Bubbling a flue gas mixture through an aqueous solution of a simple bis-iminoguanidine (GBIG) leads to CO2 capture as a crystalline bicarbonate salt.
On November 26, 2018, researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory received the Joule Award from Barbara Hoffheins of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of International Nuclear Safeguards.

Scientific Achievement
A self-limiting phase transformation was discovered between a solid electrolyte (SE) and Li-metal using real time, in situ scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM).
