ARPA-E awards $175M to 68 novel clean energy OPEN 2021 projects

Green Car Congress

The new superjunction structure will surpass the theoretical trade-off between on- resistance and breakdown voltage observed in conventional unipolar GaN, leading to more efficient and cheaper power converters. The system takes three main inputs: ambient air, water, and a sustainable energy source, and produces butanol with high selectivity.
