Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, in collaboration with KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, have produced a structural battery that performs ten times better than all previous versions. It contains carbon fiber that serves simultaneously as an electrode, conductor, and load-bearing material. Image: Marcus Folino.

Replacement of up to 90% (270 Mt) of the total global consumption of plastics in 2007 with bio-based plastics is ultimately technically possible, according to new study by authors at Utrecht University, commissioned by the associations European Bioplastics and the European Polysaccharide Network of Excellence (EPNOE).

Unlike the simple starch-based sugars in corn and other grains, the complex polysaccharide sugars in plant cell walls are locked within a robust aromatic polymer called lignin. JBEI is one of three Bioenergy Research Centers established by the DOE’s Office of Science in 2007. This research was supported by the DOE Office of Science.

to develop and test a 25 kWh prototype battery system based on nanostructured polymer electrolytes. At the core of Seeo’s technology is a novel solid polymer electrolyte material that can transport Li ions while providing inherently safe and stable support for very high energy electrode chemistries.
