In a SLAC-led study, four laboratories collaborated to ensure reproducibility in AI training data to predict new catalysts for future fuel production.

Explore how SLAC advances energy research, partnering with Stanford University, the U.S. Department of Energy and industry, to help create a more reliable, affordable and sustainable energy future.

Researchers reveal why trace amounts of alloy added to some catalysts keep them performing better over time. The study suggests models that could boost manufacturing.

SLAC researchers drew on advanced computation and X-ray methods to track down a water-splitting copper catalyst.

He met with SLAC staff and toured the lab’s cutting-edge facilities, diving into world-leading research in X-ray and ultrafast science, artificial intelligence, astrophysics and more.

Advanced imaging technique reveals catalyst degradation processes, addressing a key barrier to converting carbon dioxide into liquid fuel.

Following a boom in catalysis users at SSRL, Beam Line 10-2 has been transformed and outfitted with new technologies. 

Nickel dopants could improve sustainable production of ethylene oxide, a chemical widely used in industrial manufacturing.

SSRL scientists have figured out how platinum electrodes dissolve, potentially paving the way for renewable energy improvements.

The team reduced the amount of expensive platinum group metals needed to make an effective cell and found a new way to test future fuel cell innovations.

Researchers demonstrate a way to remove the potent greenhouse gas from the exhaust of engines that burn natural gas.
