Porous Metal-Organic Frameworks Made from Food-Grade Natural Products; Edible MOFs for Gas Storage and Other Applications

Green Car Congress

The nodes of the lattices are complexes of transition metals (such as copper, zinc, nickel, or cobalt); organic molecules make up the connections between the nodes. Within their pores, the MOFs can store gases such as hydrogen or carbon dioxide. Most previously prepared MOFs are made of building blocks that stem from petrochemicals.

Six Technology Innovations in Electric Vehicle Charging

Driivz

For buildings and fleets, site-level energy needs are also factored in. The idea of using the energy stored in EV batteries for other purposes started with vehicle-to-grid (V2G). Instead of generating more power during peak times, utilities would purchase stored energy from EV owners and distribute it over the grid.
