SUMMARY:3D elemental mapping with nanometer-scale resolution using atom probe tomography (APT)
DESCRIPTION:Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube\nMasoud Dialameh\,  \nIMEC\, Belgium \nAtom probe tomography (APT) is a powerful microscopy technique that uniquely combines three-dimensional mapping of atomic distributions with the elemental identification for both light and heavy elements\, achieving sub-nanometer spatial resolution [1]. This capability enables a variety of analysis modes for materials characterization\, including voxel-based 3D composition analysis with parts-per-million sensitivity [1]\, cluster identification and characterization of solute clusters\, precipitates\, and segregated regions down to ~1 nm radius size [2]\, nearest-neighbour distribution analysis\, and proximity histograms for interface characterization. \nThe physical principle of APT is based on controlled field evaporation\, whereby atoms are sequentially removed from a needle-shaped specimen and identified using a position-sensitive detector coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry. This enables atomic-scale information to be obtained from local nanometer-sized regions of a material\, in contrast to most X-ray–based techniques that provide ensemble-averaged measurements over many atoms. APT requires specimen preparation in form of needle-shaped tips with a radius below 50 nm which typically involves focused ion beam (FIB) milling. \nThis webinar will provide a brief introduction to the fundamentals of APT\, including field evaporation process\, specimen preparation\, data acquisition\, and 3D data reconstruction. Selected case studies on materials relevant to the circular economy and the semiconductor industry will be presented\, with a focus on highlighting both the potential and the limitations of APT for analysis various material systems. \n  \nReferences \n[1] Gault\, Baptiste\, et al. “Atom probe tomography.” Nature Reviews Methods Primers 1.1 (2021): 51. \n[2] De Geuser\, Frédéric\, and Baptiste Gault. “Metrology of small particles and solute clusters by atom probe tomography.” Acta Materialia 188 (2020): 406-415.

SUMMARY:Structure and dynamics in cellulose-based\, electrically conductive polymer films
DESCRIPTION:Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube\nLucas Kreuzer\,  \nHeinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ\, FRM II) Technical University of Munich\, Germany \nPEDOT:PSS is a water-dispersable and electrically conductive polymer blend that is increasingly applied in numerous fields such as batteries and super-capacitors. While\nmany studies focus on performance optimization\, degradation issues because of humid environments are rarely discussed: PEDOT:PSS absorbs significant amounts of water\n(~50 wt%)\, which leads to a pronounced swelling factor of up to 1.6. \nThe integration of PEDOT:PSS into a cellulose nanofibril (CNF) matrix enhances significantly the mechanical integrity and prevents film swelling\, whereas a certain water\namount is still absorbed into the PEDOT:PSS/CNF films (~24 wt%). By studying the water dynamics under varying ambient relative humidity (RH) conditions\, we identified\ntwo water species inside the films: fast-moving bulk water and slow-moving hydration water. Under dry conditions\, bulk water is completely released from the films\, while\nsome of the hydration water remains within them. In humid environments\, both water species are present. \nThe altered water content inside the PEDOT:PSS/CNF films in dependence of RH\, leads to changing water-cellulose interactions\, structural re-arrangements\, and tunable\nelectrical conductivity. Under dry conditions\, only some hydration water is present in the films and PEDOT:PSS – CNF interactions become more dominant. As a consequence\,\nPEDOT:PSS wets on the CNF\, thereby leading to an increased conductivity. Under high RH conditions this is reversed: the high water content inside the films promotes de-\nwetting of PEDOT:PSS and the electrical conductivity decreases. \nWater – polymer interactions have been studied using quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS)\, while the film nano-morphology of the PEDOT:PSS/CNF films was investigated\nwith grazing-incidence small angle neutron scattering (GISANS) and time-of-flight neutron reflectivity (ToF-NR).

SUMMARY:SANS study of water sorption and desorption of hygroscopic salt-embedded porous gelatin substrate in a humidity-controlled environment
DESCRIPTION:Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube (soon)\nYi Zhang\,\nISIS\, UK \nBiopolymer composites are actively researched as alternatives to synthetic polymer materials owing to their potential advantages in alleviating environment impacts\, biodegradability\, and cost-effectiveness. The water sorption and desorption behaviours of these materials are of interest in a wide range of research topics\, including water retention in biomedical applications and atmospheric water harvesting. Gelatin is an abundant biopolymer in animal resources and is known to be hygroscopic. However\, it is not suitable for water harvesting applications in its native forms due to its slow response to changes in humidity in the surrounding. In this work\, we introduced pores and embedded hygroscopic salts in the gelatin substrates\, and tested their behaviours at various humidity levels\, as a model system to study water sorption and desorption in hygroscopic biopolymer composite-based water harvesting devices. SANS was applied in situ to reveal variations in the locations of water through changes in the structures and contrasts at the interfaces and within the gel network. The results help us better understand sorption and desorption events in such composites and would hopefully support more rational design of water harvesting devices with capillary-gel matrices in the future.

SUMMARY:Phyto-mining to recover critical raw materials from mining wastes
DESCRIPTION:Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube (soon)\nValeria Indelicato\,  \nInstituto Universitario di Studi Superiori of Pavia\, University of Catania\, Italy \nIndelicato Valeria1\,2\,3\, Punturo Rosalda2\,3\, Nogues Isabel4\, Guglietta Daniela3\, Passatore Laura4\, Maldonado Gavilan\nNoelia5\, Victor Piñon6\, Lorenzo Massimi7\,8\n1 Department of Science\, Technology and Society\, University School for Advanced Studies IUSS Pavia\, Pavia\,\nItaly\n2 Department of Biological\, Geological and Environmental Sciences\, University of Catania\, Catania\, Italy\n3 Institute of Environmental Geology and Geoengineering (IGAG-CNR)\, Rome\, Italy\n4 Research Institute on Terrestrial Ecosystems\, National Research Council (IRET-CNR)\, Rome\, Italy\n5 Centre for Micro Analysis of Materials (CMAM)\, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM)\, Madrid\, Spain\n6 Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL)\, Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas\, Heraklion\,\nCrete\, Greece\n7 Department of Environmental Biology\, Sapienza University of Rome\, Rome\, Italy\n8 Institute of Atmospheric Pollution Research (IIA-CNR)\, Monterotondo St.\, Rome\, Italy \nThe recovery of critical and strategic raw materials (CRMs) from mining waste is a key challenge for the European Union’s transition toward a circular and sustainable economy. Among the possible solutions\, phyto-mining\, the use of plants to extract and concentrate metals from soils and waste materials\, offers an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional mining.\nIn this study\, serpentinite quarry wastes from the Sila Piccola Massif (southern Italy) were collected and analysed through optical microscopy\, SEM-EDS\, and XRF within the framework of the ReMade@ARI–RECAMP project (Recovery of Critical rAw Materials from Mining wastes through Plants; PID27426). Serpentinite\, which is the main lithotype in the area\, proved to contain significant amounts of Ni\, Co\, Cr\, Mn\, and Mg elements that are of economic and/or strategic importance for the EU. \nExperiments were carried out using Helianthus annuus (sunflower) grown on a control pot substrate and on serpentinite waste material (alone or amended by a mycorrhizae fertilizer) to evaluate the plant’s capacity to uptake and concentrate metals from these substrates. After three months\, plant tissues and soil samples were analysed using LIBS\, PIXE\, and ICP to compare detection efficiency and accuracy among techniques.\nThe combined use of these analytical methods highlights their complementarity: LIBS effectively detects major elements (e.g.\, Mg\, Ca) but may underestimate trace metals such as Ni and Co due to spectral interference from Fe; PIXE provides greater sensitivity for light and transition elements which present larger effective cross sections for this technique; while ICP served as the reference method to obtain total elemental concentrations and validate the results from the non-destructive techniques.\nPreliminary ICP data indicate that sunflower plants accumulate measurable concentrations of Ni\, Co\, and Mg\, but the overall phytoextraction efficiency is limited by the low bioavailability of these metals in serpentinite wastes\, mainly due to their mineralogical bonding and alkaline conditions. \nOverall\, integrating phyto-mining experiments with multi-analytical techniques improves our understanding of plant–metal interactions and supports the sustainable valorisation of serpentinite wastes as a secondary source of critical and strategic raw materials.

SUMMARY:Operando adsorption of heavy metals and their recycling into electrodes for energy storage
DESCRIPTION:Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube\nMarcelo AMARO DE ANDRADE\,  \nInstitut des Matériaux Jean Rouxel de Nantes\, France \nTreating wastewater contaminated with heavy metals often relies on passive adsorption using high-surface area materials\, but once these adsorbents are saturated\, they become hazardous waste themselves. In this work\, Hg2+ cations uptake by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was tracked under continuous-flow conditions\, using operando techniques to get a realistic picture of the adsorption process. A microfluidic platform was combined with Hg L3-edge synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to monitor\, in real time\, how mercury coordinates and loads onto rGO during adsorption. At the same time\, an electrochemical quartz-crystal microbalance (EQCM) was used to independently follow changes in mass and viscoelastic properties of the rGO layer under model wastewater flow. This approach allowed to distinguish between strongly bound (chemisorbed) and more weakly coordinated (physisorbed) mercury species\, and to observe how these forms changed dynamically as adsorption progressed. 1 \nOn top of that\, the metals captured in these materials can also be used as redox-active components for further applications. Our group previously showed how rGO foams used to capture Hg2+ cations from model wastewater (rGO/Hgads) can be directly recycled into self-standing electrodes without extra chemical or thermal steps. In H2SO4\, these electrodes combine double-layer capacitance with redox-based faradaic reactions\, resulting in about 33% higher gravimetric capacity compared to pristine rGO (Figure 1 – left). 2 \nTo understand the charge-storage mechanism\, operando synchrotron Hg L3-edge XAS was used\, in addition to operando EQCM. Time-resolved XANES revealed two main mercury states: oxidized Hg(II) and a reduced state most consistent with Hg(I). Their concentration profiles show reversible cycling between Hg(II) and Hg(I)\, which corresponds to the electrochemical features observed in cyclic voltammetry. Hg(II) is consumed at the reduction peak around 0.60 V\, and regenerated at the oxidation peak near 0.64 V\, starting as early as 0.45 V (Figure 1 – right). This suggests that redox changes are not limited by simple thermodynamics\, and the capacity gain comes indeed from the adsorbed cations. L₃-edge jump analysis shows that the total mercury content changes with potential\, showing considerable mercury movement in and around the electrode during cycling\, which was correlated to EQCM-D measures. Overall\, this ReMade project allowed to understand both the heavy-metal capture mechanism\, and their later contribution to the electrochemistry by redox changes\, helping to advance new ways of combining environmental remediation with energy storage materials. \nReferences: \n\nAndrade\, M.

SUMMARY:Mechanisms of Pd nanoparticle formation and strong metal-support interaction in Pd/TiO2 revealed by operando XAS
DESCRIPTION:Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube\nElizaveta KOZYR\,  \nE. Kozyr1\, P. Paciok2\, R. Pellegrini3\, M. Chiesa1\, Elena Groppo1\, L. Mino1\, A. Bugaev4 \n1University of Turin\, Italy; 2Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH\, Germany; 3ALBAChimet S.p.A\, Italy;\n4Paul Scherrer Institute\, Switzerland; elizaveta.kozyr@unito.it \nUnderstanding the formation of active phases and metal-support interactions is essential for the rational design of efficient photocatalysts. In this work\, Pd/TiO2 catalysts prepared by photodeposition and deposition-precipitation were investigated using a combination of operando synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and complementary microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. A custom operando photocatalytic cell enabled in situ monitoring of the Pd photodeposition process\, revealing the formation of single-atom Pd(0) sites as an initial step followed by the growth of ~1 nm Pd nanoparticles with narrow size distribution. Photodeposited catalysts exhibit strong metal-support interaction (SMSI)\, associated with the presence of Ti³⁺ sites at the Pd/TiO2 interface and direct Pd-Ti interactions observed by XAS\, EPR\, and EELS. These features lead to enhanced stabilization of metallic Pd even under oxidizing conditions\, in contrast to catalysts prepared by deposition-precipitation. The results highlight how synthesis pathways govern nanoparticle formation mechanisms and metal-support interactions in Pd/TiO2 photocatalysts. \nAcknowledgements \nWe thank ReMade@ARIE funded by the European Union as part of the Horizon Europe call HORIZON-INFRA-2021-SERV-01 under grant agreement number 101058414 and co-funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education\, Research and Innovation (SERI) under contract number 22.00187 for the access to the HR-STEM measurements (ERC\, Julich\, Germany) and XAS measurements at SuperXAS beamline of Swiss Light Source.

SUMMARY:Scalable and longer-lasting bulk metals for public health and infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube (soon)\nLiliana ROMERO RESENDIZ \nBournemounth University\, UK \nImagine a structural metal that is simultaneously stronger and more ductile (flexible) than conventional options – and can even kill bacteria on contact. This is now possible through heterostructured materials\, which combine soft and hard regions within the same metal to create internal mechanical interactions that enhance overall performance. \nThis talk introduces the design principles of these architectures and explains why they outperform traditional alloys across multiple metrics. Using results from the ReMade@ARI initiative\, I will show how cryogenic deformation triggers a cascade of crystal defect mechanisms that progressively sustain work hardening. \nBeyond mechanical superiority\, heterostructuring can embed antimicrobial functionality into bulk metals without sacrificing durability. These findings open pathways toward scalable\, multifunctional materials for demanding applications: from safer medical devices and water infrastructure to resilient energy systems and cryogenic transport.

SUMMARY:In situ characterization of food and plastic waste carbonized under pressure
DESCRIPTION:Zoom webinar | Replay on Youtube (soon)\nFrancesco D’ACIERNO \nKU Leuven\, Belgium \n  \nIn situ investigations of soft-matter carbonization are essential to connect processing conditions with final carbon structure and function. Here we report time-resolved structural and chemical monitoring of autogenic pressure carbonization of non-recyclable commodity plastics performed directly inside sealed quartz capillaries. We also treated food waste-derived sugars through alkaline and neutral hydrothermal carbonization in water and ionic liquids. By combining synchrotron-grade WAXS and SAXS with in-situ Raman spectroscopy\, and supporting ex-situ XPS surface analysis\, we follow the transformation from disordered organic networks to carbonaceous solids under self-generated pressure in real time.\n\nSAXS reveals the emergence and coarsening of nanoscale porosity and density inhomogeneities early in the heating profile\, while WAXS captures the progressive development of short-range aromatic stacking (broadening and gradual appearance of 002-type scattering). Raman spectra recorded concurrently track the evolution of sp2 domains and defect populations via the D and G bands\, allowing kinetic comparison between plastic and sugar routes. Ex-situ XPS indicates contrasting heteroatom retention: hydrothermal-derived chars retain higher oxygen functionality\, whereas plastic-derived carbons show lower O/C ratios and more pronounced graphitization signatures at equivalent processing stages.\n\nTogether the multimodal dataset supports a unifying mechanism in which precursor chemistry controls the balance between intramolecular rearrangement and intermolecular crosslinking\, setting the pathway for pore formation and aromatic ordering under pressure.
