This project explores the use of specially designed nanostructured polymers to make high-energy, low-cost, flexible and stretchable batteries. The long-term goal of this project is to develop a water-splitting device that operates at high temperatures (up to 400 °C), dramatically improving solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiencies.

High-level findings of the MIT study include: There are abundant supplies of natural gas in the world, and many of these supplies can be developed and produced at relatively low cost. It is clean and flexible. Natural gas use in the transportation sector is likely to increase, with the primary benefit being reduced oil dependence.

This research article focuses on a highly favored route to the synthesis of controlled nanostructures at high rate, high yield, and low cost by molten carbonate electrolysis. The addition of Zn, such as occurs in a coating on galvanized steel, further lowers the activation energy for CNT formation.

The finding, described in an open access paper in Nature’s Scientific Reports , is potentially a step towards reducing the cost of fuel cell technology—one of the impediments to widespread commercialization. The prohibitively high cost and scarcity of Pt have also been bottlenecks that further impede the widespread use of PEFCs.
