Understanding Corrosion to Enable Next-Generation Metals
Researchers at PNNL have developed a new technique to get a high-resolution look at how—and why—corrosion happens.
Cation Effects on Radicals from Nitrite
IDREAM research shows the size of cations in highly concentrated nitrite solutions affects the production of radicals.
Predicting Nanoparticle Assembly Across Scales
Resolving how nanoparticles come together is important for industry and environmental remediation. New work predicts nanoparticle aggregation behavior across a wide range of scales for the first time.
Directly Measuring X-Ray Enhanced Dissolution of Gibbsite
Irradiation in a sodium hydroxide solution increases the dissolution rate and particle roughness of gibbsite compared to dry irradiation.
Surface Defects and pH Alter Gibbsite Dissolution Mechanisms
Differences in water interactions lead to two gibbsite dissolution pathways modulated by solution acidity.
FAIR-ness Reigns at PNNL
Six PNNL projects were selected as part of the Department of Energy’s Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research.
