Polarization drift in quantum networks is a major issue. Fiber transforms a transmitted signal’s polarization differently depending on its environment.
Mineral looping is a promising method for direct air capture of CO2. However, reduction of sorbent reactivity after each loop is likely to be significant problems for mineral looping by MgO.
With the ever-increasing problem of plastic waste, several avenues to decrease plastic use and manage waste introduced by disposable plastic products have arisen.
This invention utilizes a salt and an amine containing small molecule or polymer for the synthesis of a bulky anionic salt or containing single-ion conducting polymer electrolyte for the use in Li-ion and beyond Li-ion batteries.
Carbon capture from air typically requires large amounts of solvent and sorbent that are energetically costly to regenerate. It also suffers from degradation, is environmentally unsustainable, and very expensive.
The incorporation of low embodied carbon building materials in the enclosure is increasing the fuel load for fire, increasing the demand for fire/flame retardants.
This technology identifies enzymatic routes to synthesize amide oligomers with defined sequence to improve polymerization of existing materials or enable polymerization of new materials. Polymers are generally composed of one (e.g. Nylon 6) or two (e.g.
ORNL contributes to developing the concept of passive CO2 DAC by designing and testing a hybrid sorption system. This design aims to leverage the advantages of CO2 solubility and selectivity offered by materials with selective sorption of adsorbents.
Electrochemistry synthesis and characterization testing typically occurs manually at a research facility.
Carbon fiber is used in a wide range of manufacturing that utilize composite materials, from aerospace to golf clubs, as it has high strength and is lightweight. The process for manufacturing carbon fiber is complex and requires several stages.
