Abstract: An electrode assembly includes a first substrate, a first active material composite coating the first substrate, a first electrode tab is formed by an uncoated portion of the first substrate that extends continuously between a first end and a second end of the first substrate. The assembly further includes a second elongate substrate, a second active material composite coating the second substrate, and a second electrode tab formed by an uncoated portion of the second substrate that extends continuously between a first end and a second end of the second substrate. An electrically-insulative separator is between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate and second substrate, stacked together with the separator located between them, are then rolled about a central axis to form a jelly roll.

Abstract: Disclosed are catalysts and methods that can reform aqueous solutions of oxygenated compounds such as ethylene glycol, glycerol, sugar alcohols, and sugars to generate products such as hydrogen and alkanes. In some embodiments, aqueous solutions containing at least 20 wt % of the oxygenated compounds can be reformed over a catalyst comprising a Group VIII transition metal and a Group VIIB transition metal, preferably supported on an activated carbon-supported catalyst. In other embodiments, catalysts are provided for the production of hydrogen or alkanes at reaction temperatures less than 300° C.
