Porous Ceramics for Nuclear Fusion

Interdisciplinary

Lia Ryan, Qiwen Chen

Summary

Producing tritium for nuclear fusion requires materials that can perform reliably under controlled conditions. This project addresses that challenge by developing lithium-based ceramic materials with engineered porous structures. The design focuses on controlling pore size and distribution to improve material performance in fusion environments. The goal is to support more efficient tritium production and contribute to the development of fusion energy technologies.
