Georgia Tech team develops simple, low-cost process for oxide nanowires; superior separators for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a simple technique for producing oxide nanowires directly from bulk materials under ambient conditions without the use of catalysts or any external stimuli. The process is believed to be the first to convert bulk powders to nanowires at ambient conditions. —Lei et al.

Roadmap shows how to improve lignocellulosic biofuel biorefining with high-value products from isolated lignin

Green Car Congress

The resulting roadmap uses the integration of genetic engineering with analytical chemistry tools to tailor the structure of lignin and its isolation so it can be used for materials, chemicals and fuels, said lead author Arthur Ragauskas, a professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
