Study: hydrogen boride nanosheets are a promising hydrogen carrier; 8wt% under ambient conditions

Green Car Congress

The two-dimensional materials derived from magnesium diboride (MgB 2 ) were first reported by researchers in Japan in 2017. Innovative nanosheets made from equal parts of hydrogen and boron have a greater capacity to store and release hydrogen compared with conventional metal-based materials.

UCSD, South 8 team report improved liquefied-gas electrolytes for Li-metal batteries

Green Car Congress

Improvements to a class of battery electrolyte first introduced in 2017—liquefied gas electrolytes—could pave the way to replacing the graphite anode with a lithium-metal anode. cycling efficiency reported in the 2017 Science paper, and an 85% cycling efficiency for lithium metal anodes with a conventional (liquid) electrolyte.

NREL researchers capture excess photon energy to produce solar fuels; higher efficiency water-splitting for H2

Green Car Congress

We demonstrated that the same process that produces extra current in a solar cell can also be applied to produce extra chemical reactions or stored energy in chemical bonds. The major difference here is that we captured that MEG enhancement in a chemical bond rather than just in the electrical current. —Matthew Beard. —Yan et al.
