Deep Desulphurization of Hot Coal Gas for Production of Liquid Fuels

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Liyu Li
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
The production of liquid fuel from coal via gasification and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is one of the few feasible strategies for improving the nation's energy security. The energy efficiency of…

Electrochemical Storage of Hydrogen in Modified Carbon Nanotubes

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Liyu Li
Project type
Exploratory Research
Strategy: Boron has one less electron than carbon. When carbon in the CNTs is substituted by boron, the electron density of the CNTs will decrease (this will strongly modifies the properties of the…
