Demand for lithium is expected to increase drastically due to the use of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in portable electronics and electric vehicles. An efficient method to extract lithium is necessary to help meet this demand.
Technetium is a radioactive isotope that is a byproduct of nuclear processing; there are currently limited mechanisms to capture technetium when uranium is recycled, hindering the efficient recycling of spent nuclear fuel.
Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) has emerged as a promising method for cancer treatment, leveraging Meitner-Auger Electron (MAE)-emitting radionuclides.
Spherical powders applied to nuclear targetry for isotope production will allow for enhanced heat transfer properties, tailored thermal conductivity and minimize time required for target fabrication and post processing.
ORNL will develop an advanced high-performing RTG using a novel radioisotope heat source.
Direct air capture (DAC) technologies that extract carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere are critical for mitigating effects of climate change.
Biocompatible nanoparticles have been developed that can trap and retain therapeutic radionuclides and their byproducts at the cancer site. This is important to maximize the therapeutic effect of this treatment and minimize associated side effects.
Selenate and selenite oxyanions are crystallized together with sulfate anions using ligands. In this approach, we will take advantage of the tendency of these similar oxyanions to co-precipitate into crystalline solid solutions.
A novel molecular sorbent system for low energy CO2 regeneration is developed by employing CO2-responsive molecules and salt in aqueous media where a precipitating CO2--salt fractal network is formed, resulting in solid-phase formation and sedimentation.
