New sensor system for continuous in situ monitoring of H2 quality at fueling stations

Green Car Congress

For use in fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen has to be free of any contaminants that could damage the fuel cell. Professor Andreas Schütze and his research team at Saarland University are collaborating with research partners—the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE and Hydac Electronic GmbH—to develop a sensor system that can provide continuous in situ monitoring of hydrogen quality at hydrogen fueling stations.

ESA completes further design validation of Reaction Engine’s air-breathing SABRE rocket engine

Green Car Congress

UK-based Reaction Engines has received further endorsement of its SABRE (Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine) design ( earlier post ) via its collaboration with ESA and the UK Space Agency (UKSA). The two agencies recently reviewed the preliminary design of the demonstrator engine core of the Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine (SABRE), which Reaction Engines will use to undertake ground-based testing at its under-construction test facility at Westcott, Buckinghamshire.

Researchers improve fast-charging performance of LCO cathodes with BaTiO3 nanodots

Green Car Congress

Scientists at Tokyo Tech and Okayama University have improved the performance of LiCoO 2 cathodes in Li-ion batteries by decorating them with BaTiO 3 nanodots. They also elucidated the mechanism behind the measured results, concluding that the BaTiO 3 nanodots create a special interface through which Li ions can circulate easily, even at very high charge/discharge rates.
