Researchers use melamine to create effective, low-cost carbon capture; potential tailpipe application

Green Car Congress

UC Berkeley chemists created the first such carbon-capture MOF in 2015, and subsequent versions have proved even more efficient at removing carbon dioxide from flue gases, such as those from a coal-fired power plant. The low cost of porous melamine means that the material could be deployed widely.

Chinese researchers develop new alloy for on-board hydrogen production for fuel cells

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tsinghua University have used a gallium, indium, tin and bismuth alloy to generate hydrogen, when placed in contact with an aluminum plate immersed in water. Al is a favored hydrogen generation material because of its relatively low cost, low density, and abundant geological reserves.

DOE announces $60M to accelerate advanced vehicle technologies research

Green Car Congress

VTO-funded research has reduced the cost of advanced batteries by 75% since 2008, and nearly every plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) on the road today uses VTO-developed battery technology. DOE is working to lower the cost of the power electronics and motors in an EV to $7/kW by 2022 from $30/kW in 2012. New Mobility Systems (Up to $17.5
