New hydrogen storage material could enable smaller, cheaper, more energy dense systems for vehicles; Kubas binding

Green Car Congress

An international team of researchers, led by Professor David Antonelli of Lancaster University, has discovered a new material made from manganese hydride that could be used to make molecular sieves within hydrogen fuel tanks. The KMH-1 material also absorbs and stores any excess energy so external heat and cooling is not needed.

How Self-Driving Cars Will Accelerate Electric Vehicle Adoption

Green Car Congress

And while hybrid technology has taken off, drivers have been hesitant to accept fully battery-powered tech for a variety of reasons, including a lack of charging stations. In fact, some experts predict electric vehicles (EVs) to account for 65 percent to 75 percent of sales in 2050—which is also good news for the environment.

Penn State team devises new control strategy to enhance EV battery performance when driving in cold temperatures

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Penn State, with a colleague from EC Power, have devised a new control strategy that can rapidly restore EV battery power and permit full regeneration while driving at temperatures as low as −40 °C. The strategy involves heating the battery internally during regenerative braking and rest periods of driving.

New lithium polysulfide flow battery for large-scale energy storage

Green Car Congress

As the lithium surface is well passivated by LiNO 3 additive in ether solvent, internal shuttle effect is largely eliminated and thus excellent performance over 2000 cycles is achieved with a constant capacity of 200 mA h g ?1. Energy Environ. Batteries Power Generation Smart Grid' 1 and 108 Wh L ?1 1 can be achieved.
