New nanoparticle copper compound cathode could enable low-cost, long-life and high-power potassium-ion batteries for grid storage

Green Car Congress

Yi Cui has developed nanoparticle copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) battery cathode materials that demonstrate long cycle life and high power for use in grid storage applications. Short-term transients, including those related to wind and solar sources, present challenges to the electrical grid. Cost is a greater concern.

Fossil Fuels Renewable Energy and EV Modern Life

Setec Powerr

Here in New York City, where we have a population density that supports a mass transit system, most of our fossil fuel use is to power our buildings. A critical issue in decarbonization will also be the role of the electrical grid itself. Wind and solar farms are alternatives to fossil fuel-fired power plants.

UC Davis researchers suggest we may be at the beginning of a real hydrogen transition in transportation

Green Car Congress

In many respects, hydrogen FCVs could offer features that are similar to today’s gasoline cars and are more challenging to achieve in battery-powered vehicles, including good performance, large vehicle size, refueling time of 3-5 minutes and a range of 300-400 miles. These partnerships are bringing key stakeholders together.

Australia Goes All-in on Green Hydrogen

Cars That Think

Building every electrolyzer promised for 2030 would provide only about one-sixth of the green hydrogen required to meet climate targets, according to figures from the International Energy Agency in Paris. Ark’s first move was to access more renewable power in Australia by buying into a 923-MW wind farm that’s expected to spin up in 2024.

ARPA-E awards $30M to 21 projects advance new class of high-performance power converters

Green Car Congress

CIRCUITS project teams will accelerate the development and deployment of a new class of efficient, lightweight, and reliable power converters, based on wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors. If successful, the team will construct a 500 kW building block for a DC fast charger that is at least four times the power density of todays installed units.
