Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a promising new conversion-type cathode and electrolyte system that replaces expensive metals and traditional liquid electrolyte with lower cost transition metal fluorides and a solid polymer electrolyte. The Georgia Tech team sought to overcome those obstacles by using the solid polymer electrolyte.

A German consortium involving four companies and and two universities is developing dielectric elastomers (electroactive polymers) for the conversion of mechanical energy—in this case wave power—into electrical power. This is an essential part of the electroactive polymer that converts mechanical energy into electrical power.

Connected and communicating vehicles are now the norm. Gerald Artner constructed an antenna box from carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer material which could be installed in the front part of the roof, close to the windshield. In the future, data exchange will play an even greater role in road transport, not least to improve road safety.

The streamlined Eos Z3 battery module design features an aqueous electrolyte, bipolar electrodes, and a polymer casing. The bipolar structure simplifies internal battery connections to reduce internal resistance and improve round-trip efficiency. Conductive plastic anodes (-) and carbon-felt cathodes (+) make up the Z3 electrodes.
