Study identifies main culprit behind lithium metal battery failure; counters conventional wisdom

Green Car Congress

In contrast, when a commercial carbonate electrolyte is used, lithium deposits with a twisty, whisker-like morphology. This excellent performance is attributed to the columnar microstructure formed on the surface of the current collector with minimum tortuosity, which significantly enhances the structural connection.

Synthetic biology company launches JV to commercialize gas-to-liquids bioconversion; isobutanol first target

Green Car Congress

It thus offers economic advantages over traditional conversion platforms that rely on costly thermochemical catalytic processes, such as the Fischer-Tropsch method of carbon upgrading, or depend on available plant-based feedstocks. Methanotrophic bacteria oxidize methane as their sole carbon source to support cellular metabolism and growth.
