PNNL researchers power battery with vitamin B2 and glucose

October 30, 2025 |

In Washington state, researchers reporting in ACS Energy Letters have devised a battery powered by vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and glucose. Inspired by how human bodies break down glucose for energy using enzymes, the team incorporated riboflavin into a prototype flow cell battery. The riboflavin mediator helped shuttle electrons between the battery’s electrodes and the glucose […]

PNNL researchers identify best sites for waste-to-SAF production facilities

PNNL researchers identify best sites for waste-to-SAF production facilities

October 2, 2024 |

In Washington state, PNNL researchers identified the most efficient sites for waste-to-fuel SAF production facilities. The optimum solution is co-locating the SAF production facilities with the places where significant amounts of waste is produced and airports where SAF could be used at high volumes.  The researchers focused on wet waste (sludge, manure, etc.) and dry […]
