Jie Xiao, a world leader in electrochemical energy storage, has received the E.O. Lawrence Award from the Department of Energy.

New facility will accelerate energy storage innovation, increase clean energy adoption and grid resilience.

A paper published last year by scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory was featured in the 2021 Editor’s Choice collection for the Cell Reports Physical Science journal.

Arun Devaraj elected vice president of an international society representing the atom probe tomography researcher community.

Fundamental research conducted at the $90-million research facility will help the nation meet its clean energy goals.

One effort toward better batteries for electric vehicles is hitting overdrive, thanks to new findings about the desirable silicon anode.

Researchers have increased the lifetime of a promising electric vehicle battery to a record level.

New facility will accelerate energy storage innovation, increase clean energy adoption and grid resilience.

As he prepares to enter PNNL's Energy Sciences Center later this year, Vijayakumar 'Vijay' Murugesan is among DOE leaders exploring solutions to design and build transformative materials for batteries of the future.

A research effort under the PNNL-led Battery500 Consortium solved a longtime debate surrounding a structure in lithium-metal battery anodes.

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Jie Xiao was honored December 10th with the 2020 Rising Star Award by Materials Today.

Scientists have created a single-crystal, nickel-rich cathode that is hardier and more efficient than before—important progress on the road to better lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.

As COVID-19 was limiting in-person contact, halting travel, and creating additional barriers, researchers at PNNL were working to find solutions on how they could still get work done while establishing new safety protocols.

Energy storage expert Ji-Guang (Jason) Zhang has been named PNNL’s 2019 Inventor of the Year.

Researchers at PNNL have come up with a novel way to use silicon as an energy storage ingredient, replacing the graphite in electrodes. Silicon can hold 10 times the electrical charge per gram, but it comes with problems of its own.

Scientists have witnessed the formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase, a critical component in lithium-ion batteries.

Three Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers have received Young Investigator Awards, providing funding for innovative battery research.

PNNL’s Jie Xiao was recently recognized for her outstanding contribution to basic and applied research on lithium-ion batteries and beyond by the International Automotive Lithium Battery Association.

Scientists have uncovered a root cause of the growth of needle-like structures—known as dendrites and whiskers—that plague lithium batteries, sometimes causing a short circuit, failure, or even a fire.

PNNL researchers have created a chemical cocktail that could help electric cars power their way through extreme temperatures where current lithium-ion batteries don’t operate as efficiently as needed.
