From Red Algae to Better Batteries: The Journey Behind Our Research
The following study sets out to explore the potential and working mechanism of a polysaccharide binder, derived from red algae, to enhance the performance of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. This modification could be a game-changer for Li-S technology, bringing it closer to practical applications.
Quantifying the shift of public export finance from fossil fuels to renewable energy
Export credit agencies (ECAs) de-risk and enable energy projects worldwide. Here, we analyze 921 energy deals backed by ECAs from 31 OECD and non-OECD countries to identify the direction and patterns of ECA energy financing, including fossil fuels, renewables, and grid infrastructure since 2013.
