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.  

The SLAC-Stanford team pulled hydrogen directly from ocean waters. Their work could help efforts to generate low-carbon fuel for electric grids, cars, boats and other infrastructure.

Two GEM Fellows reflect on their summer internships at SLAC and share their thoughts on representation and mentorship.

Encapsulating precious-metal catalysts in a web-like alumina framework could reduce the amount needed in catalytic converters – and our dependency on these scarce metals.

Anchoring individual iridium atoms on the surface of a catalytic particle boosted its performance in carrying out a reaction that’s been a bottleneck for sustainable energy production.

Their work aims to bridge two approaches to driving the reaction – one powered by heat, the other by electricity – with the goal of discovering more efficient and sustainable ways to convert carbon dioxide into useful products.
