A Biologically Inspired Organometallic Fuel Cell (OMFC) That Converts Renewable Alcohols into Energy and Chemicals

Abstract

Embedded and working: The intact deposition of a complex into carbon powder allows the construction of an organometallic fuel cell (OMFC) that efficiently converts alcohols into carboxylic acids. This method may provide a way for the synthesis of fine chemicals from renewable resources under waste-free conditions.
