Transformations Newsletter Presents Catalysis and Sustainable Energy
The latest issue of Transformations from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory shows the role of catalysts in making wind, solar and other sustainable energy sources a major part of the nation's energy landscape. In this issue, Dan DuBois shares the three principles involved in creating electrocatalysts, which drive the interconversion of electricity to energy stored in chemical bonds. Learn about this research and much more at the American Chemical Society symposium being held in his honor. The event is being organized by Aaron Appel, Monte Helm, and Jenny Yang. Our applied and fundamental scientists talk about the power of theory or computational chemistry to break chemistry bottlenecks and settle basic energy questions. And, don't miss our latest video - discover the world of electrocatalysts in 90 seconds.
