Renault Group and Plug Power launch HYVIA joint venture; ecosystem of fuel cell LCVs, green hydrogen & refueling stations

Green Car Congress

The name HYVIA is a contraction of “HY” for hydrogen and the Latin word “VIA” for road, embodying the ambition to open a new path towards low-carbon mobility. Commercial vehicles such as LCVs require greater range and shorter refueling time, operational demands where hydrogen fuel cells can offer an attractive solution.

UC Riverside team develops new coating strategy for Li-metal anodes to prevent dendrite formation

Green Car Congress

For these purposes, many high-capacity cathode (including Li−sulfur and Li−air) and anode materials (Li metal, silicon, tin, and metal oxide) have recently re-emerged. Among these materials, Li metal is the ideal anode material for rechargeable Li batteries due to its various advantages including low redox potential (−3.04 6b05475.
