Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

In a paper in Nature , they suggest that the use of such redox-active organic molecules instead of redox-active metals represents a new and promising direction for realizing massive electrical energy storage at greatly reduced cost. The design permits larger amounts of energy to be stored at lower cost than with traditional batteries.

Sandia team boosts hydrogen production activity by molybdenum disulfide four-fold; low-cost catalyst for solar-driven water splitting

Green Car Congress

A team led by researchers from Sandia National Laboratories has shown that molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ), exfoliated with lithiation intercalation to change its physical structure, performs as well as the best state-of-the-art catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) but at a significantly lower cost. —Bryan Kaehr.

Unitree’s New Go2 Is One Dynamic Quadruped

Cars That Think

Unitree has just announced the Go2 , a new version that manages to both be significantly better and super- duper -cheap—it’s faster and more agile and now even includes a lidar, but somehow costs just $1,600. But who cares, because that’s some very impressive, dynamic mobility at a shockingly low cost.

UT Austin team develops new family of high-capacity anode materials: Interdigitated Eutectic Alloys

Green Car Congress

The new family of anode materials, which the researchers dubbed the Interdigitated Eutectic Alloy (IdEA) anode, also saves time and materials by producing an anode using only two simple steps instead of the multiple steps traditionally required to mass-produce lithium-ion battery anodes. —Kreder et al. —Karl Kreder.

Ham Radio Inspired This Scranton University Student to Pursue Engineering

Cars That Think

Piccini now is helping to develop a low-cost, low-power system to send a signal into the ionosphere and measure the time it takes to return. If we can make them cheap enough, we could get ham radio operators to set them up and increase data points.” “I

Europe may slap retroactive tariffs on Chinese EVs

Baua Electric

Back in October 2023, Europe launched its formal investigation into the Chinese EV industry, as European companies are struggling to compete with the cheap, high-tech Chinese imports, made by low-cost labor, entering the European Union.
