Article Abstract
We present the development of the method for the refitting the ReaxFF parameters for a system consisting of the mixed transition metal oxides. We have tested several methods allowing to calculate the differences between the vectors of the forces acting on atoms obtained from the reference DFT simulation and the parameters-dependent ReaxFF. We conclude that the footrule method yields the best parameters among the investigated options. We then validate the parameters using the system consisting of the hematite supported (TiO) clusters. The results indicate the refitted parameters allow to obtain acceptable geometries of the clusters upon MD simulation on the ReaxFF level, and despite the short timescale lead to the stable structures.

A detailed understanding of the composition and polymerization mechanism of elemental sulfur remains a decades long unresolved question for modern chemistry. However, the dynamic nature of molten sulfur significantly complicates its accurate characterization. To overcome this challenge, we performed the first comprehensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using a ReaxFF reactive force field specifically parameterized to capture the complex ring-opening polymerization dynamics of elemental sulfur.

Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) emerged as a promising route to tackle solid pollution induced by lignin to obtain syngas. Combined with the characteristics of SCWG technology for hydrogen-rich generation and CO gasification technology for CO-rich generation, the use of CO atmosphere in the SCWG of biomass could effectively regulate the H/CO molar ratio in syngas. The study of the SCWG mechanism of lignin in CO atmosphere was conducive to the understanding and optimization of the lignin conversion process and reaction pathways.

Supercritical fluids (SCFs) have attracted significant attention as solvents for chemical reactions due to their unique properties, such as high diffusivity, low viscosity, and tunable solvation properties. These properties profoundly influence reaction kinetics and are often attributed to the formation of molecular clusters within SCFs. To study the effect of supercritical solvent on chemical reactivity and dynamics of reactions, one needs to understand the dynamics of clusters in supercritical fluid.

The term "ReaxFF-nn" refers to the reactive force field (ReaxFF) with neural networks. In the current work, we have incorporated it into the general utility lattice program (GULP) and the large-scale atomic/molecular massively parallel simulator (LAMMPS), which are programmed with modern FORTRAN and C++, respectively. The parameters of ReaxFF-nn can be trained using our I-ReaxFF package.

Nitrocyclohexane (NCH) is regarded as a highly promising energetic liquid fuel and additive for pulse detonation engines (PDEs) due to its excellent ignition performance and rapid energy release characteristics. Developing a detailed kinetic model for NCH is crucial for understanding its combustion characteristics and accurately predicting its behavior under actual operating conditions. In this study, reactive molecular dynamics (RMD) simulations were performed employing the force field and the canonical (NVT) ensemble to investigate the temperature-dependent kinetic behavior of NCH.
