KIT/IIT team demonstrates suitability of high-entropy oxides (HEO) as conversion materials for reversible energy storage

Green Car Congress

With HEO, electrochemical properties can be tailored, as was found by scientists at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). This disorder, also referred to as high entropy, stabilizes the material, probably because it impairs migration of defects in the lattice.

This will be recorded systematically for the first time in the project and serve as a reference dimension for the design of the drivetrains. This, in combination with the modular product approach, will enable a fast production start-up. Acceptance of the technology largely depends on its suitability in practice.

Cummins chooses Hythane OptiBlend system for retrofitting dual-fueled power on drilling rigs

Green Car Congress

The Optiblend kit displaces diesel with natural gas (up to 70%) or other alternative fuels, without modifications to the internal components or the stock fuel management system. In 1989, HCI began blending various ratios of hydrogen and natural gas and testing them in an emissions laboratory at Colorado State University.
