GWU team demonstrates highly scalable, low-cost process for making carbon nanotube wools directly from CO2

Green Car Congress

The process is constrained by the (low) cost of electricity. Larger scale C2CNT can be achieved through direct elimination of atmospheric CO 2 using solar heat and solar to electric PVs. Monel cathode substrates, electrolyte equilibration, and a mixed metal (NiChrome) nucleation facilitate the synthesis of this CNT wool.

Mad Power thoughts

EV Info

Wind farms stand idle for days on end, a fire interrupts a vital cable from France, a combination of post-Covid economic recovery and Russia tightening supply means the gas price has shot through the roof – and so the market price of both home heating and electricity is rocketing.

Stanford team develops sodium-ion battery with performance equivalent to Li-ion, but at much lower cost

Green Car Congress

The rise of renewable solar and wind power is demanding sustainable storage technologies using components that are inexpensive, Earth-abundant and environmental friendly. Later work turned to disodium rhodizonate (Na 2 C 6 O 6 ), and demonstrated excellent cycle stability in SIB. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences.
