Nanocomposite Spectroscopy Characterization for Solar Batteries

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supports a research and development program for the development of the next generation energy storage and conversion technologies. This includes, but limited to, materials for the use in fuel cells, electrolyzer catalysts, battery materials, gas storage and separation, electrochemical energy storage, thermochemical energy storage, solar cells, molecular and process modelling, biological systems/en...

Perovskite Support

California State University, Northridge (CSUN) will support and supply scientific research support for this project at SRNL for the synthesis and development of perovskite nanomaterials that can be characterized by various steady state and time dependent spectroscopies. CSUN has a unique set of analytical instrumentation that can characterize the proposed perovskite materials. The analytical equipment at CSUN can characterize materials, chemicals, and samples at the nano-, me...

Synthesis of practical high temperature superconductors in hydrogen-rich materials

California State University Northridge (CSUN) will support and supply scientific research support for a LDRD project at Sandia National Laboratory (SNL) focused on the synthesis and characterization of lanthanide based superhydrides (LnHx, x > 3). The research at CSUN will focus on the preparation and synthesis of La0, Y0, Yb0, LaHx, YHx, and YbHx species that can serve as precursors for the preparation of nanopa...
