A Chinese research team from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel, environmentally friendly low-cost battery that overcomes many of the problems of lithium ion batteries (LIB).
A team of scientists at LiU’s Laboratory for Organic Electronics have produced an innovative supercapacitor that can be charged by solar energy. This patent-pending supercapacitor does not include any toxic or costly materials, and can be mass-produced on an industrial scale.
A multidisciplinary research team have developed a method to produce electric vehicles that are both carbon negative and carbon neutral. This means that the vehicle will be able to reduce the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as they are driven.
The growing popularity of battery-powered cars could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but they are not entirely Earth friendly. Problems can creep in when these batteries are disposed of. Scientists, in a new study in ACS’ journal Chemistry of Materials, are reporting that compounds increasingly used in lithium-ion batteries are toxic to a type of soil-dwelling bacteria that plays an important environmental role.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions compared to their gas-only counterparts. Researchers at the University of California, Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering have taken the technology one step further, demonstrating how to improve the efficiency of current PHEVs by almost 12 percent.
ACS Applied Materials Interfaces recently published a study by University of Maryland scientists, who have discovered a new method for preparing batteries. This new preparation method starts with baking a leaf, and then adding sodium. The scientists used a carbonized oak leaf filled with sodium as a negative terminal or anode for the demonstration battery.
Researchers from EPFL have discovered a solution that will aid in making electric cars competitive, enabling them to be charged as fast as it takes to fill a tank of gas. The solution is an intermediate storage which does not affect the power grid.
Rechargeable batteries power everything from electric vehicles to wearable gadgets, but obstacles limit the creation of sleeker, longer-lasting and more efficient power sources.
The U.S transportation sector consisting of cars, trucks, buses, and rail, marine, and air transport accounts for over 20% of the energy consumed. This energy is derived mostly from fossil fuels. The need for finding alternative environment friendly forms of fuel is on the rise.
New production process allows industrial use and power outputs in the two- to three-digit megawatt range / German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) provides 3.9 million euros funding for “extruded plate” project as cross-sector collaboration between industry and research
