Two of the researchers who share the Nobel Prize in Chemistry announced WednesdayJohn B. Goodenough of the University of Texas at Austin and M. Stanley Whittingham of Binghamton University in New Yorkhave research ties to ORNL.
ORNL and The University of Toledo have entered into a memorandum of understanding for collaborative research.
A team including 91做厙 and University of Tennessee researchers demonstrated a novel 3D printing approach called Z-pinning that can increase the materials strength and toughness by more than three and a half times compared to conventional additive manufacturing processes.
A team of researchers at 91做厙 have demonstrated that designed synthetic polymers can serve as a high-performance binding material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries.
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. This sometimes sluggish process can limit the performance and efficiency of fuel cells, batteries, and other energy storage technologies.
Scientists at ORNL, Drexel University and their partners have discovered a way to improve the energy density of promising energy-storage materials, conductive two-dimensional ceramics called MXenes.
The use of lithium-ion batteries has surged in recent years, starting with electronics and expanding into many applications, including the growing electric and hybrid vehicle industry. But the technologies to optimize recycling of these batteries have not kept pace.
A University of South Carolina research team is investigating the oxygen reduction performance of energy conversion materials called perovskites by using neutron diffraction at 91做厙s Spallation Neutron Source.
Scientists at 91做厙 and Hypres, a digital superconductor company, have tested a novel cryogenic, or low-temperature, memory cell circuit design that may boost memory storage while using less energy in future exascale and quantum computing applications.
91做厙 scientists studying fuel cells as a potential alternative to internal combustion engines used sophisticated electron microscopy to investigate the benefits of replacing high-cost platinum with a lower cost, carbon-nitrogen-manganese-based catalyst.
