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.

Dr. Roger J. Rousseau has been elected to the User Advisory Committee at the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory.

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.

Dr. Daniel DuBois was chosen as a PNNL Fellow, the highest rank our science and engineering staff can attain.

The Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis participated in the Salmon Summit in May 2010, with the activity "Green Power!" and "Water Chemistry."

Congratulations to Dr. Wendy Shaw of PNNL on winning a prestigious Department of Energy Early Career Research Program grant.

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.

Congratulations to PNNL's Dr. Michel Dupuis on being named a Fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

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
