The information from this first set of organisms has provided a rich source of novel enzymes and detailed biochemical pathways that can help scientists optimize processes of critical importance to areas of the DOE mission, such as biofuels production, bioremediation, and how carbon is captured and cycled in the environment. It’s that simple.”

The PHEV pack is based on 14 Ah lithium-ion polymer cells, with carbon-coated LiFePO 4 as the cathode material. Carbon coating is a technique used to overcome the low conductivity of lithium iron phosphate by enhancing conduction on the particle scale. Tags: Batteries Plug-ins. Earlier post.) Burke, Andrew F.
