WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy issued the following news release on Aug. 25, 2023: The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) today issued a notice of intent (NOI) to provide funding made available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for DOE's Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation (CIFIA) Future Growth Grants program, focused on expanding carbon dioxide (CO2)  more

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (TNSres) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory issued the following abstract of a journal article: * * * Abstract Metal (M)-oxygen (O2) batteries (MOBs) are great candidates for the next-generation energy storage systems due to their high safety, low cost, environmental friendliness and especially a high volumetric energy density. However, during oxygen reduction process in metal-oxygen batteries (MOBs), the solid discharge products can d  more

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (TNSres) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory issued the following abstract of a journal article: * * * Abstract Pd-loaded FER and SSZ-13 zeolites as low-temperature passive NOx adsorbers (PNA) are compared under practical conditions. Vehicle cold start exposes the material to CO under a range of concentrations, necessitating a systematic exploration of the effect of CO on the performance of isolated Pd ions in PNA. The NO release temper  more

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (TNSres) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory issued the following abstract of a journal article: * * * Abstract Moisture contained in vehicle exhaust gas normally degrades the capacity and efficiency of Pd ion-exchanged zeolites as NOx adsorbents by competitive adsorption on active sites. Here, we report a counterexample to this general proposition, in which moisture facilitates the storage of NO as a nitrosyl complex on hydrated Pd ion  more
