This work presents a novel method for upcycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste into sustainable vitrimer materials. By combining bio-based crosslinkers with our PET-based macromonomer, we developed dynamically bonded plastics that are renewably sourced.
Ruthenium is recovered from used nuclear fuel in an oxidizing environment by depositing the volatile RuO4 species onto a polymeric substrate.
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.
CO2 capture by mineral looping, either using calcium or magnesium precursors requires that the materials be calcined after CO2 is captured from the atmosphere. This separates the CO2 for later sequestration and returned the starting material to its original state.
This invention introduces a novel sintering approach to produce hard carbon with a finely tuned microstructure, derived from biomass and plastic waste.
This invention describes a new class of amphiphilic chelators (extractants) that can selectively separate large, light rare earth elements from heavy, small rare earth elements in solvent extraction schemes.
The invention presented here addresses key challenges associated with counterfeit refrigerants by ensuring safety, maintaining system performance, supporting environmental compliance, and mitigating health and legal risks.
A pressure burst feature has been designed and demonstrated for relieving potentially hazardous excess pressure within irradiation capsules used in the ORNL High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR).
