China-US team uses graphene composite separator to suppress polysulfide shuttling in Li-S batteries

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers from institutions in China and the US report the design of a negatively charged graphene composite separator for the effective suppression of the polysulfide shuttling effect in Li-sulfur batteries. A recent study demonstrated “charge environment” as an effective way to mitigate the PS shuttling effect. —Lei et al.

New Federal-Mogul Powertrain high thermal conductivity seats and guides keep engine valves cooler; improved combustion, lower emissions

Green Car Congress

In the case of dual layer composite valve seat inserts, the secondary material of the insert is no longer simply a low cost carrier for the functional seating layer which contacts the valve head; it serves an engineering purpose by conducting more heat away from the valve head.
