One of the benefits of using print electronics is being able to mass-produce at a low cost, says Gregory Whiting at the University of Colorado, Boulder, one of the principal investigators of the team working on the sensors. At the same time, Rinaldi is already taking steps to commercialize the technology.

This proprietary novel gas fermentation technology converts the carbon monoxide-containing waste gases emitted by blast furnace, coke oven and BOF (basic oxygen furnace) operations into low-cost ethanol and high-value chemicals. If successful, the first commercialization of this technology is expected as early as 2018.

But so far, their commercialization is limited to large-scale uses such as storing energy on the grid. It opens up a path to making low-cost, compact sodium batteries practical. Abundant and cheap, and with similar chemical properties as lithium, sodium is a promising replacement for lithium in next-generation batteries.
