As scientists and engineers work to decarbonize our planet, one energy carrier has emerged as a possible substitute for fossil fuels: hydrogen. When used as a fuel, hydrogen does not directly produce any greenhouse gases—it only produces water. Hydrogen can...

Ringing in a more regenerative future

A new method of generating multiple, tunable nanopores could revolutionize membrane technology

Today the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the creation of two new Energy Innovation Hubs. One of the national hubs, the Energy Storage Research Alliance (ESRA), is led by Argonne National Laboratory and co-led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley...

Energy Transition Network unveiled to enable fundamental research to create societal impact

The discovery has the potential to reduce electronic waste and develop new applications for luminescent polymers

UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering Prof. Y. Shirley Meng’s Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion has created the world’s first anode-free sodium solid-state battery.

With applications in clothing, construction and food storage, the new textile reduces heat from both the sun and thermal radiation from nearby buildings

UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering Asst. Prof. Chong Liu discovered the ideal particles for efficiently isolating lithium from seawater, ground water, or other dilute sources of the mineral

Scientists looking to convert carbon dioxide into clean fuels and useful chemicals often make hydrogen gas and carbonates as unwanted byproducts. A new paper from the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering has found a cleaner path.
