Atomic structure of new cathode material for sodium ion batteries helps explain long life

As a result of the successful optimisation testwork, Peak Resources has commissioned ANSTO Minerals to operate the pilot plant to validate the optimised “Alkali Roast” process flowsheet that has been selected by Peak for the Bankable Feasibility Study. The study is expected to be completed by early 2017.

ANSTO has played a formative role and continues to make important contributions using nuclear and isotopic techniques to understand past climates and patterns of change, maintain water resource sustainability and provide insights into the impact of contaminate in the environment.

Radioisotope tracing technique are used to understand the uptake of contaminants, and nutrients, bioaccumulation, by aquatic organisms and terrestrial plants.

ANSTO has the capability to analyse heavy isotopes such as 129I, platinum group elements, 236U and Pu isotopes.

When an energetic ion beam hits a sample it will interact with the atoms through a number of very complex interactions. By detecting and measuring the reaction products resulting from the various interactions and their intensities, you can obtain quantitative data on the sample's constituent elements and their spatial distribution.

Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) is a highly sensitive method of quantitative elemental analysis. There is a wide range of potential applications for neutron irradiations.
