Electrolysis is common in the production of clean hydrogen used to produce other chemicals such as ammonia, based on heavy use of precious metals, not mined domestically. Typical electrolyzer components prone to degradation and are not suited for long-term durability.

ORNL's fully on-chip CMOS-fabricated integrated photonic circuit can generate polarization or frequency entangled photons for use in quantum communications and networking.

This work seeks to alter the interface condition through thermal history modification, deposition energy density, and interface surface preparation to prevent interface cracking.

Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the incremental buildup of monolithic components with a variety of materials, and material deposition locations.

Current battery materials such as silicon suffer from poor ion and electron transport due to non-optimal wiring. This invention facilitates particle interconnectedness to facilitate ion motion and electron transport overcoming poor assembly.

This invention describes a new combustion synthesis route to produce high purity, high performance DRX cathodes for next-generation Li-ion batteries.

Photonic hyperentanglement involves pairs of photons entangled in multiple degrees of freedom (DoF), which hold promise for quantum communication protocols. However, the frequency DoF has received less attention due to constraints in evaluating such hyperentangled states.

Separation of rare earth containing ores is often approached via froth floatation; however, for successful flotation, ligands must be designed that can both bind to the mineral interface while being amphiphilic enough to drag the minerals to an air-aqueous interface.

Ceramic matrix composites are used in several industries, such as aerospace, for lightweight, high quality and high strength materials. But producing them is time consuming and often low quality.
