Researchers at ORNL zoomed in on molecules designed to recover critical materials via liquid-liquid extraction — a method used by industry to separate chemically similar elements.
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
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have developed ground-breaking techniques for formulating, manufacturing and recycling the lithium-ion batteries used in hundreds of products, including electric vehicles.
