Stanford researchers develop new electrolysis system to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen

Green Car Congress

Water splitting with electricity—electrolysis—is a simple and old idea: a power source connects to two electrodes placed in water. The nickel foam acts as a conductor—transporting electricity from the power source—and the nickel-iron hydroxide sparks the electrolysis, separating water into oxygen and hydrogen.

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

This synthesis consumes only CO 2 and electricity, and is constrained only by the cost of electricity. Molten carbonate electrosynthesized boron-doped CNTs exhibit high electrical conductivity. Per ton CO 2 avoided, the C2CNT cement plant consumes $50 electricity, emits no CO 2 , and produces $100 cement and ∼$60,000 of CNTs.

Envia Systems announcement may herald the first wave of DOE-supported commercial high energy density Li-ion cells with Si-C anodes

Green Car Congress

As an example, the military’s BB-2590 Li-ion battery used in a range of portable systems calls for a cycle life of ≥224 and ≥ 3 years.). LIB capacity is limited in part by the intercalation of Li ions by the anode material—i.e., Envia is targeting its high energy density Li-ion cells at plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles.
