V-Cr-Ti alloys have been proposed as candidate structural materials in fusion reactor blanket concepts with operation temperatures greater than that for reduced activation ferritic martensitic steels (RAFMs).
An electrochemical cell has been specifically designed to maximize CO2 release from the seawater while also not changing the pH of the seawater before returning to the sea.
The ORNL invention addresses the challenge of poor mechanical properties of dry processed electrodes, improves their electrical properties, while improving their electrochemical performance.
Hydrogen is in great demand, but production relies heavily on hydrocarbons utilization. This process contributes greenhouse gases release into the atmosphere.
Fusion reactors need efficient systems to create tritium fuel and handle intense heat and radiation. Traditional liquid metal systems face challenges like high pressure losses and material breakdown in strong magnetic fields.
The traditional window installation process involves many steps. These are becoming even more complex with newer construction requirements such as installation of windows over exterior continuous insulation walls.
New demands in electric vehicles have resulted in design changes for the power electronic components such as the capacitor to incur lower volume, higher operating temperatures, and dielectric properties (high dielectric permittivity and high electrical breakdown strengths).
The first wall and blanket of a fusion energy reactor must maintain structural integrity and performance over long operational periods under neutron irradiation and minimize long-lived radioactive waste.
ORNL has developed a new hybrid membrane to improve electrochemical stability in next-generation sodium metal anodes.
