In a paper in the Journal ChemSusChem they report that using a novel gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) enables stable performance close to the theoretical capacity (1675 mAh g -1 ) of a low cost sulfur-carbon composite with high active material loading, i.e. 70% S.

The UK’s Carbon Trust recently awarded £1.95 million) to two UK fuel cell companies—ACAL Energy and ITM Power—to help deliver a step change reduction in the cost of the technology to about $35/kW. Significant additional technological breakthroughs are needed to achieve this target of a 30% cost reduction.

Ranges of automotive fuel cell system costs at mass manufactured volume using technology from three UK companies supported by the Carbon Trust. Source: Carbon Trust. Cost savings can be achieved by reducing material costs (notably platinum use), increasing power density, reducing system complexity and improving durability.

Cost reduction potential of a polymer fuel cell system using an ITM Power membrane. Source: Carbon Trust. ITM Power has published figures showing what it believes is the highest ever polymer fuel cell power density using hydrogen as the fuel and ordinary air, rather than pure oxygen. DOE says that 2011 costs are $49/kW.

The Precourt Institute for Energy, the umbrella organization for energy research and education at Stanford, will fund the following four studies: Nanostructured Polymers for High-Performance Batteries. This project explores the use of specially designed nanostructured polymers to make high-energy, low-cost, flexible and stretchable batteries.

Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) have developed a new process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis; they call the process C2CNT (CO2 into carbon nanotubes). This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity. —Ren et al.
