In-situ nano-crystal-to-crystal transformation synthesis of energetic materials based on three 5,5'-azotetrazolate Cr(III) salts.

ABSTRACT: The in-situ nano-crystal-to-crystal transformation (SCCT) synthesis provides a powerful approach for tailoring controllable feature shapes and sizes of nano crystals. In this work, three nitrogen-rich energetic nano-crystals based on 5,5'-azotetrazolate(AZT2-) Cr(III) salts were synthesized by means of SCCT methodology. SEM and TEM analyses show that the energetic nano-crystals feature a composition- and structure-dependent together with size-dependent thermal stability. Moreover, nano-scale decomposition products can be obtained above 500?°C, providing a new method for preparing metallic oxide nano materials.

Syntheses and Promising Properties of Dense Energetic 5,5'-Dinitramino-3,3'-azo-1,2,4-oxadiazole and Its Salts.

Project description:A planar energetic molecule with high density, 5,5'-dinitramino-3,3'-azo-1,2,4-oxadiazole (4), was obtained by the nitration of 5,5'-diamino-3,3'-azo-1,2,4-oxadiazole using 100?% nitric acid. In addition, selected nitrogen-rich salts were prepared. Of them, the neutral compound 4 and its hydroxylammonium salt, 6, were further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Physicochemical and energetic properties including density, thermal stability, and sensitivity were investigated. The energetic performance from the calculated heats of formation and experimental densities indicates that many of them have potential applications as energetic materials.

In situ Observation of Phase Transformation in MnAl(C) Magnetic Materials.

Project description:The phase transformation in two modes, including both displacive and massive growth of ?-phase from ?-MnAl(C), was observed by in situ transmission electron microscopy. The exact temperature range for different phase transformation modes was determined by magnetic measurements. The displacive growth of ??? in Mn54Al46 (or Mn54Al46C2.44) occurs at temperatures below 650 K (or 766 K), above which both modes coexist. One-third or less of the ?-phase can be transformed into ?-phase via displacive mode while the remaining two-thirds or more via massive mode. In bulk ?-phase, most ?-nanocrystals formed via displacive mode are distributed in the matrix of large ?-grains that formed via massive mode. The typical massive growth rate of the ?-phase is 8-60 nm/s, while the displacive growth rate is low. A more complete understanding of the ??? phase transformations in the MnAl-based magnets was provided in this work, based on which the annealing process for ??? was optimized and thus high purity ?-phase with high saturation magnetization was obtained.

Super-Efficient Synthesis of Mesh-like Superhydrophobic Nano-Aluminum/Iron (III) Oxide Energetic Films.

Project description:In this study, a novel superhydrophobic nano-aluminum/iron (III) oxide composite has been prepared by a facile one-step process of electrophoretic deposition, with wide potential applications. The optimal suspension included ethanol, acetyl-acetone, and the additives of fluorotriphenylsilane and perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane. The microstructure, wettability, and exothermic performance were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microcopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), water contact angle measurements, and the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. The water contact angle and the heat-release of the target composites could reach to ~170° and 2.67 kJ/g, and could still keep stable, after exposure for six months, showing a great stability. These results provided an exquisite synthesis of ideas, for designing other superhydrophobic energetic materials with self-cleaning properties, for real industrial application.

Molecular and Crystal Features of Thermostable Energetic Materials: Guidelines for Architecture of "Bridged" Compounds.

Project description:Extensive density functional theory (DFT) calculation and data analysis on molecular and crystal level features of 60 reported energetic materials (EMs) allowed us to define key descriptors that are characteristics of these compounds' thermostability. We see these descriptors as reminiscent of "Lipinski's rule of 5", which revolutionized the design of new orally active pharmaceutical molecules. The proposed descriptors for thermostable EMs are of a type of molecular design, location and type of the weakest bond in the energetic molecule, as well as specific ranges of oxygen balance, crystal packing coefficient, Hirshfeld surface hydrogen bonding, and crystal lattice energy. On this basis, we designed three new thermostable EMs containing bridged, 3,5-dinitropyrazole moieties, HL3, HL7, and HL9, which were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated in small-scale field detonation experiments. The best overall performing compound HL7 exhibited an onset decomposition temperature of 341 °C and has a density of 1.865 g cm-3, and the calculated velocity of detonation and maximum detonation pressure were 8517 m s-1 and 30.6 GPa, respectively. Considering HL7's impressive safety parameters [impact sensitivity (IS) = 22 J; friction sensitivity (FS) = 352; and electrostatic discharge sensitivity (ESD) = 1.05 J] and the results of small-scale field detonation experiments, the proposed guidelines should further promote the rational design of novel thermostable EMs, suitable for deep well drilling, space exploration, and other high-value defense and civil applications.

Derived crystal structure of martensitic materials by solid-solid phase transformation.

Project description:A mathematical description of crystal structure is proposed consisting of two parts: the underlying translational periodicity and the distinct atomic positions up to the symmetry operations in the unit cell, consistent with the International Tables for Crystallography. By the Cauchy-Born hypothesis, such a description can be integrated with the theory of continuum mechanics to calculate a derived crystal structure produced by solid-solid phase transformation. In addition, the expressions for the orientation relationship between the parent lattice and the derived lattice are generalized. The derived structure rationalizes the lattice parameters and the general equivalent atomic positions that assist the indexing process of X-ray diffraction analysis for low-symmetry martensitic materials undergoing phase transformation. The analysis is demonstrated in a CuAlMn shape memory alloy. From its austenite phase (L21 face-centered cubic structure), it is identified that the derived martensitic structure has orthorhombic symmetry Pmmn with the derived lattice parameters ad = 4.36491, bd = 5.40865 and cd = 4.2402 Å, by which the complicated X-ray Laue diffraction pattern can be well indexed, and the orientation relationship can be verified.

Metabolically activated energetic materials mediate cell anabolism for bone regeneration

Project description:While cellular energy metabolism regulates tissue regeneration, it remains as a challenge with its limited understanding of activation by engineered scaffolds to regenerate tissue or organ for therapeutic purpose. This study presents a biosynthesized poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) [abbreviated as P(3HB-co-4HB)] and its major degradation product, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), functioning as an endogenous bioenergetic molecule to facilitate bone regeneration and promote cellular anabolism via generations of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and citrate that enhance the progression of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) towards osteoblastogenesis. Our studies demonstrate that 3HB not only significantly enhances in vitro ATP generation to elevate mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and capillary-like tube formation, but also increases the content of intermediate metabolite, namely, citrate, in tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and ultimately promotes the formation of citrate-containing apatite during osteogenesis of hBMSCs. Furthermore, 3HB administration increases the bone mass in rats with ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis. Results also show that the P(3HB-co-4HB) scaffold significantly enhances long-term induced bone repair in a rat model with critical-sized calvarial defects, compared to the commercialized available poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) scaffold. Collectively, these findings uncover a previously undefined role of 3HB in promoting osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs and highlight that the P(3HB-co-4HB) scaffold functions as a metabolically activated energetic material for bone regeneration.

Theoretical Investigation of Energetic Salts with Pentazolate Anion.

Project description:Energetic salts based on pentazolate anion (cyclo-N5-) have attracted much attention due to their high nitrogen contents. However, it is an enormous challenge to efficiently screen out an appropriate cation that can match well with cyclo-N5-. The vertical electron affinity (VEA) of the cations and vertical ionization potential (VIP) of the anions for 135 energetic salts and some cyclo-N5- salts were calculated by the density functional theory (DFT). The magnitudes of VEA and VIP, and their matchability were analyzed. The results based on the calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ levels indicate that there is an excellent compatibility between cyclo-N5- and cation when the difference between the VEA of cation and the VIP of cyclo-N5- anion is -2.8 to -1.0 eV. The densities of the salts were predicted by the DFT method. Relationship between the calculated density and the experimental density was established as ?Expt = 1.111?cal - 0.06067 with a correlation coefficient of 0.905. This regression equation could be in turn used to calibrate the calculated density of the cyclo-N5- energetic salts accurately. This work provides a favorable way to explore the energetic salts with excellent performance based on cyclo-N5-.

Solid-State Conformational Flexibility at Work: Energetic Landscape of a Single Crystal-to-Single Crystal Transformation in a Cyclic Hexapeptoid.

Project description:We describe the energetic landscape beyond the solid-state dynamic behavior of a cyclic hexapeptoid decorated with four propargyl and two methoxyethyl side chains, namely, cyclo-(Nme-Npa2)2, Nme = N-(methoxyethyl)glycine, Npa = N-(propargyl)glycine. By increasing the temperature above 40 °C, the acetonitrile solvate form 1A starts to release acetonitrile molecules and undergoes a reversible single crystal-to-single crystal transformation into crystal form 1B with a remarkable conformational change in the macrocycle: two propargyl side chains move by 113° to form an unprecedented "CH-π zipper". Then, upon acetonitrile adsorption, the "CH-π zipper" opens and the crystal form 1B transforms back to 1A. By conformational energy and lattice energy calculations, we demonstrate that the dramatic side-chain movement is a peculiar feature of the solid-state assembly and is determined by a backbone conformational change that leads to stabilizing CH···OC backbone-to-backbone interactions tightening the framework upon acetonitrile release. Weak interactions as CH···OC and CH-π bonds with the guest molecules are able to reverse the transformation, providing the energy contribution to unzip the framework. We believe that the underlined mechanism could be used as a model system to understand how external stimuli (as temperature, humidity, or volatile compounds) could determine conformational changes in the solid state.

In situ electrochemical conversion of CO2 in molten salts to advanced energy materials with reduced carbon emissions.

Project description:Fixation of CO2 on the occasion of its generation to produce advanced energy materials has been an ideal solution to relieve global warming. We herein report a delicately designed molten salt electrolyzer using molten NaCl-CaCl2-CaO as electrolyte, soluble GeO2 as Ge feedstock, conducting substrates as cathode, and carbon as anode. A cathode-anode synergy is verified for coelectrolysis of soluble GeO2 and in situ-generated CO2 at the carbon anode to cathodic Ge nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanotubes (Ge@CNTs), contributing to enhanced oxygen evolution at carbon anode and hence reduced CO2 emissions. When evaluated as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, the Ge@CNTs hybrid shows high reversible capacity, long cycle life, and excellent high-rate capability. The process contributes to metallurgy with reduced carbon emissions, in operando CO2 fixation to advanced energy materials, and upgraded conversion of carbon bulks to CNTs.

Fundulus heteroclitus exposed to Cr(III)

Project description:Cr(III) is the dominant toxicant at some Superfund sites within the United States and therefore we are interested in its effects. Cr(III)’s mechanisms are not well studied or understood because of its low bioavailability. We have attempted to characterize the effects of Cr(III) on gene expression in the liver of adult male Fundulus heteroclitus. The NOEC and LOEC were determined at 32 and 64mg/L, respectively, by measuring growth after exposing juveniles for 30 days. Secondary exposures were performed with adult males at 32mg/L, livers excised, and RNA extracted. Microarrays were probed with cDNA from untreated or Cr(III)-exposed adult fish and gene expression was quantified. Cr(III) at 32mg/L altered the expression of 5 genes, including GSTalpha, GSTtheta, and ALDH4. Ultimately, we anticipate using this gene expression information to determine whether chromium is available at potentially adverse concentrations in contaminated sites. Keywords: dose response
