Methods for Controlled Recovery of Useful Materials from Nuclear Fuels
Invention SummaryThe methods would allow nuclear materials—lanthanides and actinides—to be dissolved directly into ionic liquid for electrochemical recovery, reducing the number of steps and the negative influence of water in the process. The same ionic liquid serves as an electrochemical bath for the plating of actinides and lanthanides...

Solid-State Electrolyte Material for Sodium-Ion Batteries
Invention SummaryWe’ve created a sodium-rich antiperovskite (NaRAP) material that greatly improves battery capabilities. Antiperovskite is a type of crystal structure that exists naturally deep in the earth’s mantle that we now can create in the lab. When used as an electrolyte (the material between positive and negative electrodes on a...

Plasma Treatment to Strengthen Diamonds
Invention SummaryThis invention is applicable to toughening diamonds—that is, to improvements in the wear resistance and/or hardness of natural or synthetic diamond. The treatment is an immersion of the diamond in a low-temperature plasma environment. The plasma cations penetrate into the diamond material. The small ion with an available reactive...
