A study by researchers from the University of Oklahoma and the US Naval Research Laboratory has found that biodiesel is easily susceptible to biological degradation by anaerobic bacteria. In a fuel environment, anaerobic conditions prevail whenever heterotrophic microbial respiration consumes oxygen at a rate that exceeds diffusion.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have synthesized manganese-platinum (Mn-Pt) nanocubes that how better electrocatalytic properties than their spherical counterparts. Alloys with Mn and platinum can provide a less expensive, more active catalyst in the PEM environment, the authors note. Article ASAP doi: 10.1021/ja100705j.

Researchers at the University of Delaware have developed a highly selective nanoporous silver catalyst capable of electrochemically reducing carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide with 92% efficiency. Additionally, because it is inorganic, silver remains more stable under harsh catalytic environments. Hutchings, Yannick C.

Previously, we knew these bacteria would secrete enzymes that would then freely diffuse into their environment. We assumed that the enzymes would by chance stick to either cellulose or a piece of biomass in their environment and start to degrade it. The extremely thermophilic, cellulose-degrading Caldicellulosiruptor bescii.

A team at the University of South Carolina synthesized a titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) and platinum catalyst supported on TiO 2 (Pt/TiO 2 ) for use in a fuel cell. The University of South Carolina catalyst addresses the conductivity issue, while offering a solution to the stability issue posed by Pt/C catalysts.
