Visualizing a battery's lithium "whiskers" and their degrading effects
A recent study pinpointed the reaction front where lithium (Li) dendrites can come into contact with cathode materials. It also detailed the Li propagation pathway and reaction steps that lead to cathode failure.
Understanding Principles Controlling Mineral Dissolution Far from Equilibrium
IDREAM researchers computed the first detailed free-energy landscape for the multistep dissolution of gibbsite
Modern Day Alchemy: Building the Future Atom by Atom
PNNL's Community Science and Technology Seminar Series helps the general public better understand and explore how science transforms our world.
Sensors and Batteries: Never Small Enough?
The world is becoming reliant on increasingly smaller sensors that improve daily life in many ways. A PNNL-led paper takes a closer look at these technologies and their future development for environmental and sensitive species monitoring.
Uncovering How Interfacial Water Structure Can Stabilize Nanoparticle Dispersion
Researchers investigated how stable nanoparticle suspensions form using facet engineering on hematite nanoparticles, demonstrating that controlling the faceting of nanoparticles can effectively maintain particle dispersity.
Spurgeon Named Lead Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Editor
Steven Spurgeon, materials scientist supporting the National Security Directorate at PNNL, was recently named lead machine learning editor for the journal Microscopy and Microanalysis.
