PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

These vehicles are the green machines that will provide a critical part of the renewable and sustainable society that we need for the future. [ Electric fuel cost is a fraction of gasoline or diesel fossil fuel cost, even at a time when petroleum prices are temporarily reduced due to geopolitical manipulations and manufacturing costs.

KAUST uses laser pulses to boost performance of MXene electrode

Green Car Congress

With the nanodots in place, the material had a four-fold higher electrical storage capacity than the original MXene and almost reached the theoretical maximum capacity of graphite. This could help to develop a new generation of rechargeable batteries that use cheaper and more abundant metals than lithium, for example.

Hybrid biomass flow battery stores electricity and produces valuable chemicals at the same time

Green Car Congress

Rechargeable batteries store electricity in their electrode materials, while redox flow batteries use chemicals stored in tanks attached to the electrodes. Researchers have now developed a battery system based on a hybrid cell, which not only stores and provides electricity but also produces valuable chemicals in a flow system.
