Abstract
This study investigated the reaction mechanism of aluminum-magnesium (Al-Mg) alloy particles with water (Al-Mg/H2O) through thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry experiments and kinetic analysis using isoconversional methods and the master plot technique to determine the reaction mechanism function, with the aim of providing insights to support metal powder/water ramjet engine design and combustion characteristics. The results showed that the Al-Mg/H2O reaction occurred in two distinct stages, with stage 1 primarily involving the reaction of Mg elements in the L(Al-Mg) alloy with water while Al played a leading role in stage 2. Notably, the reaction temperatures of Al-Mg particles were significantly lower than those for either Al or Mg particles alone in a water vapor environment. Additionally, the activation energy of stage 1 was lower than that for the individual Al and Mg particles and decreased with increasing Mg content in stage 2. Furthermore, the concentration of Mg in the alloy was found to have a major influence on the reaction mechanism, which followed a random nucleation and growth model. Overall, this work elucidated an alternating endothermic and exothermic staged reaction process for Al-Mg/H2O dominated first by Mg and then Al with kinetic insights providing theoretical support for optimizing Al-Mg alloy compositions for improved ignition and combustion performance in metal powder/water ramjet engines.

Abstract
The precipitation and deposition of asphaltene on solid surfaces present a significant challenge throughout all stages of petroleum recovery, from hydrocarbon reservoirs in porous media to wellbore and transfer pipelines. A comprehensive understanding of asphaltene aggregation phenomena is crucial for controlling deposition issues. In addition to experimental studies, accurate prediction of asphaltene aggregation kinetics, which has received less attention in previous research, is essential. This study proposes an artificial intelligence-based framework for precisely predicting asphaltene particle aggregation kinetics. Different techniques were utilized to predict the asphaltene aggregate diameter as a function of pressure, temperature, oil specific gravity, and oil asphaltene content. These methods included the adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference system (ANFIS), radial basis function (RBF) neural network optimized with the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm, extreme learning machine (ELM), and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) coupled with Bayesian Regularization (BR), Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), and Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG) algorithms. The models were constructed using a series of published data. The results indicate the excellent correlation between predicted and experimental values using various models. However, the GWO-RBF modeling strategy demonstrated the highest accuracy among the developed models, with a determination coefficient, average absolute relative deviation percent, and root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.9993, 1.1326%, and 0.0537, respectively, for the total data.

Abstract
Laser-induced crystal nucleation through optical tweezing, and in particular polymorph selection through laser polarization, promises unprecedented control over crystallization. However, in the absence of a nearby liquid-liquid critical point or miscibility gap, the origin of the required mesoscale clusters remains unclear. A number of recent studies of so-called nonclassical nucleation have suggested the presence of large amorphous clusters. Here, we show that supersaturated aqueous glycine solutions form metastable intermediate particles that are off the direct path to crystal nucleation. Laser-induced crystal nucleation only occurs when the laser "activates" one of these particles. In situ low-frequency Raman spectroscopy is used to demonstrate their amorphous or partially ordered character and transformation to various crystal polymorphs. The requirement for solution aging in many previously reported laser-induced crystal nucleation experiments strongly suggests that the presence of amorphous intermediates is a general requirement.

Abstract
Sputter deposition of atoms onto liquid substrates aims at producing colloidal dispersions of small monodisperse ultrapure nanoparticles (NPs). Since sputtering onto liquids combines the advantages of the physical vapor deposition technique and classical colloidal synthesis, the review contains chapters explaining the basics of (magnetron) sputter deposition and the formation of NPs in solution. This review article covers more than 132 papers published on this topic from 1996 to September 2021 and aims at providing a critical analysis of most of the reported data; we will address the influence of the sputtering parameters (sputter power, current, voltage, sputter time, working gas pressure, and the type of sputtering plasma) and host liquid properties (composition, temperature, viscosity, and surface tension) on the NP formation as well as a detailed overview of the properties and applications of the produced NPs.

Abstract
Galvanic replacement between metals has received notable research interest for the synthesis of heterometallic nanostructures. The growth pattern of the nanostructures depends on several factors such as extent of lattice mismatch, adhesive interaction between the metals, cohesive forces of the individual metals, etc. Due to the difficulties in probing ultrafast kinetics of the galvanic replacement reaction and particle growth in solution, real-time mechanistic investigations are often limited. As a result, the growth mechanism of one metal on the surface of another metal at the nanoscale is poorly understood so far. In the present work, we could successfully probe the galvanic replacement of silver ions with nickel nanoparticles, stabilized in a polymer membrane, using two complementary methods, namely, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and radiolabeling, and the results are supported by density functional theory (DFT) computations. The silver-nickel system has been chosen for the present investigation because of the high degree of bulk immiscibility caused by the large lattice mismatch (15.9%) and the weak adhesive interaction, which makes it a perfect model system for immiscible metal pairs. Membrane, as a host medium, plays a crucial role in retarding the kinetics of atomic and particle rearrangements (nucleation and growth) due to slower mobility of the atoms (monomers) and particles within the polymer network. This allowed us to examine the real-time concentration of silver monomers during galvanic replacement of silver ions with nickel nanoparticles and evolution of Ni/Ag nanoparticles. From combined experiment and DFT computations, it has been demonstrated, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, that the majority of silver atoms, which are produced on the nickel nanoparticle surface by galvanic reactions, do not form traditional core-shell nanostructures with nickel and undergo a self-governing sequential nucleation and growth of silver nanoparticles via formation of intermediate prenucleation silver clusters, leading to the formation of mixed metallic nanoparticles in the membrane. The surface of NiNPs has a heterogeneous effect on the silver nucleation pathway, which is evident from the reduced critical free energy barrier of nucleation (ΔGcrit). The present work establishes an original mechanistic pathway based on a sequential nucleation model for formation of mixed metallic nanoparticles by the galvanic replacement route, which opens up future possibilities for size-controlled synthesis in mixed systems.

Abstract
Improving the performance of noble-metal nanocrystals in various applications critically depends on our ability to manipulate their synthesis in a rational, robust, and controllable fashion. Different from a conventional trial-and-error approach, the reduction kinetics of a colloidal synthesis has recently been demonstrated as a reliable knob for controlling the synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals in a deterministic and predictable manner. Here we present a brief Viewpoint on the recent progress in leveraging reduction kinetics for controlling and predicting the outcome of a synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals. With a focus on Pd nanocrystals, we first offer a discussion on the correlation between the initial reduction rate and the internal structure of the resultant seeds. The kinetic approaches for controlling both nucleation and growth in a one-pot setting are then introduced with an emphasis on manipulation of the reduction pathways taken by the precursor. We then illustrate how to extend the strategy into a bimetallic system for the preparation of nanocrystals with different shapes and elemental distributions. Finally, the influence of speciation of the precursor on reduction kinetics is highlighted, followed by our perspectives on the challenges and future endeavors in achieving a controllable and predictable synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals.
