A novel strategy was developed to solve the limitations of the current sorbent systems in CO2 chemisorption in terms of energy consumption in CO2 release and improved CO2 uptake capacity.
This invention introduces a novel sintering approach to produce hard carbon with a finely tuned microstructure, derived from biomass and plastic waste.
Wind turbine blades face a harsh environment in which erosion of the leading edge is a major factor for in-use maintenance. Current industrial practices to address this leading edge erosion are replacement of reinforcing materials upon significant damage infliction.
Through utilizing a two function splice we can increase the splice strength for opposing tows.

We proposed and developed a carbon nanofiber (CNF) suspension-based sizing agent, that resulted in improved interfacial, and mechanical properties. The CNF dispersed sizing agent can be applied in a relatively simpler way (by passing the continuous tow through it).
ORNL has developed a large area thermal neutron detector based on 6LiF/ZnS(Ag) scintillator coupled with wavelength shifting fibers. The detector uses resistive charge divider-based position encoding.

The increasing demand for high-purity lanthanides, essential for advanced technologies such as electronics, renewable energy, and medical applications, presents a significant challenge due to their similar chemical properties.
With the ever-growing reliance on batteries, the need for the chemicals and materials to produce these batteries is also growing accordingly. One area of critical concern is the need for high quality graphite to ensure adequate energy storage capacity and battery stability.
The use of biomass fiber reinforcement for polymer composite applications, like those in buildings or automotive, has expanded rapidly due to the low cost, high stiffness, and inherent renewability of these materials. Biomass are commonly disposed of as waste.
