DOE awarding $1.6B to 11 battery materials separation and processing projects as part of $2.8B funding

Green Car Congress

This project will expand Anovion’s existing manufacturing capacity in Sanborn, NY—notably the only qualified US source of battery-grade synthetic graphite commercially shipping product today. Anovion’s selected site has critical infrastructure in place that will allow for an accelerated timeline for the construction of the facility.

EPoSil: electroactive polymers for generating electricity from wave power

Green Car Congress

A German consortium involving four companies and and two universities is developing dielectric elastomers (electroactive polymers) for the conversion of mechanical energy—in this case wave power—into electrical power. This grant is part of the “smart materials for innovative products” program. they are electrodes.

Study shows a much cheaper catalyst can generate hydrogen in a commercial electrolyzer

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have shown for the first time that a low-cost, non-precious metal cobalt phosphide (CoP) catalyst catalyst can split water and generate hydrogen gas for hours on end in the harsh environment of a commercial device.
