ORNL has developed a revolutionary system for wirelessly transferring power to electric vehicles and energy storage systems, enabling efficient, contactless charging.
This invention describes a new architecture and method of manufacturing for nuclear fuel cladding with optimal heat transfer properties.
High-performance cerium-based permanent magnet materials have been developed to reduce reliance on scarce rare-earth elements.
The addition of Ce to Al-alloys has been in development within the last 10 years to design new alloys for advanced manufacturing. The invention provides alloy compositions which improve casting behavior by reducing or eliminating void formation.
Oil starvation can lead to high friction, excess wear, scuffing and sometimes machine failure. An ultra-low friction coating has been developed to address the friction and wear problems upon lubricant starvation.
The art of producing a carbon-carbon composite is very detailed, and has been researched for nearly 50 years.
Existing wireless power transfer systems require an identically-shaped transmitter and receiver, limiting the inter-operability between charging stations and vehicles. The invention eliminates the requirements and enable charging stations to work with a variety of EVs.
Li-ion batteries used in energy storage and electrical vehicles have safety concerns due to the large amount of stored energy and their potential to go to thermal runaway.
The inventive method to fabricate the composite solid electrolyte film breaks away from the traditional mixing-then-casting method.
The invention herein leverages the unique castability and reactivity of the recently developed Al-Ce alloys to cast heat exchanges such that post-casting welding and brazing is not required due to 1) casting monolithic heat exchangers as well as 2) casting manifolds around pre
