Principal Investigator

Andrew Felmy

Project type

Exploratory Research

We propose a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation of the role of interfacial water and CO2 on the energies, mechanisms, and rates of reactivity of a series of orthosilicate and…

In Situ and Ex Situ NMR Investigation of the Electrochemistry in Lithium Batteries

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Jian-zhi Hu

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Li-metal is an ideal anode material for rechargeable batteries. However, dendritic Li growth and limited Coulombic efficiency (CE) during repeated Li deposition/stripping processes have prevented the…

The Transformation of Tetrahedral to Octahedral Coordination in Anions of Interest in High-Level Tank Waste

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Jian-zhi Hu

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

We propose to use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Raman and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy in combination with computational modeling to study the conversion of soluble tetrahedral…

Unraveling chemical speciation and interfacial dynamics in complex, heterogeneous
environments to efficiently process high-level radioactive wastes

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

We propose to use NMR in combination with computational modeling, to study the conversion of soluble tetrahedral aluminum (Al) species to octahedrally coordinated Al-bearing mineral precipitates…

NMR for Catalyst Studies

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Charles Peden

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

A detailed understanding of the mechanisms involved in a catalytic reaction requires that we identify the nature of the active sites and of reaction intermediates, and that we probe dynamic processes…
