Currently there is no capability to test materials, sensors, and nuclear fuels at extremely high temperatures and under radiation conditions for nuclear thermal rocket propulsion or advanced reactors.
Recent advances in magnetic fusion (tokamak) technology have attracted billions of dollars of investments in startups from venture capitals and corporations to develop devices demonstrating net energy gain in a self-heated burning plasma, such as SPARC (under construction) and
In order to avoid the limitations and costs due to the use of monolithic components for chemical vapor deposition, we developed a modular system in which the reaction chamber can be composed of a top and bottom cone, nozzle, and in-situ reaction chambers.
ORNL will develop an advanced high-performing RTG using a novel radioisotope heat source.
ORNL has developed a new hybrid membrane to improve electrochemical stability in next-generation sodium metal anodes.
ORNL has developed a new hydrothermal synthesis route to generate high quality battery cathode precursors. The new route offers excellent compositional control, homogenous spherical morphologies, and an ammonia-free co-precipitation process.
Sodium-ion batteries are a promising candidate to replace lithium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage system because of their cost and safety benefits.
