Electrofuels approaches will use organisms able to extract energy from other sources, such as solar-derived electricity or hydrogen or earth-abundant metal ions. The critical barrier to wider deployment of electric vehicles is the high cost and low energy of today’s batteries. Electrofuels. BASF, LBNL, PNNL).

. … Traditional porous carbon materials, such as activated carbons (ACs), have high surface area (up to 3000 m 2 /g), but their large pore tortuosity and poor pore connectivity severely limit electrolyte ion transport to the surface. Furthermore, they are generally synthesized from coal or biomass (e.g., —To et al.

This research article focuses on a highly favored route to the synthesis of controlled nanostructures at high rate, high yield, and low cost by molten carbonate electrolysis. Addition of up to 50 mol% Na 2 CO 3 to a Li 2 CO 3 electrolyte decreases electrolyte costs and improves conditions for intercalation in Na-ion CNT anodes.
