Stanford team develops new ultrahigh surface area 3D porous graphitic carbon material for improved energy storage

Green Car Congress

The carbons simultaneously exhibit electrical conductivity more than 3x more than activated carbons; very high electrochemical activity at high mass loading; and high stability, as demonstrated by supercapacitors and lithiumsulfur batteries with excellent performance. Tests were also conducted on lithium-sulfur batteries.

ARPA-E Selects 37 Projects for $106M in Funding in Second Round; Electrofuels, Better Batteries and Carbon Capture

Green Car Congress

This project will develop and optimize a novel, engineered microorganism that produces a biodiesel-equivalent fuel from renewable hydrogen and carbon dioxide, at costs of less than $2.50 Water will be the primary byproduct. A novel metal complex for electrolysis of water will be used to generate the hydrogen at high rates.
