In this work, we develop a single-ion-conducting polymer electrolyte based solid state battery that has high rate capabilities and improved dendrite resistance.

Silicon offers exceptional capacity for all-solid-state batteries but suffers from large volume changes that raise internal pressure, break interfacial contact, and degrade performance.

Manufacturing of fibers with co-continuous morphology throughout its cross-section is difficult to achieve. Fibers with small diameter often requires spinneret with smaller orifice which often gets clogged.

Oligomers do not form entangled structures and as such are difficult to make in fiber or filament forms.

This invention introduces techniques that significantly advance the capabilities of vibrational imaging and detection. One technique improves sensitivity and noise performance.

This invention reports the preparation and characterization of a novel, high-performance polyamide material.

Separation of key rare earths elements using a two-ligand separation process that combines lipophilic and hydrophilic neutral ligands with contrasting selectivity.

A pressure relief device has been invented that can operate multiple times  in the fusion fuel environment of  cold cryogenic temperatures less than 20 K and with the radioactive tritium fuel gas.

Future fusion power producing reactors will require high density and high confinement plasmas with long pulse deuterium-tritium (D-T) operation.

A pellet injector for plasma fueling and ELM pacing has been designed that is both continuous and tritium compatible.  The injector is based on a cryogenically cooled screw extruder.
