New composite reduces rare earth element usage in three-way catalytic converters

Green Car Congress

The high-performance, three-way catalytic (TWC) converter is one of the workhorses of emissions reduction for gasoline engines. Ce is an essential element in oxygen-storage materials that reversibly stores and releases large amounts of oxygen depending upon the partial oxygen pressure in the gas phase.

Japan-US team develops novel catalyst for reversible hydrogen storage under mild conditions using CO2, formate and formic acid

Green Car Congress

This diagram shows the new catalyst in its protonated and deprotonated states as it reversibly converts hydrogen and CO 2 gas to and from liquid formate or formic acid at ambient temperature and pressure. Tests of the new catalyst revealed superior catalytic performance for storing and releasing H 2 under very mild reaction conditions.

Old empires could be the key to a new car future – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Hydrogen is the most abundant substance in the universe, and a crucial element in the creation of our most precious resource: water. All three automakers are part of larger business empires — called chaebol in South Korea and keiretsu in Japan. By the end of 2024 Hyundai it expects to have another plant convert sewage into hydrogen.
