This research addresses two topics that are not well understood in literature: the interplay between organic linkers and substrates during MOF crystallization, as well as the mechanisms that control heterostructure formation in solutions.
A 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan that knocked out a nuclear power plant helped inspire PNNL computational scientists looking for clues of future nuclear reactor mishaps by tracking radioactive iodine.
PNNL atomic-scale research shows how certain metal oxide catalysts behave during alkanol dehydration, an important class of oxygen-removal reactions for biomass conversion.
Biomedical scientist Brian Thrall co-edited the issue published in the journal NanoImpact. Three of the articles in the issue include multiple PNNL authors.
PNNL scientists have created an improved metal-organic framework (MOF) for adsorption cooling, that performs at least 40 percent better than its predecessors.
A multi-institution research team found how the protein environment surrounding some enzymes can alter the direction of a cellular reaction, as well as its rate—up to six orders of magnitude—in a phenomenon referred to as catalytic bias.
PNNL and Oklahoma State University join forces to understand the chemistry of sodium-ion and potassium-ion batteries thanks to an award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).
Corresponding PNNL authors assembled a team of experts to show that supercritical carbon dioxide is a promising media for the construction of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
As author of her first publication, PNNL bioinformaticist Isabelle O’Bryon developed the first forensic proteomics method to more quickly detect ricin, a toxin often crudely made in home laboratories that can kill in trace amounts.
New technique galvanizes iron-based nanoparticles to create an exceptional catalyst. PNNL researchers describe a new technique that produces metal nanoparticles supported on solid iron oxide, in one step, at near room temperature.
For the past several years Sam Chatterjee, PNNL data scientist and lead editor, has worked hard to make a book about homeland security risk analysis a reality. And in June, his perseverance paid off.
A chemistry paper on the used nuclear fuel recycling process, led by PNNL lab fellow Gregg Lumetta, ranked 18th in Scientific Reports for downloads in 2019
PNNL’s Karthikeyan Ramasamy was elected to a three-year term as a director in the American Institute of Chemical Engineers’ Fuels and Petrochemicals Division.
Jonathan Male originally joined PNNL in 2006 as a scientist focused on catalysis. After more than seven years leading DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office, he's back at PNNL as a chief scientist in the Energy Processes & Materials Division.
Two PNNL team members, Courtney Corley, a data scientist, and Kyle Bingman, an advisor on assured artificial intelligence (AI), were featured on a recent episode of the U.S. Department of Energy Direct Currents podcast.
