Abstract: Daedalus is adapting his idea of directional combustion catalysts, turning it to electricity generation. His crystalline catalysts have highly regular surfaces that cause the combustion products to spring off in a specific direction. DREADCO chemists are developing a catalytic battery based on catalysts for which the product is an electron: butane and air impinge in the surface, and a stream of electrons emerges, driving a current far more efficiently than conventional batteries.
