In a Nature paper, scientists report that they have determined both the elemental type and chemical state of single iron and terbium atoms using synchrotron X-rays.
In a Science paper, researchers report developing a cobalt-based catalyst to replace the expensive iridium-based catalyst used in electrolyzers for hydrogen and oxygen separation from water.
The Electrochemical Society has honored scientist Shirley Meng with the 2023 Battery Division Research Award for her innovative work on interfacial science, which has led to improved battery technologies.
In a study published in Advanced Functional Materials, researchers demonstrated the assembly of blue-phase single crystals by creating chemically patterned surfaces.
The APS Upgrade project includes the construction of several new beamlines, but every existing beamline will be improved as well. Winarski is the man overseeing all of that work.
Argonne scientists have developed a new electrolyte for lithium metal batteries to power electric vehicles. They would greatly increase vehicle range, cost less than current designs and run more safely, since the electrolyte is nonflammable.
