Current battery materials such as silicon suffer from poor ion and electron transport due to non-optimal wiring. This invention facilitates particle interconnectedness to facilitate ion motion and electron transport overcoming poor assembly.
This invention describes a new combustion synthesis route to produce high purity, high performance DRX cathodes for next-generation Li-ion batteries.
Separation of rare earth containing ores is often approached via froth floatation; however, for successful flotation, ligands must be designed that can both bind to the mineral interface while being amphiphilic enough to drag the minerals to an air-aqueous interface.
Adhesives for metal parts typically are liquid-based which require complex processing. This technology is a hot melt adhesive that is mixed and applied in a solid form and after the heating and cooling cycle creates strong bonds with the substrates in a matter of seconds.
The co-processing of cathode and composite electrolyte for solid state polymer batteries has been developed. A traditional uncalendared cathode of e.g.
The invention addresses the long-standing challenge of inorganic phase change materials use in buildings envelope and other applications by encapsulating them in a secondary sheath.
ORNL has developed bacterial strains that can utilize a common plastic co-monomer as a feedstock. This will help enable modern, petroleum-derived plastics to be converted into value-added chemicals.
Due to a genes unique nucleotide sequences acquired through horizontal gene transfer, the gene has a transcriptional repressor activity and innate enzymatic role.
We have developed bacterial strains that can convert sustainable feedstocks and waste feedstocks into chemical precursors for next generation plastics.
Nearly all electrochemical approaches to CO2 conversion rely on traditional fuel cell type electrocatalysis where CO2 is bubbled through acidic or basic media. The resulting electrochemistry leads to excessive generation of H2 over micromoles of CO2 conversion.
