Rechargeable membrane-less hydrogen bromine flow battery shows high power density

Green Car Congress

MIT researchers have engineered a new rechargeable, membrane-less hydrogen bromine laminar flow battery with high power density. The rapid and reversible reaction kinetics of both the bromine reduction reaction and the hydrogen oxidation reaction minimize activation losses, while the low cost ($1.39 Credit: Braff et al.

Element 1 and NEXA Capital partner on methanol-based hydrogen generation for electric vertical aircraft

Green Car Congress

Being a liquid at ambient conditions, methanol can be handled, stored, and transported by leveraging existing infrastructure that supports the global trade of methanol. In addition, most hydrogen today is generated at large-scale production facilities, delivered and stored as a liquified or compressed gas.

New Lithium rechargeable semi-solid flow cell offers energy densities an order of magnitude greater than previous flow batteries; possible applications in transportation and grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

The SSFC could enable new models such as transportation ‘fuels’ tuned for power versus range, or cold versus warm climates, with flexible refueling and recycling options. Redox flow batteries have such a design, in which active materials are stored within external reservoirs and pumped into an ion-exchange/electron-extraction power stack.

European automotive and automotive battery industries call for extension of the exemption of lead-based batteries from the EU ELV Directive

Green Car Congress

All hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full electric vehicles equipped with high-voltage, advanced rechargeable battery systems also utilize a second electrical system on 12V level for controls, comfort features, redundancy and safety features. In full-hybrid vehicles, the stored energy is also used for a certain range of electric driving.
