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 C when exposed to wet air.

AI Plays Key Role in EV Charger Deployment and More

Blink Charging

Michigan state officials have said the software has already recommended that eight new chargers be installed at several Kroger grocery store locations. Researchers from the Idaho National Laboratory are using AI and machine learning to speed up EV battery charging without damaging the vehicle’s battery. Planning tools.

Future Transistors, Plastic Processors, and 3D Chips

Cars That Think

That seems to have been the reaction you (dear devoted IEEE Spectrum reader) took with your semiconductor article consumption. These could add intelligence to every currently-dumb object on store shelves today. Boise, Idaho-based Micron Technology got their first with a 232-layer NAND flash-memory chip.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

The impetus for this change came from a study by the US Idaho National Lab [ 2 ]. Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home.
