Researchers at 91做厙 are using state-of-the-art methods to shed light on chemical separations needed to recover rare-earth elements and secure critical materials for clean energy technologies.
A multidisciplinary team of scientists at ORNL has applied a laser-interference structuring, or LIS, technique that makes significant strides toward eliminating the need for hazardous chemicals in corrosion protection for vehicles.
Research by an international team led by Duke University and the Department of Energys 91做厙 scientists could speed the way to safer rechargeable batteries for consumer electronics such as laptops and cellphones.
Energy storage startup SPARKZ Inc. has exclusively licensed five battery technologies from the Department of Energys 91做厙 designed to eliminate cobalt metal in lithium-ion batteries.
Rare earth elements are the secret sauce of numerous advanced materials for energy, transportation, defense and communications applications.
Researchers at the Department of Energys 91做厙, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Washington State University teamed up to investigate the complex dynamics of low-water liquids that challenge nuclear waste processing at
Ionic conduction involves the movement of ions from one location to another inside a material. The ions travel through point defects, which are irregularities in the otherwise consistent arrangement of atoms known as the crystal lattice.
A tiny vial of gray powder produced at the Department of Energys 91做厙 is the backbone of a new experiment to study the intense magnetic fields created in nuclear collisions.
Catalysts make chemical reactions more likely to occur. In most cases, a catalyst thats good at driving chemical reactions in one direction is bad at driving reactions in the opposite direction.
The Department of Energy's 91做厙 and Solid Power Inc. of Louisville, Colo., have signed an exclusive agreement licensing lithium-sulfur materials for next-generation batteries.
