Better Lithium-Air Batteries through Biology
How can viruses lead to improved capacity and cycle life for lithium-oxygen batteries? Read the article here to learn more details: “Biologically enhanced cathode design for improved capacity and cycle life for lithium-oxygen batteries.”
Research in the Biomolecular Materials Group
The Biomolecular Materials Group investigates multiple areas connected by the common thread of genetically engineered phage to create new materials:
- Photovoltaics
- Batteries
- Catalysis
- Biofuels
- Carbon sequestration
- Cancer Imaging
- Quantum Coherence
