Researchers convert atmospheric CO2 to carbon nanofibers and nanotubes for use as anodes in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers from George Washington University and Vanderbilt University have demonstrated the conversion of atmospheric CO 2 into carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for use as high-performance anodes in both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries.

OSU team developing Gas and Biomass to Liquids (GBTL) technology for production of liquid hydrocarbons

Green Car Congress

Bio-oil produced from biomass fast pyrolysis technology can be converted into hydrocarbons; however, this process is challenging due to the instability of bio-oil. The project shows that direct co-conversion of biomass and methane with an appropriately designed catalyst leads to significant improvements in hydrocarbon yields.

Photos have become the universal form of casual conversation,” he said in a 2018 interview with The Institute. Smith at Bell Labs , consist of a sensor that converts an incoming two-dimensional light pattern into an electrical signal that in turn becomes an image.

Wisconsin, GLBRC researchers use chemical genomics to engineer IL-resistant yeast to improve biofuel production

Green Car Congress

As a result, their xylose-converting strain consumed glucose and xylose faster and produced more ethanol than the wild type strain. This guided them in successfully engineering the new strain of yeast that not only shows resistance to ionic liquids but also improves sugar conversion and biofuel production.
