Researchers make major advances in dye sensitized solar cells – a cheaper and efficient replacement for platinum
Stanford scientists Matthew Kanan and Christina Li have created an oxide-derived copper catalyst that converts carbon monoxide to ethanol. The catalyst consists of a continuous network of copper nanocrystals with well-defined grain boundaries. The nanocrystalline network may be critical for producing ethanol, the scientists say.

Solar-Induced Hybrid Fuel Cell Produces Electricity Directly from Biomass
Examples of materials discovered through new technique: Lithium-containing compounds called sidorenkites were identified as potential battery cathode materials through high-throughput computational exploration. No lithium-containing materials with the CO3 and PO4 chemical groups found in these compounds exist in nature — these materials are fully synthetic and unexpected. Depending on the specific metal in them, they take on distinct colors (shown here). IMAGE COURTESY OF THE RESEARCHERS
