Researchers develop ultralow content binder for high-performance silicon anodes

Green Car Congress

Researchers in China have designed a 3D-crosslinked binder with ultralow-content (1 wt%) that not only endures the huge volume variation of silicon anodes under charge/discharge cycles but also enhance electrochemical performance. The highly branched TA is introduced to construct a network of multiple hydrogen bonds. Tang et al.

Researchers in China develop new process for direct synthesis of drop-in jet-fuel-range blendstock from lignocellulose

Green Car Congress

Researchers in China have developed an integrated two-bed continuous flow reactor process for the direct synthesis with high carbon yields (~70%) of dodecanol (C 12 H 26 O) or 2,4,8- trimethylnonane (C 12 H 26 O 2 )—a jet-fuel-range C 12 branched alkane—from methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), which can be derived from lignocellulose.
