Hatch report finds NOVONIX dry cathode synthesis process offers cost and waste reduction improvements

Green Car Congress

a global engineering consultancy firm, has delivered its report that evaluates NOVONIX’s all-dry, zero-waste cathode synthesis process. The Hatch study found that NOVONIX’s process may potentially reduce power consumption by an estimated 25% and practically eliminate waste byproduct generation over the conventional process.

Caltech engineers devise new thermochemical cycle for water splitting for H2; recyclable, non-toxic, non-corrosive and at lower temperatures

Green Car Congress

The thermochemical production of hydrogen and oxygen from water via a series of chemical reactions is of interest because it directly converts thermal energy into stored chemical energy (hydrogen and oxygen), and thus can take advantage of excess heat given off by other processes. —Xu et al. NaMnO 2 at 850 °C; Na + extraction from ?-NaMnO

Energy Harvesting for Wearable Technology Steps Up

Cars That Think

Using built-in fuel cells, the device absorbed the lactate in the sweat and combined it with atmospheric oxygen to generate water and pyruvate. So the researchers bought a commercial microgenerator designed for wearable and IoT devices called the Kinetron MSG32. volts for about 60 hours. They said, ‘We don’t know.
