Researchers convert atmospheric CO2 to carbon nanofibers and nanotubes for use as anodes in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers from George Washington University and Vanderbilt University have demonstrated the conversion of atmospheric CO 2 into carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for use as high-performance anodes in both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries.

Researchers develop all-weather solar cell that generates power from rain as well as from sun

Green Car Congress

Now, however, researchers from the Ocean University of China (Qingdao) and Yunnan Normal University (Kunming, China) have developed an all-weather solar cell that is triggered by both sunlight and raindrops by combining an electron-enriched graphene electrode with a dye-sensitized solar cell. doi: 10.1002/anie.201602114. 201602114.

The first time it was committed to print is a 2016 paper by this guy called Arnold De Loof , a researcher out in Europe. It’s got sodium, potassium, calcium, etc., It doesn’t really like sodium so much. This was work from Denis Jabaudon at the University of Geneva, and they were looking at how neurons actually differentiate.
