GWU team suggests C2CNT carbon nanotube composites could amplify reduction of GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers at George Washington University led by Prof. In the figure "ton" refers to metric tonne and CNT, carbon nanotube. In this discovery of the C2CNT-composite process, carbon nanotubes are produced by electrolysis at low cost consuming, rather than releasing, CO 2 , and then mixed with the structural material.

Nitrogen-doped graphene nanoplatelets offer high catalytic performance in fuel cells and solar cells; possible replacement for Pt

Green Car Congress

Researchers in South Korea have developed a simple, low-cost and eco-friendly method of creating nitrogen-doped graphene nanoplatelets (NGnPs) with excellent catalytic performance in both dye-sensitized solar cells and fuel cells to replace conventional platinum (Pt)-based catalysts for energy conversion. —Jeon et al.

After 50 Years, Digital Voices Speak Again

Cars That Think

And there they would have stayed without a chance conversation and assistance from some very capable librarians and archivists. Due to their low cost, thin form factor, and pliability, flexi discs became the medium of choice for magazine publishers who wished to supplement articles with audio content.
