Fifteen female materials scientists and engineers have collaborated on a perspective of electrochemistry in battery design.

A multi-institution team of researchers has developed a palladium-based catalyst that could clean emissions from natural gas engines.

PNNL’s Jie Xiao and Yuyan Shao are serving two-year terms on the executive committee of the Pacific Northwest section of The Electrochemical Society, which was chartered in October 2020.

The Battery500 Consortium, led by PNNL, has been awarded $75 million for advancing battery technologies over the next five years.

PNNL is rock solid on carbon storage, building on successful demonstration in eastern Washington.

Developed at PNNL, Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion, or ShAPE™, uses significantly less energy and can deliver components like wire, tubes and bars 10 times faster than conventional extrusion, with no sacrifice in quality.

An energy-efficient method to extrude metal components wins Association of Washington Business Green Manufacturing Award. PNNL’s Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion™ technology consumes less energy and enhances material properties.

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

Rotational Hammer Riveting, developed by PNNL, joins dissimilar materials quickly without preheating rivets. The friction-based riveting enables use of lightweight magnesium rivets and also works on aluminum and speeds manufacturing.

A discovery from PNNL and Washington State University could help reduce the amount of expensive material needed to treat vehicle exhaust by making the most of every precious atom.

A new report led by PNNL identifies the top 13 most promising waste- and biomass-derived diesel blendstocks for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, other pollutants, and overall system costs.

Researchers developed two solutions for air-conditioning—a novel, energy-efficient dehumidification system and a technology to detect refrigerant leaks. Both help increase energy-efficiency and reduce costs.

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

A collaboration among PNNL, Washington State University, and Tsinghua University has led to the discovery of a mechanism behind the decline in performance of an advanced copper-based catalyst.

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

Methane emissions from coal mines are likely higher than previously calculated, largely due to emissions from abandoned mines.

Through two U.S. Department of Energy funding calls awarded in 2020, PNNL is partnering with industry and academia to advance battery materials and processes.

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.

PNNL scientists have developed a catalyst that converts ethanol into C5+ ketones that can serve as the building blocks for everything from solvents to jet fuel.
