This proposal aims to develop a new, compact reactor for production of ammonia from air and water with renewable electricity. The conversion is carried out in a solid-state alkaline electrochemical cell at temperatures below 200oC and pressures below 10bar. Water vapor and N2 gas are fed into cathode side of the cell to form ammonia and hydroxide ions. As ammonia is produced from the cathode, the ...

Amethyst Research, in collaboration with InView, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is developing an infrared imaging system to detect and quantify greenhouse gas emissions, to better understand their life cycle and role in global earth system dynamics.

This project will complete 6 years of work by Coulometrics to develop a new environmentally friendly and lower cost process to produce high-quality LIB anode material that exhibits: • lower cost; • improved purification through an environmentally friendly process, and; • a high quality and consistent material suitable for demanding EV applications.Virtually all graphite for lithium ion batte ...

A primary goal of the Department of Energy (DOE) Isotope Program is to support research and development of methods and technologies that assure availability of critical radioisotopes. High-purity therapeutic isotope products are essential for high-yield protein radiolabeling for radiopharmaceutical use.This project will develop a system to automate the production of alpha-emitting therapeutic radi ...

The ability to robustly generate increased pulsed power levels at low cost is a challenge for the fusion energy community.Many applications supported by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Fusion Energy Science (FES) program would benefit from a commercially available low-cost, robust, high current/voltage pulsed solid-state power supplies.The Pegasus Toroidal Experiment at the University of Wiscon ...

Catalysts are crucial in accelerating many important industrial reactions that would otherwise be extremely slow or inefficient. This proposal focuses on the development of a tool that will allow high resolution electron microscopy images of photocatalytic processes to be captured. The results will allow scientists to design more efficient catalytic materials.

Continuous miniaturization of devices surrounding people demands for improvements in materials design and manufacturing, which in turn requires high resolution compositional and chemical analysis. This proposal focuses on the development of a tool for material property and structure characterization studies in the environment those materials operate using X-ray microscopy.

New pixelated high-resolution radiation detection systems will combine modular designs with advanced Nuclear-Physics array concepts to provide a greater understanding of fundamental Nuclear Structure while creating new imaging technology for applied fields such as Nuclear Security and Nuclear Medicine.

This project will develop state-of-the-art processes for the conversion of natural flake graphite and other graphitic materials into high quality lithium-ion battery (LIB) grade anode materials. This will enable a $1B industry to develop and create a supply chain for graphite that does not exist in the United States today. This project will complete 4 years of work by Coulometrics to develop new e ...

Since drilling the earliest gas and oil wells, migration of hydrocarbons to the surface has challenged the oil and gas industry. With the recent onset of geologic CO2 sequestration activities, it has become even more important to develop well leakage mitigation strategies that can seal even microscopic apertures around injection, abandoned, and monitoring wells—especially in cases where traditio ...
