Trees go high-tech: process turns cellulose into energy storage devices
Corvallis OR (SPX) Apr 08, 2014 - Based on a fundamental chemical discovery by scientists at Oregon State University, it appears that trees may soon play a major role in making high-tech energy storage devices. OSU chemists have found that cellulose - the most abundant organic polymer on Earth and a key component of trees - can be heated in a furnace in the presence of ammonia, and turned into the building blocks for super ... more
