BIT, FAW team develops turbocharged, DI hydrogen engine; high power and efficiency, near-zero NOx

Green Car Congress

direct-injection (DI) turbocharged hydrogen engine that delivers clean, efficient, and high-power performance. Peak power of 120 kW @ 4400 rpm and a maximum torque of 340 N·m @ 2000 rpm can be achieved with the matched turbocharger. Hydrogen, as clean and renewable energy, is an ideal fuel for internal combustion engines.

Tsinghua team develops bio-inspired self-healing sulfur electrodes; almost no capacity decay after 2000 cycles

Green Car Congress

In this contribution, we propose a general scheme to explain the mechanism of self-healing electrolytes (SHEs) preloaded with polysulfides and to engineer extrinsic healing agents toward self-healable Li−S batteries. The healing mechanism mimics biological processes, fibrinolysis, within blood vessels. —Peng et al. —Peng et al.

Engineered E. coli produce styrene from glucose

Green Car Congress

Engineers at Arizona State University have engineered E. The conversion of endogenously synthesized l-phenylalanine to styrene was achieved by the co-expression of phenylalanine ammonia lyase and trans-cinnamate decarboxylase. Nielsen (2011) Styrene biosynthesis from glucose by engineered E. In 2006, eight.
