Lead Spider
PNNL scientists have been investigating high-pressure hydrogen material compatibility and surface degradation of aluminum-coated lead zirconate titanate (PZT) surfaces for applications in clean-burning hydrogen internal combustion engines. This lead (Pb) spider-like formation was discovered during the research. It was imaged with the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory’s helium ion microscope and may have battery applications. Contributing to this project are PNNL researchers Kyle Alvine, Vaithiyalingam Shutthanandan, Wendy Bennett and Stan Pitman.
This image was a part of the 2011 PNNL Science as Art contest.
