An interdisciplinary team, including 32 year ECS member Stuart Licht and ECS student member Matthew Lefler, has developed a way to make electric vehicles that are not only carbon neutral, but carbon negative – capable of reducing the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide as they operate by transforming the greenhouse gas. By replacing the graphite electrodes that are currently being used in the development of lithium-ion batteries for electric cars with carbon materials recovered from the atmosphere, the researchers have…

Guest Editors David E. Cliffel, Vanderbilt University, U.S. Peter Holtappels, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Germany Yun Jeong Hwang, Seoul National University, South Korea Ifan Stephens, Imperial College London, UK Xiao-Dong Zhou, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, U.S. While society needs to approach or surpass net zero carbon emissions by 2050 if the planet as we know it is to survive, most of the low carbon technologies that we promote (such as electric vehicles) cannot achieve net zero when considered over their whole life cycle. It is,…
