PNNL and National Renewable Energy Laboratory have partnered on a first-of-its-kind tool that estimates costs of catalysts.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and PNNL partnered to complete—in record time—an environmental impact statement for the nation’s first small modular nuclear reactor, to be sited at Clinch River, Tenn.

PNNL’s Johannes Lercher was one of 148 researchers recognized at the annual conference of the National Academy of Inventors, held April 10-11, 2019 in Houston, Texas. Lercher recently achieved NAI fellow status, a highly selective honor.

Researchers at PNNL and their collaborators have made a significant improvement to a catalyst that is more rugged and can reduce tailpipe pollution at lower temperatures than existing methods.

Kelsey Stoerzinger leverages advances in surface chemistry to develop materials for clean energy and water purification.

Several years ago, a relatively new catalyst for vehicle emission control began showing failure. A team at PNNL found that this seemingly suicidal catalyst wasn’t actually self-destructing but was the victim of an external assailant.

Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis thrust lead for heterogeneous interfaces, Dr. James “Jim” Mayer, was recently honored with the Frontiers Award by the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion.

Scientists at PNNL's Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis (CME) are working to understand the fundamental reactivity of H2 that could contribute to making hydrogen a more widely used fuel source.

Using a bio-inspired design that mimics nature's catalysts-enzymes, researchers at PNNL have designed a rarely seen reversible synthetic catalyst.

Researchers used novel methods to safely create and analyze plutonium samples. The approaches could prove influential in future studies of the radioactive material, benefitting research in legacy, national security and nuclear fuels.

Researchers explore why invisible water films adsorbed to mineral surfaces behave differently than bulk liquids.

A team of researchers reveal new insights about how nitrogenase does its job.

Researchers developed a new hybrid catalyst that achieved chemo-selective and site-selective hydrogenation of aromatic molecules under low pressure of dihydrogen and mild temperature.

PNNL technology flies with Virgin Atlantic.

Three PNNL scientists elected to the Washington State Academy of Sciences.

PNNL receives additional funding for electrocatalyst research to store and release energy.
