This technology aims to provide and integrated and oxidation resistant cladding or coating onto carbon-based composites in seconds.

Pairing hybrid neural network modeling techniques with artificial intelligence, or AI, controls has resulted in a unique hybrid system that creates a smart solution for traffic-signal timing.

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.

Nearly all electrochemical approaches to CO2 conversion rely on traditional fuel cell type electrocatalysis where CO2 is bubbled through acidic or basic media. The resulting electrochemistry leads to excessive generation of H2 over micromoles of CO2 conversion.

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.

This invention provides a method for differentiating if the cell is failing due to chemical/mechanical factors or due to Li dendrite formation by combing high throughput electronic measurement recording with fast data analysis to monitor the change of battery performance at th

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.

The capture and conversion of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into non-volatile value-added solid carbon products is an urgent need to address the deleterious effects of the rising level of atmospheric CO2.

ORNL’s mixed plastic recycling technology can simultaneously break down any condensation polymers—PET, polycarbonate, polyurethanes, and polyamides—into monomers in a low-energy green process.
