Carbonized Titanium Dioxide Nanotubes Could Significantly Increase the Efficiency of Methanol Fuel Cells

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg and the University of Turku in Finland have developed a method to increase the conductivity of titanium dioxide nanotubes without changing their structure. Through carbonization, the titanium dioxide can be converted into a carbon-containing titanium oxycarbide compound.

MIT Looks Ahead to Hydrogen’s Aviation Future

Cars That Think

So while researchers and companies large and small invest in the zero-carbon future of the field, others are beginning to study what supplies and infrastructure on the ground would also be needed to make hydrogen aviation a reality. Hydrogen may be a good thing, but you gotta look at it from the full system level, right? asks Professor R.

Porsche invests in high-performance battery JV Cellforce; Si anodes; BASF NCM cathode materials

Green Car Congress

The new chemistry reduces the battery’s internal resistance, allowing it to absorb more energy during energy recuperation and at the same time offering improved performance for fast charging. The new high-performance cells use silicon as the anode material. The battery cell is the combustion chamber of the future.
