The partnership comes as the European auto industry readies for a “battery passport” that will trace the content and carbon footprint of EV cells sold in Europe. “As soon as we switch this light on with the battery passport regulations, all of a sudden folks will start worrying about sourcing responsibly.”

A team of scientists at the University of Cambridge has reported the light-driven photoreforming of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin to H 2 using semiconducting cadmium sulfide quantum dots in alkaline aqueous solution. CdS is an inexpensive, visible-light-absorbing photocatalyst with a bulk electronic bandgap of around 2.4

Here we show that the charging rate of a cathode can be dramatically increased via interaction with white light. We find that a direct exposure of light to an operating LiMn 2 O 4 cathode during charging leads to a remarkable lowering of the battery charging time by a factor of two or more. —Lee et al.

The findings could spur progress on developing a variety of materials and designs for electrochemical carbon dioxide conversion systems. Depending on the material choice for the electrocatalysis, a certain variety of products is expected from the carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO 2 RR).

A team of researchers in Germany report on the first light-driven, iron-based catalytic system for hydrogen generation from formic acid in a paper published online 15 June in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Visible light is needed for both, creating an active system and driving the catalytic cycle. Click to enlarge.
