COVID-19 changed when and where we use electricity. Researchers showed that commonly available total demand data masked the actual changes.

Recognizing how innovation and clean technologies at the very edge of the grid can work together to transition the electricity system, PNNL takes a multidisciplinary approach to advancing and integrating renewable energy solutions.

Technology designed to bolster the electric grid and store large amounts of energy from renewable sources is available for licensing.

Steven Spurgeon, a materials scientist and microscopy researcher at PNNL, has been invited to join the editorial team at Microscopy and Microanalysis.

PNNL catalysis expert Yong Wang has assumed an associate editor role for the Chemical Engineering Journal.

Three staff selected for leadership program that brings together representatives from all 17 Department of Energy national laboratories to build the national lab leaders of tomorrow.

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.

Carbon-neutral waste-to-fuel flow cell process generates its own energy.

A new PNNL study quantifies hydropower's contribution to grid stability. When other power sources go out, hydropower can ramp up, recoup shortfalls, and stabilize the grid nearly instantaneously.

Reimagining the United States power grid could save consumers $50 billion a year.

Two PNNL studies that describe the potential value of offshore wind off the Oregon Coast and distributed wind in Alaska were published in the journal Energies.

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.

In adjoining Energy Sciences Center laboratories, researchers develop better energy storage devices by understanding the fundamental reactions that form interfaces.

From water purification, to better batteries and tools to foil a cyberattack—a look back at how PNNL helped to invent a brighter and better future over the last year.

PNNL scientists partnered with colleagues at the University of Akron to create a new molecule that could substantially improve the electrochemical stability of redox flow batteries.

PNNL engages in expert panels to address emerging policy issues surrounding deep space exploration; forms new partnership with University of Washington Space Policy and Research Center.

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

The Energy Storage for Social Equity Initiative will help up to 15 disadvantaged communities consider energy storage technologies to meet local energy goals.

With an eye on renewable, accessible, and resilient power, PNNL researchers show hyper-local microgrids are a viable option, if designed with the right mix of sources.
