Title: Comprehensive End-to-End Design of Novel High Energy Density Materials: II. Computational Modeling and Predictions

Abstract

In this work, we have proposed a holistic approach to design novel energetic materials by bridging synthesis, experimental characterization, computational modeling, and validation. Multiscale computational modeling that combines first-principles calculations, analytical theory, and empirical statistical analysis served to further advance the proposed methodology. The established materials design guiding principles led to development of a set of new energetic molecules, PHE-1, PHE-2, and PHE-3, that represent improved variations of the heterocyclic energetics and are predicted to be superior to the existing conventional energetic materials. Molecular mechanisms of the enhanced performance and sensitivity of the proposed energetic materials as a function of their chemical composition and structure are discussed.

Comprehensive End-to-End Design of Novel High Energy Density Materials: I. Synthesis and Characterization of Oxadiazole Based Heterocycles

Journal Article Tsyshevsky, Roman ; Pagoria, Philip ; Zhang, Maoxi ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

A methodology to design novel energetic materials by means of a holistic approach that links synthesis, experimental characterization, quantum-chemical modeling, and statistical empirical evaluation is proposed. An analysis of the revealed structure–property–function correlations in the LLM compound series (oxadiazole-based heterocyclic energetics), BNFF, BNFF-1, LLM-172, LLM-191, and LLM-192, led us to predict, obtain, and characterize a new member in the materials family, LLM-200, which exhibits attractive energetic characteristics compared to known conventional high energy density materials. Finally, while the applied strategy convincingly demonstrated feasibility of the end-to-end design of high energy density materials, there are certain limitations in parallel improvements ofmore »« less

Comprehensive End-To-End Design of Novel High Energy Density Materials: III. Fused Heterocyclic Energetic Compounds

Journal Article Tsyshevsky, Roman ; Smirnov, Aleksandr S. ; Kuklja, Maija M. - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

In contrast to synthesis and experimental characterization that are usually expensive and time-consuming, a coupled combination of ab initio and group additive theoretical methods represents a powerful alternative to computationally design and characterize new materials with targeted properties. Heterocyclic energetic materials are considered attractive candidates to replace conventional high explosives, such as PETN, RDX, HMX, and TNT. Heterocycles enable an intriguing opportunity for combinatorial design of new classes of energetic materials with targeted performance and sensitivity properties and offer ways for an accurate analysis of structure–property correlations of the materials. By using a computational strategy that links methods of quantummore »« less

Design and analysis of forward and reverse models for predicting defect accumulation, defect energetics, and irradiation conditions

Journal Article Stewart, James A. ; Kohnert, Aaron A. ; Capolungo, Laurent ; ... - Computational Materials Science

The complexity of radiation effects in a material’s microstructure makes developing predictive models a difficult task. In principle, a complete list of all possible reactions between defect species being considered can be used to elucidate damage evolution mechanisms and its associated impact on microstructure evolution. However, a central limitation is that many models use a limited and incomplete catalog of defect energetics and associated reactions. Even for a given model, estimating its input parameters remains a challenge, especially for complex material systems. Here, we present a computational analysis to identify the extent to which defect accumulation, energetics, and irradiation conditionsmore »« less

Disturbance accommodating control design for wind turbines using solvability conditions

Journal Article Wang, Na ; Wright, Alan D. ; Balas, Mark J. - Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement, and Control

In this study, solvability conditions for disturbance accommodating control (DAC) have been discussed and applied on wind turbine controller design in above-rated wind speed to regulate rotor speed and to mitigate turbine structural loads. DAC incorporates a predetermined waveform model and uses it as part of the state-space formulation, which is known as the internal model principle to reduce or minimize the wind disturbance effects on the outputs of the wind turbine. An asymptotically stabilizing DAC controller with disturbance impact on the wind turbine being totally canceled out can be found if certain conditions are fulfilled.

Computational Design of an Iron Catalyst for Olefin Metathesis

Journal Article Yang, Bo ; Truhlar, Donald G. - Organometallics

Olefin metathesis is a versatile reaction in synthetic chemistry. The use of iron compounds as olefin metathesis catalysts has attracted interest but has not succeeded because most Fe complexes catalyze cyclopropanation reactions preferentially to cycloreversion, which is a key step in the metathesis reaction cycle. In the present study, we performed density functional theory calculations to study the catalytic effect of ancillary pincer ligands in an Fe organometallic catalyst for olefin metathesis. We show here that the partial atomic charge on Fe in the metallocyclobutane intermediate is a descriptor for the tendency of the Fe complex to favor olefin metathesismore »« less
