PNNL chemical engineer Mariefel Olarte shares passion for mentoring students and the next-generation workforce.

Tuning the environment of supported palladium atoms with hydrogen treatment enhances their catalytic activity.

A switchable single-atom catalyst is activated in the presence of surface intermediates and reverts to its stable inactive form when the reaction is completed.

Increasing the concentration of ions in zeolite micropores leads to a significant increase in the rate of acid catalyzed reactions.

Electronic modifications from hydrogen spillover onto the oxide support increase the activity of single-atom rhodium catalysts.

With the launch of a large research barge, PNNL and collaborators took another significant step to improve offshore wind forecasting that will lower risk and cost associated with offshore wind energy development.

ChemReasoner combines decades of chemistry knowledge with large language models to propose strategies for effective new catalysts.

Catalysts that efficiently transfer hydrogen for storage in organic hydrogen carriers are key for more sustainable generation and use of hydrogen. New research identifies activity descriptors that can accelerate novel catalyst development.

The nation is closer to its offshore wind energy goals than ever before, but better wind forecasting is still needed. To address this challenge, PNNL and collaborators are charting a new course with help from novel technology.

PNNL is one of the founding partners of the Trillion Parameter Consortium, which was formed to create reliable generative AI models.

1-propanol converts from a monomer into a trimer at aluminum sites within zeolite pores.

Pasco School District teachers join PNNL for an immersive teaching experience.

Scientists at PNNL were awarded nearly $12 million to better understand pathogens, how they spread, and how to prepare the nation against future outbreaks.

Studying single crystal reactions provides molecular-level insight into catalytic processes.

Highly precise and controllable single-atom catalysts are affected by reaction conditions, which can alter the bonding around the atoms and the activity.

Computational chemistry libraries from NWChem, NWChemEX, SPEC, and more are now available on Azure Quantum Elements.
