Credit: ACS, Li et al. The largest impact from the battery use stage is mainly from the primary energy consumption (2.94 × 10 5 MJ) during the 10-year service life of the EV. The total primary energy consumption in the use stage is about 18 times that of the embedded energy in the battery pack. —Li et al.

They thus have found that gold is similar to platinum in creating –O and –OH linkages with more than eight alkali ions and establishing an active site on various supports. The alkali ion–associated surface OH groups were activated by CO at low temperatures (~100 °C) in the presence of atomically dispersed platinum. —Yang et al.
