Texas study finds PHEV use could increase ozone at night, decrease ozone during the day

Green Car Congress

A study by researchers at the University of Texas found that in general, use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can lead to an increase in ozone during nighttime hours (due to decreased scavenging from both vehicles and EGU stacks) and a decrease in ozone during daytime hours. Tammy Thompson, (now at MIT), lead author.

Video Friday: Ingenuity’s 50th Flight

Cars That Think

To showcase this new technology, the soft motor is used in a variety of applications from squeeze-based speed control to fully-soft underwater propulsion to hybrid water pumps to propelling a hybrid toy car. Since then, it has exceeded expectations and most recently executed its 50th flight on Mars. Irwin, California.

UT Austin team achieves best reported full-cell hybrid Li-air battery cycling with new ordered catalyst

Green Car Congress

Cycling performance of the hybrid Li− air batteries with (top) ordered Pd 3 Fe/C air electrode and (bottom) conventional Pt/C air electrode. However, the cycle life of such hybrid systems is limited. The UT team compared the catalytic performances of ordered Pd 3 Fe/C and conventional Pt/C in a rechargeable hybrid Li−air battery.
