Researchers at Virginia Tech
have successfully created a sugar-powered fuel cell that has an energy
storage density of 596 amp-hours per kilo — or “one order of magnitude”

solution of maltodextrin, and its only by products are electricity and
water. The chief researcher, Dr. Zhang, says the tech could be
commercialized in as soon as three years.
