University at Buffalo-led team reports viable Mn-based catalyst for PEM fuel cells

Green Car Congress

A University at Buffalo-led research team has developed an efficient platinum group metal (PGM)-free catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in PEM fuel cells that consists of atomically dispersed nitrogen-coordinated single Mn sites on partially graphitic carbon (Mn-N-C). and Harbin Institute of Technology.

How to Prevent Blackouts by Packetizing the Power Grid

Cars That Think

grid-scale batteries and pumped-hydro facilities, to hold the excess renewable power being generated, and interconnecting that storage with high-voltage transmission lines, so that supply can meet demand across the grid. Packetized energy management (PEM) allows the power grid to flexibly handle a varying supply of renewable energy.
