A1 - Csányi, Gábor T1 - A foundation model for atomistic materials chemistry N2 - Atomistic simulations of matter, especially those that leverage first-principles (ab initio) electronic structure theory, provide a microscopic view of the world, underpinning much of our understanding of chemistry and materials science. Over the last decade or so, machine-learned force fields have transformed atomistic modeling by enabling simulations of ab initio quality over unprecedented time and length scales. However, early machine-learning (ML) force fields have largely been limited by (i) the substantial computational and human effort required to develop and validate potentials for each particular system of interest and (ii) a general lack of transferability from one chemical system to the next. Here, we show that it is possible to create a general-purpose atomistic ML model, trained on a public dataset of moderate size, that is capable of running stable molecular dynamics for a wide range of molecules and materials. We demonstrate the power of the MACE-MP-0 model—and its qualitative and at times quantitative accuracy—on a diverse set of problems in the physical sciences, including properties of solids, liquids, gases, chemical reactions, interfaces, and even the dynamics of a small protein. The model can be applied out of the box as a starting or “foundation” model for any atomistic system of interest and, when desired, can be fine-tuned on just a handful of application-specific data points to reach ab initio accuracy. Establishing that a stable force-field model can cover almost all materials changes atomistic modeling in a fundamental way: experienced users obtain reliable results much faster, and beginners face a lower barrier to entry. Foundation models thus represent a step toward democratizing the revolution in atomic-scale modeling that has been brought about by ML force fields.

T1 - Influence of heterogeneous secondary reactions during slow pyrolysis on char oxidation reactivity of woody biomass N2 - The influence of heterogeneous secondary reactions on char oxidation reactivity, which can take place during slow pyrolysis processes in a woody biomass particle, is analyzed in this study. To this end, the oxidative behavior of primary char produced in a thermobalance with initial wood masses of a few milligrams is compared to the behavior of char produced under conditions enhancing secondary reactions, i.e., large particle and bed sizes in fixed-bed reactors. The influence of the Maximum conversion temperature, heating rate, and catalytic effect of inorganics is also studied to compare the effect of each parameter. Results show that a significant reduction in reactivity takes place when char is produced under conditions enhancing These secondary reactions during pyrolysis. The effect is of similar order as the effect as a result of thermal annealing at 900 °C or the catalytic effect of alkali and alkaline earth metals. Therefore, the presence of heterogeneous secondary reactions during pyrolysis should be taken into account in studies addressing biomass char reactivity. Furthermore, it is shown that the reduction of reactivity as a result of secondary reactions is related to neither the loss of oxygen-containing functional groups nor the potential blocking of pores, specially micropores, resulting from the formation of this secondary char. The explanation may, therefore, lie on the deactivation or blocking of active sites by the secondary char.

T1 - Recycling paths for thin-film chalcogenide photovoltaic waste - current feasible processes N2 - Thin film chalcogenide photovoltaic technologies (CIGS, CdTe) make use of critical and toxic materials. Therefore a sound recycling of production waste and of end-of-life PV modules is essential to increase the availability of critical materials and to decrease the environmental impact of the products. Several processes to recover metals and semiconductors from thin-film PV modules have been developed, with some being operated at pilot scale. This paper presents an overview of proven recycling concepts. The approaches were divided into three steps: 'delamination of the modules', 'decoating of the substrate' and 'extraction and refining of the metals and semiconductors' to illustrate possible recycling paths. For each step feasible mechanical or chemical processes are presented and their advantages and drawbacks are described. The results show that recycling technologies for chalcogenide photovoltaic modules are sufficiently explored and commercially available. However, the responsibility to set up efficient collection and recycling systems is in the hands of the PV producers and must be supported by appropriate policies.

T1 - Rückstände aus Industrie und Umwelt - Aufbereitung mittels Geobiotechnologie? N2 - Um den Bedarf der Wirtschaft an Rohstoffen und Energie zu decken, werden ständig neue Rohstofflagerstätten erschlossen. Zusätzlich bemüht man sich darum, zumindest einen Teil der Rohstoffe wieder zu verwerten (Recycling). Der Erfolg hängt erheblich davon ab, wie gut es gelingt, die verschiedenen Stoffe voneinander zu trennen; diese Trennprozesse sind gegenwärtig immer noch unvollkommen. Dadurch fallen beim Recycling Reststoffe an, die noch erhebliche Mengen an Wertstoffen aufweisen. Besonders die Rückstände aus älteren Gewinnungstechnologien enthalten aus heutiger Sicht Konzentrationen, die zum Teil höher als in abbauwürdigen Erzen sind.

T1 - Enhanced Fe and Ni bonded NbC Laser Surface Engineered based Hardmetals: Alternative Cutter Materials for Electric Vehicle Applications N2 - The efforts to substitute both tungsten carbide (WC) and cobalt (Co) has gained prominence in recent years due to the classification of Co as a carcinogen and the classification of Co and W as critical raw materials in the EU as well as within regulations of the U.S. National Toxicology Program. In this study, substitution of both WC and Co with advanced hardmetals consisting of NbC with Ni and Fe-based metal binders are investigated for their use of machining of metals used electric vehicle manufacturing. The developed NbC-Ni/Fe based hardmetals employ a Machining Property Led Tailored Design (MPLTD) approach. This reverse engineering strategy uses data from machining performance to guide the development of microstructural, mechanical, and behavioral properties. Four advanced NbC-based hardmetals were produced, two with Ni-based binders and two with Fe-based binders, along with two reference materials for comparison (WC-Co and straight NbC-12Ni). Hardmetals were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (ADF-STEM), Vickers hardness, fracture toughness, and elastic moduli. Cutting tool inserts were manufactured from the developed hardmetals and enhanced using femto-second laser surface engineering. The inserts’ performance was evaluated through face milling tests on AZ31 automotive magnesium alloy, providing insights into their suitability for high-demand industrial applications. T2 - 21.

T1 - A tissue engineered 3D printed calcium alkali phosphate bioceramic bone graft enables vascularization and regeneration of critical-size discontinuity bony defects in vivo N2 - Recently, efforts towards the development of patient-specific 3D printed scaffolds for bone tissue engineering from bioactive ceramics have continuously intensified. For reconstruction of segmental defects after subtotal mandibulectomy a suitable tissue engineered bioceramic bone graft needs to be endowed with homogenously distributed osteoblasts in order to mimic the advantageous features of vascularized autologous fibula grafts, which represent the standard of care, contain osteogenic cells and are transplanted with the respective blood vessel. Consequently, inducing vascularization early on is pivotal for bone tissue engineering. The current study explored an advanced bone tissue engineering approach combining an advanced 3D printing technique for bioactive resorbable ceramic scaffolds with a perfusion cell culture technique for pre-colonization with mesenchymal stem cells, and with an intrinsic angiogenesis technique for regenerating critical size, segmental discontinuity defects in vivo applying a rat model. To this end, the effect of differing Si-CAOP (silica containing calcium alkali orthophosphate) scaffold microarchitecture arising from 3D powder bed printing (RP) or the Schwarzwalder Somers (SSM) replica fabrication technique on vascularization and bone regeneration was analyzed in vivo. In 80 rats 6-mm segmental discontinuity defects were created in the left femur.
