Hyundai introduces hydrogen fuel cell H350 light commercial van concept at IAA

Green Car Congress

Unlike a conventional electric vehicle, which requires a number of hours to recharge, the 175-liter hydrogen tank system can be filled in less than four minutes—similar to the time it takes to refill a tank of gasoline or diesel in a vehicle with a traditional internal combustion engine. Depending on wheelbase, the H350 provides 10.5

Startup Blue Current seeking to commercialize non-flammable fluorinated electrolytes for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Li/LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 cells made with this electrolyte showed good performance in galvanostatic cycling, confirming the electrolyte’s potential as rechargeable lithium batteries with enhanced safety and longevity. There is no nonflammable lithium battery on the market today, though others are attempting to make one. Resources.

ARPA-E to award up to $30M for intermediate-temperature fuel cell systems for distributed generation; exploring storage and power-to-fuels

Green Car Congress

Excess electricity generated by the renewable resource could be used to electrochemically convert gaseous fuel such as methane to a liquid chemical to be stored in bulk. This category focuses on fuel cells that also store charge in an electrode, enabling battery-like response to transient loads.

Volkswagen Group shows 3 hydrogen fuel cell concepts at LA Show: Audi A7 Sportback h-tron; Golf Sportwagen HyMotion; Passat HyMotion

Green Car Congress

A photovoltaic array was installed at the site for this purpose. The core of each of these individual cells is a polymer membrane, with a platinum-based catalyst on both sides of the membrane. The tanks can store around five kilograms of hydrogen at a pressure of 700 bar—enough to drive more than 500 kilometers (310.7
