A decade after working as a post-bachelor’s researcher at PNNL, chemist Quin Miller is helping develop the workforce for the critical minerals-focused mines of the future.
David Heldebrant was selected for the 2025 Distinguished Service Award from the American Chemical Society Division of Energy & Fuels, recognizing his impact to energy and fuels chemistry.
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.
CO2 separation is key for natural gas purification, but conventional techniques are high-emission processes. New research reveals a novel, doubly segmented, CO2-selective membrane that increases CO2 permeability and reduces emissions.
In the search for rare physics events, extremely pure materials are essential. A partnership between PNNL and Ultramet has led to tungsten with low contamination from other elements.
Led by interns from multiple DOE programs, a newly expanded dataset allows researchers to use easy-to-obtain measurements to determine the elemental composition of a promising carbon storage mineral.
A multi-institutional team of researchers systematically compared extraction techniques for characterizing plant litter composition that relies on organic matter extraction.
