Failure Mechanisms in Lithium Ion Batteries: Opportunities for Materials Development
This presentation will focus on the primary failure mechanisms for lithium ion batteries, how those mechanisms are affected by material selection, and vehicle applications for batteries and their future development.
International Year of Chemistry
Learn about the International Year of Chemistry (IYC 2011), a worldwide celebration of chemistry and its contributions to the well-being of humankind.
Carbon Nanotubes and Other Nanostructured Materials
The discovery of fullerenes in 1985 sparked the interest of researchers in novel crystalline forms of carbon.
The Extended History of PRICAT(TM) 468 for C4 Acetylene Hydrogenation
Step three of the 'Eight Steps to Specify a Catalyst Bed' is selecting the catalyst. The process of developing and selecting catalysts is often shrouded in mystery. Examining the history of a product development can demystify the process.
Using Catalytic Nanoparticles to Clean Water
In this talk, I will describe our work in improving the feasibility of these NP catalysts for groundwater remediation and in understanding how the gold enhances the Pd catalytic activity so dramatically.
The Ubiquitous Hydrocyclone Separator: Theory and Practice
The hydrocyclone separator, which was invented in 1891 (see E. Bretney, “Water Purifier”, U.S. Patent 453,105) is widely used in process engineering as a classifier, a clarifier, or a thickener.
Nanotechnology: What is it? What are the opportunities?
Nanotechnology deals with the creation of materials, devices and systems through the manipulation of nanoscale matter, and takes advantage of novel and interesting properties that may arise.
