Mechanistic Advantages of Organotin Molecular EUV Photoresists

Jonathan H. Ma, Craig Needham, Han Wang, Andrew Neureuther, David Prendergast, Patrick Naulleau

Summary: This study used density functional theory to investigate the radiation exposure chemistry in organotin-oxo systems induced by extreme ultraviolet (EUV). The results revealed that tin-carbon bond cleavage can be triggered by either electron attachment or ionization, explaining the EUV sensitivity advantage of metal oxide systems. The study also found that the ionization and electron attachment reactions differ for tin atoms at different parts of the molecule, and this selectivity is determined by local coordination chemistry rather than the macro geometry of the molecule.

Identification of catalytic activity descriptors for selective 5-hydroxymethyl furfural electrooxidation to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid

William Hadinata Lie, Yang Yuwei, Jodie A. Yuwono, Constantine Tsounis, Muhammad Zubair, Joshua Wright, Lars Thomsen, Priyank Kumar, Nicholas Bedford

Summary: Several transition metal oxides and hydroxides have shown promising electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF), an important biomass-derived compound. However, little is known about the factors influencing the reactivity and selectivity of these materials for HMF electrooxidation (HMFOR). In this study, Co, Ni and Cu-based Prussian blue analogue (PBA) electrocatalysts were investigated to understand their intrinsic electronic contributions to HMFOR activity. Cu-phase PBAs exhibited the highest faradaic efficiency for generating 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) during HMF oxidation. The presence of nucleophilic OH* species on the electrocatalyst's surface was identified as an important factor affecting the activity and selectivity towards FDCA. These findings provide insights into the design of high-performance HMFOR catalysts without relying on catalysts with high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity.

Structural Elucidation of a Polypeptoid Chain in a Crystalline Lattice Reveals Key Morphology-Directing Role of the N-Terminus

Tianyi Yu, Xubo Luo, David Prendergast, Glenn L. Butterfoss, Behzad Rad, Nitash P. Balsara, Ronald N. Zuckermann, Xi Jiang

Summary: The precise engineering of synthetic polymers with the same structural accuracy as biomacromolecules is crucial for the de novo design of robust nanomaterials with biomimetic function. Peptoids, a controllable bio-inspired polymer family, have the ability to assemble into various functional, crystalline nanostructures across different sequences. Through cryo-TEM 3D reconstruction, the conformation of an individual polymer chain within a peptoid nanofiber lattice is directly visualized, providing atomic-level details of the molecular structure. The findings reveal the role of packing interactions in determining the local chain ordering and long-range order in peptoid lattices, and demonstrate the potential to modulate lattice stability and nanoscale morphology through the addition of small molecules, thus accelerating the design of functional nanostructures.

The Moderating Role of Insecure Attachments on the Relationship between Controlling Behaviors and Violence Perpetration in Intimate Relationships

Soojeong Kim, Sihyun Park, Jane D. Champion

Summary: This study examined the link between male-to-female violence and controlling behaviors of male partners, as well as the moderating effect of attachment style in South Korea. National data from 2,000 unmarried Korean men was used. The results showed that controlling behaviors were positively associated with psychological violence and negatively associated with physical violence, with no association found for sexual violence. Anxious attachment moderated the relationship between control and psychological abuse, while avoidant attachment acted as a quasi and pure moderator for the associations between control and physical and sexual violence, respectively.

Unsupervised learning of representative local atomic arrangements in molecular dynamics data

Fabrice Roncoroni, Ana Sanz-Matias, Siddharth Sundararaman, David Prendergast

Summary: Molecular dynamics simulations generate a large amount of data but often lack effective interpretation methods. We propose a method combining dimensionality reduction (UMAP) and unsupervised hierarchical clustering (HDBSCAN) to quantitatively characterize the coordination environment in MD data. By focusing on local coordination and using alignment or shape-matching algorithms, we classify molecular formulas into distinct structural isomer families, successfully mapping the multiple coordination environments present in the MD data. This method is applied to reveal details of cation coordination in electrolytes based on molecular liquids.

Efficient core-excited state orbital perspective on calculating x-ray absorption transitions in determinant framework

Subhayan Roychoudhury, David Prendergast

Summary: X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a valuable tool for studying the electronic structure and properties of materials. A first-principles approach called many-body XAS (MBXAS) has shown promises in evaluating the transition amplitudes in XAS. In this article, the authors propose a reformulation of the MBXAS approach using a transition operator expressed in the basis of core-excited state KS orbitals, which offers practical and conceptual advantages. The reformulated approach also allows for comparisons with single-particle approximations and provides insights into the relaxation of the valence occupied subspace induced by core excitation.

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.
