Cambridge team demonstrates light-driven photoreforming of unprocessed biomass to H2 at room temperature

Green Car Congress

A team of scientists at the University of Cambridge has reported the light-driven photoreforming of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin to H 2 using semiconducting cadmium sulfide quantum dots in alkaline aqueous solution. CdS is an inexpensive, visible-light-absorbing photocatalyst with a bulk electronic bandgap of around 2.4

Linking Chips With Light For Faster AI

Cars That Think

Stephen Cass: Hi, I’m Stephen Cass, for IEEE Spectrum’s Fixing the Future. And recently, you wrote an article about the race to replace electricity with light inside computers, which is letting chips talk to each other with fiber optics rather than just using fiber optics to communicate between computers. So what’s going on?

ANL researchers report photo-excitation can speed up Li-ion charging by factor of two

Green Car Congress

Here we show that the charging rate of a cathode can be dramatically increased via interaction with white light. We find that a direct exposure of light to an operating LiMn 2 O 4 cathode during charging leads to a remarkable lowering of the battery charging time by a factor of two or more. —Lee et al.
