Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a promising new conversion-type cathode and electrolyte system that replaces expensive metals and traditional liquid electrolyte with lower cost transition metal fluorides and a solid polymer electrolyte. A paper on their work is published in the journal Nature Materials.

Currently, liquid products generated by electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction-reaction systems have been mixed with liquid electrolytes/soluble solutes, which requires energy- and cost-intensive separation processes to recover pure liquid fuel solutions. To address these challenges, our project is interdisciplinary. —Haotian Wang.

Methane monooxygenases (MMOs), found in methanotrophic bacteria, are selective catalysts for methane activation and conversion to methanol under mild conditions; however, these enzymes are not amenable to standard enzyme immobilization approaches. The enzymes retain up to 100% activity in the polymer construct. Blanchette et al.

PCC 6803 cells holding ethylene forming enzyme (Efe) from Pseudomonas syringae are entrapped within a natural polymer matrix, thus forming the thin-layer biocatalytic structure. 2 ethylene at 1.54% light to ethylene conversion efficiency. PCC 6803 mutant produced ethylene for up to 38 days, yielding 822 mL m ?2
