USC team develops novel organic redox flow battery for large-scale energy storage

Green Car Congress

Scientists at USC have developed a novel water-based Organic Redox Flow Battery (ORBAT) for lower cost, long lasting large-scale energy storage. ORBAT employs two different water-soluble organic redox couples on the positive and negative side of a flow battery. We have termed this battery an Organic Redox Flow Battery (ORBAT).

Washington governor vetoes legislation mandating all-electric new LDV sales by 2030

Green Car Congress

Governor Inslee signed the bulk of 1287, vetoing the Clean Cars amendment package due to its linking electrification to the implementation of a road usage charge program. Electric was defined as vehicles that use energy stored in rechargeable battery packs or in hydrogen and which rely solely on electric motors for propulsion.

Hyundai is going all in on hydrogen, and relying on food waste to make that happen

Baua Electric

But now it says it will rely heavily on hydrogen fuel cells generated from plastic, food, and organic waste to power a whole new generation of EVs, from passenger cars to heavy-duty trucks. Problem is, there is nowhere to charge them. To recharge, you can top off your vehicle via a fuel cell stack in about five minutes.

U Waterloo team shows four-electron conversion for Li-O2 batteries for high energy density; inorganic molten salt electrolyte, high temperature

Green Car Congress

In addition, the superoxide consumes the organic electrolyte in the process, which greatly limits the cycle life. Nazar and her colleagues switched the organic electrolyte to a more stable inorganic molten salt and the porous carbon cathode to a bifunctional metal oxide catalyst. —Xia et al.
