VisIC and ZF partner on R&D effort to develop EV inverter based on GaN semiconductor technology; focus on 400V

Green Car Congress

The focus of the joint efforts will be on 400-Volt driveline applications, covering the largest segment of the electric vehicle market. It also simplifies the system solution and enables high-efficiency and affordable power train solutions. All of these factors mean that use of D 3 GaN can increase the electric driving range.

volt battery, said Hongjie Dai, a professor of chemistry at Stanford. nickel oxide/nickel heterostructures formed on carbon nanotube sidewalls (NiO/Ni-CNT nano-hybrids). The researchers were able to make the electrocatalysts active enough to split water at room temperature with a single 1.5-volt —Gong et al. and Stephen J.
