Gonzo,
You can do this with BigDecimal and NumberFormat java classes:
<cfset n = "4.7e-013">
<cfset bigD = CreateObject("java", "java.math.BigDecimal")>
<cfset numFormat = CreateObject("java", "java.text.NumberFormat")>
<cfset numFormat = numFormat.getInstance()>
<cfset bigD.init(n)>
<cfset numFormat.setMaximumFractionDigits(100)>
<cfset numFormat.setMaximumIntegerDigits(100)>
<cfoutput>#numFormat.format(bigD.doubleValue())#</cfoutput>
