Hybrid biomass flow battery stores electricity and produces valuable chemicals at the same time

Green Car Congress

During operation, the furfural–nickel hydroxide battery converts biomass-derived molecular furfural into either furfuryl alcohol or furoic acid. A rechargeable biomass battery was designed to integrate electricity storage/generation and electrosynthesis of useful chemicals from furfural in one system. Resources Li, J.,
