Within their pores, the MOFs can store gases such as hydrogen or carbon dioxide. CD with salt substitute (KCl) or potassium benzoate (food additive E212) in bottled water and Everclear grain spirit (EtOH) yields porous frameworks which constitute edible MOFs. Smaldone et al. The resultant pore volume encompasses 54% of the solid body.

Lithium ion battery powered electric vehicles are a reality, and with this comes much public and academic speculation concerning the importance of lithium availability and market price. They then performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the influence of large fluctuations in the lithium carbonate price. —Jay Whitacre.

To maximize the benefit of the open structure, the researchers needed to use ions that fit; hydrated potassium ions proved to be a much better fit compared with other hydrated ions such as sodium and lithium. The researchers chose to use a water-based electrolyte. It fits perfectly— really, really nicely. —Yi Cui.

Researchers from Texas A&M and Purdue have developed a new cathode material for Li-S batteries based on what they call carbon compartments (CCs)—conductive 3D carbon mesostructures that possess macro- and meso-pores that allow for high loading of sulfur nanoparticles and enhanced electrolyte-sulfur contact.

There is only so much salt you can dissolve in a glass of water. Importantly, the nanofluids are engineered to remain suspended indefinitely, unlike other suspensions—for instance, sand in water. If you don’t want to wait for it to dry, he adds, you can add more water to reduce the acidity, “then you just shop-vac it up.”

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. We need a way of producing alternative cleaner fuels, minimizing use of hydrocarbons, or at a minimum recycling the carbon dioxide to form these more useful fuels. earlier post ).

The major components of PM are sulfate, nitrates, ammonia, sodium chloride, black carbon, mineral dust and water. When sufficiently sensitive measurement tools are available, concentrations of fine particles (PM 2.5 PM affects more people than any other pollutant. or smaller), are also reported.

The 55kW E-Drive fits neatly onto the existing engine mounting points with just three additional connections (water, high voltage electrics and low voltage electrics). Power is provided by two air-cooled sodium nickel chloride battery packs, integrated under the floor of the vehicle so they don’t compromise luggage space or vehicle stability.
