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. Renewable energy systems based on intermittent sources require methods for power balancing over time, and thus some means of storage. 1215159.
