KU Leuven team creates solar panel that produces hydrogen from moisture in air

Green Car Congress

The hydrogen gas produced in the summer will be stored and converted into electricity and heat in the winter. The hydrogen gas produced in the summer can be stored in an underground pressure vessel until winter. We wanted to design something sustainable that is affordable and can be used practically anywhere.

Argonne researchers find cathode material synthesis a key reason for performance degradation of sodium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Na-ion is particularly attractive because of the greater abundance and lower cost of sodium compared with lithium. V), a sodium-ion battery can greatly increase the amount of energy that can be stored in a given weight or volume. In addition, when cycled at high voltage (4.5 —Guiliang Xu.

Cornell team develops aluminum-anode batteries with up to 10,000 cycles

Green Car Congress

Friend Family Distinguished Professor of Engineering, have been exploring the use of low-cost materials to create rechargeable batteries that will make energy storage more affordable. So if we have a longer service life, then this cost will be further reduced. They also have a very long cycle life.
