The semi-solid thick electrode is a material science innovation originating in Dr. Yet-Ming Chiang’s lab at MIT. (Dr. Using thick electrodes, the cell also stores more energy, bettering the performance of the battery as well as its cost. The company has developed a microporous polymer membrane to replace incumbent separator materials.

This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy. The aerobic microbe has been engineered at MIT and is capable of converting a variety of organic compounds into oil, from which biodiesel may be produced. The project also will develop a chemical method to transform butanol into jet fuel.
