MIT/Tsinghua high-rate aluminum yolk-shell nanoparticle anode for Li-ion battery with long cycle life and high capacity

Green Car Congress

In an open access paper in the journal Nature Communications , they reported that the Al yolk-shell anode achieved a 10 C charge/discharge rate with reversible capacity exceeding 650 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles, with a 3 mg cm −2 loading. The charge/discharge rate was set at 1 C. The charge/discharge rate was set at 1 C. (b)

Exeter team develops low-cost photoelectrode for spontaneous water-splitting using sunlight

Green Car Congress

The greatest challenge is to develop a suitable technology for large scale and cost effective solar fuel production to compete with fossil fuel. One way this could be achieved is by using photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting which directly converts water and sunlight to solar fuel (hydrogen). After a further 6?hours Govinder S.

Inventing Postscript, the Tech That Took the Pain out of Printing

Cars That Think

The time was right because of the imminence of three hardware developments: the first low-cost, bit-mapped personal computer, the first low-cost laser printer, and a decline in price of high-density memory chips. Other page description languages are optimized for one of these purposes, not both.)

note the potential of each technology and explain what advances must occur with each if they’re ultimately to be deployed. To be successful, systems will need to evolve—in some cases, considerably—to compete financially with the cost of natural gas production. In their study, Yang et al. Credit: ACS, Yang et al.

ARPA-E to award up to $25M for work on WBG power semiconductor devices

Green Car Congress

Their widespread adoption, enabled by low-cost, high-performance power electronics could yield up to a 20% reduction in U.S. Automotive: High costs have thus far prevented the widespread electrification of vehicles. Low Switching Frequency: Silicon high voltage power MOSFETs require large die areas to keep conduction losses low.
