Scientists from Tsinghua University have developed a hybrid battery that not only stores and supplies electricity but also produces valuable chemicals like furfuryl alcohol and furoic acid. The dual-use system combines features of rechargeable and redox flow batteries, using specialized catalysts to transform biomass-derived furfural into useful chemicals while the battery charges or discharges. This breakthrough could improve the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of rechargeable batteries by simultaneously providing power and value-added chemicals.
Dr. John B. Goodenough, the creator of the lithium-ion battery, passed away at the age of 100.
