UH, Toyota researchers develop new cathode and electrolyte for high-power Mg battery rivaling Li-ion

Green Car Congress

The other circumvents the difficulties by storing magnesium cation in its complex forms. This new class of redox chemistry bypasses the need of solid-state intercalation while solely storing magnesium, instead of its complex forms, creating a new paradigm in magnesium battery electrode design. Neither approach is practical.

Univ. of Illinois team develops high-power Li-ion microbatteries that can out-power supercapacitors while retaining comparable energy density

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have demonstrated a high-power and high-energy density microbattery constructed from interdigitated three-dimensional (3D) bicontinuous nanoporous electrodes. The performance of power sources is typically measured by power and energy stored per unit mass or unit volume.

Heating Buildings With Solar Energy Stored in Sand

Cars That Think

This sponsored article is brought to you by COMSOL. In a region known for long, dark winter nights, Polar Night Energy is building a system in the city of Tampere that can heat buildings with stored solar energy — all day, all night, and all winter long. This means that storing and distributing energy is as important as its generation.

Exeter team develops low-cost photoelectrode for spontaneous water-splitting using sunlight

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Exeter (UK) have developed a novel p-type LaFeO 3 photoelectrode using an inexpensive and scalable spray pyrolysis method. A promising way of storing solar energy is via chemical fuels, in particular hydrogen as it is considered as a future energy carrier. —Pawar and Tahir. Govinder S.
