How to Fast-Track Perovskite Solar Cells

Cars That Think

When British solar manufacturer Oxford PV shipped the first commercial order of perovskite-silicon solar cells last September, it was touted as a breakthrough in the industry. But the lack of follow-on shipments since then serve d as a reminder t hat this te chnology wasn t quite ready for mass commercialization. 20 per watt.

Nuclear Fusion’s New Idea: An Off-the-Shelf Stellarator

Cars That Think

Within this enigmatic fourth state of matter, atoms that have been stripped of their electrons collide, their nuclei fusing and releasing energy in the same process that powers the sun and other stars. Fusion reactions have powered the sun since it formed an estimated 4.6 The problem isn’t whether fusion can work.

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. Paying for 50 megawatts of power capacity when only 1 megawatt is necessary makes little economic sense.
