The Low-cost Earth-abundant Na-ion Storage consortium is a major effort to create superior, no-compromise batteries that replace lithium with inexpensive, domestically abundant sodium and use few—if any—critical materials.
Properly identifying iodoplumbate species that are present and stable in a perovskite precursor solution is vital. New research offers insight into reactivity and dynamical processes in solution and the chemical properties of precursors.
Scientists are reviewing the current science of the mechanism and structural dynamics of methyl coenzyme-M reductase, an enzyme involved in biological methane conversion.
Chemist Wendy Shaw, a nationally recognized scientific leader, has been chosen to serve as the associate laboratory director for PNNL's Physical and Computational Sciences Directorate.
