American Chemical Society National Meeting Honors Two PNNL Scientists
PNNL materials scientist Ram Devanathan named Fellow and chemist Dave Heldebrant keynotes at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2020 meeting.
Extreme Chemistry of Nuclear Wastes
The PNNL-led IDREAM Energy Frontier Research Center is exploring complex chemical phenomena to enable innovations in radioactive waste processing.
Joint Center for Energy Storage Research
PNNL is one of five national laboratory JCESR -- a bold effort to transform the way we store energy to power vehicles and the electric grid.
What A Crystal Reveals About Nuclear Materials Processing
PNNL researchers devised a new method to probe the atomic structure of plutonium-containing microcrystals using laboratory-based equipment.
Improving nuclear waste storage models by studying the chemistry of material interactions
Scientists Learn More about the First Hours of a Lithium-ion Battery’s Life
Scientists have witnessed the formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase, a critical component in lithium-ion batteries.
Shining a Light Source on Batteries
A research effort under the PNNL-led Battery500 Consortium solved a longtime debate surrounding a structure in lithium-metal battery anodes.
Returning to the Scene of the Science
Jonathan Male originally joined PNNL in 2006 as a scientist focused on catalysis. After more than seven years leading DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office, he's back at PNNL as a chief scientist in the Energy Processes & Materials Division.
Jian Liu Selected as Nanoporous Materials Book Editor
Jian Liu, a chemical engineer at PNNL, was selected as co-editor for the Elsevier book, Nanoporous Materials for Molecule Separation and Conversion.
Building a Better Battery—Faster
Researchers at PNNL have developed a software tool that helps universities, small business, and corporate developers to design better batteries with new materials that hold more energy.
