Rechargeable membrane-less hydrogen bromine flow battery shows high power density

Green Car Congress

During discharge, liquid bromine is reduced to hydrobromic acid along the lower solid graphite electrode, and hydrogen is oxidized at the upper porous electrode. MIT researchers have engineered a new rechargeable, membrane-less hydrogen bromine laminar flow battery with high power density. Credit: Braff et al.

Mercedes-Benz has produced more than 1,000 eCitaro electric buses

Green Car Congress

In 2018, the eCitaro was initially launched as a solo bus with a battery capacity of up to 243 kWh. With the second-battery generation, the driving range was extended without increasing the weight, opening the way for the successful eCitaro G articulated bus, which was launched onto the market in mid-2020.
