GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity. In 2015 we demonstrated that specific transition metals at the cathode, such as Ni, Co, Cu and Fe, act as nucleation points for high yield carbon nanotube growth in molten carbonates. Addition of BaCO 3 increases electrolyte density.

A closer look at minimizing AC charging losses: From the breaker to EV (Part 1)

Charged EVs

It’s fairly well known by now that EVs cost far less per mile to drive than their closest ICE counterparts, and the main reason is simply that the EV drivetrain is far more efficient at converting its stored form of energy into motion. First, in the interest of clarity, let’s define some terms that we’ll use in this article.

CalCars and PHEVs Frequently Asked Questions

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Until then, we also recommend you look at the FAQ at the Climate Progress Blog and the FAQ by Hybrids-Plus , an after-market converter of hybrid cars, for answers to many questions! The costs and benefits of cars extend far beyond an individual driver to society as a whole. By then, theyll probably cost well under $1,000.
