Flash activation of conductive oxide materials for low-temperature oxygen evolving anodes Mines PI: Megan Holtz (Metallurgical and Materials Engineering) NREL PI: Elliot Padgett (Chemistry) Virtual via Zoom We propose to understand conductivity mechanisms, electrochemical stability, and processibility of flashed titania for Proton exchange membrane electrolysis (PEME) catalyst supports and microporous layer (MPLs). This project would […]
While decarbonization efforts aim to advance global environmental goals, new technological systems may exacerbate or create social inequities and local environmental risks. Typical R&D practices often fail to address complex interplays between society, environment, and technology, including the role of public participation in the R&D process. Initiatives such as Justice40 and requirements to report community […]
The need for hydrolysis technology to operate on versatile aqueous water sources is becoming an ever-pressing societal demand given the need for localized production of clean burning fuels coupled with a lack of pure water in many areas across the globe.While seawater is an obvious candidate of choice as an inherently available feedstock for electrolysis, […]
Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) are growing closer to wide-scale deployment, which brings a growing and timely need to develop a data-driven methodology for identifying priority locations for EGS deployment. Currently, a lack of research exists concerning the exploration of enhanced geothermal-related resources. On top of that, stress state modeling, which is essential for EGS success, […]
Rcoky Mountain MESA Jamboree and State Competition is fast paced and fun event, the culmination of an academic yearlong project where high school students' engineering design prototypes are judged. Along with the competition, there will be a non-competitive poster session, engineering experience expo and tours of various campus facilities. Rocky Mountain MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science […]
It is difficult to imagine a world without plastics; look around you, they’re everywhere. Plastic wastes, both on the macro and micro scale, are contaminating oceans at an alarming rate, affecting marine life and our food supply. The effects of micro and nano plastics on human health and on ecosystem health are not fully known. […]
Over the last decade, the advances in connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) have far surpassed the technological realm of transportation infrastructure. There is a growing need to have a technologically commensurate transportation infrastructure to enable safe and reliable movement of goods and people. The recent creation of Advanced Research Projects Agency - Infrastructure (ARPAI) through […]
