Making catalytic surfaces more active to help decarbonize fuels and chemica...

This diagram illustrates the new process for enhancing reaction rates in an electrocatalytic process. The catalyst layer, made of gold or platinum, is shown as gray spheres at the bottom, and the material to be catalyzed is shown as the rad spheres at the top. Adding a layer of ionic liquid in between, shown as the hexagonal lattices, can increase reaction rates by fivefold. At left, a detail of how oxygen (red) and hydrogen (green) can combine to form water at an enhanced rate through this process.

Designing better batteries for electric vehicles

MIT Energy Initiative

Solid-state batteries now being developed could be key to achieving the widespread adoption of electric vehicles — potentially a major step toward a carbon-free transportation sector. A team of researchers from MIT and the University of California at Berkeley has demonstrated the importance of keeping future low-cost, large-scale manufacturing in mind when exploring novel battery concepts.
