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.
Water heaters and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems collectively consume about 58% of home energy use.
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.
This invention disclosure proposes a novel method for signal detection and feature extraction based on the spectral correlation function, enabling improved characterization of grid-signal distortions.
An ORNL invention proposes using 3D printing to make conductors with space-filling thin-wall cross sections. Space-filling thin-wall profiles will maximize the conductor volume while restricting the path for eddy currents induction.
This technology overcomes the limitations of carbon materials like Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) and graphene in carbon dioxide reduction. These materials show significant inactivity in electrochemical carbon dioxide (Na-CO2)reduction applications.
