OSU hybrid “solar battery” uses photo-assisted charging to improve performance of Li-air batteries; “negative overpotential”

Green Car Congress

Researchers at The Ohio State University have developed a novel strategy to improve the efficiency and performance of non-aqueous lithium-oxygen (Li-air) batteries. Recently, redox shuttles, such as tetrathiafulvalene (TTF + /TTF), have been introduced in the battery electrolyte to address this poor charge transport issue.

Simulation study suggests ORC waste heat recovery system could deliver potential 7% improvement in fuel consumption in a PHEV on highway

Green Car Congress

The analysis used the Ohio State University EcoCAR, a student prototype PHEV, as the basis for the preliminary fuel economy evaluation. In this case, the low engine speed and torque reduce the energy and availability in the exhaust gas, resulting in very low energy conversion by the ORC. of the fuel energy on the NEDC cycle.
