Taiwan team engineers E. coli to produce n-butanol from glycerol

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Feng Chia University in Taiwan have engineered the bacterium Escherichia coli to produce n-butanol from crude glycerol—a byproduct of the production of biodiesel. A commercialized bioprocess of n-butanol can be readily realized by a cost-effective feedstock. g/L n-butanol from 20 g/L crude glycerol.

Improving the Charge-Discharge Capacity and Cycleability of Carbon Electrodes for Li-ion Batteries

Green Car Congress

However, carbon remains the predominant commercial anode material solution at this point. Researchers at Feng Chia University in Taiwan have developed a procedure to prepare surface-modified mesophase pitch carbon to increase the charge-discharge capacity and cycleability of carbon electrodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
