DSD to reveal low cost 48V e-drive architecture concepts at CTI Symposium

Green Car Congress

Driveline engineering specialist Drive System Design (DSD) will introduce a new 48V e-drive systems concept for mild hybrid vehicles at the 9 th International CTI Symposium later this month. There is a natural limit with 48V of ~15kW per machine so a modular concept makes the lower voltage system more attractive. —John Reeve.

DOE selects 15 projects for $32M to advance lower-cost fusion concepts; ARPA-E BETHE

Green Car Congress

These projects will work to develop timely, commercially viable fusion energy, with the goal to increase the number and performance levels of lower-cost fusion concepts. However, there remains a need to lower the costs of fusion development and accelerate its development timeline to have appreciable impact. Earlier post.)

Researchers use chemical looping process to produce hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide gas

Green Car Congress

Herein, we demonstrate a sulfur looping scheme in a one-reactor system using a low-cost and environmentally safe iron-based sulfur carrier. The researchers later applied the concept to hydrogen sulfide and invented the SULGEN process, which converts hydrogen sulfide into hydrogen. —Jangam et al.

Low-cost N-doped interlayer derived from loofah sponge enables high-performance Li-S, Li-Se and LiI2 batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Griffith University in Australia and Peking University in China have synthesized low-cost, hierarchically porous, and nitrogen-doped loofah sponge carbon (N-LSC) derived from the loofah sponge via a simple calcining process and applied it as a multifunctional blocking layer for Li–S, Li–Se, and Li–I 2 batteries.
