We show that water-splitting catalysts comprising earth- abundant materials can be integrated with amorphous silicon with minimal engineering to enable direct solar-to-fuels conversion based on water splitting. This technology will advance side by side with new initiatives to improve and lower the cost of photovoltaics.

During the charging process, the reduced form of the redox shuttle, M red , is first converted to M ox on the oxygen electrode, which in turn oxidizes the Li 2 O 2. The state of the art is to use a solar panel to capture the light, and then use a cheap battery to store the energy. Any time you can do that, you reduce cost.

Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), with colleagues from Oregon State University, have developed PNNL a durable, inexpensive molybdenum-phosphide catalyst that efficiently converts wastewater and seawater into hydrogen. Like seawater, the MoP catalyst material is widely available, and therefore, cheap.

In addition, it is subject to similar refining, storage and distribution costs currently associated with petrol and diesel, including upstream CO2 emissions where the electricity required is usually generated from fossil fuels. Hence its supply would not be cheap, renewable nor sustainable in the long term.

The company is currently focusing on plans to plug the gap between the current market and a future when electric cars hit the mainstream, by converting Lotus Elises and Volkswagen (VW) Golfs to electric power. ECE hopes the glamorous image of these conversions will help raise the profile of electric driving.

SOURCE: GARTNER Fortunately, we have access to an information storage technology that is cheap, readily available, and stable at room temperature for millennia: DNA , the material of genes. In other words, we already convert digital information to and from DNA, but generally using only sequences that make sense in terms of biology.

At current transportation battery prices, that is well beyond the cost of spinning reserve. On the other hand, the cost of a used transportation battery will be set by the next cheapest form of scalable dispatchable storage such as air pressure storage less the battery recycle value. The closest to that source is solar.
