Bubbling a flue gas mixture through an aqueous solution of a simple bis-iminoguanidine (GBIG) leads to CO2 capture as a crystalline bicarbonate salt.


Researchers utilized a roll-to-roll process to coat electrically conductive carbon fibers with semiconducting silicon carbide nanoparticles—demonstrating a scalable method to make reinforcing fibers for composite applications requiring strong

Peculiar outer-sphere water coordination of trivalent lanthanide complexes is shown in experiment and computation to correlate with the lanthanide selectivity of a diglycolamide ligand in the biphasic separation system

New iCOF material selectively sequesters Cr(VI) oxoanions in the presence of other anions, such as sulfate and nitrate.

The clusters are assembled through steric and electrostatic forces, with the chloride anions (green spheres) residing in equidistant ‘clefts’ between coordinating diglycolamide ligands in positions that satisfy both repulsive and attractive ion-ion

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., May 2, 2018—The search for a more energy efficient and environmentally friendly method of ammonia production for fertilizer has led to the discovery of a new type of catalytic reaction.

A shield assembly that protects an instrument measuring ion and electron fluxes for a NASA mission to touch the Sun was tested in extreme experimental environments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory—and passed with flying colors.

Direct air capture of CO2 via aqueous-phase absorption and crystalline-phase release
