Scientists at PNNL's Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis and Villanova University designed a nickel-based complex that more than doubled previously reported hydrogen gas production rates and increased the energy efficiency of the reaction
To design catalysts for fuel cells and other devices, design their ligands to facilitate the movement of protons, according to Dr. Daniel DuBois and Dr. Morris Bullock at PNNL.
In an invited review article in the MRS Bulletin, scientists from the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis discuss the role and need to control proton movement in potential solar devices.
Scientists at PNNL discuss options for storing solar, wind, and other intermittent power supplies as part of a new video featured on the Public Broadcasting System
PNNL researchers have benchmarked a number of commonly used density functional theory (DFT) and electron-correlated molecular orbital theories in their ability to describe the free energy profile for H2 oxidation/evolution
New results reported in Chemical Communications describe the synthesis, structure, and catalytic reactivity of a nickel complex that is the fastest molecular electrocatalyst for oxidation of hydrogen.
A new book edited by PNNL's Dr. Morris Bullock summarizes the progress and challenges of designing catalysts from less expensive, more abundant metals.
PNNL will be home to a new multi-million-dollar Energy Frontier Research Center announced this week by the White House in conjunction with a speech delivered by President Obama at the annual meeting of the National Academy of Sciences.
Christopher Mundy, Roger Rousseau, Greg Schenter, and Shawn Kathmann at PNNL and Alessandro Curioni at IBM Research-Zurich have been selected as 2009 INCITE award winners
