Scientists at the University of New South Wales (Australia) have developed a new bio-inspired method for carrying out chemical reduction—an industrial process used to produce fuels and chemicals. A future aim is to try to convert carbon dioxide into methanol much more efficiently. McSkimming, A., Bhadbhade, M. and Colbran, S.

A variety of cations, including Na + , K + , NH 4 + , Mg 2 + , and Al 3 + , can also be intercalated electrochemically, offering capacitance in excess of 300 farads per cubic centimeter (much higher than that of porous carbons). This capacity is significantly higher than what is currently possible with porous carbon electrodes.

Researchers at Stanford University and SLAC led by Stanford associate professor Yi Cui have used a sulfur–TiO 2 yolk–shell design for a cathode material for a lithium-sulfur battery that achieved an initial specific capacity of 1,030? The sulfur cathode stored up to five times more energy per sulfur weight than today’s commercial materials.
