Researchers at Hasselt University in Belgium are proposing a new class of solid composite electrolytes (SCEs) for Li-ion batteries: deep eutectic solvent (DES)–silica composites. These ETGs can be easily processed—potentially at lower costs—than ionic-liquid-based composite electrolytes. —Joos et al.

While the MOF material has advantages in the simplicity and potentially low cost of manufacturing, the materials used to make it are more expensive than conventional carbon-based materials, Dincă said. We have a new material to work with, and we haven’t optimized it at all. It’s completely tunable, and that’s what’s exciting.

E-TAC’s membrane-free electrolytic reactors are suitable for high-pressure hydrogen production and cost-efficient scaling. E-TAC is also expected to prove more cost effective than traditional electrolysis, with CAPEX costs anticipated to be broadly halved, alongside lower operational costs.

Van Hool is a Belgium-based independent bus, coach and industrial vehicle OEM. For these newly funded buses, Ballard will deliver its FCvelocity-HD7 product, a next-generation fuel cell power module offering improved durability and reliability together with significant cost reduction (Ballard estimates a 30-40% reduction.)

Part of the reason for its success is the price, which keeps falling—from $595 at its introduction to $149 currently, for which the consumer gets graphics and sound equal to or better than that provided by machines that cost five times as much. The cost of developing the Commodore 64: No one knows. It’s only sand.”
