving the electrochemical performance of anode materials. In this study, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) is used as an electrolyte additive to form a protective SEI film on Li3VO4 (LVO) anodes. The addition of LiDFOB results in a dense, uniform, stable, and LiF-richer SEI, which enhances the Li-ion storage kinetics. The generated SEI also prevents further decomposition of the electrolyte and maintains the morphology of LVO anodes during charge/discharge processes. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of LiDFOB as a multi-functional additive for LiPF6 electrolytes and provides insights into SEI construction for high-performance LVO anodes.

ClO-driven degradation of graphene oxide: new insights from DFT calculations

S. L. Romo-Avila, D. Marquez-Ruiz, R. A. Guirado-Lopez

Summary: In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the interaction between model graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures and chlorine monoxide ClO. We aimed to understand the role of this highly oxidizing species in breaking C-C bonds and forming significant holes on GO sheets. Our results showed that C-C bonds in a single graphene oxide sheet can be broken through a simple mechanism involving the dissociation of two chemically attached ClO molecules. The formation of carbonyl groups and holes on the GO surface was also observed. This study provides important insights into the degradation of carbon nanotubes and the stability of GO during the myeloperoxidase (MPO) catalytic cycle.

Composition dependence of X-ray stability and degradation mechanisms at lead halide perovskite single crystal surfaces

Alberto Garcia-Fernandez, Birgit Kammlander, Stefania Riva, Hakan Rensmo, Ute B. Cappel

Summary: In this study, the X-ray stability of five different lead halide perovskite compositions (MAPbI3, MAPbCl3, MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3, CsPbBr3) was investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. Different degradation mechanisms and resistance to X-ray were observed depending on the crystal composition. Overall, perovskite compositions based on the MA+ cation were found to be less stable than those based on FA+ or Cs+. Metallic lead formation was most easily observed in the chloride perovskite, followed by bromide, and very little in MAPbI3. Multiple degradation processes were identified for the bromide compositions, including ion migration, formation of volatile and solid products, as well as metallic lead. CsBr was formed as a solid degradation product on the surface of CsPbBr3.

Summary: The stability of La1/3Sr2/3Fe1-xMnxO3-delta, a perovskite-type oxide, under reducing conditions is dependent on the manganese content. Increasing the manganese content leads to a decrease in stability. The behavior of iron and manganese in the oxide shows distinct differences, which can be attributed to the difference in the enthalpy of oxidation reactions. Additionally, the change in the La/Sr ratio affects the concentration of iron and manganese ions.
