Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a new biologically inspired catalyst that is the first iron-based catalyst that converts hydrogen directly to electricity. The catalyst could support the achievement of more affordable fuel cells.

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have developed a low-cost, stable, effective catalyst made from earth-abundant molybdenum and common soybeans (MoSoy). This artificial photosynthetic process mimics how plants convert those same ingredients to energy in the form of sugars.

Global Bioenergies, founded in 2008, has developed a synthetic isobutene pathway that, when implanted in a micro-organism, enables the organism to convert sugars (e.g., The process to convert isobutene to isooctane is well-established. So here our isobutene would allow us to integrate this very cheap fossil component into the fuel.

While some specially designed 3D porous graphene networks show good pore connectivity and conductivity, large-scale and low-cost fabrication of such graphene networks remains a challenge. Our designer carbon is simple to make, relatively cheap and meets all of the critical requirements for high-performance electrodes.

The technology to make the metal-free ORR catalysts builds on a simple and cheap industrial process several of the researchers developed to make graphene sheets from graphite. The weaker the oxygen bonds became, the more efficiently the oxygen was reduced and converted to water at the cathode. —Jeon et al.

The overall conversion efficiency of the wired cell indicates that a majority of the current from the solar cell can be converted directly to solar fuels and that a simply engineered functional artificial leaf comprising earth-abundant materials may be realized.

Aluminium should be an attractive anode material for rechargeable Li-ion batteries for many reasons, such as low cost (~$2,000 ton −1 ), high theoretical capacity (2,235 mAh g −1 if Li 9 Al 4 , low potential plateau (~0.19–0.45 V V against Li + /Li 3 ), high electrical conductivity and so on.

But given the relatively low cost of electricity, and the large public environmental benefit, it seems premature to presume monetization or let the desire for monetization drive the placement of charge stations. I think it makes sense for public resources to drive the early rollout.

We now have a sprinkling of promising companies working to get funded to convert gas-guzzlers. And oil only seems cheap. Using existing technology, we can convert many of them into plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles. But let’s realize: defending our nation is never cheap. Its impacts are increasingly unaffordable.

The time was right because of the imminence of three hardware developments: the first low-cost, bit-mapped personal computer, the first low-cost laser printer, and a decline in price of high-density memory chips. As noted earlier, one was a cheap laser printer. No earlier technology had done them justice.

You waste a little bit of silicon, but silicon’s pretty cheap. Not only were development costs absorbed in company overhead, but there was no markup to pay, as there would have been inf the chips had been built by another company.
