After 20 years of contributions to the field of hydrogen safety, the Hydrogen Safety Panel launched its new mentoring program at PNNL earlier this year. Now, the program has selected its first two mentees.
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.
PNNL and collaborators developed new models—recently approved by the U.S. Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC)—to help utilities understand how new grid-forming inverter technology will enhance grid stability.
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 SHASTA program is doing a deep dive on subsurface hydrogen storage in underground caverns, helping to lay the foundation for a robust hydrogen economy.
Identifying how curvature affects the doping and hydrogen binding energies of carbon-based materials provides a framework for designing hydrogen storage materials.
PNNL led one of five Pathway Summer School programs nationwide, with a specific focus on engaging students from Native American or Indigenous backgrounds.
Highly precise and controllable single-atom catalysts are affected by reaction conditions, which can alter the bonding around the atoms and the activity.
Patented microchannel heat-exchange technology enables the production of hydrogen from methane, the main ingredient of natural gas, while producing 30 percent less carbon dioxide than conventional processes.
