New stable Fe3O4/C composite material for conversion electrode in solid-state Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Europe, with colleagues from Samsung R&D Institute in Japan, have developed a highly stable Fe 3 O 4 /C composite for use as a conversion electrode in all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. In addition, recently a new chemistry has surfaced, allowing to store more Li + by the so-called conversion mechanism. Resources.

DOE issues FOA for up to $4M for development of advanced H2 storage systems and materials

Green Car Congress

Most of the hydrogen that is used today is stored as a compressed gas (with pressures typically ranging from 150 to 700 bar) or a liquid (liquid storage requires cryogenic temperatures near 20 K). kWh/L (40 g H 2 /L); and $12/kWh ($400/kg H 2 stored). kWh/L (70 g H 2 /L); and $8/kWh ($267/kg H 2 stored). kWh/kg (5.5 kWh/kg (7.5

DOE issues Request for Information on hydrogen storage for onboard vehicle applications

Green Car Congress

Currently, carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are used to make COPVs. COPVs designed to store hydrogen gas at pressures up to 700 bar are being deployed in fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) currently available on the market. The conversion process of PAN precursor to CF is also energy intensive.

SEAT pushes forward with CNG line-up

Green Car Congress

SEAT is also supporting the development and availability of renewable bio-methane, which neutralizes CO 2 emissions generated through vehicle use. Although CNG is stored at high pressure, (approximately 200bar), the storage tanks are built and homologated to withstand more than twice their maximum working pressure. The new SEAT Leon 1.5

DOE to award up to $6.7M to projects to convert captured CO2 to useful products, including fuels

Green Car Congress

The new DOE funding opportunity announcement ( DE-FOA-0001622 ) focuses on the second of these pathways which is focused on securing applications for projects that will develop CO 2 -utilization technologies that produce useful products at lower cost than currently available technologies, without generating additional greenhouse gas emissions.
