Sandia team boosts hydrogen production activity by molybdenum disulfide four-fold; low-cost catalyst for solar-driven water splitting

Green Car Congress

Nevertheless, because of the scarcity and cost of Pt, a more abundant alternative is needed for cost-effective implementation. —co-author Jeff Brinker, Sandia Fellow and University of New Mexico professor. But getting inexpensive molly to work this much more efficiently could drive hydrogen production costs way down.

Convert Oil Wells to Solve the Solar Storage Problem

Cars That Think

The idea, says Daniel Codd , a researcher in renewable energy systems at the University of California, San Diego, is to store solar-produced heat in rock formations below the surface, creating a solar-charged geothermal resource in which heat is stored for meaningful durations. But we can still reduce the carbon [cost] of that oil.”

Stanford team develops sodium-ion battery with performance equivalent to Li-ion, but at much lower cost

Green Car Congress

Organic compounds that can be obtained from natural biomass with minimum energy consumption are an attractive low-cost and sustainable choice for battery electrode materials, provided a high energy density and long cycling stability can be obtained. The sodium salt makes up the cathode; the anode is made up of phosphorous.

CMU study suggests difficulties in reaching targeted low price points for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

However, no specific model has existed to examine the costs of manufacturing these cylindrical cells. To date, manufacturing process research and cost models have focused exclusively on prismatic cells, and there is no specific model to address the costs of manufacturing cylindrical cells. —Rebecca Ciez. 2016.11.054.

Could Zinc Gel Chemistry Outperform Flow Batteries?

Cars That Think

Gelion founder and inventor of the new technology, Professor Thomas Maschmeyer at the University of Sydney, describes how it works. Zinc-bromine technologies can do well due to the low cost of materials." Instead of circulating fluids, the battery uses a proprietary gel, hence the company name gel plus ion."
