ANL Project on Actively Coupled Ultracapacitor-Battery System for PHEVs Attracting OEM Interest

Green Car Congress

The objective of the project is to develop a high power and high energy electrical storage system that combines the strengths of each technology—high power density for ultracapacitors and high energy storage for Li-ion batteries—at equal or better system efficiency and net cost/density compared to current conventional Li-ion batteries.

New cathodes for low-temperature solid-oxide fuel cells

Green Car Congress

An SOFC has three major components: two porous electrodes (cathode and anode) separated by a solid oxygen ion (O 2– ) conducting electrolyte. However, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can oxidize any fuel, because the electrolyte transports an oxygen ion. Earlier post.). 2015.06.136.

PNNL study outlines requirements for grid storage, reviews four electrochemical energy storage systems: vanadium redox flow, Na-beta, Li-ion and lead-carbon

Green Car Congress

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. To be successful, systems will need to evolve—in some cases, considerably—to compete financially with the cost of natural gas production. The most commonly used systems today work by converting electricity to kinetic (e.g.,
