Study finds all-electric rideshare fleet could reduce carbon emissions, but increase traffic issues

Green Car Congress

Lead author Aniruddh Mohan and colleagues wanted to develop a method that evaluated the life-cycle costs and benefits for two battery-powered ridesource fleets and a gasoline-powered one. The researchers collected simulated rides provided by three fleets: gasoline-powered, and electric-powered with either 40 kWh or 60 kWh battery packs.

Ti- and Zr-based metal-air batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the University of Michigan and Osaka University in Japan propose in a paper in the Journal of Power Sources a high-temperature, rechargeable metal-air battery that relies on Ti or Zr metal as the anode and the shuttling of oxygen anions between the cathode and the anode through a solid-oxide ion-conducting electrolyte.

MTU researchers developing lighter, less expensive asymmetric ultracapacitors using carbon-foam support

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Michigan Technological University are developing an asymmetric ultracapacitor using a novel cathode based on carbon foam-supported nickel oxyhydroxide. “ Being lighter would give it a real advantage in handheld power tools and consumer electronics ,” said Rogers.
