DOE awards Group14 Technologies $3.96M as Energy Storage Grand Challenge winner; nano-silicon within an engineered carbon scaffold

Green Car Congress

Founded in 2015 as a spin-off from EnerG2, Group14 has developed a new elemental approach to produce ultra-high purity, high capacity silicon-carbon compound materials at low-cost to power the electrified world. Group14’s technology applies complex polymer chemistries to create high-performance silicon-carbon nanocomposites.

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

Researchers at George Washington University led by Dr. Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) have developed a new process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis; they call the process C2CNT (CO2 into carbon nanotubes). Controlling the electrolysis conditions results in a range of product.

ARPA-E awards $37M for IONICS projects; improving solid-state batteries and fuel cells

Green Car Congress

IONICS project teams are paving the way for technologies that overcome the limitations of current battery and fuel cell products. The IONICS program contains four categories: 1) Li-ion conductors that enable the cycling of Li metal without shorting, 2) Selective and low-cost separators for batteries with liquid reactants (e.g.,
