MIT team develops first supercapacitor made entirely from neat MOFs, without conductive additives or binders

Green Car Congress

The MOF-based device shows an areal capacitance that exceeds those of most carbon-based materials and capacity retention greater than 90% over 10,000 cycles, in line with commercial devices. Tests showed they lost less than 10% of their performance after 10,000 cycles, which is comparable to existing commercial supercapacitors.

ArcelorMittal makes US$5M investment in H2Pro to support novel new water-splitting technology E-TAC

Green Car Congress

E-TAC’s membrane-free electrolytic reactors are suitable for high-pressure hydrogen production and cost-efficient scaling. E-TAC is also expected to prove more cost effective than traditional electrolysis, with CAPEX costs anticipated to be broadly halved, alongside lower operational costs.

Creating the Commodore 64: The Engineers’ Story

Cars That Think

Part of the reason for its success is the price, which keeps falling—from $595 at its introduction to $149 currently, for which the consumer gets graphics and sound equal to or better than that provided by machines that cost five times as much. The cost of developing the Commodore 64: No one knows. It’s only sand.”
