Exeter team develops low-cost photoelectrode for spontaneous water-splitting using sunlight

Green Car Congress

The researchers believe this new type of photoelectrode is not only cheap to produce, but can also be recreated on a larger scale for mass and worldwide use. A promising way of storing solar energy is via chemical fuels, in particular hydrogen as it is considered as a future energy carrier.

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

Green Car Congress

aromatic organic molecules represents a new and promising direction for cost-effective, large-scale energy storage. I think the chemistry we have right now might be the best that’s out there for stationary storage and quite possibly cheap enough to make it in the marketplace, but we have ideas that could lead to huge improvements.

IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

IPG’s project will demonstrate the role of Flameless Ceramic Turbine technology in bringing EV charging to high-use and remote locations through clean, cheap, grid-independent power generation. But, in many high-use areas and remote locations, upgrading grid connections to meet future charging demand is not practical or commercially viable.

Initial Results of UK EV Driver Study Show Increased Confidence and Low Cost Recharging

Green Car Congress

This data will also be used to map out a future network of electric charging points, to further extend range and improve the convenience of electric vehicles. Collecting real-world analysis of electric vehicles is essential in understanding actual demands and requirements of low carbon vehicles for consumers. External temperature.

Coulomb, MasterCard, and the future of public charging

Plugs and Cars

But given the relatively low cost of electricity, and the large public environmental benefit, it seems premature to presume monetization or let the desire for monetization drive the placement of charge stations. I think it makes sense for public resources to drive the early rollout.

LANL researchers discover how cobalt might replace precious metals as industrial catalyst

Green Car Congress

Cobalt, like iron and other transition metals in the Periodic Table, is cheap and relatively abundant, but it has a propensity to undergo irreversible reactions rather than emerging unchanged from chemical reactions as is required of an effective catalyst.
