Real-time measurements captured by researchers at ORNL provide missing insight into chemical separations to recover cobalt, a critical raw material used to make batteries and magnets for modern technologies.
Scientists seeking ways to improve a battery’s ability to hold a charge longer, using advanced materials that are safe, stable and efficient, have determined that the materials themselves are only part of the solution.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists seeking the source of charge loss in lithium-ion batteries demonstrated that coupling a thin-film cathode with a solid electrolyte is a rapid way to determine the root cause.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have built a novel microscope that provides a “chemical lens” for viewing biological systems including cell membranes and biofilms.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, are advancing gas membrane materials to expand practical technology options for reducing industrial carbon emissions.
Energy-efficient CO2 capture from a flue gas simulant is demonstrated via crystallization of structurally unique bicarbonate-water clusters with an aqueous guanidine sorbent.
A new method was developed for the discovery of fundamental descriptors for gas adsorption through deep learning neural network (DNN) approach. This approach has great potential to identify structural parameters for gas adsorption.
A two‐step topotactic pathway for the preparation of phosphabenzene‐based porous organic polymers (POPs) under metal‐free conditions was achieved without the use of unstable phosphorus‐based monomers.
The elusive interfacial chemistry underlying solvent extraction has been mapped in real time using nonlinear laser spectroscopy
By combining the classic anion receptor calix[4]pyrrole (C4P) and a phenolic ligand, a remarkable enhancement in selectivity was found for Cs+ over Na+, which was confirmed by crystal structures and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), which sh
