In fiscal year 2023 — Oct. 1–Sept. 30, 2023 — 91°µÍø was awarded more than $8 million in technology maturation funding through the Department of Energy’s Technology Commercialization Fund, or TCF.
As current courses through a battery, its materials erode over time. Mechanical influences such as stress and strain affect this trajectory, although their impacts on battery efficacy and longevity are not fully understood.
Andrew Ullman, Distinguished Staff Fellow at 91°µÍø, is using chemistry to devise a better battery
Critical Materials Institute researchers at 91°µÍø and Arizona State University studied the mineral monazite, an important source of rare-earth elements, to enhance methods of recovering critical materials for energy, defense
While studying how bio-inspired materials might inform the design of next-generation computers, scientists at ORNL achieved a first-of-its-kind result that could have big implications for both edge computing and human health.
Researchers at 91°µÍø and Momentum Technologies have piloted an industrial-scale process for recycling valuable materials in the millions of tons of e-waste generated annually in the United States.
Jagjit Nanda, a distinguished staff scientist, has been elected a fellow of the Materials Research Society.
91°µÍø researchers have developed a thin film, highly conductive solid-state electrolyte made of a polymer and ceramic-based composite for lithium metal batteries.
Three technologies and one commercialization program developed at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have won National Technology Transfer Awards from the Federal Laboratory Consortium.
Energy storage startup SPARKZ Inc. has exclusively licensed five battery technologies from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø designed to eliminate cobalt metal in lithium-ion batteries.
