Energy storage startup SPARKZ Inc. has exclusively licensed five battery technologies from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř designed to eliminate cobalt metal in lithium-ion batteries.
The formation of lithium dendrites is still a mystery, but materials engineers study the conditions that enable dendrites and how to stop them.
In the quest for domestic sources of lithium to meet growing demand for battery production, scientists at ORNL are advancing a sorbent that can be used to more efficiently recover the material from brine wastes at geothermal power plants.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have received five 2019 R&D 100 Awards, increasing the lab’s total to 221 since the award’s inception in 1963.
Researchers at 91°µÍř will present eight innovative technologies currently available for commercialization during a public event at ORNL on October 17.
Rare earth elements are the “secret sauce” of numerous advanced materials for energy, transportation, defense and communications applications.
Collaborators at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř and U.S.
Bruce Moyer, leader of the Chemical Separations group in the Chemical Sciences Division at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř, has won the 2019 Glenn T. Seaborg Award from the Actinide Separations Board.
91°µÍř has teamed with Cornell College and the University of Tennessee to study ways to repurpose waste soft drinks for carbon capture that could help cut carbon dioxide emissions.
