New highly selective and efficient catalyst for reduction of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Delaware have developed a highly selective nanoporous silver catalyst capable of electrochemically reducing carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide with 92% efficiency. Additionally, because it is inorganic, silver remains more stable under harsh catalytic environments.

New bimetallic copper-titanium hydrogen evolution catalyst outperforms platinum by more than 2x

Green Car Congress

HER in an acidic environment generally requires lower overpotentials than those in a basic environment. An important area of future studies is to determine the surface valence state using in situ/operando surface-sensitive techniques. The two Cu-Cu-Ti hollow sites exhibit HBE values close to that of Pt. Click to enlarge.

More details about California’s proposal requiring bidirectional charging capabilities for all EVs

Charged EVs

What’s more, bidirectional charging is no hypothetical future technology—it’s here now, and it’s being used around the world in pilot projects and a few commercial-scale programs. The idea is that having vehicles with bidirectional capabilities creates an environment where innovators like Nuvve can develop business models.
