Schematic illustration of the aqueous rechargeable lithium battery (ARLB) using the coated lithium metal as anode, LiMn 2 O 4 as cathode and 0.5 mol l -1 Li 2 SO 4 aqueous solution as electrolyte. Here we introduce a coating layer on lithium metal. The coated lithium metal is stable in aqueous electrolytes.

Electrofuels approaches will use organisms able to extract energy from other sources, such as solar-derived electricity or hydrogen or earth-abundant metal ions. This process will repurpose carbon dioxide for use as a liquid fuel that can be readily used as a high octane gasoline substitute. Electrofuels. per gallon. Ohio State Univ.
