Unifrax introduces new nano-structured alumina catalyst support technology for a greener catalytic conversion option: Eco-lytic

Green Car Congress

Housed within a vehicle’s catalytic converter, the Eco-lytic catalyst support fiber is designed to replace the existing catalytic converter or add to existing systems in order to enhance emission reduction, consume fewer precious metals and raw materials, and drive lower energy usage through vehicle weight reduction.

Ioxus Developing Higher Power Density Ultracapacitors

Green Car Congress

Smaller Ioxus cells offer a power density of 22-28 kW/kg, and larger cells offer densities of 12-15 kW/kg, said Chad Hall, COO of Ioxus. both electrodes are carbon, as opposed to the hybrid (asymmetric) ultracapacitors in which in one of the electrodes is carbon and the other electrode utilizes a different material.

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

But Nissan has announced that for North America, they too are converting over to CCS. Importantly, Tesla is about to offer a converter that allows Teslas to use CCS charging sites. It makes no sense to me to own a gas-only car in 2030 or even just a plain hybrid. But what about plug-in hybrids? A friend of mine once said.

Big Science tools for clean transportation: neutron scattering at ORNL

Green Car Congress

HYSPEC: HYSPEC Hybrid Spectrometer. In their paper, the team noted that many additive manufacturing (AM) technologies use thermally driven phase change mechanisms to convert the feedstock into functioning material. NRSF2: Neutron Residual Stress Mapping Facility. FNPB: Fundamental Neutron Physics Beam Line. Blade height is ~76 mm.
