Researchers synthesize battery cathode from lignin derivatives

Green Car Congress

Milczarek and Inganäs describe how a class of organic compounds known as quinones allows the lignin derivatives to shed a proton and store this electric charge in its place. Materials for charge storage are desired from easily accessible and renewable sources. Their research appears in the 23 March issue of the journal Science.

Electric Cars and a Smarter Grid - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. In effect, cars would be acting like tiny power stations. While utilities such as E.ON
