Georgia Tech team develops highly efficient multi-phase catalyst for SOFCs and other energy storage and conversion systems

Green Car Congress

The catalyst is also readily applicable to other energy storage and conversion systems, including metal-air batteries, supercapacitors, electrolyzers, dye-sensitized solar cells, and photocatalysis. An open-access paper on their work appears in the journal Joule. This work demonstrates that a multi-phase catalyst coating (?

Researchers develop wave-energy-driven CO2 reduction system for production of carbon-based liquid fuels

Green Car Congress

The system consists of three components: the spring-assisted spherical TENG; an energy storage circuit with rectifiers and a supercapacitor; and a two-electrode electrochemical cell for CO 2 RR and OER. This type of TENG is more cost-effective compared to conventional EMG-based wave energy converters. Leung et al.
