3D-Soft Electrode for Li-Metal Batteries Background Due to their high theoretical current density, Li-Air, Li-sulfur, and Li-selenium batteries have attracted a great deal of attention. Their high energy density, which can be two orders of magnitude greater that current lithium ion batteries, makes them ideal for applications ranging from automotive...

Transportation fuels and many chemical products are derived from and depend on petroleum, which has one of the biggest impacts on our unsustainable way of living. Production of cost-competitive fuels and chemicals by microbial fermentation using renewable feedstock is a desirable alternative to petroleum-based production. Woody/plant biomass, especially...
