Chemical Process Produces Critical Battery Metals With No Waste

Cars That Think

About 40 percent is a magnesium product suitable for use in carbon sequestration, wastewater treatment, and alloy manufacturing, among other things. While NMC hydroxide represents the smallest fraction, (about 1 percent) of Aspiring’s outputs, it could still make a dent in future supply chains for battery materials.

MIT researchers boost efficiency of carbon capture and conversion systems

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT have developed a method that could significantly boost the performance of carbon capture and conversion systems that use catalytic surfaces to enhance the rates of carbon-sequestering electrochemical reactions. The movement through water is sluggish, which slows the rate of conversion of the carbon dioxide.

UCLA team proposes non-photosynthetic biological conversion of CO2

Green Car Congress

Most of us naturally associate biological CO 2 conversion with photosynthesis in plants and algae. Furthermore, the maximum efficiency of solar energy conversion by photosynthesis is 5%, while typical solar panel efficiency reaches 20%. If these are achieved, carbon yield and productivity can be greatly accelerated (e.g.,
