Phillips 66 receives $3M grant to advance reversible solid oxide fuel cell technology

Green Car Congress

Phillips 66 has received a $3-million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to advance the development of high-performance reversible solid oxide fuel cells (RSOFC). Reversible SOFCs allow for the fuel cells to operate in either power generation mode, as a solid oxide fuel cell, or reverse mode, as a solid oxide electrolysis cell.

Georgia Tech study finds link between sulfate, metallic particles from vehicles and adverse health impacts

Green Car Congress

Now, researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have shown how these vehicle-emitted metals—such as copper, iron and manganese—interact with acidic sulfate-rich particles already in the air to produce an aerosol that, when inhaled, is more likely to cause oxidative stress and impact respiratory health. 1360730 and the U.S.
