OSU smart membrane could enable new category of high-energy, high-power energy storage for EVs

Green Car Congress

A team at the Ohio State University has developed a membrane that regulates bi-directional ion transport across it as a function of its redox state and that could be used as a programmable smart membrane separator in future supercapacitors and redox flow batteries. B) PPy(DBS) is formed over a porous substrate spanning the pores.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

Green Energy Ohio plant in Dayton, OH. Whereas, battery EVs fueled on average grid electricity emit 105–124 g CO2 eq./km, UCS also reported that once the grid is fully renewable, the number for EVs is reduced to 41 g CO2 eq./km. km over their lifetime. km, 49% lower than the CO2 production of a comparable gasoline car.
