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.
ORNL will develop an advanced high-performing RTG using a novel radioisotope heat source.
This invention is a molten metal magnetic liquid, also known as a ferrofluid. Utilizing a metal as the base fluid enables the ferrofluid to maintain magnetic properties up to a temperature of 1000 degrees Celsius.
Knowing the state of charge of lithium-ion batteries, used to power applications from electric vehicles to medical diagnostic equipment, is critical for long-term battery operation.
The use of Fluidized Bed Chemical Vapor Deposition to coat particles or fibers is inherently slow and capital intensive, as it requires constant modifications to the equipment to account for changes in the characteristics of the substrates to be coated.
Real-time tracking and monitoring of radioactive/nuclear materials during transportation is a critical need to ensure safety and security. Current technologies rely on simple tagging, using sensors attached to transport containers, but they have limitations.
Anisotropic bonded critical rare earth free permanent magnets in a polymer matrix fabricated using an additive manufacturing process.
The invention is a material that will selectively absorb lithium from process waters, and then in a subsequent step, allow the lithium to be released and concentrated; allowing efficient lithium extraction from fluids for use as commodity chemicals.
