Electric potential

摘要

Fuel-cell technology could be used to convert CO_2 into usable hydrocarbons and to create self-powered desalination plants following new research at Surrey University.rnScientists have shown that microbes treating wastewater and CO_2 passed through molten carbonates can produce electricity.rnNow, a team at the Surrey Materials Institute (SMI) hopes to create technology based on these ideas while reducing their energy usage.
