The resulting CNT wool is of length suitable for weaving into carbon composites and textiles and is highly conductive; the calculated cost to produce the CNTs is approximately $660 per ton, compared to the current $100,000+ per ton price range of CNTs. The process is constrained by the (low) cost of electricity. Johnson et al.

Daniel Nocera and his associates have found another formulation, based on inexpensive and widely available materials, that can efficiently catalyze the splitting of water molecules using electricity. Earlier post.). Materials for the new catalyst are even more abundant and inexpensive than those required for the first.

As the fraction of electricity generation from intermittent renewable sources—such as solar or wind—grows, the ability to store large amounts of electrical energy is of increasing importance. Solid-electrode batteries maintain discharge at peak power for far too short a time to fully regulate wind or solar power output.

Chemists from Emory University and the Paris Institute of Molecular Chemistry have developed a stable and fast homogeneous water oxidation catalyst (WOC), considered a crucial component for generating hydrogen using only water and sunlight, that is easily prepared from readily available salts and oxides of earth abundant elements.

Electric Hydrogen was founded by a team of energy transition veterans from First Solar and Tesla. Electric Hydrogen is engineering a high-performance product for water electrolysis—something that could scale up to significant commercial applications. —Guido Bender, NREL principal investigator on the project.

Short-term transients, including those related to wind and solar sources, present challenges to the electrical grid. Stationary energy storage systems that can operate for many cycles, at high power, with high round-trip energy efficiency, and at low cost are required. Cost is a greater concern. —Colin Wessells.
