Building a Predictive Understanding of Particle-Based Mineral Growth

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

James De Yoreo

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Traditional models of mineral formation through monomer-by-monomer addition have been challenged by recent evidence for crystallization through the addition of "particles," ranging from…

Directed Mesoscale Synthesis of Tunnel Structured Materials for Energy Applications

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Eugene Ilton

Many materials for energy applications function by reversibly absorbing and releasing charge carriers. Conventional synthesis of these materials typically results in complex aggregates of nano-scale…

Heteroepitaxial nucleation and growth of complex coatings at mineral/water interfaces

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Sebastien Kerisit

All realistic mineral surfaces in natural waters can be expected to be coated, and their reactive properties influenced by the presence of coatings. Heteroepitaxial growth is the templated growth of…
