OSTI Database Search
Search the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.gov) for technical reports, journal articles, and conference papers. Covers 1,100+ DOE-funded documents across critical mineral categories including rare earth elements, lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, gallium, germanium, and graphite.
Usage
Basic search:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/osti_search.py --query "rare earth separation"
Search by commodity:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/osti_search.py --query "extraction" --commodity HREE
Filter by year range:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/osti_search.py --query "lithium recovery" --year-from 2020 --year-to 2025
Filter by product type:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/osti_search.py --query "critical minerals" --product-type "Technical Report"
JSON output:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/osti_search.py --query "cobalt supply chain" --format json --limit 20

| --product-type | Product type filter (Technical Report, Journal Article, Conference) | - |
| --year-from | Start year for publication date filter | - |
| --year-to | End year for publication date filter | - |
| --limit | Maximum results to return | 10 |
| --sort | Sort by: relevance, date | relevance |
| --format | Output format: summary, detailed, json, bibtex | summary |
Commodity Codes
| Code | Description |
|------|-------------|
| HREE | Heavy Rare Earth Elements (Dy, Tb, Eu, Y, etc.) |
| LREE | Light Rare Earth Elements (La, Ce, Nd, Pr, etc.) |
| CO | Cobalt |
| LI | Lithium |
| GA | Gallium |
| GR | Graphite |
| NI | Nickel |
| CU | Copper |
| GE | Germanium |
| OTH | Other critical minerals |
Examples
# Search for heavy rare earth separation techniques
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/osti_search.py --query "heavy rare earth separation" --commodity HREE
# Recent DOE reports on lithium extraction
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/osti_search.py --query "lithium extraction" --product-type "Technical Report" --year-from 2022 --sort date
# Critical minerals supply chain analysis with detailed output
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/osti_search.py --query "supply chain critical minerals" --format detailed --limit 15
# Get BibTeX citations for cobalt recycling papers
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/osti_search.py --query "cobalt recycling" --commodity CO --format bibtex
Notes
- OSTI.gov API is free and does not require authentication
- Covers DOE-funded research: national labs, universities, contractors
- Document types include technical reports, journal articles, conference papers, theses, patents
- For local corpus search, use the
corpus-searchskill instead - Rate limiting: be courteous, avoid excessive requests
