The cost of Li-ion batteries has plunged some 97% since their introduction three decades ago—a rate similar to the drop in solar panel prices. The researchers looked at academic articles, industry and government reports, press releases, specification sheets and legal filings, says MIT postdoc Micah Ziegler.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and MIT have found that increasing the particle size of a fuel cell catalyst can decrease its degradation and therefore increase the useful lifetime of a fuel cell. While platinum can withstand the corrosive fuel cell environment, it is expensive and not very abundant.

Researchers at MIT led by Drs. Using the nanocomposites as photoanodes in dye-sensitized solar cells, they achieved a power conversion efficiency in the solar cells of 10.6%, up from 8%—an increase of almost one-third. This new method used to enhance solar cell performance is quite different, Belcher says.
