Anode-free Batteries

The lithium-metal battery (LMB) has been regarded as the most promising and viable future high-energy-density rechargeable battery technology due to the employment of the Li-metal anode. However, it suffers from poor energy density and safety, and improved battery design is sought. The anode-free full-cell architecture is constructed from a fully lithiated cathode with a bare anode Cu current collector. In such an anode-free lithium battery, both the gravimetric and volumetric energy densities can be extended to the maximum limit. Moreover, …

Australian Ganoderma species for the production of bioactive metabolites and new functional materials synthesis

Fungi are essential components of all ecosystems in roles including symbiotic partners, decomposers and nutrient cyclers and as a source of food for vertebrates and invertebrates. While vital to soil health and organic matter turnover, fungi have great potential in sustainable design and medicine.Ganoderma strains in particular produce bioactive compounds and display growth characteristics that favour their use in medical and applied biotechnology. Some species produce triterpenoids, such as ganoderic acids, and have been used in traditional Asian medicine for …
