INL researchers develop high-performance oxygen electrode for PCEC cell; high-temperature electrolysis

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Idaho National Laboratory have developed a new electrode material for a protonic ceramic electrochemical cell (PCEC) that can efficiently convert excess electricity and water into hydrogen. In this article, we report our findings from the creation of a perovskite TCO electrode PrNi 0.5

The First Digital Camera Was The Size of a Toaster

Cars That Think

Smith at Bell Labs , consist of a sensor that converts an incoming two-dimensional light pattern into an electrical signal that in turn becomes an image. Although the CCDs could capture an image, they couldn’t store it. He designed it so each tape would store 30 images. The image was then transferred to the cassette.

How Automotive Dealerships Can Save Money with Battery Energy Storage

Blink Charging

A BESS is a type of technology that utilizes batteries to store and supply reliable electricity when needed at desired levels and quality. If your energy comes primarily from renewables, the BESS enables you to store that energy for times when renewables may not be available, like at night for when solar panels are inactive.

Tokyo Tech researchers ID enzyme that could boost algal biofuel production

Green Car Congress

Algae can store up large amounts of triacylglycerols (TAGs) under adverse conditions such as nitrogen deprivation. Understanding precisely how they do so is of key interest to the biotechnology sector, as TAGs can be converted to biodiesel. Scientific Reports Volume 8, Article number: 12410 doi: 10.1038/s41598-018-30809-8.

Why Bidirectional Charging is The Next Big Thing for EV Owners

Wallbox

This article is your lighthouse: it will give you some background on what bidirectional EV charging means and how it works. Well, when an EV is charged, AC (alternating current) electricity from the grid is converted to DC (direct current) electricity, the kind that can be used by a car. V2G: Vehicle to Grid.

What Type of Brake System is Used in Electric Vehicles?

Get Electric Vehicle

A moving vehicle possesses kinetic energy and to stop the vehicle, the energy of the moving vehicle has to be converted into another form. So, the kinetic energy is converted to heat energy at the brake, and the vehicle stops. Here is an article about one pedal driving of electric vehicle. What is a brake system in vehicle?
