CMI Phase III Kick-Off Event CMI researchers from the across the Energy Innovation Hub conducted the activity for this highlight.
Design principles for polyethylene deconstruction Scientists established mechanistic role of metal oxide support on the catalytic deconstruction of polyolefins under H2.
Reactive separations improve polymer upcycling Reactive separation provides a complementary strategy to catalyst design to achieve selective conversion of polyolefins to upcycled liquids and avoiding the formation of light gases.
Understanding Rare Earth Element Adsorption Theoretical exploration of solvation phenomena of bare rare-earth (RE) cations in room-temperature ionic-liquid (RTIL) to visualize the solvation mechanism of RE cations in RTIL at the molecular level.
Batch Scale Production of 3D Printed Extraction Sorbents A cost-effective modification to a desktop resin 3D printer was demonstrated to produce polymeric ionic liquid (PIL) extraction devices.
Mechanistic Understanding of Rare-earth Element (REE) Capture MCM-22 synthesis with varying Si:Al ratios is a model aluminosilicate for ytterbium (Yb) capture and also serves as a synthetic clay mimic to obtain in-depth mechanistic understanding of the capture.
